Prohibited Practices:

• Risk management
  Allocating a substantial or majority portion of the allowable daily loss or available margin to a single trade idea, whether through realized losses, stop-loss exposure, or a set of highly correlated positions, is prohibited.

• Martingale
  Martingale is a trading strategy that involves increasing position size after a loss in an attempt to recover previous losses with a single winning trade; the use of martingale strategies is prohibited.

• Grid Trading/ Hedging
  Grid Trading or Hedging is a trading approach where opposing buy and sell orders for the same instrument are strategically placed to achieve equivalent or similar risk and is prohibited.

• Reverse trading
  Whether conducted between different proprietary trading firms or internally between multiple Moneta Funded accounts, is strictly prohibited.

• High-Frequency Trading (HFT)
  Refers to trading patterns that rely primarily on extremely short holding times, rapid order placement, or execution speed rather than genuine market direction or strategy. This may include automated or manual strategies designed mainly to exploit latency, price feed differences, or execution mechanics through very high volumes of rapid trades. Short-term trading and scalping are permitted. Trades held for seconds or minutes as part of a legitimate discretionary or systematic strategy are considered normal trading activity. However, trading behavior that consistently involves extremely short-duration trades executed in very high frequency, or strategies built primarily around execution speed rather than market analysis, may be classified as HFT and may trigger risk controls or account limitations.

• Hyperactivity and Excessive Order Spamming
  Trading activity that involves an abnormally high volume of orders, excessive scaling, or repetitive order placement without a genuine discretionary trading rationale is prohibited.

• Latency Arbitrage Trading
  Involves employing a data stream intentionally designed to have a delay or lag in providing market data, such as stock prices or trading volumes. This grants an unjust advantage to the trader compared to others who must rely on real-time market data.

• General Exploitation of a Demo Environment
  While Latency Arbitrage Trading is one of the most frequented methodologies utilized to exploit demo environments, it's not the only way traders can exploit a demo environment in order to make unethical gains that wouldn't otherwise be possible within legitimate financial markets. That is, traders can also take advantage of glitches that arise within a demo environment rather than reporting the glitch taking place.

• Gamification of the Evaluation
  Participants must engage in genuine market speculation based on their own discretionary analysis. Any attempt to optimize, manipulate, or ""game"" the parameters of the evaluation instead of trading the financial markets is prohibited. This includes statistical or probability-based approaches that seek to exploit the firm's rules without a genuine market thesis, trigger, or understanding. Trading strategies whose primary objective is to maximize the probability of passing the evaluation by exploiting the program's mechanics, rather than demonstrating authentic trading skill, are not permitted.

• Account Sharing
  Traders are prohibited from sharing accounts or transferring Simulated Funded Accounts from one owner to another for any purpose.

Phoenix Scaling Program

• The Phoenix Program provides a unique opportunity for rewarding traders who consistently exhibit expert performance. Account holders will be automatically progressed to the next phase upon completion of the below detailed Targets for Scaling.

• Traders may begin at Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, or Level 4 of the program.

• Once the 10% profit target for the selected starting level is achieved, that 10% will be converted into withdrawable credit at the next level.

• The credit may be withdrawn at the next payout, provided the 14-day minimum payout interval and the requirement of 3 minimum profitable days are met.

• For example, a trader starting at Level 2 ($5,000 starting balance) who reaches the 10% profit target ($500) will automatically scale to Level 3 ($10,000 starting balance).

• The $500 profit is converted into withdrawable credit.
  At this point, the trader has two options:

Option 1 – Continue scaling

• The trader may continue trading and work toward the Level 3 profit target of 10 ($1,000). Once this target is reached, the account will scale to the next level.

Option 2 – Request a payout

• After the minimum 14-day trading period from the first trade and at least 3 profitable days are met, the trader may request a payout. Any new profits generated on the Level 3 account can be withdrawn together with the $500 credit.

• For example, if the trader earns an additional $200 on the Level 3 account, they may request a payout of $700 ($500 credit + $200 profit), provided the payout conditions are satisfied.

• If the trader chooses to withdraw the $700, they will still need to generate the full Level 3 profit target of 10% ($1,000) in order to scale up to the next level.

Sprint Program

• The minimum payout is the full payoff amount and can be requested on demand.

Instant Pro

• The minimum payout is $100, with the first payout available on demand and subsequent every 14 days.

Other Programs

• The minimum payout is $100, with payouts available every 14 days.
