Avoiding Gambling Practices and Maintaining Responsible Trading at TradingCult

2 min. readlast update: 01.17.2025

At TradingCult, we prioritise a disciplined, long-term approach to trading, emphasising that it is not a means to make quick profits or gamble. While financial markets can be risky, successful traders focus on consistency, risk management, and well-defined strategies. We are committed to upholding integrity and professionalism, ensuring that gambling-like behaviours are avoided in favour of responsible trading practices.

Prohibited Gambling-like Behaviours:

  • Excessive Risk-Taking: Taking on substantial exposure to risk without proper risk management is not permitted.
  • “All-In” Trading: Committing a large portion of your available capital or margin to a single trade is considered high-risk behaviour.
  • Improper Use of Leverage: Using excessive leverage to risk a significant portion of the account in one or multiple trades is prohibited.
  • Inconsistent Strategies: Trading without a consistent approach, whether within a single account or across multiple challenges, undermines the integrity of your strategy.
  • Account Rolling: Continuously purchasing multiple evaluation challenges and recklessly trading them disregards the goal of testing and refining a sustainable trading strategy.
  • Binary Event Trading: Consistently placing trades just before major economic news releases or other high-impact events is not allowed.

These practices can lead to overexposure, increased risk, and undermine sound principles of risk management. Traders should avoid strategies that involve high margin utilisation or excessive leverage, as these can compromise the integrity of responsible trading.

At TradingCult, we encourage all traders to adhere to disciplined, well-managed strategies aligned with established risk management standards. If a trader is found engaging in these prohibited behaviours, the company reserves the right to immediately close the account, with potential forfeiture of any fees owed, following a thorough review at the company's sole discretion.
