At FundedSeat, we empower you to develop your unique trading approach within our established guidelines and risk requirements. We also strive to provide a structured and fair evaluation process to identify traders who can demonstrate consistent performance and disciplined risk management.
The following trading practices are not allowed:
Gap trading
High-frequency trading
Hedging, including opposite account trading
Latency arbitrage, long-short arbitrage, reverse arbitrage
Toxic trading flow
Server spamming/execution abuse
Device sharing or third-party account management
Bots or any form of automated/algorithmic trading, including EAs
Simultaneous trading of mini and micro futures contracts
VPN usage is prohibited. To use a VPS, initiate the trading session from your own device.
Violating these rules, whether intentionally or unintentionally, can result in reward denial and account closure. We recommend carefully reviewing and adhering to all trading rules.
Microscalping
Microscalping refers to placing trades aimed at capturing small price movements—often just a few ticks—within a few seconds.
While this strategy is not outright banned, it cannot form the core of your trading approach. We are seeking traders who demonstrate consistency and strategic thinking over time.
Guideline:
At least 50% of your total profit must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds.
VPN/VPS usage
the use of VPN services and VPS setups will no longer be permitted during trading sessions — with one important exception for VPS users.
If you trade using a VPS, you are welcome to continue doing so. However, you will be required to initiate your login session from your regular IP address first, and only then switch over to your VPS environment. This ensures that your account activity can be properly verified.
We understand that forgetting to turn off a VPN happens. A first-time or occasional VPN connection will result in a warning only. Continued use of a VPN during trading sessions will be treated as a clear violation.
Trade Your Own Account
All trading activity at FundedSeat must be conducted solely by the account holder. The following are strictly prohibited:
Team or group trading with other individuals
Trading on someone else’s behalf
Shared devices (e.g., computers or phones used by multiple traders)
Once you complete a phase of your evaluation, the account must remain under your exclusive control. Any third-party involvement or strategy handoff—before or after funding—will result in disqualification and account closure.
We enforce this to protect the integrity of our platform and ensure that funded accounts reflect the skill of the actual trader being evaluated.
