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
Server spamming
Latency arbitrage
Toxic trading flow
Hedging, including opposite account trading
Long-short arbitrage
Reverse arbitrage
Server execution abuse
Device sharing or third-party account management (including EAs)
Bots or any form of automated/algorithmic trading
Simultaneous trading of mini and micro futures contracts of the same asset
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 5 seconds.
Accounts flagged for excessive microscalping will be reviewed manually by our team.
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.
