The 5-Second Rule

Modified on Tue, 4 Aug at 11:48 PM

All trades must remain open for at least five full seconds before they are closed.

This rule applies to every trade, including trades placed during news events. News trading is permitted, but the five-second minimum holding time still applies.


What Happens If a Trade Is Closed Too Early?


If you close a trade before five full seconds have passed:

  • Profitable trade: The profit will not be counted toward your account balance.

  • Losing trade: The loss will be applied to your account balance.

Your account will remain active, and no additional penalty will be issued.


How Will the Trade Appear in Your History?


Any trade that does not meet the five-second minimum holding time will be marked with a warning triangle next to the corresponding entry in your trade history. This symbol indicates that the trade did not comply with the rule.

To ensure that your trade is valid, always wait at least five full seconds before closing it.
