At TraderSafe, we enforce a minimum hold time rule on trades. This policy is designed to promote fair trading practices and ensure proper risk management across all trader accounts.

What is the Rule?

All profitable trades must be held for a minimum of at least 5 minutes before they are closed. This includes, closing manually, partially, achieving take profit, stop loss (if set in profit) etc. If the trade has been closed in under 5 minutes and it achieved a profit, it is in violation of this minimum hold time rule. The rule, also referred to as the 'Tick Scalping Rule,' requires that trades be held for five full minutes or longer to meet compliance. It’s recommended to allow a buffer time before closing trades to account for potential platform timer discrepancies.

Examples

Compliant Profitable Trade

• A trader opens a EURUSD buy at 11:00:00 and closes at 11:06:20 in profit.

• Duration: 6 minutes 20 seconds

• Result: Trade is valid, profit is retained.

  • Non-Compliant Profitable Trade

    • A trader opens a GBPJPY sell at 15:30:10 and closes at 15:33:55 in profit.

    • Duration: 3 minutes 45 seconds

    • Result: Trade is non-compliant, profit is deducted.
