Account Sharing
Account sharing refers to sharing or reselling your account with other individuals or entities without authorization. Sharing devices with other traders is prohibited, as it can cause trade data inconsistencies and make risk management impossible.
Example
- If two traders use the same account simultaneously, AIFO cannot verify the trader’s actual activity, and the account will be immediately closed.
After Violation: The account will be permanently closed
IP Monitoring
Frequent or unusual IP changes may indicate potential violations, such as frequent transactions by switching countries or regions via VPN, or multiple people logging into the same account from different locations.
Example
- If a trader frequently switches IPs between the US, UK, and Japan within a single day, AIFO may consider this as potential risk manipulation.
- If multiple accounts are being used from the same IP address to engage in prohibited activities (account management services, shared or controlled trading accounts), it will be deemed an account breach.
After Violation
First violation: Account frozen, trading disabled until trader provides a reasonable explanation
Second violation: Account closure if the explanation is unreasonable or inconsistent
Device Restriction
All trading must be performed on the trader’s personal device. Shared or public devices are prohibited due to security and accountability concerns.
Example
- If a trader operates an account on other devices without a reasonable explanation, the account will be directly closed once discovered.
After Violation: The account will be permanently closed
Gap Trading
Trading around significant global news, special macroeconomic events, or company reports may cause gap movements. Trading these instruments within 30minutes before market closes or event announcements is prohibited.
In the event of sudden special macro events and major news during the closed market period, the market may experience gap fluctuations when it opens. Since the operation of a trading account depends on real market liquidity, no trader can guarantee that orders will be executed directly. Mature traders will avoid conducting transactions in overly aggressive environments to prevent additional transaction costs and the consequences of irrational trading.
After such an incident occurs, AIFO will prohibit trading of the affected assets within 5 minutes of the market opening, and any transaction orders generated during the trading prohibition period will be deemed invalid.
Major News Event Trading
Trading restricted instruments 5 minutes before and after major news events is prohibited.
After Violation
First violation: Confiscate excess profits
Second violation: Account Closure
