1. GAMBLING

You cannot use gambling strategies to pass the challenge phase. Anomaly defines gambling as follows:

• - Excessive Scalping: Holding 50% or more of your trades for less than a minute.
• - Martingale: Holding five positions simultaneously in drawdown on the same pair.
• - All In: Placing a trade in one direction with no risk management (i.e., no stop-loss), where the trade will either pass or fail the challenge in a single attempt.
• - Grid Trading: Placing multiple trades at predetermined intervals to create a grid-like structure, with no clear risk management strategy.

1.1 EXAMPLES:

- Excessive Scalping: A trader executes 60 trades, with 35 of them held for less than 45 seconds. This means more than 50% of their trades are categorized as excessive scalping.

- Martingale: A trader opens multiple long positions on the GBP/USD pair (e.g., Long GBP/USD at 1.3500, 1.3480, 1.3460, 1.3440) and then adds another long position (e.g., Long GBP/USD at 1.3470) while already having five positions in drawdown. This breaches the Martingale rule.

- All In: A trader opens a 2-lot position on USD/JPY without setting a stop-loss, and the position either results in passing the challenge or failing it in one single attempt. This method lacks proper risk management and trading skills.

- Grid Trading: A trader sets up a grid trading strategy by placing buy orders at intervals of 20 pips (e.g., buying AUD/USD at 0.6700, 0.6720, 0.6740) and sell orders at intervals of 20 pips (e.g., selling AUD/USD at 0.6680, 0.6660, 0.6640) without a clear risk management plan or exit strategy. This creates a grid of trades without appropriate risk management.
