16. Hedging Policy: Guidelines and Prohibitions
In adherence to the Impulsemicrostrategy Client Agreement, our hedging policy is established to provide clear directives and prohibitions regarding hedging activities within our trading environment. Hedging, the practice of maintaining both long and short positions on the same financial instrument concurrently, is permitted as a trading strategy for clients. This approach offers investors flexibility in managing their investment portfolios and mitigating market risks effectively. However, it is imperative for clients to recognize that hedging with the intent of exploiting price discrepancies or engaging in spread arbitrage is strictly forbidden within our trading ecosystem. Any attempt to do so undermines market integrity and may lead to the immediate closure of the client's account.
Moreover, clients are explicitly advised against participating in hedging activities across multiple Impulsemicrostrategy accounts or with other similar evaluation firms. Group hedging, the practice of executing opposing trades on the same asset across multiple accounts simultaneously, is expressly prohibited within our trading environment. While this tactic may seek to capitalize on price fluctuations while minimizing market risk, it conflicts with our commitment to fair and transparent trading practices. Therefore, clients are urged to comply with these guidelines to uphold a level playing field for all participants and preserve the integrity of our trading ecosystem.
In accordance with the Impulsemicrostrategy Client Agreement, adherence to the established hedging policy is essential for maintaining a fair and transparent trading environment. Any violations of these guidelines will be subject to stringent disciplinary actions, including the potential closure of the client's account. We encourage all clients to familiarize themselves with our hedging policy and adhere to its provisions to ensure compliance with regulatory standards and uphold the integrity of our trading platform.
17. Prohibition of Latency Trading in Impulsemicrostrategy Client Agreement
The Impulsemicrostrategy Client Agreement unequivocally prohibits latency trading, an act that exploits delays in trade execution to gain unfair advantages in the market. Recognizing that such practices undermine the fundamental principles of fair and transparent trading, Impulsemicrostrategy strictly prohibits any activities associated with latency trading within its trading environment. This includes trading on delayed charts and the utilization of delayed data feeds, which provide traders with an unfair advantage over others. By engaging in latency trading, traders create artificial buying or selling pressure, distorting market prices and disrupting the natural balance of supply and demand.
Impulsemicrostrategy is steadfast in its commitment to maintaining a level playing field for all traders and upholding the integrity of financial markets. Any violation of the prohibition on latency trading outlined in the Client Agreement will be met with stringent disciplinary measures. These measures may include account termination and legal action to ensure compliance and preserve market fairness. Through these actions, Impulsemicrostrategy reaffirms its dedication to transparency, fairness, and trustworthiness in the financial markets.
Furthermore, Impulsemicrostrategy continually monitors trading activities to detect and prevent any attempts at latency trading or other unfair practices. Our dedicated team of compliance professionals employs advanced monitoring tools and surveillance techniques to ensure that all trading activities adhere to the highest standards of integrity and compliance. Additionally, we provide ongoing education and training to our clients to raise awareness about the risks associated with latency trading and the importance of ethical trading practices. By fostering a culture of compliance and ethical conduct, Impulsemicrostrategy aims to promote a fair and transparent trading environment where all participants can trade with confidence and trust in the integrity of the market.
