Transparent rules. Clear boundaries. Fair evaluation.
These rules apply during the challenge and on funded accounts. Everything not listed here, including bots, APIs and AI tools, is allowed within your equity limits.
Forbidden Trading Practices
Exploiting technical issues
Taking advantage of platform bugs, delays, price-feed errors, execution glitches or display inaccuracies, intentionally or not.
Hedging across accounts
Opening opposite positions on the same asset, including different markets that track the same asset, across two or more of your challenges or the accounts of related traders. Long and short positions in different assets are allowed.
External hedging
Opening opposite positions on the same asset on another exchange, DEX or prop firm to hedge your Carrot positions.
Short holding times
Profits from positions held under 15 seconds do not count; losses do. Repeatedly using such trades to exploit price-feed or execution delays is forbidden.
Manipulative or coordinated trading
Collusion or manipulation, including coordinating trades across related accounts, sharing strategies to game evaluation rules, or distorting performance metrics.
Personal use
Accounts are for personal use only. You may not trade for others, offer account management, allow third-party access, or let someone else complete identity verification for you. Violations end the account and forfeit payouts.
Compliance. Breaking these rules can lead to trade removal, restricted access, a failed evaluation, forfeited payouts or account termination. CarrotFunding decides using the available data and records, acting reasonably and in good faith.
