UZO permits copy trading from another UZO account, a third-party trading platform, or a retail broker, provided the accounts all belong to the same individual. In other words, you may replicate trades from any account or accounts that you personally own.

Copying trades between accounts owned by different individuals, including relatives, family members or friends, is strictly prohibited.

Copy trading between different people, account management and 'pass your challenge' services are strictly prohibited. You are expected to trade independently.

Expert advisors, trading bots and automated tools are permitted where they represent a genuine, distinctive and responsible strategy that follows our trading rules, and where they run only on accounts you personally own. Each must use settings distinctive to your own trading, not a configuration shared with other traders. You remain fully responsible for all activity on your account, including trades placed by an expert advisor.

The use of emulators is strictly prohibited. Equally prohibited is any automation used to abuse the simulated environment, copy other traders, run a configuration identical to other traders, or exploit technical inefficiencies.

Automation is permitted. Abuse is not.

Hedging is prohibited at UZO, even when conducted within a single account.

Hedging or group hedging across multiple accounts is a strategy in which an individual or group opens several accounts and places opposing trades on the same asset across all of them. The aim is to exploit price movements whilst stripping out market risk. It does not reflect authentic trading and is not permitted.

High-frequency trading is a sophisticated strategy characterised by the rapid execution of a large number of trades within extremely short timeframes, often measured in milliseconds. It relies on advanced algorithms and high-speed networks to exploit minimal price movements and market inefficiencies.

Whilst it may generate quick profits, the speed and volume of transactions can add to market volatility and raise concerns about market integrity and fairness. High-frequency trading is therefore prohibited at UZO.

The Quick Strike Method is a high-speed strategy in which a trader exploits short-lived market movements by placing numerous trades in a brief period. Positions are typically held for only seconds or minutes, aiming to profit from small, immediate price fluctuations.

Such trading can amplify volatility and produce artificial price changes that mislead other traders and distort market conditions. For that reason the Quick Strike Method is prohibited at UZO.

Latency trading involves placing trades that exploit delayed market data, or delays in trade execution, to secure near-certain profit. At UZO we strictly prohibit latency trading, as it runs contrary to fair trading practice in financial markets.

Account management services that promise to 'pass your challenge' are prohibited. Such services trade another person's evaluation account with the aim of passing the evaluation and securing a funded account on their behalf, in exchange for a share of the profits. This sits within the highest tier of severity and results in a permanent ban from all UZO services.

Arbitrage is the practice of exploiting price differences or timing disparities across markets or platforms to secure risk-free profit. At UZO, any form of arbitrage is expressly forbidden, given its nature and its potential to disrupt fair market conditions.

Passing a phase on a single trade, or on an unreasonably small number of trades, is strictly prohibited. It does not reflect consistent or genuine trading and is treated as system exploitation under the UZO Terms and Conditions.

This includes, but is not limited to:

Any account found to have passed a phase in this way will be disqualified, with no eligibility for a funded account or withdrawal. Repeated violations may result in a permanent ban from all UZO services.

This rule preserves the standards of integrity, transparency and professionalism that keep the environment fair and credible for every trader.

Tick scalping is a strategy that involves very quick trades to profit from small price movements, typically within seconds to minutes. Traders focus on 'ticks', the smallest possible price movement in an instrument, and aim to accumulate small profits repeatedly through the session. It demands high concentration and fast execution, and positions are closed as soon as a small profit target is reached, or exited quickly to limit losses. At UZO, tick scalping is restricted owing to its potential for market manipulation and disruptive trading.

Trades with an average holding time below 2 minutes are likely to be treated as tick scalping, particularly where they consistently target minimal price movements. Such behaviour may constitute a breach of our Terms and Conditions.

Grid trading places buy and sell orders at set intervals (a 'grid') above and below a chosen price level, seeking to profit from natural volatility without predicting direction. As the price fluctuates, orders are triggered and multiple positions are opened. At UZO, grid trading is not permitted, owing to concerns around market manipulation, over-leveraging, instability and the pursuit of risk-free profit.

Account sharing involves the unauthorised sharing or resale of UZO accounts to other individuals or entities. This is a clear breach of the UZO Terms and Conditions and is strictly forbidden. We maintain a zero-tolerance approach to account sharing for reasons of security, fairness and compliance.

Hyperactivity denotes an elevated level of trading activity, in which a trader executes trades frequently and rapidly within a short timeframe. This covers not only the high frequency of execution but also frequent adjustments to orders, such as modifying stop-loss or take-profit levels and updating limit orders.

We classify an account as hyperactive when it exceeds 200 trades and generates more than 2,000 order operations or server messages in a single day. This tally includes messages relating to frequent order modifications, such as adjusting stop-loss or take-profit levels and updating limit orders.

Taking any unfair advantage, including platform or data freezing arising from demo-server errors, is strictly forbidden. This preserves an equitable environment for all traders and prevents deceptive practice. Traders found engaging in such behaviour will be investigated, and corrective action, up to and including revocation of access to our demo servers, may follow. Should a server issue arise, we would ask that you report it promptly to the UZO support team at [email protected].

The Martingale strategy involves doubling your position after each loss, on the assumption that an eventual win recovers all prior losses and produces a simulated profit. Regarded as a form of gambling, it is highly risky and can lead to substantial simulated drawdowns and the simulated loss of all capital during a prolonged run of losses. Martingale trading is prohibited at UZO.

One-sided bets are a strategy in which a trader consistently opens positions in the same direction, either across the whole account or on a specific asset, disregarding market conditions, analysis or technical signals.

This demonstrates a lack of balanced trading judgement and is treated as a breach of fair trading practice.

Examples:

You are expected to adapt to market movements and to take both long and short positions when conditions justify it.

Persistent one-directional exposure, whether on a single symbol or across the entire portfolio, will be treated as a breach of the UZO trading rules.

Coordinated trading between individuals, whether as a group or a team, is prohibited. Opening or trading accounts in concert to share risk, mirror one another or split outcomes departs from genuine, independent trading and breaches our Terms and Conditions.

Trading on paid signal services, in which a third party dictates the trades placed on your account, is prohibited. You are expected to trade on your own judgement. Reliance on signal services sits within the highest tier of severity and results in a permanent ban from all UZO services.

Rapidly opening and closing contracts with no genuine market intent, in order to farm minimum trading days, is prohibited. Trading days are expected to reflect real activity, not positions placed and closed solely to satisfy a day count.

Deliberately holding or rolling positions across the daily reset in order to sidestep the daily drawdown limit is prohibited. The daily drawdown is measured on your equity, including any open or floating profit and loss, and it resets at 00:00 UTC. Positions must be managed on their own merits, not timed to evade a risk control.
