⚖️Anti-fraud policies and ethical trading: Maintaining integrity

Discover our measures against fraudulent practices, arbitrage, and copy trading.

Written by Support Team

At Impulse World, we are committed to maintaining a fair, transparent, and ethical trading environment for all our users. Our anti-fraud and ethical trading policies apply to all products, challenges, and accounts, and are designed to protect the integrity of our platform and fairness for all traders.

🚫 Anti-Arbitrage Policy

What Is Arbitrage?

Arbitrage, in the context of trading, refers to the practice of exploiting market inefficiencies or price differences between different markets, platforms, or providers to obtain profits with minimal or no risk.

Our Stance on Arbitrage

At Impulse World, we explicitly prohibit arbitrage and any other practice that could be considered abusive or non-speculative. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Trades with a duration of 1 minute and 30 seconds or less that generated a positive profit

  • Trading strategies that take advantage of price discrepancies between different markets, platforms, or providers

  • Use of bots or algorithms specifically designed for arbitrage

Our risk team constantly monitors trading activity to detect and prevent these practices. All trades that generated a positive profit with a duration of 1 minute and 30 seconds or less will be excluded.

⚖️ Consequences of Non-Compliance

If arbitrage or other prohibited practices are detected, the offending user's account will be permanently suspended. This measure is applied to protect the interests of our community and guarantee the integrity of the platform.

🔒 Hedging Policy

🤔 What Is Hedging?

In the context of trading, hedging refers to strategies used to reduce or eliminate the risk associated with a position in the market. This can involve taking opposite positions in the same asset or in correlated assets, whether within the same account or across different accounts.

🚫 Our Stance on Hedging

At Impulse World, we strictly prohibit the use of hedging, whether individual, group, or across different accounts. We consider that this practice can:

  • Hide real risks and divert from the essence of speculative trading

  • Complicate effective management and oversight of trading activities

  • Limit genuine profit opportunities for our traders

  • Introduce conflicts of interest and non-transparent practices

👀 Our risk team closely monitors trading activity to identify and prevent the use of hedging on our platform.

🔄 Copy Trading Policy

🤔 What Is Copy Trading?

Copy trading refers to the practice of automatically or manually copying other traders' trades. This involves replicating another individual's trading decisions without necessarily understanding the underlying logic or strategy.

🚫 Our Stance on Copy Trading

At Impulse World, copy trading is prohibited in all its forms, except when carried out exclusively through Pulse to Trade, the platform authorized by Impulse World for copying signals within a controlled environment.

Therefore, it is not permitted to use external copy trading systems, signal providers, signal groups, bots, EAs, copy software, coordination between traders, or any other mechanism that allows trades to be replicated outside of Pulse to Trade.

The use of Pulse to Trade will only be permitted for accounts that are in the funded phase. Accounts in the evaluation, challenge, demo phase, or any stage prior to funding must trade individually and independently, without using trade-copying mechanisms.

Pulse to Trade allows users to subscribe to traders, receive signals, decide whether they want to copy each trade, and set their own lot size according to their risk management. Responsibility for each copied trade always rests with the user who decides to execute it. To learn more about how Pulse to Trade works, users can consult the official account connection and signal copying guides. (Impulse World Help Center)

Any form of copy trading carried out outside of Pulse to Trade will be considered a breach of Impulse World's rules and may result in corrective measures in accordance with applicable internal policies.

💡 Rationale

This policy seeks to protect the integrity of the trading environment, promote the development of individual skills, and ensure that evaluations reflect each trader's own decisions.

During the evaluation phase, the goal is to validate the user's individual ability to trade, manage risk, and make market decisions independently. For this reason, copy trading is not permitted at that stage.

Pulse to Trade is the only authorized exception, as it provides access to signals within a system regulated by Impulse World, available only for funded accounts and under specific conditions of use. Outside of this environment, any copying of trades is considered contrary to the principles of ethical trading, transparency, and individual responsibility established by the company.
