Risk & Compliance Guidelines: FAQ

The Tradeify Risk & Compliance Guidelines (the "Guidelines") describe the standards, review procedures, prohibited activities, and enforcement measures Tradeify uses to protect the security, integrity, and proper operation of its services and trading programs. This FAQ walks through each part of the Guidelines in question-and-answer form.

Guidelines last updated: September 15, 2026

⚠️ Important: The examples in these Guidelines illustrate conduct that may trigger Risk or Compliance review. They are non-exhaustive and do not limit Tradeify's rights under the Tradeify Agreements and Policies. Where a more specific rule or policy applies, that document controls. Prior approval at any stage never precludes further review.

These Guidelines supplement Tradeify's Terms of Use, applicable Evaluation Services Agreement or Funded Trader Agreement, trading rules, payout policies, KYC/AML requirements, Restricted Countries policy, and other applicable Tradeify Agreements and Policies (collectively, the "Tradeify Agreements and Policies").

By accessing or using Tradeify's services, you are responsible for understanding and complying with all requirements applicable to your account.

Tradeify maintains Risk and Compliance controls to:

These controls may operate at any stage of the customer relationship — registration, purchase, activation, KYC/KYB verification, trading, progression, payout, transition to Live trading, or otherwise. Prior approval at any stage never precludes further review.

Tradeify may initiate a review when information, activity, or circumstances raise legitimate identity, fraud, account-integrity, trading-integrity, payment, geographic, or compliance concerns. Relevant information may include:

Tradeify may request further information or documentation as needed.

No. A review's existence does not itself imply a violation occurred.

Not every review results in enforcement — Tradeify may close a review without action.

The examples below are illustrative, not a complete list.

Identity and verification:

Multiple profiles and account ownership:

A new email or profile does not create a new identity or new eligibility.

Yes. Users must cooperate with legitimate reviews and provide requested information within the required timeframe; failure to do so may result in restriction, denial, or closure.

Submitting false, altered, or third-party information is itself a violation. Repeated submission of the same documentation does not create a right to reopen a final determination.

Depending on the circumstances and the remedies available under the governing agreement, Tradeify may:

Tradeify may request additional information where it could reasonably resolve an issue, but not every determination is eligible for reconsideration.

Where Tradeify communicates a determination as final, additional documents, new accounts, new emails, or repeated support requests do not create a right to a new review. This does not limit any rights a user may have under applicable law or the governing Agreements.

To protect the effectiveness of its fraud-prevention, security, and compliance functions, Tradeify may decline to disclose internal risk indicators, detection methods, security signals, monitoring technologies, thresholds, scoring methodologies, account-linking logic, investigative techniques, or other proprietary or security-sensitive information.

A request for such information does not obligate disclosure. Tradeify may still provide the general basis or applicable policy category for an enforcement action.

Except where a specific rule provides otherwise, no single document, device, IP, trade, payment method, or verification result independently determines an outcome.

Successful completion of one verification step also does not establish compliance with every other requirement. For example, identity verification alone does not establish ownership, trading independence, geographic eligibility, or payment compliance. Tradeify evaluates relevant information collectively.

No. Each trader must personally own, control, verify, and operate their account. Prohibited conduct includes:

Family, business, or employment relationships — or the other party's permission — do not authorize account or identity sharing.

Tradeify may require KYC, KYB, AML, identity, residency, payment, or other verification at any stage of participation, including through Tradeify's authorized third-party verification and payments providers.

Users must submit authentic, valid, accurate, current, and unaltered information belonging to the person or entity being verified. Tradeify may require:

Submitting documentation does not guarantee approval, and prior verification does not preclude re-verification. Attempts to falsify, manipulate, substitute, or circumvent verification may result in restriction or termination.

For details on the verification process, see our KYC and AML Policy.

Yes. Access may be restricted based on geographic, residency, legal, sanctions, or third-party requirements. Users are responsible for truthful residency information. Review may be triggered by:

Check the current Restricted Countries list rather than assuming that citizenship, travel, or possession of a document independently establishes eligibility.

A shared network or ordinary device change is not, alone, a violation. Shared households, networks, workplaces, or devices do not, by themselves, establish a violation.

Tradeify may use device, network, and session data to protect accounts and identify violations. Review may follow where access methods appear designed to conceal true ownership, operate others' accounts, evade limits or restrictions, interfere with verification, or bypass Tradeify's controls — including through prohibited virtualization, remote-access, anonymization, or circumvention technologies.

Users remain responsible for complying with individual, household, ownership, identity, and trading requirements, and Tradeify may request clarifying information where a legitimate association requires it.

Yes. Services are available only to those meeting applicable age and legal-capacity requirements. Misrepresenting age, or allowing an underage person to use an eligible adult's identity, is prohibited. Prior participation or payouts do not waive eligibility requirements.

Except where expressly permitted, traders may not coordinate trading with others in a prohibited manner, including:

Tradeify may review activity across accounts to assess independence and compliance. Trade similarity alone does not establish coordination — Tradeify evaluates the totality of circumstances.

Where prohibited, traders may not use multiple accounts, products, contract sizes or months, or third parties to create opposing exposure. A prohibited-hedging determination applies regardless of profit or loss, account count, contract terms, or the trader's characterization of the activity.

For the full hedging rule, see Hedging & Correlated Products.

Automated trading is permitted only as expressly allowed, and traders remain fully responsible for its activity. Review may follow:

No trading technology exempts a trader from any Tradeify rule.

Traders may not knowingly exploit errors, vulnerabilities, delays, pricing discrepancies, or platform behavior for improper advantage. This includes:

A platform's technical permissiveness does not make an action compliant.

Prohibited conduct includes:

Tradeify evaluates overall pattern, not individual trades in isolation.

Payment methods must be legitimate and authorized. Review may follow:

A chargeback or dispute does not itself determine contractual rights. Tradeify may require resolution of outstanding obligations before restoring eligibility, where permitted.

See also our Chargeback Policy.

Yes. Payouts are subject to Tradeify's payout rules and Compliance review, before or after processing, where eligibility, identity, ownership, trading, payment, or compliance questions arise. This includes:

Submitting a payout request does not guarantee approval; all applicable requirements must be satisfied before a payout becomes payable under the governing agreement.

Tradeify's identity-verification, payment, payout, trading, and security services rely in part on third-party providers, each of which may apply its own review standards.

Approval by one provider does not require or guarantee approval by Tradeify, or vice versa, and inability to use one provider does not establish eligibility for an alternative.

Circumvention is an independent violation, including:

Restrictions apply at the user level — not limited to a specific email, account, device, payment method, or platform account.

Serious or repeated violations may result in a permanent, user-level restriction — not limited to the specific account, email, device, or payment method involved. Qualifying conduct includes:

Where a permanent restriction is imposed, creating or using additional accounts is further circumvention and does not restore eligibility.

No. These Guidelines are illustrative. Conduct does not become permissible merely because the specific method is not listed; Tradeify may act on any conduct violating the Tradeify Agreements and Policies.

These Guidelines explain Tradeify's Risk and Compliance framework and do not independently expand any trader's payout entitlement, account eligibility, or contractual rights beyond the governing agreement. Where a more specific rule or policy applies, that document controls.

Yes. Tradeify may update these Guidelines to reflect changes in its services, programs, security requirements, compliance framework, applicable law, third-party requirements, or emerging abuse patterns. Users are responsible for reviewing the current version. All policies and guidelines are dated to comply with update disclosures.
