Is Gap trading allowed?

Gap Trading is not allowed.

Gap Trading refers to opening trades shortly before a market closes in order to exploit potential price gaps after it reopens. This practice is strictly prohibited.

Not allowed:

  • Opening trades within 2 hours of market close when the market will remain closed for 2 or more hours.

  • Placing trades ahead of major news, earnings announcements, or global events that are likely to cause price gaps.

Example:


Opening a position 30 minutes before Friday’s market close with the intent to profit from a Monday market gap is prohibited.

Important:


Any trades opened less than 2 hours before a market’s closing time with the intention of exploiting expected price gaps will be considered a malicious practice. Such activity may result in account termination without compensation.
