Land-FX restricts "Arbitrage" trading method on MT4
Following the rule by brokers is mandatory.
Arbitrage is a trading method which is not allowed by most of the brokers.
Please note that Land-FX does not allow “Arbitrage” trading.
If any traders earn profits by abusing the bonuses or trading “Arbitrage”, the profits may be cancelled upon withdrawals.
Arbitrage is not trading
“Arbitrage” is one thing that can not be done with any brokers.
Normally, brokers prohibits “Arbitrage” because it is not a trade taking risks but abusing the service itself.
Even the true STP brokers may prohibit this trading method.
What is Arbitrage?
There are some types of “Arbitrage” trading though, mainly it is traded by using bonus promotion or swaps.
1. Hedging positions between accounts with different brokers.
You can not even hedge positions between accounts with different name registered.
It is easy to find if you have hedged positions with different accounts for brokers, so you may want to not try this trading method.
2. Abusing Bonus Promotions
Just like other brokers, Land-FX will look into your trading history if you have used any of its bonuses.
And if you have traded “Arbitrage” by using the bonuses, the profits earned by that will be cancelled.
Withdrawal refusals/Profit nullification
There are so many complains against brokers that their profits are cancelled or couldn’t withdraw soon but took a month or more.
The reason the brokers cancel the profits are because you have violated the conditions you have signed when opening accounts, and you are strongly recommended to read the T&C provided before start trading.
If you are planning to trade on bonuses and hedge positions and make some profits without risks, you may not want to do that as it will just waste your time at last.
