TX3 Funding Forex enforces specific HFT thresholds to protect market integrity and ensure fair play. Any trading activity that meets or exceeds these thresholds within the defined rolling time windows will be flagged for review and may be treated as an HFT violation. Splitting large orders into multiple smaller executions within these timeframes can also result in being flagged.

---

HFT Thresholds (Violation Triggers)

The following thresholds are enforced using rolling time windows. If a trader executes trade counts at or above any of these levels within the corresponding time window, the activity will be flagged for potential violation:

These windows are rolling. For example, the system evaluates every second and counts the number of executions in the previous 3 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds, and 60 minutes respectively.

How Violations Are Detected

1. Execution telemetry The monitoring system logs order executions with timestamps and account identifiers.

2. Rolling-window counts For each account, the system maintains counters for the time windows listed above. When a counter meets or exceeds the specified threshold, an HFT flag is raised.

3. Splitting orders: Attempting to divide a large intended trade into multiple smaller executions within these windows can still trigger a violation.

4. Automated flagging plus manual review Flagged activity is subject to automated rules and then reviewed by the risk/compliance team to confirm intent, context, and whether the activity constitutes a policy breach.

Examples

Example A: 3 second threshold

• Trade at 12:00:00.000

• Trade at 12:00:01.800
  Result: 2 trades within 3 seconds → flagged under the 2 deals / 3 seconds rule.

Example B: 30 second threshold

• Trades at 09:00:05, 09:00:10, 09:00:12, 09:00:18, 09:00:28
  Result: 5 trades within a 30 second window → flagged under the 5 deals / 30 seconds rule.

Example C: 1 hour threshold

• 30 executions spread unevenly but all occurring within the same 60 minute rolling window → flagged under the 30 deals / 1 hour rule.

Example D: Splitting orders

• A trader intends to open a 10-lot position.

• Instead of sending one order, the trader submits 10 × 1-lot orders within 15 seconds.

Result: Although “small” individually, they breach thresholds and are flagged as HFT activity.

Important Notes and Limits

• These HFT thresholds are applied to execution counts only. The review may also consider order types, cancellations, fills, instrument mix, and other behaviors when determining intent.

• Use of automated trading systems is permitted on TX3 Funding Forex but remains subject to monitoring and these HFT parameters. Operating automated systems without proper safeguards increases the risk of a violation.

• TX3 Funding Forex may update thresholds, monitoring methods, or enforcement procedures.

• Confirmed HFT violations will lead to deductions from the account. Depending on severity, actions may include warnings, suspension, or disqualification from funded status.
