📌 Practices considered toxic

- Gambling behavior: acting impulsively, chasing losses without rational analysis.
- Excessive trading: entering and exiting without a defined strategy, leading to emotional exhaustion.
- Tick scalping and HFT: taking advantage of slight movements in milliseconds.
- Arbitrage: latency, hedging, or opposing positions between companies.
- Reverse risk patterns: risking the daily loss in a single transaction.
- In Master accounts, no trade may exceed 3% of the account size, and splitting an entry into several positions is considered as one.
