Every account type on the Sky Links Capital website is ticked Scalping Allowed, and the FAQ says yes. The agreement lists scalping under market abuse, and its glossary counts any position you close inside five minutes as scalping.
Why this matters
Trade the way the website invites you to, and the firm can void those trades, close your positions and end your account. Its own academy teaches scalping as a strategy, so you would have no reason to think it was a breach.
Exhibit 1Every flagged clause gets its own number so you can point at this one. The number does not change, so a link to it keeps working.CriticalHow much this clause can cost you, in our reading. Critical can take your money or your profit. Warning can delay or limit it. Notice is simply worth knowing before you sign.Harder than usualHow ordinary this wording looks next to the contracts we read. This is our reading of the clause, not a count of other brokers.5The figure this clause puts a number on, taken from the broker's own words.
Improper Trading Strategies – Including, but not limited to, scalping, arbitrage, or transactions designed primarily to exploit technical inefficiencies, swap interest, or influence bid/offer prices.
What it costsThe same clause worked out on a round number, so you can see it in money or in days. It is an example, not a quotation.Close a gold position four minutes after opening it. Clause 10.36 is satisfied because you held it past three minutes, and the glossary still calls it scalping.
Our readingOur own comment on the clause, not the broker's words. Anything we quote is marked as a quotation.Restrictions on very short term trading are common. Advertising the practice as permitted on every account, then defining it as market abuse in the contract, is not.
- Worse together with Exhibit 9Read these two clauses together. Each one costs more because the other exists.One clause decides your trading was abusive, the other lets the firm keep the profit it made.
