📘 What Is Account Rolling or Churning?

Account rolling (aka "churning") is the act of acquiring multiple evaluation accounts within a short time and intentionally allowing some to fail while focusing on passing others. This tactic misrepresents a trader’s intent, skill, and strategy — violating the spirit of fair trading evaluations.

At TopTier Trader, this practice is strictly prohibited.


🚨 Triggers & Red Flags

⚠️ Behavior

📌 Description

Rapid Acquisition

Signing up for many evaluations in a short period.

Deliberate Failures

Letting some accounts fail to focus solely on others.

Inconsistent Patterns

Trading strategies vary drastically between accounts.

No Trading Strategy

Using random, opportunistic trades without a plan.


🔍 Real-World Examples

  • Rapid Acquisition: A trader registers for 5 accounts in one week.

  • Selective Management: One account is ignored while another is passed.

  • Inconsistent Trading: Different strategies used on each account with no consistency.

  • Ad-hoc Strategy: No structured plan, just trial and error across accounts.


⚖️ Why It Matters

Account rolling:

  • Undermines fair competition

  • Damages trader credibility

  • Violates TopTier’s evaluation standards

Traders found churning may face:

  • ❌ Rejected payouts

  • ⚠️ Account strikes

  • 🚫 Bans from the platform


✅ Final Word
