Preface
To maintain fairness and order in the digital asset trading environment, Tovest conducts continuous compliance and risk control monitoring on all trading activities. The platform identifies abnormal behaviors through multi-dimensional signals including registration info, login IP, device fingerprint, capital flow, and order rhythm. Once suspicious activity is identified, Tovest reserves the right to take immediate disposal measures. These measures may be revised at any time; continued use of services constitutes acceptance.
1 Definition of Abnormal Trading Behavior
- Trading/Position Abnormality: Intraday position or risk exposure exceeding platform threshold.
- Self-Trading / Cross-Matching: Same user or affiliated entity repeatedly trades the same asset to create false counterparty or fund transfer.
- Abnormal Hedging & AB Strategy: Disguised hedging for arbitrage and market manipulation.
- Wash Trading & Circular Transaction: Intensive opening/closing in short time or extending transaction chains via small orders.
- High-Frequency Program Abuse: Repeated operations beyond normal frequency with obvious risk evasion features.
- Affiliated Account Collusion: Accounts correlated by shared network, device, funding source, or behavioral synchronization.
- Behavior Convergence: Affiliated accounts open/close positions at unnaturally similar times and prices.
- Unauthorized Account Operation: Operating accounts on behalf of others.
- Arbitrage via Mark/Index Price or Settlement Time Loopholes.
- Other market-disrupting behaviors as judged by the platform.
2 Identification of Specific Violation Types
2.1 Account Hijacking & Cross-Matching
- Hijacked Trading: Illegally obtaining credentials to control accounts for fund transfer and market interference.
- Affiliate Cross-Matching: Multiple related accounts trade at similar time/price leading to profit and loss transfer.
- Entrusted Manipulation: Controlling others' accounts for interest transfer and regulatory evasion.
2.2 Wash Trading / High-Frequency Circular Trading
- Intensive opening/closing within 5 minutes with non-natural transaction distribution.
- Repeating profit cycles via AB account hedging with ultra-short position rhythm and rapid order modification.
- Creating false liquidity by repeated order placement and cancellation.
2.3 Affiliated Account Criteria
- Similar registration time and real-name information
- Consistent IP and network features
- Same device fingerprint and login habit
- Homogeneous capital source and flow
- Overlapping deposit and withdrawal addresses
- Synchronized trading and order rhythm
- Invitation and agency relationship

5 Strict Crackdown on Violation Trading & Account Disposal Rules
To protect the rights of genuine users and maintain a fair trading environment, Tovest strictly prohibits any user from exploiting platform activity rules for zero-risk arbitrage or maliciously extracting experience funds. Once the system's underlying risk control or manual review determines any of the following violations, the platform reserves the right to immediately freeze the relevant account, reclaim experience funds, deduct all illegally obtained profits, and permanently restrict withdrawals.
5.1 Match Trading / Wash Trading
- Strictly prohibited: using multiple accounts controlled by the same user, or colluding with other users, to open opposing positions of similar size on the same trading pair at the same or similar time — deliberately transferring losses from one account to another to extract platform bonuses or rebates.
5.2 Associated Trading (Batch Account Fraud)
- Strictly prohibited: coordinated cheating via batch-registered accounts. If the system detects high similarity or physical correlation among multiple accounts in IP address, device fingerprint, on-chain deposit/withdrawal addresses, or trading operation rhythm, all will be treated as an affiliated fraud network under a single controller. The entire group of accounts will face joint banning and asset freezing.
5.3 Cross-Platform Dual-Direction Hedging (AB Position Arbitrage)
- Strictly prohibited: using Tovest experience funds together with accounts on external exchanges to conduct cross-platform high-leverage two-way hedging (AB position arbitrage).
5.4 Withdrawal Final Review Authority
- When a user submits a withdrawal request (or undergoes KYC verification), the system risk engine will conduct an in-depth retrospective review of the account's historical order information. If profits are found to originate primarily from abnormal abandoned accounts or high-risk affiliated accounts, the platform reserves the right to reject the withdrawal and execute anti-fraud liquidation.
5.5 Market Anomaly Signals (Pair-Level Disposal Triggers)
- Price Discovery Anomaly: Transaction price deviates from the reasonable range in a short period, with persistent or severe divergence from the mark price / index price.
- Abnormal Transaction Concentration: A very small number of accounts / IPs contribute an abnormally high proportion of transactions and orders in an extremely short time, causing depth distortion.
- Liquidity Deterioration: The order book rapidly thins or repeatedly fails under non-natural factors, triggering unreasonable slippage and "induced fills."
- Funding Rate / Fee Settlement Timing Exploitation: Obvious time-point arbitrage and structurally repeated transactions at settlement times.
- Forced Volatility & Cascading Liquidation Risk: Market behavior that may trigger unnecessary liquidation chains or risk control cascades.
- Suspected System Parameter / Quotation Mechanism Exploitation: Including passive or active arbitrage targeting mark price, index price update mechanisms, or matching sequence.
5.6 Disposal Measures for Anomalous Pairs (Linked with Abnormal Account Disposal)
- Disposal measures for anomalous trading pairs are implemented in conjunction with the account-level penalty hierarchy described in Section 4. Confirmed manipulation may result in trading suspension, pair delisting, and rollback of abnormal transactions.
