Effectively none. As of August 2026, no major forex or CFD prop firm openly permits arbitragem de latência. FTMO, FundedNext, The5ers, FundingPips, E8 Markets and FXIFY all prohibit or restrict arbitrage, latency trading, high-frequency trading, and cross-account hedging in their published rules, closing both the one-leg and the two-account setups. Most still allow ordinary Expert Advisors and scalping, so the ban is specific to latency and feed-exploitation strategies, not automation in general. If your goal is arbitrage with a clean payout, a broker that permits it is the right venue, not a prop firm.
This is the summary page for a question traders ask about firm after firm: which casas de trading de prop trading allow arbitragem? The honest, industry-wide answer is that the leading firms converge on the same position. They welcome most automated trading but draw a hard line at latency arbitrage, HFT and cross-account hedging, because those strategies extract value from platform pricing rather than from directional skill. Below is the current stance of six major firms side by side, with links to the detailed breakdowns.
Prop firm arbitrage rules compared (2026)
Status reflects each firm’s published rules as of August 2026. Rules change often, so verify before funding a challenge.
| Prop firm | Arbitrage / latency | HFT | Cross-account hedging | EAs (non-arbitrage) | Veredicto |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FTMO | Proibido | Proibido | Restrito | Permitido | Not allowed |
| FundedNext | Estritamente proibido | Restrito | Proibido | Allowed (non-arb) | Not allowed |
| The5ers | Prohibited (incl. reverse) | Proibido | Prohibited (hedge arb) | Allowed (non-arb) | Not allowed |
| FundingPips | Prohibited (explicit) | Proibido | Proibido | Personal EAs w/ proof | Not allowed |
| E8 Mercados | No explicit clause * | Restricted (short-hold cap) | Estritamente proibido | Allowed (no shared EAs) | Effectively no * |
| FXIFY | Prohibited (explicit) | Proibido | Prohibited (reverse/group) | Allowed except HFT/latency | Not allowed |
* E8 Markets does not name “arbitrage” directly, but bans holding more than 50% of trades under one minute and strictly prohibits cross-account hedging, which together rule out the standard latency and 2-legs setups. Treat it as effectively closed to arbitrage.
The pattern is the same across the wider field. The live Rastreador de Regras de Prop Firm monitors 20+ firms (adding E8, Topstep, Apex, FundingPips and others) and, at the time of writing, none of the monitored forex firms carries an open permission for latency arbitrage.
What each firm’s rules say
FTMO – not allowed
FTMO allows Expert Advisors and scalping without pre-approval but lists HFT and latency arbitrage as prohibited, targeting strategies that exploit platform inefficiencies. Breaches can void trades and deny the linked payout. Full detail: does FTMO allow arbitrage?
FundedNext – not allowed
FundedNext is one of the clearest cases: its rules list arbitrage and latency trading as strictly prohibited, restrict HFT, and ban hedging across accounts (hedging is allowed only within one account). That closes both the one-leg and the two-account approach. Full detail: does FundedNext allow arbitrage?
The5ers – not allowed
The5ers has the most detailed ban, naming arbitrage, reverse arbitrage, arbitragem de hedge across accounts, HFT, and strategies that exploit price-feed or latency errors, even unintentionally. Full detail: does The5ers allow arbitrage?
FundingPips – not allowed
FundingPips explicitly prohibits arbitrage, latency arbitrage, high-frequency trading, tick scalping, long-short and reverse arbitrage, and coordinated hedging across accounts. Third-party full-automation bots are also restricted; personal EAs are allowed with proof of ownership. In short, every arbitrage configuration is named.
E8 Markets – effectively no
E8 Markets does not use the word “arbitrage,” but it caps short-hold trading (no more than half your trades held under one minute), strictly prohibits hedging across multiple accounts, and requires that EAs not be shared across users. Those rules together make the standard latency and 2-legs setups non-compliant, even without an explicit arbitrage clause.
FXIFY – not allowed
FXIFY is unusually direct: it allows EAs “except HFT / latency arbitrage.” Its prohibited list defines latency arbitrage as exploiting delays between price updates, bans HFT, and restricts reverse and group hedging across accounts, with account termination and voided profits as the stated consequence.
Why prop firms ban arbitrage
The convergence is not a coincidence. A prop firm runs an evaluation to measure trading skill on simulated or firm capital. Latency arbitrage produces profit from a price-feed delay rather than a directional view, so from the firm’s perspective it extracts value from the platform instead of demonstrating skill. Cross-account hedging is banned for a related reason: opening opposite positions across accounts manufactures a low-risk outcome that the evaluation is not designed to reward. Both sit in the same category as tick scalping and server-execution exploits on most rulebooks.
How firms detect it
Every firm reviews accounts before releasing a payout, and latency arbitrage leaves the same behavioural fingerprints regardless of platform, connection, or firm:
- High win rate at very short duração das detenções
- Entries clustered within milliseconds of a move on the reference market
- Abnormal Fator de lucro on a single instrument with low drawdown
- For cross-account hedging, correlated opposite positions opened simultaneously across accounts
Because these are patterns in the trades themselves, changing how you connect does not hide them. See Por que as corretoras de opções negam pagamentos para a taxonomia completa.
What this means for arbitrage traders
If your objective is arbitrage with a clean payout path, the practical conclusion is straightforward: use a broker that permits it rather than a prop firm that bans it.
- Trade arbitrage at an arbitrage-friendly broker. Ver corretoras que permitem arbitragem, plus RoboForex e Mercados de CI.
- If you want a funded account, run a strategy the firm permits (standard EAs, swing, breakout, scalping within the news window) rather than a prohibited arbitrage strategy.
- Verify before you pay. Check each firm’s current terms and the live Rastreador de Regras de Prop Firm.
The platform ships a 2-legs latency 3 module designed to be compatible with common prop-firm rule sets, but compatibility is not a guarantee of compliance with any specific firm, and running it where a firm prohibits latency strategies is at your own risk. Compliance is the trader’s responsibility; read the firm’s terms first.
Perguntas frequentes
Qual empresa de prop permite arbitragem?
Até agosto de 2026, nenhuma das principais empresas de prop trading permite abertamente o arbitrage de latência. A FTMO, a FundedNext, a The5ers, a FundingPips, a E8 Markets e a FXIFY proíbem ou efetivamente bloqueiam o arbitrage, o HFT e a cobertura cruzada de contas. Em relação ao arbitrage especificamente, um corretor compatível com o mesmo é o local certo.
As empresas de efeitos especiais permitem arbitragem de latência?
Not among the leading forex firms. Latency arbitrage exploits a price-feed delay, which prop firms treat as platform exploitation rather than trading skill, so it appears on prohibited lists across the industry. Always check the specific firm’s current terms, since rules change.
Posso realizar arbitragem de hedge de duas posições em duas contas de prop?
Não. No. FundedNext, The5ers, FundingPips, E8 Markets e FXIFY proíbem o hedging entre várias contas. Abrir posições opostas em duas contas para garantir um resultado com baixo risco é especificamente considerada uma prática proibida.
As empresas de corretagem permitem o uso de Expert Advisors?
A maioria sim, para estratégias comuns. A FTMO, a FXIFY e outras permitem EAs, excluindo especificamente o HFT e o arbitrage de latência. A FundingPips restringe os bots de automação completa de terceiros, mas permite EAs pessoais com prova de propriedade. A proibição se refere ao arbitragem, não à automação como um todo.
Onde posso fazer arbitragem de mercado em vez de com uma empresa de corretagem?
Em um corretor que permite isso. Alguns corretores permitem explicitamente arbitragem em tipos específicos de conta. Consulte o guia sobre corretores que permitem arbitragem e verifique os termos do conta corrente por escrito antes de fazer o depósito.

Resumo
As of August 2026, no major forex prop firm openly allows latency arbitrage. FTMO, FundedNext, The5ers, FundingPips, E8 Markets and FXIFY all prohibit or effectively block arbitrage, HFT and cross-account hedging, which shuts down both the one-leg and the two-account setups, while still permitting ordinary EAs and scalping. Breaches surface at payout review and risk voided trades and denied payouts. If arbitrage is the goal, trade it at a broker that permits it, and verify each firm’s current terms before funding, since prop firms revise rules frequently.
