Account Closure Based on Disputable Interpretation of Rules

My $10,000 Performance account with TickTickTrader was closed following an internal audit, based on reasons that appear inconsistent with the terms and conditions provided at the time of account activation.

1. Account duration (180 days)
I was informed that my account exceeded a 180-day maximum lifespan, presented as grounds for closure.
However, in the documentation available at registration, the 180-day period was described as the initial account duration, not as a maximum limit triggering automatic termination.
No explicit clause clearly stated that a Performance account would be closed solely for exceeding this timeframe.

2. Allegation of “flipping” / trading regularity
The audit report claims a recurring practice of “flipping,” defined as opening and closing positions rapidly to meet activity requirements.
However:
• no precise or measurable definition of “flipping” (minimum holding time, frequency thresholds, or quantitative limits) is clearly specified in the publicly available rules;
• my trading history includes multiple positions held over extended periods, which contradicts the assertion of a systematic abusive trading pattern;
• the assessment appears to rely on a subjective, retroactive interpretation rather than on predefined, objective criteria.

3. Audit process and lack of effective recourse
The account was closed following a unilateral manual audit, without a transparent adversarial process, and without a meaningful opportunity to provide clarification or defense prior to the final decision.

Conclusion
This experience highlights:
• ambiguous and insufficiently defined rules,
• retroactive enforcement of interpretations,
• and a material risk of discretionary account closure, even in the absence of a clearly demonstrated rule violation.

I strongly encourage traders to carefully assess this level of regulatory and procedural uncertainty before engaging with this firm.
