Use case

Separate gamification from genuine trading.

Some traders treat a simulated account like a lottery ticket. Rubi measures sizing, recovery patterns and rule breaches from real trades, then asks the trader to explain their risk plan in their own words.

01The problem

A lottery ticket dressed as a strategy.

Gamification means treating the account as a bet rather than a business: all in sizing, doubling down after losses, gambling on outliers or trading around the rules. A bad trader is not a cheater, so the real work is telling the two apart.

  • 01

    Oversized ideas

    Positions far too large for the balance, and a result that rests on one or two outlier wins.

  • 02

    Doubling down

    Entries layered against a losing position, or size that climbs after every loss.

  • 03

    Risk that does not add up

    Realized risk to reward far below what the trader claims to target.

  • 04

    Rules as the strategy

    Hard and soft rule breaches, rollover games and trading shaped around the challenge.

02How Rubi checks it

Risk measured, then explained.

  1. 1

    Measure the risk

    Sizing, layered entries, realized risk to reward and rule breaches are computed from synced trades. Hard breaches set a floor the AI cannot lower.

  2. 2

    Ask for the plan

    The interviewer asks how the trader sizes risk, their daily limit and their usual risk to reward, then confronts gaps with their own numbers.

  3. 3

    Tell weak from reckless

    A trader with poor skill and no forbidden behavior is not flagged as a gambler. Gamification is raised when the data and the answers point the same way.

FAQ

Gamification, answered.

What is gamification in a prop firm account?

Treating a simulated account as a lottery ticket instead of a business: all in sizing, martingale or grid recovery, gambling on outliers, or trading around the rules instead of a repeatable method.

How does Rubi tell a bad trader from a gambler?

A weak but honest trader is not a cheater. Rubi separates poor skill from forbidden behavior and raises gamification only when sizing, recovery patterns or breaches converge with what the trader says.

What trading data does Rubi need?

Trades from Axcera, your own read only API or a CSV or XLSX upload. Without data Rubi still interviews the trader, and the report states plainly what it could not check.
