II. Types and Characteristics of Transactions With Stolen Credentials and Improper Matched Orders
1. Transactions with stolen credentials: In transactions with stolen credentials, the user uses a stolen account and account controlled by themselves to match orders. This behavior disrupts the trading order with the purpose of moving funds.
Improper matched orders between associated accounts: The act of transferring funds from the client's account to their own account by declaring the same price at the same time in two or more associated accounts, buying high and selling low in one account, resulting in obvious losses, or buying low and selling high, resulting in obvious profits, through prior planning with others.
3. The entrusted party transfers the funds of the entrusting party's account by means of improper matched orders: The entrusted party uses the entrusting party's account (as the counterparty) to conduct transactions with its own account, thereby transferring the funds of the entrusting party's account to its own account.
4. Identification of associated accounts: Accounts with similar signup time, same signup IP, same deposit and withdrawal addresses, etc.
III. Types and Characteristics of Wash Trading, Position Hedging, High-frequency Trading, Circular Trading, and Non-compliant Trading
1. Multiple associated accounts placing orders for the same ticker in the same direction with similar lot sizes at similar opening prices and similar closing prices in the same time period.
2. The same account or multiple associated accounts open and close positions for the same ticker in different directions with similar lot sizes in the same time period using manual or trigger orders.
3. Open and close positions within a short period of time (e.g. 5 minutes).
IV. Types of Futures Trading Violations and Penalties
a. Warning
1. Withdrawal will be restricted. KYC and a photo showing the user holding their ID card are required (withdrawal service will be resumed after completion).
b. Yellow card warning
1. Commissions will be deducted (Rectification: Resume normal trading volume and commissions will return to normal in 14 days).
2. Withdrawal will be restricted. KYC and verification through video conference are required (withdrawal service will be resumed after completion with a daily limit of 500 USDT).
3. The withdrawal restriction can be lifted upon request if no new warnings are received within 14 days and no new accounts are created.
c. Red card warning
1. Commissions will be deducted and no rectification will be permitted.
2. Withdrawal will be restricted. KYC and verification through video conference are required (withdrawal service will be resumed after completion with a daily limit of 100 USDT).
3. The withdrawal restriction can be lifted upon request if no new warnings are received within 14 days and no new accounts are created.
c. Black card warning
1. Commissions will be deducted and no rectification will be permitted.
2. Trading and withdrawal will be restricted. KYC and a photo showing the user holding their ID card are required.
3. Account restrictions can be lifted upon request if no new warnings are received within 14 days and no new accounts are created.
If a black card warning is issued again, the trading restriction will not be lifted and the withdrawal restriction will be extended for 1 – 6 months before the user can apply for restrictions to be lifted.
4. Transaction rollback will be performed within one or two business days.
For the above violations, if the violation is repeated during the disciplinary period or if other account transactions are created, the penalty period will be extended.
Other abnormal transactions include but are not limited to: using small-sized orders to extend the overall position holding time, using a large number of new accounts to conduct one-time trading for arbitrage, etc. Depending on the seriousness of the violation, the platform will suspend part or all of the commission for the user generated by the related accounts, and the access to these accounts.
V. Types of OTC Transactions Suspected of Money Laundering, Fraud, and Malicious Intent
1. The account is not used by the user, or is used to buy and sell digital currencies on behalf of others: When the user is detected by the risk control team to have sold, lent, leased, or entrusted the account to be used by others, or have bought and sold digital currencies on behalf of others, there exists suspicion of money laundering.
2. Receiving or introducing digital assets or funds from illegal sources: When a user knows or can infer with common sense that the assets or funds received on other platforms are illegally obtained crypto or illegal funds, but ignores the risks and let the illegal currency flow into the WEEX platform.
3. Risky transaction behaviors of not linking valid payment accounts consistent with one's KYC information or providing the buyer with a payment method that is inconsistent with the KYC information provided to WEEX.
4. Fraudulent behaviors of clicking "Paid" when the payment has not been made, making false transfer records, or providing false evidence to show that the payment has not been received after receiving the payment.
5. Frequent cancellation of orders, adding risk notes to payments, and malicious bidding for low-priced orders.
6. Other illegal trading activities.

WEEX will impose appropriate penalties on users who violate our requirements, such as warnings, termination of services, restrictions on accounts, rollback of abnormal transactions, etc.
