Your registration was cancelled after your EAs testing report review (and before Chamionship start) - too many deals (more than 375 deals per day). It violates rule III.7 "never use scalping"

Please reevaluate - I have a multi-currency EA and I use one deal to close a position, and one deal to open a new position in the opposite direction at the same price. So if you take 5 currencies and the fact that I am taking two deals to close and open in opposite direction, then it is only (375/2) / 5 = 37 positions a day per currency pair. I could have submitted (1) a single currency EA and (2) a EA that closes and openes a position in the opposite direction in one trade if I knew that hidden rule in advance. I carefully evaluated my EA on the 25% "scalping" rule and it does not violate it. If I knew the rules would be different in advance, I would have simply changed my EA.
