Is structured evaluation legal in India?

Structured evaluation refers to placing trades in a virtual environment where no real orders are sent to the exchange. This model is commonly used by prop firm platforms in India to evaluate participant behaviour without deploying real capital.

Legal Status of Evaluation-based Trading

In India, structured evaluation is permitted because it does not involve executing real trades, handling client funds, or offering investment advice. Platforms that use evaluation environments function as evaluation or skill-assessment systems rather than market intermediaries.

How Market Rush Uses Evaluation

Market Rush uses structured evaluation strictly as a way to evaluate participant behaviour under realistic conditions. Trades are placed using reference pricing, but no real capital is deployed in the market. This allows the platform to remain compliant while maintaining a realistic trading experience.

Participants should always distinguish between rules-based evaluation platforms and brokers or investment products. Market Rush does not act as a broker or offer financial advice.
