Rules
What trading strategies are prohibited?
Copy trading from third-party signals and hedging across multiple accounts are prohibited; everything not listed as prohibited is permitted.
Two things are prohibited: copy trading from third-party signals and hedging across multiple accounts. If a strategy is not on the prohibited list, it is permitted.
Why these two
Both defeat the purpose of the evaluation, which exists to measure your own decision-making.
Copy trading means the account is not demonstrating your judgement. If the signal provider is profitable, we have funded them by proxy without evaluating them; if not, the evaluation measured nothing.
Hedging across accounts means opening offsetting positions on two or more accounts so that one passes whatever the market does. This converts the evaluation into a coin flip paid for with two fees, and transfers the risk entirely to us.
What is explicitly allowed
Expert Advisors and automated strategies are permitted, provided the strategy is yours. Scalping is permitted. News trading is permitted. Holding overnight and over weekends is permitted. Hedging within a single account is permitted.
Our commitment on this
Rules that appear only after a breach are not rules; they are traps. Everything that can end your evaluation is published on the rules page before you buy. If we ever add a restriction, it applies to accounts opened after the change, not retroactively.
