Rules
No Grid Trading
Three or more open positions in the same direction on the same instrument are strictly prohibited.
This applies whether a trader is adding into losses or stacking into winning positions. Accounts found using grid strategies will be terminated regardless of overall account performance.
No High-Frequency Trading
Trades lasting 15 seconds or less are not permitted on any account type.
All trading activity must meet a minimum volume-weighted average holding time of at least 2 minutes, calculated by multiplying each trade's holding time by its volume and dividing by total volume. Accounts falling below this threshold will be failed for unrealistic trading methods.
No News Trading on Instant Funded
Opening, closing, or holding any position during restricted high-impact news windows is a hard breach on Instant Funded accounts.
This restriction results in immediate automatic account failure. The rule does not apply during challenge phases on evaluation account types, where news trading is unrestricted.
News Trading Restrictions on Funded Pro Accounts
On funded 1-Step and 2-Step Pro accounts, no trades may be opened or closed within 2 minutes of a high-impact news event.
In addition to the timing restriction, no more than 30% of a trader's total profits may derive from news-influenced trades. Breaching either condition on a funded Pro account constitutes a violation.
No Weekend Holding on Instant Funded
All positions must be fully closed at least one hour before market close on Friday on Instant Funded accounts.
This applies to every instrument including crypto. Any trade found open over the weekend will trigger automatic account failure. Pro account holders are permitted to hold trades over the weekend.
Copy Trading Restrictions
Copying trades from another trader's account manually or through software is strictly prohibited across all account types.
Traders may copy their own trades between their own FundingTraders Pro accounts only. Sharing signals with other traders is also not permitted and will result in termination of all accounts held.
30-Day Inactivity Rule
At least one trade must be placed within every 30-day period from the date the account was purchased.
Accounts with no trading activity within this window are permanently failed and cannot be restored or reactivated. The 30-day clock begins on the purchase date, not the date of last activity.
No Off-the-Shelf EAs
EAs and bots downloaded or purchased online are not permitted unless used exclusively for risk management purposes such as position sizing.
Any other automated system must be personally developed by the trader, who must fully understand its strategy, entry and exit logic, and risk parameters. The risk team may request an explanation of the EA's behaviour at any time, and inability to provide one will result in the account being treated as in violation.
Overleveraging Prohibited
Allocating more than 30% of available margin to a single trade is classified as a toxic trading practice.
Consistently high per-trade risk particularly around news events or with sudden increases in position size, will trigger a review by the risk team. Accounts exhibiting dangerous or unsustainable risk management may be terminated following investigation.
Instant Funded Max Lot Size
On Instant Funded accounts, no single trade may exceed a lot size of 20.
Any trade placed above this limit results in immediate automatic account failure. This restriction applies specifically to Instant Funded accounts; other account types do not carry a hard lot size cap.
