Limited

EAs are allowed; no HFT, latency arbitrage, error exploitation or abusive automation.

Yes
Hedging
No

Netting accounts offset opposite orders in the same symbol. Cross account hedging is prohibited.

Yes
Requires Stop Loss
Limited

PFP Low: stop at opening and closing, with up to 20 seconds to place it. Moderate: stop before closing. Medium, High, Classic and InstantGrowth: no general requirement. An accidental position fully closed within 10 seconds does not by itself change risk group.

Yes

This rule doesn't apply when buying the add-on at the check-out (+10%)

Scalping
Limited

No minimum holding time under the current terms; no tick scalping or HFT.

Yes
Stacking / Layering (DCA)
Limited

Partial entries are allowed; all positions with the same instrument and trading intent count as a single trade for combined risk assessment.

Yes
Martingale
Limited

Prohibited on InstantGrowth. Other plans remain subject to risk limits and restrictions on excessively speculative strategies.

No data
Maximum Risk Limit
Yes

Per trade: Classic and PFP evaluation 3%; InstantGrowth 2%. Funded PFP Low/Moderate/Medium/High: 1%/1.5%/2%/3% of opening balance. Exceeding the assigned group pauses funding and closes positions; resuming requires paying the fee difference for the new group.

Limited

1-Step Max: maximum 1% combined open risk per symbol, not across the entire account. Positions on different symbols have separate 1% limits. During evaluation, symbol-risk, missing-stop-loss and maximum-position-risk violations share one counter: warnings on strikes 1 and 2; hard breach on strike 3. On funded accounts, the first violation is a hard breach. The purchased no-stop-loss add-on exception still applies.

Copy Trading
Limited

Own account copying is allowed during evaluation only. Prohibited on funded accounts, including your own. While one funded account holds an asset, other funded accounts of the same user or network cannot open that asset in either direction.

Allowed between Lark Simulated Funded Accounts. Not allowed between Evaluation Accounts
