EAs are allowed when the strategy is the trader's own and does not breach prohibited practices such as arbitrage, HFT, or exploitation of delays and errors.

EAs are allowed if they comply with every trading rule.

Using an EA does not override the prohibited-strategy rules. The following remain prohibited:

• Hedging
• Layering
• Martingale
• Grid trading
• High-frequency trading
• Trades held for less than 2 minutes

Each account is limited to one IP address. Contact support before changing location or IP.

Hedging within one account is allowed. Hedging positions across multiple accounts to manipulate results is prohibited.

Manual scalping is allowed, but tick scalping, HFT, and strategies exploiting delays or pricing errors are prohibited.

All trades must remain open for at least 2 minutes.

Multiple positions are allowed as part of a legitimate strategy; excessive or coordinated exposure intended to bypass risk rules is prohibited.

Layering or stacking orders to manipulate position size or risk is prohibited.

Orion may treat excessive exposure, overleveraging, and other risk practices inconsistent with realistic trading as a breach.

Additional prop-firm connections are linked using an OTP sent by email. Copying from signal providers, third-party services or accounts belonging to other traders remains prohibited.

During evaluation there is no timing restriction, but using news as a strategy is prohibited. On funded accounts, Nova, Standard, and Select prohibit opening or closing trades 2 minutes before and after high-impact news. Swing has no timing restriction.
