Allowed unless they use prohibited strategies. 1-Step Lite and Pro: not allowed. Maintain a consistent strategy; do not mix manual and EA trading on 1-Step Standard.
The AML policy treats using a VPN to mask identity or location as a red flag. No general permission to use VPNs on prop funding accounts is published.
Cross-account hedging prohibited. Same-account hedging depends on the program.
Hedging is allowed within a single account. Hedging across multiple accounts (yours or others') is NOT allowed.
Discretionary scalping allowed; tick scalping and execution abuse prohibited. The official blog states a 2-minute minimum trade duration, without specifying its scope by programme in the help centre.
Minimum holding time of 2 minutes. Trades closed in under 2 minutes are flagged as tick scalping and count as a rule violation, whether closed manually or by automated systems. Average trade duration should stay above 1–2 minutes. Scalping itself is allowed as long as you stay above the 2-minute floor.
1-Step Standard/Lite: maximum of 2 simultaneous positions.
Used margin must remain below 80% of current equity; floating losses can increase this ratio.
Manual copy trading is allowed ONLY between accounts legally owned by the same person (e.g. between your own Evaluation and Funded accounts, or between your Blue Guardian account and external accounts in your name). NOT allowed:
- Copying trades from other traders' accounts.
- Third-party copiers that involve accounts not legally yours.
- Having a third party manage your trades.
Instant Funding users may also use third-party copiers, provided all accounts belong to the same user.
Allowed on Standard, Lite evaluations, Instant Standard and Subscription. Pro and Instant Lite: unconfirmed.
News trading is allowed on Challenge, Guardian X and Instant Starter.
It is NOT allowed on Instant Standard and Funded accounts. On those, do not open or close trades within 5 minutes before or 5 minutes after a red folder (high-impact) release. Profits made during that window or significantly influenced by the news will be removed, even without an account violation. Same 5-minute window applies around FOMC speeches, statements and news events on Funded accounts.
Note: Instant Standard accounts purchased after November 13, 2025 cannot do news trading at all.
Closure after 30 calendar days without executing a trade; logging in or holding a position does not count.
30 days
1-Step Standard/Lite: lot sizes between 25% and 200% of the average according to official examples; 14 trading days and no trade or group may account for most profits. Reviewed at payout; noncompliant profits may be removed.
Consistency rule applies to: 1 Step Nano evaluation and funded (50%), 2 Step Nano funded (50%), 2 Step Pro funded (25%), Guardian X and Instant Standard funded (20%), Instant Starter funded (15%), $300K and $400K Instant funded (15%).
Does NOT apply to: 2 Step Nano evaluation, 1 Step Standard, 1 Step Pro, 2 Step Standard, 2 Step Classic, 3 Step funded accounts, nor to any other challenge phase.
Calculation: a single trading day cannot equal or exceed the threshold of total profits in the payout cycle. If exceeded, the payout button is blocked until the highest day drops below the threshold. Violating it does NOT terminate the account.
2-Step Standard and Instant Standard: allowed. 1-Step Standard from 5K to 200K: requires the add-on. Lite and Subscription: not allowed.
