Hedging is allowed within a single account. Hedging across multiple accounts (yours or others') is NOT allowed.

Scalping
Limited

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.

Limited

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.

Copy Trading
No
Limited

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.

News Trading
Limited

Allowed on Standard, Lite evaluations, Instant Standard and Subscription. Pro and Instant Lite: unconfirmed.

Limited

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.

Inactivity Rule
Yes

Closure after 30 calendar days without executing a trade; logging in or holding a position does not count.

30 days

Consistency Rule
Limited

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.

Yes

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.
