Not available yet: API access for your own bots is announced as coming soon, under the same risk limits. Signal-copying services are excluded.

Self-developed bots and EAs are allowed when the trader can prove ownership of the strategy. Public or third-party bots are prohibited. Cleo does not currently support external bots, although its built-in semi-assisted tools may be used.

Allowed as long as no connection from a prohibited country is detected. Purchases and KYC through a VPN or VPS are prohibited.

Allowed within a single account. Opposite positions across accounts are prohibited.

Recommended. During the funded stage, consistently trading without stop losses may be considered poor risk management.

No minimum hold time.

Tick scalping performed with manipulative intent or to exploit execution conditions is prohibited.

Martingale and layering allowed.

No lot size restrictions or margin rules.

Each trade must keep its realized loss below 3% of account equity at the time it was opened, both per partial close and cumulatively. In the funded stage, individual positions are capped at 1x account balance on Instant Pro and 2x on One-Step Pro/Two-Step Pro; cumulative exposure is capped at 2x and 3x respectively. The first position-size or exposure violation receives one five-minute correction window.

Copying or mirroring trades from other accounts, platforms, signal services or third parties is prohibited during both evaluation and funded stages.

Allowed on every plan, including CPI, NFP and FOMC.

News trading is allowed. Daily and maximum drawdown limits and all other risk rules remain active during volatile events.

An account with no trading activity for 30 days is closed.

Deactivation after 30 days without trading. Email warning after 14 days of inactivity.

Funded stage only. The best day must account for less than 25% of total profit on Instant Pro, 15% on Instant Lite, 30% on One-Step Pro, 20% on One-Step Lite and 40% on Two-Step Pro. Exceeding the threshold delays payouts until compliance; it does not close the account.
Nitro uses a Funded Score below 20%: best day profit divided by total profit from profitable days in the payout cycle. This delays payout until compliant and never closes the account.

Positions can stay open overnight and through weekends.

Positions may be held overnight, through weekends and for as long as the strategy requires.

Exploiting pricing, platform errors or latency; insider information; front-running; third-party or off-the-shelf strategies marketed to pass challenges; passing with one strategy and using another on the funded account; arbitrage against other accounts or firms; hedging across accounts.
