Trading Rules
Trading Restrictions
Definition
The set of limitations prop firms place on how, when, and what traders can trade on funded accounts.
How It Works
Trading restrictions encompass all the rules beyond drawdown limits: news trading restrictions, weekend/overnight holding bans, prohibited instruments, lot size limits, trading hours, EA/bot restrictions, copy trading bans, and martingale/grid strategy prohibitions. These rules exist to manage the firm's risk exposure.
Each firm has a unique combination of restrictions, so it's crucial to verify that your trading strategy is compatible before purchasing a challenge. Violating any restriction typically results in immediate account termination, even if you're profitable.
