Yes, you are allowed to hold your positions overnight and over the weekend.

However, it is essential to note that this will entail the accrual of swap fees.

We maintain trade diversity and mitigate risk by strictly prohibiting the use of Expert Advisors (EAs) on certain demo accounts. Therefore, we have specific rules regarding the use of EAs across each of our demo account types. Violating the EA rules outlined in this article will result in the failure of these challenges and the closure of all demo accounts. HFT bots are not allowed due to their inability to generate real profits through illegitimate practices or trading according to demo conditions. Since we fund our traders' personal performance, HFT is among the few prohibited strategies we simply cannot support.

EAs are permitted on Troopers demo accounts

EAs are not permitted on regular demo accounts for the Quick Hike

EAs are not permitted on regular demo accounts for the Steady Climb

Please advise caution when using third-party or publicly available EAs. The parameters of the EA you are using must be unique to your demo account as our internal systems may flag the account for copy simulated trading, which is a direct violation of our terms and conditions. In such cases, an investigation will be launched, which may result in the breach of the demo account

Throughout all program phases, there are no lot size restrictions. Our policy aligns with the broker's limits, and we do not impose any additional constraints.

Yes, you can trade high-impact news and any other news without restriction with the “Troopers” challenge type.

With the Steady Climb and Quick Hike challenge types, high-impact news trading is possible, but you cannot open new positions 8 minutes before or after the news release time.

Copy trading is allowed in our program; however, there are certain restrictions. Copy trading is possible only between personal accounts. Both external and internal accounts are allowed, but we cannot tolerate third-party copy trading. Copy trading from signal groups, fellow traders, or without prior authorization will result in a breach of your account.

At Funded Top, scalping is permitted on all FT Challenge and Simulated Funded Accounts. Nevertheless, we advise against trading during significant macroeconomic news events. Please note that we have no restrictions regarding the trade holding time, so you are free to close your trades whenever you wish. However, we are against trading strategies that are deemed "all or nothing" and do not accept strategies dependent on this style of trading.

When a trader violates a daily drawdown or max drawdown rule, we automatically deactivate their account, and all trades made after the breach are not counted. If the trader wishes to attempt the evaluation again, they must purchase another account on our website.

Right now, merging is not possible, but we plan to provide an option to merge the same challenge types in the future. Please stay updated by joining our Discord community.

Our loss limits are based on equity. The daily loss limit resets at 0:00 GMT +0.

Yes, we do permit the use of VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) and VPS (Virtual Private Servers) in your trading activities. It's imperative to emphasize the importance of safeguarding your account credentials.

Group trading, where multiple traders access and trade the same account, is strictly prohibited.

Engaging in group trading can result in the closure of your trading account. Therefore, while VPNs and VPS are acceptable tools, it's essential to use them responsibly and in compliance with our trading rules.

Trading with multiple IP addresses and devices is permitted on our platform, provided that the trades are executed solely by the individual who has completed the KYC process and is the designated account holder.

Trading must be legitimate, and traders must not use practices that contradict the functioning of a real market. A trading strategy is allowed, provided it doesn’t interfere with legitimate trading or exploit practices intended to cause harm to us or misuse the Evaluation Process and/or Funded Account in any way, thereby breaching our forbidden trading strategies.

The minimum age to participate in all of our programs is 18 years of age or older.

We do not have an inactivity rule. You are free to take a break and come back to trading whenever it is most convenient for you.

Hedging is permitted and defined as maintaining trades in both directions for the same instrument simultaneously. This means having both long (buy) and short (sell) positions open concurrently for the same asset within the same account. However, hedging across two separate evaluation or funded challenges is also prohibited and will result in the forfeiture of both challenges.

Prohibited trading practices are as follows:

– Exploiting unrealistic prices or trade opportunities, including arbitrage, latency trading, front-running price feeds, and exploiting mispricing.

– Latency trading

– Arbitrage trading

- High-frequency trading

– Reverse trading or group hedging

Furthermore, account management services are strictly prohibited. All accounts and trades must be executed by the registered trader. If you’re unsure about the compliance of your EA or manual scalping strategy submit the strategy to our support team for clarification.
