Expert Advisor (EA) usage
“EA” not allowed, hold during news allowed, hold trades over the weekend and trade lot sizes as big as the leverage allows for. However, Any Trading activities that are used to take advantage of trading platform inefficiencies (Gap trading, high frequency trading, server spamming, latency arbitrage, toxic trading flow, hedging, long short arbitrage, reverse arbitrage, tick scalping, server execution, opposite account trading) are all prohibited trading plus account management by a third-party vendor will result in account termination, such activities with Discretionary trading will result in account termination. Keep in mind that using a third-party Expert Advisor is allowed as long as it is a trade or risk manager. Using any other third-party Expert Advisor is not allowed. This will lead to a denial of the evaluation or payout and closure of the account.
Note: HFT is not allowed, trades should be manual. We search for unique traders and strategies. Using a third-party Expert Advisor (EA) is not allowed unless it is a risk or trade manager. This will lead to a denial of the evaluation or payout and closure of the account.
Can I hold trades during news and over the weekend?
Throughout all phases of our trading operations, there are no restrictions concerning news trading and holding positions over the weekend. Traders have the liberty to maintain open positions during news releases and weekends.
It is important to note that profits derived from trades initiated within 2 minutes before and after a high-impact news event on the relevant currency will not be considered. Trading during such events will result in the deduction of profits earned from trades executed within this restricted 2-minute timeframe. While this action does not constitute a violation of the trading account itself, the specific trade(s) opened within this restricted window will be closed, and the associated profits will not be factored into the overall gains.
All high-impact news events, conveniently marked in red on our News Calendar sourced from Forex Factory, are subject to these guidelines. In the event that deductions from such trades lead to a breach of the daily loss limit or maximum loss limit, the responsibility for the violation lies with the trader.
It is crucial to consider both financial instruments in a trading pair. For instance, news related to USD affects BTCUSD, and news related to both EUR and JPY affects EURJPY.
The table below illustrates the most common high-impact news events and their corresponding instruments. However, it’s important to note that this list is not exhaustive, and any high-impact news event marked in red on our calendar will be taken into account.
Summary & Examples:
- News trading will not result in an account loss.
- Profits from trades initiated 2 minutes before and after a high-impact news event on the relevant currency will not be considered; however, this will not lead to an account violation, as our system will automatically close these trades without penalty.
- Trades opened before and closed during or after the prohibited window are permissible.
Note: All-day news events are allowed, and trades opened before the prohibited time window but closed within it will be considered.

IP Restrictions
To ensure a secure trading environment for our traders, Discretionary trading diligently monitors for any suspicious IP address activity.
If discretionary trading identifies multiple accounts originating from similar IP addresses, detects identical trades across different accounts with distinct owners, or observes any hedging activities involving multiple accounts, including those with other prop firms or brokers, such instances will be considered violations.
We strongly advise traders to utilize a single device with a unique IP address during their trading activities on our platform. We recognize that trading may occur from various locations such as home or mobile, potentially resulting in the display of multiple IP addresses on your account.
In the event of travel or relocation leading to the use of different IP addresses, we understand and accept this. However, we may request a valid document for verification purposes.
It is crucial to emphasize our commitment to maintaining a secure trading environment for our community. We employ highly sophisticated fraud detection technologies and actively monitor against our global IP blacklist of fraudulent users. Any attempt to engage with “pass your challenge” companies or account management entities will be swiftly identified, blacklisted, and may lead to legal prosecution of fraudulent traders.
