For Traders: EAs & copy trading
▶For Traders EA & Copy Trading Rules: What Voids Accounts — 51s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
EAs are allowed only as assistants to your manual decisions; fully automated bots/emulators/scripts that open, close or manage positions without continuous human input are prohibited. Copy trading is allowed only from your own For Traders account (as Master); copying from another person or external source is prohibited. HFT (trades faster than 5-second intervals) is banned.
The gotcha
Full automation is banned — EAs may only assist manual trading — and sub-5-second holds count as prohibited HFT.
What happens if you break it
Breaching this voids the account outright — the evaluation or funded account is terminated and any unrealised profit is forfeited. It's the most severe class of breach.
