FundedElite: EAs & copy trading
▶FundedElite EA and Copy Trading Rule: Silent Demotion Trap — 44s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
EAs are allowed as analytical/risk-management/charting tools, but fully automated 'hidden' EAs and high-frequency-scalping EAs are prohibited. Copy trading is allowed between your own accounts; third-party/cross-account copying for risk-free profit is prohibited. HFT is prohibited.
The gotcha
If you pass a challenge using hidden/HFT EAs (or very few trades), the resulting live account is demoted back to evaluation status.
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.
