For Traders

For Traders – Trading Conditions

Expert Advisors (EAs)

• -  Allowed only if they assist your decisions
• -  Fully automated or self-trading bots → not allowed

So you can have tools.
You just can’t outsource your brain entirely.

Copy Trading

• -  Allowed:
  • -    Between your own For Traders accounts
  • -    From your For Traders account (as master)
• Not allowed:
  • -    Copying into a For Traders account

You can lead your own system.
You just can’t plug into someone else’s.

News Trading

• -    Evaluation Phase:
  • -    No restrictions
• -    Funded Accounts:
  • -    Cannot open trades 5 minutes before/after news
  • -    Profits from trades opened in that window → removed

You can hold trades through news.
Just don’t try to time the explosion.

Instant Drawdown Protection

• -     Max floating loss: -2% of starting balance

Violations:

• -    1st → Trades closed, account continues, profit split reduced to 50%
• -    2nd → Account terminated

This is basically a safety net…
that also doubles as a warning system.

Risk & Execution Rules

• -    Max 40% margin usage per direction/instrument
• -    No trade can exceed 70% of the profit target

Example:
If your plan is:
“One trade and I’m done”
→ This rule is specifically waiting for you.

Minimum Trading Days

Instant Accounts:

• -    7 profitable days (≥0.5% each)

Instant Pro:

• -    No minimum

Evaluation & Funded (Fast, Classic, Strike):

• -    3 profitable days per phase

So yes, they want consistency…
but they’re not dragging it out unnecessarily.

Trade Behavior Restrictions

Not allowed:

• -    HFT / Arbitrage / Tick scalping
• -    Grid / Martingale
• -    Hedging
• -    Overleveraging
• -    One-sided betting
• -    Account rolling
• -    Group or signal trading
• -    Fully automated bots

At this point, it’s the usual list.

Nothing surprising, just covering all the “creative shortcuts.”

Inactivity Rules

• -    Instant accounts:
  • -    7 days inactivity → account terminated
• -    Other programs:
  • -    30 days inactivity → terminated

So depending on the account, you either:

• -    take a short break
  or
• -    apparently take no break at all

Time Limit (3-Step Challenge)

• -    Total: 180 days
• -    60 days per phase

Reasonable enough.
No unnecessary pressure here.

Overnight & Weekend Holding

• -    Allowed

A small but important plus.
No hidden complications here.

Code of Conduct

Not allowed:

• -    Harassment, threats, or toxic behavior
• -    Spamming or system abuse
• -    Impersonation
• -    Payment disputes abuse

Final Take

For Traders sits comfortably in the middle:

• -    Clear rules
• -    Decent flexibility
• -    Some strict areas around execution and behavior

Nothing feels overly aggressive.
Nothing feels overly relaxed either.

If your style is:

• -    Structured
• -    Moderately paced
• -    Not dependent on extremes

You’ll likely have a smooth experience.

If it leans toward:

• -    High-risk, single-trade strategies
• -    Fast execution
• -    Or heavy automation

You’ll start noticing where the boundaries are pretty quickly.
