Firm Rules

Copy Trading

Copying trades between your own accounts within The Trading Pit is permitted for CFD trading.

Expert Advisors (EAs)

Using copy signals that originate from external sources is not allowed.

News Trading

News trading is permitted on smaller account sizes ($5K–$50K) but strictly forbidden within 2 minutes before and after major economic announcements on larger accounts ($100K–$200K).

Inactivity Rule

Accounts that remain dormant for 21 consecutive days without placing any trades will be automatically suspended.

Initiating trades within 2 hours of market closure when the market will be shut for 2+ hours is not permitted.

Prohibited Strategies

Martingale and grid-based strategies are forbidden. Overleveraging and excessive position exposure that amplify drawdown risk are also restricted.

Consistent Lot Sizing

Traders must maintain disciplined and proportional lot sizes to avoid gambling-style trading patterns and demonstrate sound risk management.

Hyperactivity Prevention

Excessive or impulsive trading within compressed timeframes is discouraged to promote thoughtful, analysis-based decision-making.

One-Directional Bias

Placing trades predominantly in a single direction without thorough market analysis and supporting rationale is not acceptable.
