Only semi-automatic software is permitted, provided the trader actively supervises and manually adjusts all trades. The wording is deliberately broad, so anything that places or manages a position without you present is out.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#ffffff;font-family:Poppins,Arial,sans-serif;margin:24px 0 6px;\">Semi-automatic means supervised, not scheduled<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size:15px;color:rgba(226,232,240,0.9);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,Segoe UI,Roboto,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.85;margin:0 0 14px;\">The permitted case requires two things together: active supervision and manual adjustment of all trades. A tool that alerts you, sizes a position or lays out a bracket while you sit at the screen is the kind of thing this covers. A system left running while you are away is not, no matter how simple it is.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#ffffff;font-family:Poppins,Arial,sans-serif;margin:24px 0 6px;\">How much freedom you have everywhere else<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size:15px;color:rgba(226,232,240,0.9);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,Segoe UI,Roboto,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.85;margin:0 0 14px;\">It is worth reading this rule against the rest of the Phidias rulebook, which is unusually permissive. Phidias states that it believes in your autonomy, that your trading style is the expression of your personality and strategy, and that you have free rein whether you scalp, trade intraday or swing, as long as your trading is legitimate, in line with market conditions, and Phidias can replicate your trades on its corporate accounts. That last clause is the reason the automation rule exists: a system Phidias cannot mirror on a real account is a system it cannot fund.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#ffffff;font-family:Poppins,Arial,sans-serif;margin:24px 0 6px;\">Related restrictions<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size:15px;color:rgba(226,232,240,0.9);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,Segoe UI,Roboto,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.85;margin:0 0 14px;\">Two others sit alongside it. Lottery trades, meaning seeking exceptional trades or trying to accumulate funds quickly through excessive risk-taking, are strongly discouraged and can be actioned. And single-tick arbitrage strategies on Treasury bonds such as ZT, ZF, ZN, ZB and UB are prohibited, though all other bond strategies are allowed. Bond traders also need to contact Phidias to request activation of CBOT market data.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:22px;font-weight:800;color:#ffffff;font-family:Poppins,Arial,sans-serif;margin:32px 0 12px;\">Final Comments<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:15px;color:rgba(226,232,240,0.9);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,Segoe UI,Roboto,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.85;margin:0 0 14px;\">Automation rules are one of the fastest moving parts of any prop firm rulebook, and they are also one of the most expensive to get wrong.
