The rules that decide whether a For Traders account passes, stays funded or breaches. News and weekend trading are permitted by default, and the tighter conditions sit around automation, copying and concentration.
Checked against For Traders on 29 July 2026
Account Type
Model
News trading is allowed without restriction during every forex challenge phase. On forex master accounts new trades cannot be opened within a 5 minute window around a high impact release, though holding through news is permitted. Crypto and futures accounts carry no news restriction.
Positions may be held overnight and over the weekend on every account type and at every stage. There is no Friday close requirement and no add-on is needed for it.
Expert advisors are permitted only as decision support, and any advisor, script or bot that opens, closes, manages or modifies positions without direct and continuous input is prohibited. Copying trades into a For Traders account from an external account, signal service or third party tool is prohibited, while copying out to your own external accounts is allowed. Third party management and password sharing are grounds for closure.
Hedging within a single account is not prohibited. Offsetting positions across multiple For Traders accounts is, along with hedge, reverse and latency arbitrage. Positions must be held at least 5 seconds, no single instrument or direction may use more than 40% of available margin, and grid trading, tick scalping and martingale style loss recovery are prohibited.
Yes during all forex challenge phases, without restriction. On forex master accounts new trades cannot be opened within 5 minutes either side of a high impact release, but existing positions may be held through it. Crypto and futures accounts have no news restriction.
Yes. Positions may be held over the weekend at all stages and on all account types, and overnight holding is allowed. No purchase or add-on is required for either.
Only in a supporting role. An advisor may inform your judgment but may not replace it, and any advisor, script or bot that opens, closes, manages or modifies positions without direct and continuous input is prohibited. Following group or signal service calls is also prohibited, because activity must reflect independent decision making.
Copying into a For Traders account from an external account, signal service or third party tool is prohibited. Copying out from a For Traders account to accounts you own yourself is allowed. Allowing third party access or trading on behalf of others is prohibited by the terms.
Within a single account, yes. Across accounts, no. Offsetting positions across multiple For Traders accounts is treated as artificially neutralising risk, and hedge, reverse and latency arbitrage are prohibited.
The trader is removed from the ongoing challenge and all accounts are closed, although the firm states it distinguishes intentional from unintentional mistakes and reviews each case. The terms also allow disqualification from reward eligibility, blocked access, cancellation of pending rewards and a permanent cross account ban. A chargeback triggers immediate termination and a permanent ban.
