Frequently Asked Questions
Rarely without conditions. 26 of the 37 firms publishing a policy allow it only in certain circumstances, 6 allow it outright and 5 prohibit it completely.
At many firms, yes — this is the most commonly permitted form. FundingPips, for example, allows copying between accounts registered to the same individual. Some firms carve out an exception for instant funding accounts even when own-account copying is otherwise fine.
This is the form firms are most likely to ban. Inbound copy trading — copying into your funded account from an external source — is prohibited at several firms even where own-account copying is allowed, because the strategy being evaluated is not yours.
Consequences range from the trades being voided to the account being closed without payout. Because the rule is usually written into the terms rather than the marketing page, check the firm's own policy before running any copier.
Rules change without notice and vary by account type. Confirm with the firm before you trade.
