Trading Rules
What's allowed during trading
View conditions
Trading through a news release with a normal day-to-day strategy is allowed, but strategies built around the release are not: “Using ‘news trading’ strategies that ‘chase the market’ or place orders on both sides but to be lucky or gamble the outcome of news is not allowed.” Directional and multi-directional news entries and pre-news windfall entries are prohibited.
View conditions
No weekend-specific rule is published, but every position must be closed before the daily 4:59 PM ET close, which leaves no way to carry a position across a weekend: “Holding open trade positions through the market close. Traders are responsible for ensuring that all open trade positions are closed prior to the market close.”
View conditions
“No Automation or Algorithm Usage allowed: Rewards are intended to recognize human traders actively participating in the learning process, not to reward automated systems executing preprogrammed logic.” The same rule is restated for live accounts.
View conditions
Copying between the trader's own accounts is permitted — “Copy trading across PA accounts under your personal name and business name is allowed” — but only while every copied account trades the same direction, because the hedging rule still applies. Copying with anyone else is forbidden: “Sharing MAC addresses, computers, IPs, credit cards, or trade copying with other traders is strictly forbidden.”
View conditions
All positions must be closed before the 4:59 PM ET close; “Traders engaging in these prohibited activities will forfeit their accounts and all associated balances.” The live program restates it with a tighter deadline: “All trades must be closed by 4:50 PM ET.”
View conditions
“No Hedging of Any Kind – Directional Trading only. Holding both long and short positions simultaneously on the same or correlated instrument is strictly prohibited.” The correlated-instruments rule extends this to micro-versus-mini of the same market, correlated index, metal, grain and currency spreads, and across a trader's own accounts and other traders in the same household; violation closes the account.
View conditions
Not banned outright — banned for concealment: “You may not use VPNs, proxy servers, cloud servers, anonymizing tools, or other methods or tools for the purpose of misrepresenting, concealing, or disguising your identity, device, or location” to evade rules, security measures or geographic restrictions, hide prior violations, or facilitate fraud.
