Trading Rules
What's allowed during trading
View conditions
All positions must be closed before Friday's market close (4:45 PM ET); positions cannot be carried from Friday into the Sunday evening session.
View conditions
Bots and algorithms are allowed only if you are the sole owner and sole user of the strategy, do not share it with any other trader or firm, do not run it at any other firm, and can prove ownership on request. Tradeify scans for similar orders on other accounts and may require a live video of you enabling the code on your own PC. HFT bots are excluded. The same four conditions appear in clause 6.6 of the Funded Trader Agreement.
View conditions
Copying or mirroring your own trades across your own accounts is permitted while the positions are in the same direction - "Long ES on Account A + Long ES on Account B = ALLOWED (same direction across accounts - this is how copy trading works)". Copying or mirroring trades between you and any other person, team trading, group trading and third-party account management are strictly prohibited by clause 6.7(b) of the Funded Trader Agreement, and opposite directions across your own accounts remain a hedging violation.

A position may be held for the length of one session - 6:00 PM ET to 4:45 PM ET the next calendar day, nearly 23 hours - but never through the daily close or the 5:00-6:00 PM ET maintenance break, on any account type including Elite Live. The article headline reads "No Overnight or Swing Trading" while its own FAQ answers "Can I stay positioned overnight? Yes, within a single trading session", so the rule is a session boundary rather than a clock-midnight ban. Anything still open at the close is auto-flattened by Tradeify, which does not fail the account but can fill badly.
View conditions
No opposing long/short positions on the same instrument or on two products in the same Product Group (Equity Index, Energy, Metals, Currencies, Interest Rates, Grains, Livestock, Volatility), in one account or spread across any accounts you control, and regardless of contract size - a micro leg against a mini leg still counts. Consequence: every account involved set to violation status, forfeiture of profits made during the violation, and possibly a permanent ban. The automated check breaches an account only when the hedge lasts over 10 seconds and generates more than $150; cross-account and correlated-product hedging are reviewed separately by the risk team. Minis and micros may now be held together in the same direction, within a 10 micros = 1 mini contract limit.
