Bots, copy trading and trading costs at Funded Futures Network

Bots & automated tradingAllowed with conditions
Evaluation: Allowed with conditionsFunded: Allowed with conditionsLive: Allowed with conditions
  • Automated strategies (EAs, algorithms) are permitted when they execute the account holder's own strategy on their own accounts.
  • Automation may not synchronize execution with other users' accounts or replicate another trader's positions.
  • HFT rule, for manual and automated trading: if more than 30% of the trades in a session last 5 seconds or less, the account fails and all profits are forfeited — no appeal.
  • A bot running the same strategy on several accounts counts as copy trading (max 5 accounts, see below).
Copy tradingAllowed with conditions
  • You may copy-trade at most 5 FFN accounts at the same time (max 10 accounts per user); exceeding 5 fails all the copy-traded accounts.
  • Any trade entered or exited at the same time on several accounts counts as copied, including bots running identical strategies and manual mirroring.
  • Copying other traders or signal services isn't allowed; each account needs a consistent IP not shared with other traders.
