Evaluation uses the full size cap (5 / 10 / 15) with no scaling.

Trading rules

Weekend holding
Not allowed. Flat and cancel resting orders before 4:10 p.m. ET or session close, whichever is sooner. The platform auto-liquidates leftovers; relying on that is a Forbidden Trading Practice.
Not allowed
Overnight holding
Not allowed. A trading day runs 6:00 p.m. ET to 4:10 p.m. ET the next calendar day. No hold past market close.
Not allowed
Hedging
Opposite positions are allowed on a single account only. Offsetting across FTMO accounts, other firms, or other people is prohibited.
Not recorded
Copy trading
Copying another trader (signals, master accounts, or copiers) is prohibited. Copying across your own accounts is permitted if each account independently complies with every rule.
Permitted; the trader bears responsibility
Expert advisors (EAs)
Automated trading is permitted except high-frequency, latency-arbitrage, or other abusive systems. The trader is responsible for bot errors. Third-party access to the account is prohibited.
Not recorded
Other restrictions
No trading within 2% of a CME daily price limit; no hold past session close; no exploiting sim/feed errors; no third-party account access. News-event concentration that is inconsistent with broader trading can fail the risk-management standard. Sim-Funded inactivity: warning after 30 days, closed after a further 30. See Forbidden Trading Practices.
