General Rules
Every rule, every condition, published before you start your challenge. Same rules for every trader.
News Trading
News trading is allowed across all account models with no restrictions on timing or news event type.
No restrictions. Open, close, or hold positions through any scheduled or unscheduled news event, including NFP, CPI, FOMC, GDP releases, and geopolitical events.
Watch for volatility spikes and liquidity drops around major releases. Adjust position sizing or stops accordingly.
Automated Systems (EAs and Bots)
EAs and bots are allowed on both the Challenge and FundedNext Account.
Use automated strategies through any platform integration that connects to Tradovate. Setup, configuration, and troubleshooting are not supported by FundedNext.
Automated activity must follow the prohibited strategies policy. Exploiting platform vulnerabilities, latency, or pricing errors through automation is treated as platform abuse.
Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)
DCA is allowed when applied with a structured entry plan and risk management.
Scale into positions at predefined price levels or zones, supported by a clear rationale for each entry. No restrictions on timing, size, or placement when applied with discipline.
Continuously adding to losing positions without an exit strategy is discouraged. It increases the risk of breaching the Maximum Loss Limit and reflects poor risk management.
