Which trading strategies and tools are allowed?

Zaktualizowano ponad miesiąc temu

SpiceProp allows a wide range of trading strategies and tools, including manual trading, custom indicators, and automated systems (EAs) — provided they comply with our risk, fairness, and transparency rules.

Our goal is to support professional trading behavior while preventing practices that artificially inflate performance or bypass risk controls.

Copy Trading

What is copy trading?
Copy trading is the process of replicating trades between different trading accounts. This can be done manually or automatically using external tools such as Expert Advisors (EAs), cloud-based trade copiers, or local trade-copier software.

Copy trading rules at SpiceProp

To ensure transparency and proper risk management, the following rules apply:

Permitted

Copying trades from a Funded account (Master) to a Challenge account (Slave).

Prohibited

Copying trades from a Challenge account to a Funded account.
This is not allowed due to different risk parameters and the evaluative nature of Challenge accounts.
Copying trades between multiple Funded accounts.
Replicating identical positions across several funded accounts is considered an artificial amplification of the same risk model and goes against our diversification principles.
Copy trading between different persons, regardless of account type (Challenge or Funded).

Any violation of these rules may result in payout cancellation, account suspension, or termination.

Automated Trading & Source Code Requests

Automated trading is allowed, but traders must fully understand and control the tools they use.

Why may we request the EA source code?
If our Risk Department detects trading behavior that suggests the use of prohibited practices — such as arbitrage, latency trading, toxic execution patterns, or high-frequency manipulation — we reserve the right to request access to the source code of the automated system used.

This helps us verify compliance and protect the integrity of the platform.

Trader responsibilities when using automation:

You must have full knowledge and understanding of your EA’s logic, parameters, and behavior.
If requested, you must provide the source code within 5 working days for review.
Failure or refusal to provide the source code within the given timeframe may result in:
- a negative account assessment,
- payout rejection, or
- classification as a breach of the Terms & Conditions.

Summary

Manual trading, indicators, and EAs are allowed.
Copy trading is strictly regulated and limited to specific use cases.
Automated traders are responsible for transparency and tool compliance.
Risk control and fairness always take priority over execution style.
