Using Copy Trading, Account Management, or "Pass Your Challenge" Services
If the trader uses any type of copy trading service, account management, or "pass your challenge" services, it will be considered a violation/ breach, as all trades taken on any TFT demo account must be that of the trader's own idea and execution.
Violating Prohibited Trade Copying Activities
If you breach the aforementioned rules, your account will be subject to immediate review and breach. This may result in the loss of any fees associated with our challenges, as well as the cancellation of pending payouts. To clarify, "trade copying" refers to the use of software designed to replicate trades across different accounts automatically, or the practice of manually executing similar trades across several accounts in a coordinated manner.
