What trading practices are prohibited during the Breakout Evaluation?

The following are prohibited during a Breakout Evaluation:

  1. Exploiting errors or latency in pricing or the platform

  2. Using non-public or insider information

  3. Front-running trades placed elsewhere

  4. Trading in a way that jeopardizes Breakout's relationship with an exchange or market maker

  5. Trading in a way that creates regulatory issues for Breakout, an exchange, or a market maker

  6. Using a third-party or off-the-shelf approach marketed specifically to pass evaluations

  7. Using one approach to pass the evaluation, then switching approaches once funded

  8. Attempting to arbitrage your demo account against another Breakout or third-party account

  9. Using strategies that are difficult to replicate in live markets or carry outsized risk when replicated (for example, trades that would trigger auto-deleveraging or produce exceedingly large swings in unrealized P&L)

  10. Executing trade ideas copied from a third party, including signals, communities, social media, or research reports

  11. Sharing account access, or trading multiple accounts from the same household, device, or IP address

  12. Hedging across accounts, including opposing positions on the same or correlated assets across evaluation and funded accounts, or coordinating with another trader. See What are the rules for hedging and copy trading? for details
