What are the rules for hedging and copy trading?

Hedging within a single account is allowed. Hedge Mode is on by default for both evaluation and funded accounts, so you can hold a long and a short position on the same asset in the same account at once.

What's not allowed:

  • Cross-account hedging: opposite positions on the same or closely correlated assets across two or more accounts (any combination of evaluation and funded), regardless of whether the accounts share a name, email, or identity

  • Cross-trader hedging: coordinating with another trader to take opposite sides of the same or correlated assets across your respective accounts, including via shared signals, strategies, or timing

  • Copy trading across users: copying trades between different traders' accounts

Breakout monitors evaluation and funded trading activity and reviews timing, entry prices, notional size, and exposure patterns to identify prohibited hedging. Determinations are made at Breakout's sole discretion.

A confirmed violation results in immediate termination of all associated accounts, forfeiture of accrued profits, and permanent suspension. A first-time inadvertent violation may receive a warning at Breakout's discretion; deliberate or repeated violations will not.
