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 short position on the same asset in the same account.

What's not allowed:

  1. 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 the same name, email, or identity.

  2. Cross-trader hedging - coordinating with another trader to take opposite sides of the same or correlated assets across your respective accounts, including sharing signals, strategies, or timing to engineer a guaranteed profit.

  3. Copy trading across users - copying trades between different users' accounts.

Breakout monitors evaluation and funded account activity - timing, entry prices, notional size, position size, and exposure patterns - to identify prohibited hedging. Determinations are made at Breakout's 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.
