"Only Admins Can Place Trades"

This message in your platform means trading is disabled: the account has hit its drawdown level (failed) or its Daily Loss Limit (paused until the next trading day).

Rule violations

If a prohibited strategy is confirmed, all accounts involved are closed and unpaid profits on them are forfeited. Serious or repeat violations lead to a full ban. Payouts approved before the finding are honored.

After failing

  • Buy a new evaluation from your Dashboard. Resets aren't available, and you can start again as many times as you like.

  • A failed Monthly account stops rebilling, including a failed Pro Account.

  • To skip the evaluation, you can buy an S2F account instead.
