Copy trading is prohibited because all trading activity must reflect independent decision-making and genuine risk management. Replicating trades from other sources can undermine the integrity of account performance.
Common concerns include:
Lack of independent strategy: Trades are not based on the account holder's own analysis or decision-making
Risk control bypassing: Copying trades can mirror strategies that do not align with account rules or risk limits
Unfair advantage: Using signals, groups, or third-party services can create non-organic performance that does not reflect true trading ability
