Trading Strategy Restrictions and EA Usage at OnlyFundsFX

Updated over 3 weeks ago

At OnlyFundsFX, we are committed to fostering a fair, transparent, and data-driven trading environment. To ensure the integrity of our ecosystem and protect our firm’s long-term sustainability, certain trading strategies and automation practices are strictly prohibited, while others require explicit approval.

This article outlines which strategies are disallowed, and how to properly use Expert Advisors (EAs) on our platform.


❌ Prohibited Trading Strategies

The following strategies are not allowed on any account type (Quickie, Two Round, or Algorithmic Affair). If detected, they will result in immediate account disqualification without payout, and may lead to future restrictions:

1. High-Frequency Trading (HFT)

  • Any system or approach that opens and closes numerous trades within milliseconds or seconds to exploit small inefficiencies or latency.

2. Arbitrage Trading

  • Strategies that exploit price discrepancies between platforms or brokers — such as latency arbitrage, triangular arbitrage, or reverse arbitrage.

3. Group Copy Trading / Third-Party Signals

  • You may not copy trades from or to other traders' accounts.

  • Using external signal services or Telegram bots to execute trades is forbidden.

  • Only internal, self-managed strategies are permitted.

4. Unauthorized Account Management

  • Traders are not allowed to manage other users’ accounts.

  • You must trade only your own account and cannot outsource execution to third parties or commercial trade managers.

5. Hedging Between Accounts (Group Hedging)

  • Simultaneous opposite trades across different OnlyFunds accounts (or in coordination with others) are not allowed.

  • Example: One account buys XAU/USD while another sells at the same moment — this violates our integrity policy.

⚠️ Violation of any of these strategies will result in a hard breach, loss of profits, and disqualification from current and future evaluations.


🤖 Using Expert Advisors (EAs) on OnlyFundsFX

Yes, Expert Advisors (EAs) are allowed on OnlyFundsFX, but must be submitted for approval before use.

We support algorithmic and automated trading, provided it aligns with our risk, ethics, and execution guidelines.


📝 EA Submission Requirements

To get approval, you must provide the following EA details:

  • Name of the EA

  • Trading Strategy Type (e.g., trend-following, mean reversion, grid, etc.)

  • Assets Traded (e.g., EUR/USD, BTC/USD, Gold)

  • Average Trade Duration

  • Average Lot Size / Volume

  • Trade Frequency Per Day

  • Whether the EA uses SL/TP

  • Screenshots or backtests (if available)

Email your EA submission to support@onlyfundsfx.com. Our risk team will review the information and approve or reject based on sustainability and system integrity.


🚫 Unauthorized EAs

If you use an EA without approval, or use one that engages in any of the prohibited strategies above, it will lead to an immediate account breach and you will be ineligible for refunds or payouts.
