Copy trading and multiple accounts

Copying trades across your own accounts is allowed. Many funded traders run several accounts on the same strategy, and we have no objection to it.

What is allowed

• Running the same strategy across multiple Lumen accounts you own
• Using a copier or trade replication tool between your own accounts
• Different sizes on different accounts, since drawdowns differ by size

Copies have to run in the same direction. Long on one account and short on another at the same time is hedging across accounts, and it is not allowed.

What is not allowed

• Copying between your account and someone else's. Accounts are individual, and the verified owner has to be the person trading
• Opposite directions across your own accounts. One long and one short is a hedge, not a copy, and it takes a payout from variance rather than from trading
• Group coordination, where several traders act together so one account profits regardless of direction. That is covered in prohibited conduct
• Household farming, meaning accounts registered to family members but operated by you

The five funded account limit

You can hold up to five funded accounts at once, across every program. The limit is per household, meaning people at the same address, not per person.

Evaluations are not capped. You can run as many as you like and hold passed ones in reserve.

The funded limit exists because copy trading across an unlimited number of accounts stops being trading and becomes a numbers game against the drawdown: run enough copies and one survives by chance.

If you genuinely share an address with an unrelated trader, tell us before it becomes a problem.
