General Trading Rules · The Question

Is Martingale/Layering allowed?

Yes, martingale and layering strategies are allowed within a single account.

However, these strategies must not be used across multiple accounts to avoid manipulation or strategy abuse.

Example:
Opening the same pair across multiple accounts is only permitted under the following conditions:

  • You may open a Buy position on XAUUSD in Account A and open another Buy position on XAUUSD in Account B, as long as both positions are opened within 5 minutes of each other.
  • If the positions are not opened within 5 minutes of each other, then the position in Account B may only be opened after the position in Account A has been fully closed.

Important:

  • If positions on the same pair are opened across different accounts more than 5 minutes apart, any profit (whether partial profit or full profit) generated from such activity on all accounts involved will not be eligible for performance reward
  • This behavior is classified as sequential trading across accounts, which is strictly prohibited.

​Challenge Phase

If more than 20% of the total profit in the challenge phase is made through trades violating this rule, you will be required to redo the challenge.

This policy is in place to ensure fair and sustainable trading conditions. At Funded Trader Markets, we aim to provide an optimal trading environment and prevent any potential misuse or gambling behavior.
