Copy Trading, Signals, and Expert Advisors (EAs)
Q: Are copy trading or third-party signals allowed?
A: No. Copy trading and third-party signal services are strictly prohibited.
Mirroring another person's live trades or relying on external signal services rather than executing your own market thesis violates the P1 Prop Markets rulebook and our core philosophy. Our platform is designed to help traders evolve their individual skills, discipline, and routines. Copying someone else's positions is not considered trading within the P1 ecosystem and will result in a challenge failure.
Q: Can I use Expert Advisors (EAs) or automated trading bots?
A: Yes, but with specific conditions. Automations, Expert Advisors (EAs), algorithmic bots, and custom scripts are permitted, provided they execute your own proprietary strategy.
Automation should be used as a tool to support your individual trading decisions and risk management. It cannot be used as a backdoor method for copy trading, mirroring third-party systems, or entirely outsourcing your trading to an external party.
