Additional Comments:
  • You can copy trades between your own FundingPips accounts (i.e., accounts registered under the same individual). For external copy trading, a FundingPips account may only act as a master to an external slave account.
  • FundingPips' partnership with Prop Firm One enables you to extend your copy trading capabilities even further. PF1 allows traders to seamlessly copy trades across different proprietary firm accounts within a single platform, offering increased flexibility and a broader range of opportunities. This means that, in addition to FundingPips’ internal copy trading feature, PF1 empowers users to manage trades across multiple firms, enhancing scalability and trading efficiency without breaching FundingPips’ core rules. For more details on this enhanced functionality, visit PropFirmOne.com.

Additional Comments:

Copy Trading:

  • Copy trading is not allowed between E8 evaluation accounts, as each evaluation must be traded independently; however, you may copy trades between your own personal account, E8 Trader accounts, or between a funded and evaluation account, provided the trades originate from your own accounts.

EAs:

  • Allowed, you can also use any EA (Expert Advisor) as long as we don't see multiple users executing the same trades/strategy. We limit one strategy per user, so if we see multiple users utilize the same EA, it may lead to the termination of your account. So even though the use of third-party EA is allowed, we recommend that each user use their own programmed EA.

The Risk team may request EA source code at any time for review.
  • Note: EAs are strictly prohibited on Direct Model(Instant Funding) accounts.

Copy Trading

  • Copy trading is permitted only between Hola Prime accounts (both challenge and funded) owned by the same individual. Copying from external accounts or between accounts owned by different people is strictly prohibited.
