At FundedTigers we accept almost all trading practices however we are looking for professional traders who understand how to manage large capital and manage risk. We are not looking for gamblers, or traders looking to manipulate the system. Below are the practices / strategies we do not allow. As a result of being an HFT friendly firm, we do understand we have stricter rules than most, but this is due to our elevated risk of not being able to assess a traders behavior prior to entering the funding stage.
Copy Trading
You cannot use signals, copy trading, group trading or any other activity that would result in the same trades from other traders.
Reverse Trading / Group Hedging
Hedging or executing reverse trades within a single account is permissible however doing it across different accounts and account owners is not accepted. You cannot open a sell trade on one account and a buy trade on the other of the same pair.

Choosing an interval, such as 5 pips, 25 pips, or 50 pips.
Determining whether the grid will be with-the-trend or against the trend.
Adding on trades as it goes into draw down

Having 2 trades open at a time is not considered as stacking or layering , however, once there are 3 or more positions open for the same instrument, in the same direction. You will lose your funded account. An example being you open 3 XAU BUY trades without closing any of the prior ones.
