Automation and copiers are allowed
You may run automated strategies and copy trades across your own Boxcar accounts. Every account must still follow its own drawdown, Daily Loss Limit, position-size, session, and news rules.
A copier does not combine your accounts into one balance or one risk limit. A trade that fits the lead account may be too large for a smaller follower or a BoxcarScale account on a lower scaling tier.
Before switching it on
You remain responsible for orders placed by your software, including duplicate entries, disconnections, and unexpected fills.
- Check the account selected by each strategy and copier follower.
- Set position sizes for each account’s current allowance.
- Keep all accounts aligned with the hedging rules; opposite positions can occur if one follower misses an exit or entry.
- Apply the session cutoff and any BoxcarPayout funded news windows to every follower.
- Know how to stop new entries and flatten positions if the software behaves unexpectedly.
Other permitted trading methods
Scaling into a position and dollar-cost averaging are allowed within your limits. Repeatedly adding to losing positions increases risk and is discouraged; it does not expand your position or drawdown allowance.
A short-duration trade can count toward a minimum trading-day requirement if it is a genuine trade that follows all other rules. It does not replace a required minimum daily profit. Genuine scalping is allowed; high-frequency exploitation and prohibited microscalping are not.
