Permitted trading activities

These permissions apply to Boxcar Eval and simulated-funded accounts. Every strategy must stay within the account's loss, position-size, session and conduct rules. Live accounts follow their separate live terms.

You may enter or exit positions around scheduled or unscheduled news on BoxcarPrime, BoxcarScale, BoxcarFunded and the BoxcarPayout Eval.

BoxcarPayout simulated-funded accounts are the exception: remain flat from one minute before through one minute after high-impact USD news. Opening or holding a position during that window is a hard breach.

News can cause rapid price changes, slippage and unexpected order behavior. You remain responsible for the outcome and for staying within your account limits.

You may add to positions in stages or use dollar-cost averaging (DCA). Boxcar does not prohibit an entry method simply because it scales into a position; the combined position and losses must remain within your account limits.

Martingale-style additions to losing positions are permitted within those limits but strongly discouraged because they can rapidly increase risk. They do not create extra position size or drawdown allowance.

Short-term entries and exits are allowed when they reflect realistic execution and market behavior. The microscalping rules still apply; exploiting simulated fills, delayed prices or system behavior is prohibited.

Run your own automated strategies and copy trades across your own Boxcar accounts. Built-in and third-party copiers are allowed. You may run your software on a VPS or your own computer.

Each account keeps its own risk limits. You remain responsible for software errors, malfunctions, duplicate orders, disconnections and unintended trades; using automation does not excuse a rule breach.

Flipping is allowed: you may briefly open and close a trade solely to meet a minimum trading-day requirement. That purpose is not itself a rule violation; the trade must still follow your account's trading rules.

A trading day and a qualifying profit day are different requirements. A quick trade does not replace a minimum daily profit, cycle profit goal or any other payout condition. For example, BoxcarScale still requires its size-based minimum profit on each qualifying profit day.
