Copy Trading & Allocation Rule

• Traders are permitted to copy trades only between accounts personally owned by them, including brokerage or other prop firm accounts
• Total Max Allocation
  • $400,000 (includes all Evaluation, Qualified Trader & QT Instant accounts).
  • Under $400,000: You can hold multiple accounts. Copy trading and using the same strategy across accounts is allowed.
  • $400,000 or Above: You can still hold multiple accounts. Copy trading or using the same strategy is NOT allowed. Each account must have a different strategy and trade different instruments.
  • Breaching this rule results in account termination and forfeiture of profits.
• Extra Accounts Beyond Allocation: Must remain inactive (“parked”) until active accounts breach limits.
• QT Instant Funding: Max allocation: $99,000
• Users can only have one 100k Instant Funded Account, this account will be exempt from the $99,000 Max Allocation for Instant. Although they cannot copy trade or use the same strategy between any accounts.
• Violating the QT Instant max allocation or copying trades beyond $99,000 = forfeited profit + breached accounts.
• QT Instant allocation also counts toward the $400,000 overall cap.
• QTFunded's 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 QTFunded’s internal copy trading feature, PF1 empowers users to manage trades across multiple firms, enhancing scalability and trading efficiency without breaching QTFunded’s core rules.
