FTMO runs MT4/MT5-based evaluations and funded accounts. Its Forbidden Trading Practices page governs third-party access and third-party trading; its FAQ covers Expert Advisors.
Each value is a paraphrase of the firm's own policy page and is marked for re-verification before you rely on it. {{TODO: verify each firm-policy row against the linked source before merge}}.
| Policy area | Position | What the firm's page says |
|---|---|---|
| Copying your own trading between your own accounts | Conditional | FTMO's Forbidden Trading Practices bar third parties accessing your account or performing trades for you. Executing your own strategy across your own accounts is a firm-policy question — confirm with FTMO before relying on it. (source) |
| Third-party signals / copying others | Restricted | FTMO's rules prohibit engaging a third party to perform trades for you or in coordination with you; using a third-party service so that others run the same trades risks denial of the FTMO Account. (source) |
| Expert Advisors (EAs) | Conditional | FTMO's FAQ warns that using a third-party EA — where other traders run exactly the same strategy — carries a risk of being denied the FTMO Account if you exceed the maximum capital allocation rule. (source) |
| Account management by others | Prohibited | FTMO states you must not allow any third party to access or otherwise use your FTMO Account, and must not trade on any other person's FTMO Account. (source) |
