What the firm says

Take Profit Trader and automated trading

  • The terms look for “discretionary traders, not robots”: autonomous robots and very short-term algorithmic trading fail the account.
  • Third-party copiers and automation tools tolerated at your own risk; copying your own trades between your accounts is allowed.
  • Terms not consulted directly: quotes taken from two integrators, to be confirmed with support.
