General Policies
Algorithm & EA Policy
EAs and algorithmic trading are allowed on 1 Phase, 2 Phase, and Rapid accounts, but are prohibited on Instant Funding accounts.
On eligible accounts, DNA Funded allows EAs and algos but prohibits HFT, reverse arbitrage, hedging, copy trading from non-DNA accounts, and additional funded-stage abuses such as latency arbitrage, news scalping, reverse hedging, hedge arbitrage, tick scalping, grid trading, martingale, and one-sided betting.
Copy Trading
Not allowed

Instant Funding accounts prohibit EAs and algos. One Phase, Two Phase, and Rapid accounts allow EAs and algos, but prohibit copy trading from non-DNA accounts and other abusive strategies such as HFT, reverse arbitrage, hedging across accounts, grid trading, martingale, and one-sided betting.

Microscalping Policy
Tick scalping and news scalping are prohibited in the funded stage.
Bots Policy

Bots and algos are allowed only on selected challenge models and are prohibited on Instant Funding accounts. Funded-stage exploitative strategies remain prohibited.

DCA Policy

No explicit DCA or martingale policy surfaced in the current official materials reviewed for this firm.

Allowed Trading Hours
Weekend trading is allowed for cryptocurrencies. For other products, traders may trade news except during the restricted window of 10 minutes before and after major high-impact events marked in red on the FXStreet calendar.
Move to Live Criteria

DNA Funded's public flow is buy a challenge, demonstrate your skills within the challenge rules, and then gain access to a funded trading account. Instant Funding is offered as a separate model with its own restrictions.

Rule Enforcement Notes

DNA Funded says failed KYC closes the account with no refund, prohibited funded-stage strategies result in account breach, and security or fair-use violations can lead to suspension or termination.

Refund Policy

No dedicated broad refund-policy article surfaced in the reviewed official DNA Funded materials. The official FAQ and site focus more on payout methods, fees, and KYC consequences than on a separate general cancellation page.

Activation Fee Policy

DNA Funded says it does not charge ongoing monthly fees and instead uses one-time payments for evaluations and challenges. No separate funded-account activation fee surfaced in the official materials reviewed.

VPN Policy
DNA Funded expects consistent IP usage and says frequent IP changes may trigger security reviews. It also prohibits multiple accounts on the same or related IPs unless a specific add-on allows that setup.
Payout Methods

First payout becomes available after 14 days in the live funded stage, with an optional Early Payout Booster reducing this to 7 days. Minimum withdrawal amount is 100 USD after profit split.
