General Policies
Algorithm & EA Policy
EAs (Expert Advisors) are allowed as long as no multiple users execute the same trades/strategy (one strategy per user). Third-party EAs are permitted but they recommend using self-programmed ones. For futures, semi-automated or fully automated trading like bots, AI tools, or HFT (over 300 trades/day) is prohibited. Martingale is allowed if not prohibited otherwise.
Microscalping Policy
HFT-reduction rules apply: >50% of trades cannot be under 1 minute, and at least 50% of profits must come from trades held at least 10 seconds.
Allowed Trading Hours
Permitted trading hours for Signature Futures are 17:00 to 15:10 CT, with forced close of all open positions at 15:10 CT daily.
VPN Policy
Generally treated as VPN-permissive in public rule summaries; no explicit blanket prohibition identified. Use should still be legitimate and not for location evasion or rule bypass.
