Taurus publishes CME, CBOT, and COMEX instrument lists in the help center. A NYMEX article is referenced in related links, but no mirrored English NYMEX instrument list was available at the time of review, so NYMEX support remains unconfirmed here.

Taurus publishes a restricted-country list and says traders from those countries cannot participate. If an account is accessed from a restricted country, it may be suspended or terminated. Taurus also says VPN, proxy, or IP masking tools used to bypass restrictions are strictly prohibited and can result in permanent account termination without a refund. Citizens of restricted countries who live in eligible countries may participate if they can provide valid proof of residency.

Execution-related costs such as commissions, per-contract fees, data fees, spreads, swaps, and other trading costs; plan purchase fees and activation fees are shown separately.

General Policies
Algorithm & EA Policy
Automated or AI-driven trading is strictly prohibited, including trading bots, AI or automated strategies, and high-frequency trading.
Taurus says it uses advanced monitoring to detect algorithmic and high-frequency patterns, even when they are disguised as manual trading, and reserves the right to sanction based on strong suspicion without requiring a confirmed violation. Consequences include immediate account termination, cancellation of pending withdrawals, and a permanent ban.
Copy Trading

Taurus allows Volumetrica's built-in trade copier only across accounts owned by the same user. Copying trades from third-party accounts is not allowed. Taurus also allows community/group trading during the Evaluation phase, but Profit Accounts require independent trading by the registered owner from their own device, location, and IP address.

Microscalping Policy
No explicit microscalping restriction found; cited educational content presents scalping as a standard strategy.
Bots Policy

No dedicated bot or automation-policy article surfaced in the reviewed official Taurus materials.

Allowed Trading Hours
Standard futures trading window is Sunday to Friday, 6:00 PM to 5:00 PM Eastern Time, with a mandatory daily break from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM ET. Taurus generally requires traders to close positions before the 5:00 PM ET maintenance break; holding beyond that cutoff can lead to account failure.
Weekend Holding Policy

Not allowed. This seems standard for futures-oriented prop firms.

Move to Live Criteria

Taurus says Profit Account traders who maintain consistent performance and successfully complete four consecutive full withdrawals at the account's monthly limit may be invited to transition from a simulated PA to a real account with access to live markets. Taurus may also contact traders before their fourth payout request to discuss a potential real-account management agreement, and Taurus retains final discretion over the transition terms.

Rule Enforcement Notes

Taurus says severe violations can lead to account deactivation, payout cancellation, and a permanent ban without reinstatement. Published examples include multiple email addresses, Martingale and other high-risk strategies, HFT/AI/bot trading, one-tick trades, gambling-based strategies, arbitrage, system glitches, failing to manage your own account, residential-address limits, IP restrictions, and prohibited technologies such as VPS, proxies, or IP masking.

Refund Policy

All purchases are final and non-refundable. Terminated accounts forfeit fees paid.

Activation Fee Policy

Frees includes all costs upfront and has no PA activation fee. Prime uses lower monthly challenge pricing plus a one-time $119 PA activation fee after a passed evaluation.

VPN Policy
Taurus says VPN, proxy, and IP-masking tools are strictly prohibited when used to bypass country restrictions or other platform rules, and their use can lead to permanent account termination without a refund.
Payment Methods
Credit/Debit Card Crypto
Payout Methods

Taurus uses account-type-specific payout rules. PA traders withdraw real profit from simulated accounts, subject to minimum and maximum payout thresholds and rule compliance. Taurus also says payouts are reviewed for compliance before approval, and Frees/Prime accounts have defined special-window and outside-window payout workflows.
