Are there any restrictions on my trading strategy?

2 min. readlast update: 03.23.2026

Brisk Markets allows a wide range of trading strategies, including manual trading and EAs. However, traders must maintain a consistent strategy between the Challenge and Funded Account and avoid any abusive or exploitative practices.


Trading Strategy Flexibility

At Brisk Markets, you are free to trade using your preferred style:

  • Manual trading
  • Expert Advisors (EAs)
  • Custom indicators
  • News trading strategies

There are no restrictions on strategy type, as long as all trading rules are respected.


Strategy Consistency Requirement

To ensure fair evaluation and professional trading behavior, traders must maintain consistency in their strategy.

This means:

  • The strategy used during the Challenge (Phase 1 & Phase 2) should be continued in the Funded Account
  • Sudden or significant changes in trading behavior may trigger a review

Examples of Prohibited Strategy Changes

The following are not allowed:

  • Switching from manual trading to EAs (or vice versa) after passing the Challenge
  • Changing from one trading style to a completely different system after funding
  • Using one strategy to pass the Challenge and another to trade the funded account

Asset & Risk Consistency

Traders must also maintain consistency in:

  • Instruments traded (e.g. Forex, Gold, Indices)
  • Risk exposure and lot sizing
  • Overall trading behavior

Example

  • A trader passes the Challenge trading EUR/USD with moderate risk
  • After funding, they switch to high-risk trading on Gold (XAU/USD)

➡️ This may be considered inconsistent and high-risk behavior and could lead to account review.


Prohibited Trading Practices

While strategy flexibility is allowed, the following are strictly forbidden:

  • Arbitrage trading
  • Latency exploitation
  • Tick scalping
  • Hedging across multiple accounts
  • Copy trading between different users
  • Account sharing

Any attempt to exploit platform conditions or gain unfair advantage is prohibited.


Monitoring & Enforcement

All accounts are monitored by the Risk Management Team.

If unusual or inconsistent behavior is detected:

  • The account may be reviewed
  • Profits may be adjusted or denied
  • The account may be suspended or terminated

Important Note

Brisk Markets is an evaluation-based model designed to identify consistent and disciplined traders.

Maintaining a stable and coherent trading strategy is essential for:

  • Passing the Challenge
  • Retaining your Funded Account
  • Receiving payouts
