FXVoro’s stance
Automation is a tool, not a free pass. On Instant, Expert Advisors and semi-automated workflows are acceptable only when they take genuine market risk, respect all Instant limits and live conduct rules (including the 3-minute minimum hold and pair layering), and do not exploit simulation mechanics.
- Allowed in principle: systematic strategies that obey hold time, layering, 4% / 8% risk limits, and weekend policy.
- Not allowed: latency arbitrage, tick scalping that depends on feed imperfections, quote stuffing / toxic patterns, or any design whose edge is the simulator rather than the market.
- You remain responsible for every EA trade as if you clicked it yourself.
An EA that closes at 90 seconds still breaches the 3-minute rule. Automation does not create exemptions — and Instant has no evaluation phase where short holds are ignored.
Integrity review
Because Instant skips evaluation, automated Instant accounts may receive closer integrity scrutiny. Suspicious fill patterns, impossible reaction times relative to the feed, or repeated micro-hold behavior can lead to breach, voided rewards, or account closure.
Configure minimum hold, max positions per pair, and weekend flatten logic before you go live. Fixing an EA after a breach does not reverse a hard fail.
