What Rules Apply to Signal Providers?

Followme places the highest priority on protecting the safety of followers’ funds. To ensure fair, transparent, and consistent trading practices, all signal providers are required to comply with the rules outlined below. Violations of these standards may result in penalties, including suspension or permanent removal from Followme.

These rules apply primarily to forex currency trading. Other instruments such as gold, crude oil, or CFDs are subject to relative standards specific to their instrument type.

What Trading Rules Must Followme Signal Providers Follow?

• Maintain Stable Account Connection: Signal providers must not modify or reset their MT4 account password while followers have open positions. Any password change that causes disconnection from Followme during active trades is strictly prohibited.
• Comply with Trade Execution Rules: Partial closing of positions is prohibited, and hedging trades are also not allowed. Engaging in either practice may result in signal loss or financial discrepancies between provider and follower accounts.
• Pending Orders and Risk Parameters: Limit orders (Buy Limit, Sell Limit) placed by signal providers will not be copied until executed as market orders. Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) values are not copied simultaneously, so providers must manage trades carefully to avoid risk gaps for followers.
• Trade Only Supported Symbols: Tradable symbols differ across brokers, and Followme supports over 350 standard symbols including forex, metals, commodities, and stock indexes. Non-standard symbols are not supported for copy trading.
• Malicious Operations: Followme strictly prohibits malicious trading operations that endanger followers’ accounts. Signal providers who engage in such behavior may have subscription fees deducted and may be permanently banned from Followme services.
• Provide a Clear Trading Strategy: Trading strategy descriptions must match actual trading behavior. Clear communication helps build trust, improve ranking on the platform, and reduce unexpected trading behavior.
• Control Overall Drawdown: Maximum floating loss should not exceed total historical profit for accounts with sufficient records. This helps maintain a balanced and sustainable trading strategy over time.
• Use Stop Loss on Every Trade: Setting a stop loss is mandatory, and maximum loss per trade should not exceed 700 pips. Proper stop loss usage helps protect follower accounts and improve signal quality.
• Avoid the Following Strategies: Strategies with near 100% win rates are discouraged because they may hide risks and lead to large losses over time. Scalp trading is also not recommended due to execution differences and price discrepancies across brokers.
• Trade Within Market Hours: Trades must be executed within valid market trading hours based on the broker being used. Trading outside these hours is not supported and may affect order execution reliability.

Followme Risk Control and Account Protection Policy

• Fund Safety Priority: Followme regards the safety of followers’ funds as its highest priority and continuously monitors high-risk trading behaviors that may affect follower accounts.
• Malicious Trading Actions: If a signal provider engages in malicious or abnormal trading activities, Followme may deduct subscription fees or restrict platform access.
• Rule Violation Response: When trading rules are violated, Followme may take protective actions, including automatic MT4 disconnection, with reconnection available via the account management page.
• Account Restriction Conditions: Accounts may be permanently restricted due to repeated suspensions, malicious actions causing losses (such as password changes), or disconnection from Followme for more than 72 hours.
