Automation Rules and Your Responsibility
How automated strategies, copy trading, and AI agents work on Funded with Flow, and why every order they place is still your responsibility under your account rules.
Automation on Funded with Flow lets you run scheduled algo strategies, copy other traders, and connect an AI agent, but every order it places is still your order. You are responsible for what your automation does, and it must follow the exact same account rules as trading by hand.
You set up and manage all of this from the Algorithmic Trading page.
Your automation follows the same rules
An automated trade counts against your account just like a manual one. The same limits apply no matter what placed the order:
- Your daily loss limit and your maximum drawdown
- The exposure or margin cap on No Drawdown plans
- Contract and position size limits, maximum hold time, and maximum allocation risk per position
These figures vary by plan and are shown on each plan card on the Pricing page and in your account on the Accounts page. If a hard rule is breached, the account can be failed or liquidated even if an algo, a copied trader, or an AI agent placed the trade. Watch how a strategy behaves and keep an eye on your open risk on the Dashboard.
Safeguards help, but you stay in control
Automation includes safeguards, such as auto pause when an account is not tradable, so a strategy will not keep firing into an account that cannot accept trades. Those safeguards are a backstop, not a substitute for your own oversight. It is still on you to review a strategy before you schedule it, to monitor it while it runs, and to pause or stop it if it is not behaving the way you expect.
You are responsible for what you run
This responsibility covers everything you connect:
- Strategies you build and schedule
- Traders you choose to copy
- AI agents you connect through MCP, whether you grant read only or trade execution access
Grant trade execution access carefully, and only to an agent you trust, because it can place real orders on your account. Prohibited behaviour such as market manipulation and abusive strategies applies to automated activity too. Please read the Trading Rules and the Acceptable Use Policy, and keep the Risk Disclosure in mind, since automated strategies can lose money.
If you have a question about your specific account or a strategy tied to it, email [email protected] and we will help.
