Am I allowed to trade manually on the strategy contest?
As the strategy contest is intended for automated strategies, the manual trading is strongly prohibited. However, the participants can close positions manually in exceptional cases and under the condition that the total volume of manually transacted trades is less than 10% of the total trading volume.
In my opinion, manually closing of trade positions should be allowed if, in the opinion of the contestant, the account is in danger of margin call due to too many orders being opened by signal provider.
