Account variants

Swing account
8.5 / 10 (variant)

Removes the news-trading window and weekend-holding restriction. Same drawdown, targets, platforms and profit split as standard; costs slightly more.

$599 for $100K (vs $540 standard — ~11% premium)

Bot notes

The longest-running name in the space. EAs fine, but tick-scalping and latency-style strategies banned, and news trading restricted on standard funded accounts (2-min window around red-folder events). Swing account type lifts news and weekend limits.
