At KeyStone Funded, our evaluation programs are designed to identify traders who demonstrate genuine skill, consistency, and professional risk management.

Any trading activity intended to exploit platform limitations, manipulate evaluation results, or generate artificial, risk-free profits is strictly prohibited.

All evaluation and funded accounts must be traded as though they were managing real capital.

Failure to comply with this policy may result in account termination, cancellation of profits, payout denial, and permanent removal from all KeyStone Funded programs.

Coordinating multiple traders or accounts to execute substantially identical trades—including similar instruments, entry prices, timing, and position sizes—for the purpose of influencing evaluation outcomes.
