Industry, legal and operations

# Account sharing

Letting someone else trade your account, or trading an account belonging to someone else. It defeats the purpose of an assessment of an individual, and it is prohibited everywhere in the industry without exception.

GFN’s figure

Account sharing is prohibited trading on a GFN account, as are third-party account-management and challenge-passing services. Keep dashboard, trading and payout credentials private - GFN will not ask for your password.

- **Someone else trading your account**: Prohibited
- **Paying a service to pass for you**: Prohibited
- **Trades placed after sharing credentials**: Remain your responsibility

In detail

## Account sharing, explained

The evaluation assesses a person, so the account has to be traded by that person. Everything downstream - the payout, the identity check, the contract - assumes the same individual throughout.

The credentials are the trader's responsibility. Trades placed after login details are shared remain the account holder's, which makes sharing a risk to the account before it is a rules problem.

## Terms that come with it

Most rules only make sense next to the ones they interact with. These are the entries this one depends on.

- [Prohibited trading](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/prohibited-trading) - Activity a firm bans because it targets the trading environment rather than the market. It covers exploiting errors and pricing delays, coordinated trading between accounts, and third-party account management.
- [Copy trading](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/copy-trading) - Replicating trades from one account to another automatically. Copying between your own accounts is a scaling tool; copying another person's trades, or letting them trade yours, is a different activity entirely.
- [KYC](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/kyc) - The process of confirming who owns an account, using identity documents and supporting information. It is required before money moves, and it is the most common cause of a delayed first payout.
- [Account suspension](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/account-suspension) - A temporary restriction on trading or payouts while a firm reviews an account. It is not the same as a breach: the account still exists, but progression and withdrawals are paused pending the outcome.
- [Trade copier](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/trade-copier) - Software that mirrors orders from a source account to one or more destination accounts, scaling position size to each. It is the mechanism behind copy trading and multi-account management.
