Short answer
Yes. Copy trading between your own UZO accounts is allowed, and automation in general (EAs and bots) is allowed. There are two lines you cannot cross. Copying between different people's accounts is prohibited, own accounts only. And copying may not be used to run a prohibited strategy, meaning anything that games the simulation, such as latency or HFT arbitrage and tick exploits.
UZO does not judge you by the tools you use. We look at the behaviour. A clean strategy stays clean whether you trade it by hand on one account or mirror it across several of your own. A strategy that exploits the feed stays prohibited no matter how you wire it up.
Own-account copy trading: allowed
If the trades originate from you, copying them is welcome. That includes running the same strategy across your own UZO accounts and mirroring fills from your personal live or simulated account into a UZO account. There is no rule against it, and it does not count against you on any product (One Step, Two Step, Instant, Instant Pro, or Instant 24h).
This sits alongside our wider automation stance. Expert advisors, bots, and custom indicators are all permitted when they run a genuine strategy of your own with distinctive settings, on accounts you personally own. So is news trading, holding overnight, and trading on weekends where the product allows it. What we do not allow is an off-the-shelf configuration that many different traders run identically, since that is really a signal service in disguise rather than your own trading. The method is yours to choose, as long as it is genuinely yours.
Copying across your own accounts
Traders who hold more than one UZO account often want a single master strategy driving all of them. That is allowed. A few things to keep in mind so it stays smooth.
Each account is evaluated on its own. Drawdown is measured on equity, including open and floating profit and loss, and the daily limit resets at 00:00 UTC. Targets and the trailing drawdown apply per account, not across your portfolio, so a copied trade that is comfortable on a large account can still breach a smaller one.
Mirrored sizing matters. If you copy fixed lot sizes into accounts of different balances, the risk per account changes. Size to each account, not to the master.
Prices are real and live on every account, so each copied entry fills against current market conditions at the moment it is placed, not a shared snapshot.
Where copying crosses into prohibited territory
There are two ways copying crosses the line. The first is whose accounts are involved. Copying is limited to accounts you personally own. Copy trading between different people's accounts is prohibited outright, and it sits in our highest severity tier, whether or not the underlying strategy is clean. Own accounts only.
The second is what you copy. Copying may not be used to run banned conduct. The prohibited list is narrow and specific: latency or HFT arbitrage, tick exploits and tick scalping, and anything else built to game the simulation rather than trade the market. If several accounts are wired together to exploit the price feed, for example to harvest a pricing latency at scale, that is prohibited as well. If a strategy would be banned on one account, copying it onto ten does not make it allowed.
What about third-party signal providers?
Copying from your own account is allowed. Copying from an outside signal provider or a commercial copy-trade service is not, because those trades do not originate from you. Signal services, and copying between different people's accounts, are on the prohibited list.

Staying compliant
A simple way to stay on the right side of the rules.
Trade a real strategy. If your edge comes from the market, copying it is fine.
Keep the source yours. Own-account copying, with your own genuine settings, is clearly allowed.
Avoid the banned list. No latency or HFT arbitrage, no tick exploits, nothing engineered to game the feed.
Do not use external signal services, and do not copy between different people's accounts. Both are prohibited.
The payoff
Trade your edge with the tools you prefer, and when you win the reward split is one of the best available and it is uniform. You keep 90% on every product, One Step, Two Step, Instant, Instant Pro and Instant 24h, at every account size. The same generous 90/10 everywhere, with nothing hidden in the small print.
