What this means for a systematic strategy
TX3 is a conventional two-phase rulebook (10% room, 5% daily on an end-of-day equity basis) with two rows that constrain a coded strategy: EAs are an add-on rather than a default, and news on funded accounts is an add-on as well. The 40% consistency check at payout is loose by CFD standards but still binds a strategy that makes its cycle in one session.
Is TX3 Funding (ex-TopTier Trader) worth it for a systematic strategy?
Workable with the EA add-on and a news filter. Buy the add-ons at checkout rather than discovering them at funding, and confirm the current platform list under the TX3 name.
