Which instruments should a challenge allow?

Question

Accepted Answer

Allow instruments your audience trades and your price feed covers well: major forex pairs, gold, main stock indices and often oil and Bitcoin. Restrict thinly traded or very volatile instruments, or put them on a separate account type with tighter leverage.
A practical approach:
Core list: major and minor forex pairs, gold, the main US and European indices.
Extras: silver, oil, natural gas, crypto, exotics.
Restrictions: exotic pairs and crypto often carry lower leverage.
Consider the feed's trading hours too: crypto trades at weekends, most others do not.
On PropExecutor, an allowed instruments rule restricts each rule set to a chosen list, and orders on anything else are refused. The default feed covers 28 major and cross pairs, several exotics (including USD/MXN, USD/ZAR and USD/TRY), gold, silver, palladium, WTI and Brent crude, natural gas, twelve stock indices, Bitcoin and Ether.
### Check trading hours
Indices and energies have daily breaks, and crypto trades all weekend. Make sure your rules, such as weekend holding and trading hours, make sense for every instrument you allow.
List every allowed instrument on the rules page, with any leverage differences, so traders can check before they buy rather than discovering a refused order mid-trade.
