The platform is not the rulebook
MetaTrader, cTrader, Tradovate and a firm’s own web terminal display a balance. The contract is still the firm’s page.
Traders choose a challenge because it offers the platform they already use. That is a real constraint, and the finder can exclude a product that names a different platform. It is not evidence the rules are familiar. Two MetaTrader challenges can have opposite news rules. A Tradovate account and a Match-Trader account can both be simulated.
Where the captured page did not name a platform, the record says so. FTMO’s objectives page did not. Topstep’s articles mention a dashboard and NinjaTrader without saying those are the only doors. ‘Not named’ is not ‘all of them’.
