Allows DCA

DCA, or Dollar Cost Averaging is a term that prop firms have borrowed incorrectly from the long term investment community, and it means averaging into a position or adding more to a losing trade or even to a winning trade. If a firm does not allow this, which is a perfectly fine trading technique or style to use for any trader, be slightly suspect of the firm. Adding to a losing position is in general not a good strategy but institutions are doing this all the time so as not to move the market when they want to get into a large position. It seems silly to limit retail traders, especially when they can use a few micros instead of a mini and average in to manage risk.
