    Review whether the guardrail worked before removing it.

Can pre-market planners use this inside a funded challenge?

Possibly, but only if the provider rules allow the behavior. A plan should include no-trade conditions as clearly as trade conditions.

What should I check before applying the tutorial?

Check the official provider rules, drawdown limits, payout terms, market availability, platform conditions, and your own risk limits before trading.
