Are Setting my own Rules an Absolute Requirement in The Gauntlet™ / Gauntlet Mini™?

There is a field when you set up The Gauntlet™, that will ask you to enter your own rules. You should submit a trading plan. We highly recommend this as it is best practice to follow a trading plan. However, breaking one of these rules does not result in getting disqualified or cut off from The Gauntlet™ - it is meant to help you stick to your trading plan.
