Trading Rules and Restricted Trading Practices

Updated over 3 weeks ago

All-or-Nothing Trading:


Risking your entire account balance on a single trade is not allowed. Extremely high-risk trading practices violate our terms and will result in account termination.


Copy Trading Policy

Simulating trades that replicate those of another trader or group of traders across multiple accounts is strictly prohibited. Similarly, using marketplace-purchased Expert Advisors (EAs) designed for copy trading is not allowed.

Allowed Copy Trading Scenarios:

  • Copy trading between Aeon Funded accounts is permitted, provided:

    • The execution direction (e.g., buy/sell) is the same across all copied accounts.

    • All accounts involved are verified Aeon Funded accounts.

    • Copy trading is performed manually and not through automated systems or EAs.

  • Copy trading with other prop firms is allowed only if:

    • An Aeon Funded account serves as the master account.

    • Before activation, you submit proof (e.g., screenshots, logs, or configuration evidence) demonstrating that the Aeon Funded account is configured as the master account. Approval is required from our team.

Failure to comply may result in account suspension or termination. Always ensure transparency and adherence to these guidelines to maintain fair trading practices.


​Tick Scalping:


Tick scalping refers to a trading strategy that involves making numerous small trades in a short period, often holding positions for mere seconds or minutes, to capitalize on small price movements.

Minimum Holding Time:

To avoid tick scalping, a minimum holding time of 3 minutes (3m) is enforced for all positions.

  • This rule applies universally, including both profitable and losing trades.

  • Trades closed before the 3-minute minimum holding time may be subject to profit voidance or further account review.


Reverse Trading/Group Hedging:


Simulated hedging or executing reverse trades within a single demo account is permitted. However, placing a simulated buy trade in one demo account while simultaneously placing a simulated sell trade in another demo account is prohibited. This violates our policies on reverse trading or cross-account simulated hedging.


Group hedging occurs when individuals coordinate opposing positions across one or more accounts at proprietary or simulated proprietary firms to minimize or eliminate risk, often exploiting firm rules. This practice is strictly forbidden.


Account Management Services:


Purchasing or offering account management services for live or demo accounts, as well as participating in services to pass challenges for a proprietary or simulated proprietary firm, is strictly prohibited.

Sharing your demo account information or allowing someone else to pass a challenge on your behalf is also not allowed. Violations will result in the termination of all affected demo accounts.


Expert Advisors (EAs) Policy

The use of Expert Advisors (EAs) is strictly prohibited. No form of EAs, including third-party or custom-programmed EAs, is allowed under any circumstances. This includes any EAs that enable automation of trading strategies or copy trading.

  • Prohibited Actions: Using any EA to execute trades or strategies will result in account termination.

  • Compliance: Traders must rely solely on manual trading to ensure compliance with our policies.

  • Server Request Limit: Traders are limited to 250 server requests per day, including take-profit (TP), stop-loss (SL) modifications, and order adjustments.

  • Daily Position Limit: A maximum of 250 positions per day is permitted.

Failure to adhere to these guidelines will lead to account suspension or termination. Always prioritize manual trading and adhere to the server request and position limits to maintain fair trading practices.


High-Frequency Trading (HFT):


High-frequency trading (HFT) is strictly prohibited. Engaging in HFT practices will be considered a violation, and associated demo accounts will be terminated.


Irresponsible Trading in Simulated Accounts:


Placing large-volume trades without a coherent strategy, or neglecting fundamental market analysis and risk management, is considered misuse of the simulated trading environment. This behavior will be penalized as it fails to produce meaningful trading data.
