Risk Protection Measures

Engaging in prohibited trading practices will result in removal from our program, along with a refund of the fees paid for the account where the violation occurred. Before assigning an Aeon Trader simulated account, we will review your trading activity to ensure compliance with our policies. Non-compliance may lead to denial of an Aeon Trader simulated account or termination of an existing account, including forfeiture of any accrued profits.

If prohibited practices are detected, we reserve the right to limit your trading strategy risk to a maximum of 1.75% per trading idea or timeframe. This rule is enforced to eliminate harmful behaviors and encourage responsible trading practices.

To maintain the integrity and stability of our trading environment, traders must demonstrate consistent trading practices. If a trader's approach shows signs of extreme behavior, their trading activity may be subject to review by our risk management team, who might require longer-term consistency.

In such cases, traders will need to provide additional trading history to demonstrate that profits are derived from a sustainable and consistent strategy. Specifically, traders must operate for an extended period with a long-term approach, avoiding "all-or-nothing" behaviors.

If a trader fails to show a consistent and sustainable trading strategy, Aeon Markets reserves the right to impose trading restrictions, terminate the agreement, or withhold payouts.

These updated policies are designed to promote responsible trading while ensuring the integrity and fairness of our trading platform.

Users are allowed to simulate trades on news events during Phase 1 and Phase 2 of evaluations across all account types. However, since our simulated platform mirrors real markets, users must be aware of the risks associated with slippage.

Trading based on news is not a direct violation of Aeon's rules during the evaluation phase, but slippage, similar to real markets, may occur. If slippage results in a violation of maximum loss rules, the user is held accountable. Aeon cannot guarantee profits generated during high-risk news events or shield users from losses due to execution issues or slippage on the simulated platform.

On Aeon Trader accounts, a news restriction period is enforced during high-impact news releases. This restriction starts 5 minutes before the scheduled release and ends 5 minutes after.

Prohibited Actions During News Restriction Period:
a. Opening new trades (market/limit orders).
b. Closing trades (market/limit orders).
c. Modifying Stop Loss or Take Profit.
d. Placing Buy Stop or Sell Stop orders.

If any prohibited actions are executed within this 10-minute window, any profits earned during this period will be voided. However, this will not result in an account violation. Trades placed at least 8 hours prior to the news release are not subject to the restriction.

Important Notes:
Trading on news events, including strategies like directional trading, straddles, or taking advantage of initial market movements, is not permitted. Trades on unaffected instruments are unrestricted.

Here is the list of instruments and macroeconomic events subject to restrictions during high-impact news releases:

Instruments:

You may use tools like algorithms, Expert Advisors (EAs), bots, and indicators, provided each user adheres to a single, unique strategy. If multiple users execute identical trades or strategies using the same EA, accounts may be terminated. While third-party EAs are allowed, we recommend that users program their own EAs.

Key Limits:

Yes, users can keep simulated positions open overnight during all evaluation phases, including Aeon Trader accounts. However, users must be aware of potential market risks, such as gaps, slippage, or spread widening during the rollover period.

Traders are responsible for assessing the risks and benefits of holding positions overnight. Any rule violations caused by these conditions remain the user's responsibility.

Yes, to ensure realistic market conditions, the maximum lot size per ticket is limited to 50 lots (20 for XAUUSD). Larger positions must be split into multiple orders.

Additional restrictions include:

No, we do not require the use of Stop Loss or Take Profit orders. However, data shows that traders using Stop Loss tend to perform better over the long term, so its use is strongly recommended.

Yes, users can maintain open positions over the weekend during all evaluation phases, including Aeon Trader accounts. However, be aware of market gaps and risks associated with instruments that do not trade during weekend hours, such as Forex pairs, Indices, and Commodities.

No, there are no consistency rules.

All accounts are closed after 90 days of inactivity. To prevent deactivation, at least one trade must be placed within this period. This rule also applies to newly purchased accounts with no activity.

We do not enforce a strict maximum risk limit per trading idea, allowing traders the freedom to implement their strategies. However, excessively aggressive trading styles may be reviewed by our risk management team, who might recommend reducing risk.

Yes, traders are free to use the Martingale strategy as long as it adheres to our general trading rules. Prohibited activities include feed abuse, freezing, high-frequency trading, and straddling. All strategies must be executable in real market conditions.

The use of EAs is permitted under the condition that strategies are unique to each user. Identical strategies among multiple users may lead to account termination.
