Traders are expected to trade in a genuine and professional manner, adhering to risk management and market integrity standards. Below are the prohibited trading practices that will lead to immediate consequences.
Copy Trading y Trade Mirroring
Evaluation Accounts
Copy trading is strictly prohibited. Traders are not allowed to use external copy trading services or duplicate trades across different accounts. Each trader is expected to maintain an independent and genuine approach to their trading decisions.
Funded Accounts
Copy trading is permitted only between your own Orion Funded accounts. The use of external copy trading services, or copying trades from evaluation accounts to funded accounts, is strictly forbidden.
Quick Strike Trading
To ensure fair trading practices, strategies designed to capitalize on micro price movements within seconds or milliseconds are not allowed. These tactics, commonly referred to as quick strike, are not accepted in the program. Any trade that is opened and closed within 60 seconds or less will be considered a quick strike trade and is strictly prohibited.
Martingale Strategies
Traders are expected to operate responsibly. Martingale strategies, which attempt to recover losses by increasing position sizes after a losing trade, are not permitted under the program.
Latency Arbitrage
Exploiting execution delays, known as latency arbitrage, to secure risk-free profits is strictly prohibited. Traders are not allowed to take advantage of technical glitches or system failures to manipulate trading conditions. Such behavior is considered market manipulation and may result in immediate account suspension.
Hedging Across Accounts
Hedging across multiple accounts is not allowed. This includes placing opposite trades in different accounts or simultaneously buying and selling the same asset across separate accounts. However, hedging within a single account is permitted, provided it does not involve any form of market manipulation.
Grid Trading
The use of grid trading strategies is strictly prohibited at all times during the program. This technique involves placing multiple buy and sell orders at different price levels with the intent to profit from fluctuations within a specific range. Opening four or more positions simultaneously on the same asset will be considered grid trading and is not allowed.
Gambling Behavior
Trading without a clear and structured strategy, relying on chance, or engaging in gambling-like behavior is strictly prohibited.
This includes, but is not limited to:
Continuously opening and closing trades, alternating between buy and sell positions without any technical or market-based justification.
Executing multiple impulsive trades in rapid succession without proper risk management or a defined trading plan.
Account Rolling & Excessive Account Purchases
Not Allowed:
Buying multiple evaluation accounts in quick succession with the intent to pass through luck rather than skill.
Abandoning accounts that are losing while focusing only on those that might pass.
Using a probability-based approach rather than a structured trading plan.
Orion Funded monitors account purchases and will restrict traders engaging in this behavior.
Account Sharing & Device SharingNot Allowed:
Sharing or reselling Orion Funded accounts with others.
Trading on the same device with other traders (even family members or friends).
Consequence: Account sharing results in immediate termination of all related accounts.
Maximum Risk per Trade Idea
A maximum risk limit of 3% per trade idea is established.
A trade idea refers to any trade or group of trades that share the same operational logic, technical analysis, setup, or directional bias. This includes:
Trades opened simultaneously or in sequence as part of the same plan.
Split entries intentionally structured to appear as lower risk but that collectively exceed the 3% limit.
Final Notes
Orion Funded is committed to fair, transparent, and professional trading. All traders must adhere to the rules outlined above. Violations will result in warnings, profit removals, account breaches, or permanent bans.
