What Is Copy Trading?
Copy trading is a feature that allows trades placed on one account, known as the master account, to be automatically replicated on one or more other accounts, known as copied or “slave” accounts.
When a trade is opened, modified, or closed on the master account, the same action is mirrored on the connected copied accounts.
Copy trading may also be carried out manually by placing the same trade on another account, possibly with a slight delay.

Is Copy Trading Allowed?
Yes, but only when the master account and every copied account meet all of Moneta Funded’s ownership and account-location requirements.
IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION
A Moneta Funded account may act as a copied or “slave” account only when the master account is also a Moneta Funded account and both accounts belong to the same individual.
This means you cannot use an account at another prop firm, a personal brokerage account, a signal provider, or another external service as the master account and copy those trades into a Moneta Funded account.
Requirements for Compliant Copy Trading
To comply with Moneta Funded’s rules, the master account and all copied accounts must meet every requirement below:
1All accounts must be with Moneta FundedThe master account and every copied account must be Moneta Funded accounts. | 2All accounts must be under the same nameThe registration details must identify the same account owner. | 3All accounts must belong to the same userCopying cannot be used to coordinate trades or share risk between different people. |
Allowed Examples
ALLOWED
One trader copies between two Moneta Funded accounts
Alex owns Moneta Funded Account A and Moneta Funded Account B. Both accounts are registered under Alex’s name. Account A is the master, and Account B copies its trades.
Why this is allowed: Both accounts are with Moneta Funded and belong to the same individual.
ALLOWED
The same user manually repeats a trade
Maria opens a GBPUSD trade on one of her Moneta Funded accounts, then manually places the same trade on another Moneta Funded account she owns.
Why this is allowed: Manual copying is still copy trading, but both accounts are Moneta Funded accounts owned by the same user.
Not Allowed Examples
NOT ALLOWED
Another prop firm is used as the master account
Jordan places trades on an account with another prop firm and automatically copies them into a Moneta Funded account.
Why this is not allowed: The Moneta Funded account is acting as the copied account, but the master account is not with Moneta Funded.
NOT ALLOWED
A personal brokerage account is used as the master
Sam trades on a personal broker account and connects a copier so the same trades are placed on a Moneta Funded account.
Why this is not allowed: The Moneta Funded account is acting as the copied account, but the master account is not with Moneta Funded.
NOT ALLOWED
Trades are copied from a friend or family member
Taylor allows a friend to use Taylor’s Moneta Funded account as a copied account for trades placed on the friend’s account.
Why this is not allowed: The accounts belong to different individuals, even if permission was given.
NOT ALLOWED
A signal provider or external service controls the copied trades
A trader connects a Moneta Funded account to a third-party signal service that places or mirrors trades from an external master account.
Why this is not allowed: The trades originate from a third party or external service rather than the trader’s own Moneta Funded master account.
DIFFERENT OWNERS ARE NOT PERMITTED
For standard challenges, copy trading between accounts owned by different individuals, groups, or third parties is not permitted, even when the account owner has given permission. This includes friends, family members, signal providers, and external services.
Quick Compliance Check
Before connecting or manually copying trades, confirm all three statements:
The master account is a Moneta Funded account.
Every copied account is also a Moneta Funded account.
All master and copied accounts belong to and are registered under the same individual.
WHEN IN DOUBT
Do not connect the accounts until you have confirmed that the setup meets all three requirements.
What Happens If the Copy Trading Rules Are Violated?
Any form of copy trading that violates these rules may result in account violations, suspension, or disqualification.
