Does Ment Funding Allow Copy Trading? Yes, Between Accounts You Own, With One Open Question
Ment Funding allows copy trading only when you own every account, and bans EAs or third-party strategies that facilitate copying. Its rules, quoted and dated.
By Tom Lin, Head of IT Updated · 9 min read
Yes, on paper. Ment Funding’s Terms of Service say copy trading from one account to another is “only permitted if the trader owns all the accounts in question”. Signal services, group trading, passing services and mirroring another trader are prohibited. The open question is in the same section: it also bans EAs or third-party strategies “that facilitate copy trading”, with no exception written for your own accounts, and no page says how you may copy between them. Ment Funding offers DXtrade, Match-Trader, cTrader and PropX, so in Copygram its accounts can only receive trades. Ask its support in writing before you connect a copier. Rules checked on November 9, 2026, against Ment Funding’s website, Terms of Service and checkout terms.
What Ment Funding is
Ment Funding has been funding traders since 2021 with one-step evaluations in three programmes: Forex (accounts from $25,000 to $2,000,000), Futures ($25,000 to $400,000) and Equities ($5,000 to $100,000, S&P 100 stocks). The brand operates through the Prop Account group in Florida and the Cayman Islands: “The legal entity providing the assessment and receiving the fees is Prop Account, LLC.” Ment Funding says it “is not a broker, a bank, an investment adviser, or a fund”, and that the evaluation and funded phases run in a simulated environment.

There’s no help centre. The rules live on the homepage, in the Terms of Service dated July 2026, and in a second set of terms that the checkout makes you accept, on the legal entity’s own site and dated September 2026. A fuller FAQ sits behind the dashboard login and wasn’t read for this page.
What Ment Funding says about copy trading
The whole policy is four sentences in section 06 of the Terms of Service. The first is the permission:
“only permitted if the trader owns all the accounts in question”
Source: Terms of Service, section 06, Ment Funding
The next two are prohibitions on other people’s trading. Group trading, signal services and passing services are out, along with “any other methods that bypass individual strategy”, and so are trades that mirror or closely align with another trader or group across multiple accounts.
The fourth is the one a copier user has to read carefully:
“automated trading systems (EAs) or third-party trading strategies that facilitate copy trading is strictly prohibited”
Read in context, after two sentences about copying other people, it targets signal-following tools. Read literally, it bans the software you’d use to copy between your own accounts, in the same section that permits copying between them. Ment Funding resolves this nowhere public, and the checkout terms repeat the four sentences word for word. Source: Client terms and policies, Dashboard Analytix
Accounts at other firms. The permission speaks of all the accounts in question, without limiting them to Ment Funding accounts, but no sentence mentions your own accounts at other prop firms or brokers, in either direction. Every clause that does reach other firms is a prohibition: arbitrage with an account at any third-party company, front-running of trades placed elsewhere, and coordinated opposing positions at several prop firms.
Account sharing. “The account will be personal to You, and You cannot share it with anybody else.”
EAs and automation
The homepage is generous:
“EAs, hedging, scalping - all permitted. Hedging must be within a single account only.”
Source: Ment Funding FAQ
The terms are narrower. Their prohibited trading list includes “Utilizing any third-party strategy, off-the-shelf strategy or one marketed to pass challenge accounts”, exploiting errors or latency in pricing, and passing an assessment with one strategy and trading the funded account with another. The checkout terms add a clause against tick harvesting and what they call sub-minute hyper-scalping: holding positions at or near the contract limit for fewer than 60 seconds. Trading that breaks these rules ends your participation and can forfeit fees and profits.
No page mentions trade copiers by name, VPS, VPN, IP addresses or devices. The only shared-identity rule concerns payout wallets: a wallet address shared with another trader can get a payout rejected.
Hedging across accounts
Hedging inside one account is allowed. Across accounts, the terms prohibit executing:
“a buy trade on one account and a sell trade on another account”
Source: Terms of Service, section 07, Ment Funding
The same section bans group hedging and “coordinating opposing positions at one or multiple prop firms”. On a copier, never reverse a receiver. See reverse copying for what that setting does.
Platforms, and where Copygram fits
“Forex on DXtrade, MatchTrader, cTrader, and PropX.”
Source: Ment Funding FAQ
Futures run on Rithmic and DXtrade Futures, and equities on PropX. There’s no MT4, MT5 or TradeLocker. In Copygram, DXtrade and Match-Trader accounts receive trades but can’t be a source, and cTrader, PropX and Rithmic aren’t connected. So a Ment Funding forex account on DXtrade or Match-Trader can only be a receiver: of your own trades on an MT4, MT5, TradeLocker, Tradovate or NinjaTrader account you hold elsewhere, for example MT5 to DXtrade or MT5 to Match-Trader. Copygram can’t copy from one Ment Funding account to another, because neither platform can send.
That makes the two unanswered questions decisive for you: whether copying in from your own account at another firm or broker is covered by the permission, and whether a copier counts as a third-party tool that facilitates copy trading. Get Ment Funding’s written answer to both before you connect. Copygram copies the trades you place; it doesn’t track Ment Funding’s limits.
Account limits
“Traders are limited to one active account per assessment level”
Source: Terms of Service, section 09, Ment Funding
That applies without prior written approval, and “assessment level” isn’t defined. The terms also cap each person: “A maximum of $1 million in active evaluation or funded plans per person is permitted.”, made up of several accounts if you like. Read together, your accounts would be of different sizes, for example $100,000, $200,000 and $400,000. The checkout terms carve out the $2,000,000 account, which exceeds the cap on its own, and don’t contain the one-account-per-level sentence. Merging isn’t mentioned. Scaling doubles a funded forex account up to $5,000,000, but only for accounts bought at $1,000,000 or less.
Loss limits by programme
| Programme | Profit target | Daily loss | Max loss | Other conditions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Forex 1-Step | 10% | 5% | 6% static | No time limit, minimum days or consistency rule up to $1M |
| Futures 1-Step | 10% | 3% | 6% static | 33% consistency; 90 days to pass; no weekend holds |
| Equities Static | 15% | 4% on the homepage, 2% at checkout | 6% static | 3% daily profit cap; 33% consistency; 1-minute minimum hold |
| Equities Trailing | 10% | 4% on the homepage, 3% at checkout | 6% trailing, locks at the start | Same, consistency in the evaluation only |
Source: Ment Funding rules and the plan picker. For the forex programme:
- Daily loss is “calculated using the previous day balance which resets at 5 PM EST”, and breached on equity: on a $100,000 balance, equity touching $95,000 during the day ends the account. Open profit at the reset doesn’t raise the reference.
- Max loss. “Max loss is fixed at 6% below the starting balance and doesn’t trail with profits.” After the first payout it locks at the starting balance, so leave a buffer when you withdraw.
- News. “Opening a position within 3 minutes before or after a News Event is prohibited.” Holding through is fine. A copied entry in that window can have its profit removed, leverage cut or the account breached, and Ment Funding alone decides what a news event is.
- Weekends. Positions close by 3:45 pm EST on Friday unless you bought the weekend add-on.
- Inactivity. “Open or close at least one trade every 30 days.”
- Above $1M. Funded accounts over $1,000,000 need a 35% consistency score before a withdrawal, and the $2M tier has a 2.5% daily profit cap.
- No stop-loss requirement, minimum holding time or per-account lot cap is published; orders range from 0.01 to 100 lots.
Funded accounts keep the same rules without the profit target. Copygram sizes each receiver with its own settings, but with accounts of different sizes and a 5% daily limit measured on equity, the multiplier on each one is yours to get right.
Payouts
“Your first withdrawal can be requested at any time.”
Source: Ment Funding rules
After that, forex and futures accounts can withdraw every 30 days, or faster with a rapid payout add-on bought at checkout. The default split is 75% on forex and futures and 80% on equities, with 90% as an add-on; equities pay every 14 days with a $100 minimum. The homepage says profits up to the latest payout cycle stay payable after a breach, while the terms say profits in breached accounts are generally forfeited.
Checklist before you copy at Ment Funding
- Ask support in writing whether a trade copier between accounts you own is allowed, given the sentence on tools that facilitate copy trading, and whether your own account at another firm may be the source.
- Buy the account on DXtrade or Match-Trader if you plan to use Copygram; cTrader, PropX and Rithmic can’t be connected.
- Trade the source yourself. No signals, no group trading, no bought strategy.
- Never reverse a receiver, and don’t hold the opposite side of a Ment Funding position at another firm.
- Keep the source out of the 3-minute news window and flat before 3:45 pm EST on Friday unless every receiver has the weekend add-on.
- Size each receiver against its own 5% daily limit on equity.
- Place a trade on every account at least every 30 days.
What we couldn’t confirm
- Whether the ban on EAs or third-party strategies that facilitate copy trading applies to a copier used between your own accounts.
- Whether copying between a Ment Funding account and your own account at another prop firm or broker is allowed, in either direction.
- What an “assessment level” is, and so how many accounts of one size you may hold.
- Any rule on VPS, VPN, IP addresses or devices.
- Whether US residents are accepted; the site says only that most countries are.
- The content of the dashboard FAQ, which is behind a login and which the checkout points to for more detail.
- The equities daily loss limit, shown as 4% on the homepage and 2% or 3% at checkout.
Ment Funding copy trading: questions
Does Ment Funding allow copy trading?
Its Terms of Service permit copy trading from one account to another only if you own all the accounts. Signal services, group trading, passing services and mirroring other traders are prohibited.
Can I use a trade copier on Ment Funding accounts?
It isn’t clear. The terms permit copying between accounts you own, then ban EAs or third-party strategies that facilitate copy trading, without an exception for your own accounts. Get support’s answer in writing first.
Can I copy trades from another prop firm into Ment Funding?
Ment Funding doesn’t say. The permission isn’t limited to its own accounts, but no page mentions external accounts, and the terms ban arbitrage and opposing positions involving other firms.
Does Ment Funding allow EAs?
The homepage says EAs are permitted. The terms prohibit third-party or off-the-shelf strategies, strategies marketed to pass challenges, and EAs that facilitate copy trading.
Which platforms does Ment Funding offer?
DXtrade, Match-Trader, cTrader and PropX for forex, Rithmic and DXtrade Futures for futures, and PropX for equities. MT4, MT5 and TradeLocker aren’t offered.
Can I use Copygram with Ment Funding?
Only as a receiver, and only once Ment Funding confirms a copier is allowed. Copygram can send your own trades from an MT4, MT5, TradeLocker, Tradovate or NinjaTrader account into a Ment Funding account on DXtrade or Match-Trader. It can’t copy between two Ment Funding accounts, and it doesn’t track Ment Funding’s limits.
