At NeomAAA Funds, we enforce a strict policy against trading approaches that resemble “all-or-nothing” behavior. Strategies built solely on this type of activity are not permitted. Our mission is to collaborate with traders who demonstrate solid risk management, sustainable profitability, and consistent performance. These are the individuals we support by providing access to funded evaluation accounts of up to $150,000.
Examples of behavior we consider gambling-like:
Sudden and disproportionate changes in position size compared to the account’s usual average. Such shifts may indicate speculative behavior rather than disciplined risk control.
Unusual activities in trade duration. For instance, if a trader typically holds positions for 2, 4, or 6 hours, but then closes a trade in an abnormally short timeframe, this could signal speculative intent rather than adherence to a structured trading plan.
Placing trades immediately before and closing them right after restricted high-impact news events within simulated funded accounts. More broadly, this includes short-term trades taken purely around popular news, without the intention of maintaining positions or following a coherent strategy.
Poor money management
Traders who regularly trigger margin calls because of insufficient capital or overly aggressive positions demonstrate weak risk control. This not only endangers their own accounts but could also create potential risks for the firm’s overall stability.
Risky Behavioral Patterns
Certain trading habits may be considered problematic, such as:
Operating during illiquid market hours in an attempt to exploit thin liquidity.
Repeatedly ignoring established risk management guidelines.
Allowing emotions to drive trading decisions instead of following a disciplined plan.
It is important to note that our assessment takes into account multiple factors, such as the trader’s style and the overall history of the account.
Consequences of Harmful or “Toxic” Trading
Traders who engage in these types of practices may face certain restrictions, which can include, but are not limited to:
Reduction of available leverage
A cap on the number of trades allowed per day
Daily lot size limitations
Stricter daily or maximum loss thresholds (reducing risk per trade)
Implementation of a 1% per-trade risk cap
Permanent removal from the program or firm
As an evaluation firm, our objective is to help you grow into a more disciplined trader and risk manager, while also benefiting from the quality trading activity you generate. The purpose of this evaluation is to collect valuable trading data that allows us to optimize data monetization, strengthen our stability, and contribute positively to the overall trading industry.
