TopOneFutures Copy Trading Policy and Rules

Copy trading is one of the fastest ways to scale exposure — and also one of the fastest ways to violate prop firm rules if you misunderstand the boundaries. At TopOneFutures, copy trading is allowed, but only under very specific, tightly enforced conditions. These rules are not suggestions. They’re structural guardrails designed to preserve individual responsibility and prevent coordinated trading.

In this guide, I’ll explain exactly how copy trading works at TopOneFutures, which account types can be copied, what “same size / same type” really means, where traders cross the line without realizing it, and how to use copy trading without triggering enforcement.

Quick heads-up: This article is based on my real experience with TopOneFutures and the info available when I published/updated this. Things change in prop trading — rules, payouts, promos, all of it.

Copy Trading at Top One Futures — The Core Principle

TopOneFutures allows copy trading only when it preserves individual trading responsibility.

That means:

• you may copy trades only between your own accounts
• accounts must be the same type and the same size
• the number of accounts you can copy is capped
• copying must not resemble signal-following or group trading

If copy trading turns into coordination, mirroring, or outsourcing decisions, it becomes a violation.

Copy Trading with S2F Sim PRO Accounts

S2F Sim PRO accounts have their own dedicated copy trading rules, separate from Elite or Instant accounts.

The rule is simple but strict:

You may only copy trades between S2F Sim PRO accounts of the exact same size.

What This Means in Practice

• A $25K S2F Sim PRO account can copy only to other $25K S2F Sim PRO accounts
• A $50K S2F Sim PRO cannot copy to $25K or $100K S2F Sim PRO accounts
• You cannot copy S2F Sim PRO trades to any other account type

Maximum Accounts for S2F Sim PRO Copy Trading

This aligns with the broader S2F PRO account cap and is enforced automatically.

Copy Trading with Classic Elite & Instant Sim Accounts

Elite and Instant Sim accounts follow a parallel but separate rule set.

Here, the requirement is:

Copy trading is allowed only between accounts of the same type and same size.

That means:

• Elite $50K → Elite $50K is allowed
• Instant $150K → Instant $150K is allowed
• Elite → Instant is not allowed, even at the same size

Account type matters just as much as account size.

Maximum Accounts for Elite & Instant Copy Trading

You cannot mix Elite and Instant accounts in the same copy setup. Ever.

Mixing Account Types: Where Traders Get Breached

This is the most common copy trading violation.

Not allowed:

• S2F Sim PRO → Elite
• S2F Sim PRO → Instant
• Elite → Instant
• Any funded account → challenge account

Even if:

• sizes match
• strategies match
• execution looks identical

The system does not care. Type mismatch equals violation.

Trade Copier Software: What TopOneFutures Provides

TopOneFutures offers a built-in trade copier inside its Project X trading platform.

This matters because:

• it’s designed to respect internal limits
• it reduces third-party risk
• it aligns with compliance monitoring

You can:

• configure leader and follower accounts
• manage copy ratios
• monitor execution directly in-platform

Using the native copier is strongly preferred over external tools.

“Individual Trading Responsibility” — What It Actually Means

This phrase shows up often — and it’s critical.

Individual trading responsibility means:

• each trader makes their own decisions
• strategies are not shared across people
• trades are not synchronized between unrelated accounts

Even if you’re using a copier, the strategy must be yours, and the accounts must belong to you alone.

What Is Explicitly Not Allowed (Even If Technically Possible)

Certain behaviors violate the spirit of copy trading rules and are strictly prohibited:

• executing the same trades as another person
• coordinating with friends or relatives
• following Telegram, Discord, or signal services
• subscribing to alerts that mirror trades across accounts
• using “pass your challenge” or account management services

If trades look coordinated across different individuals, enforcement does not depend on intent.

Copy Trading Between Different Firms: A Subtle but Important Rule

TopOneFutures allows a limited form of cross-firm mirroring — with a critical condition.

You may mirror trades from TopOneFutures to other firms, only if:

• the trade originates on your TopOneFutures account
• the strategy is your own
• decisions are made on the TopOneFutures platform

You may not:

• mirror trades that originate elsewhere into TopOneFutures
• follow signals and push them into your TopOneFutures account

Trade origin matters.

Your Responsibility for Copy Accuracy

TopOneFutures does not guarantee copy execution accuracy.

That means:

• slippage differences are on you
• partial fills are your responsibility
• misconfigured ratios are your problem

If a follower account fails because:

• the copier wasn’t set correctly
• trades didn’t sync
• exposure exceeded limits

…the firm is not liable.

Copy trading convenience does not remove accountability.

Common Copy Trading Mistakes That End Accounts

Most breaches come from a few repeat errors.

Traders copy between:

• mismatched account sizes
• mismatched account types
• too many accounts at once

Others:

• use external signal services
• coordinate with friends
• assume “nobody will notice”

All of this is detectable.

Enforcement Is Automatic and Final

Copy trading violations are enforced without discretion.

Consequences can include:

• immediate account breach
• loss of profits
• permanent closure
• platform-wide bans

There are no appeals when trade behavior clearly violates policy.

Strategic Takeaway

Copy trading at TopOneFutures is a scaling tool, not a shortcut.

Used correctly:

• it saves execution time
• standardizes exposure
• reduces manual error

Used incorrectly:

• it looks like coordination
• it triggers enforcement
• it ends accounts fast

If you keep it:

• same size
• same type
• same owner
• same strategy

…you’ll never have an issue.

The moment copy trading stops being “your execution across your accounts” and starts looking like shared decision-making, the system steps in.
