These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Ampion Trading platform, website, and all associated services (collectively, the "Platform") operated by Ampion Trading ApS ("Ampion", "we", "us", or "our"), a company registered in Denmark.
By applying for access, registering an account, or using any part of the Platform, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform.
Ampion Trading is a technology and education platform. We provide a simulated trading environment built on a proprietary European power market dataset curated by Ampion from multiple third-party data providers. No real capital is deployed on any energy exchange on your behalf. All trading activity on the Platform is simulated.
Ampion Trading ApS is not a bank, investment firm, broker, or financial adviser. We do not provide investment advice. Participation in the Platform does not constitute financial trading in any regulated sense. Payouts to funded traders are disbursed from Ampion Trading's own operating reserves based on verified simulated account performance — they are not derived from real market positions.
To use the Platform you must:
We reserve the right to refuse access to any applicant at our sole discretion and without obligation to provide a reason.
Access to the Platform is by application only. Submitting an application does not guarantee access. We review applications manually and reserve the right to approve or reject any application. Upon approval you will receive an invitation link to set your password and access the Platform.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. You must notify us immediately at hello@ampiontrading.com if you suspect unauthorised access to your account. You may not share your account with any third party.
Upon approval, all traders receive free access to a sandbox account funded with a simulated EUR 10,000 allocation. The sandbox environment uses day-ahead market data and is provided free of charge, with no time limit. You may use the sandbox to develop, test, and refine your algorithm before committing to a paid evaluation.
The evaluation programme allows traders to demonstrate their algorithm's performance under simulated live conditions over a 28-day window. To begin an evaluation, a one-time non-refundable fee of EUR 199 is charged. This fee covers 28 days of platform infrastructure and day-ahead market data access — it is not a deposit and is not refundable under any circumstances.
To pass the evaluation, your algorithm must meet all six of the following criteria over the 28-day window:
No single calendar day may contribute more than 30% of total round profit; the excess is disregarded for evaluation purposes. The maximum daily loss (5%) and maximum drawdown (10%) limits are measured against the EUR 10,000 starting balance and checked daily; a breach of either at any point during the evaluation results in immediate termination. You may begin a new evaluation by paying the EUR 199 fee again, subject to the 24-hour cooldown set out in the Trader Agreement.
If all criteria are met at the close of the 28-day window, your account is automatically upgraded to a funded status.
Upon passing the evaluation, you will be granted a funded simulated account. The allocated capital amount will be communicated to you upon funding. All funded account activity remains simulated — no real capital is deployed on any exchange.
Funded traders are entitled to a profit split of 70% of net simulated profits generated in each calendar month. Ampion Trading retains 30%. Payouts are processed on the first business day of each month for the preceding month's performance. A minimum payout threshold of EUR 200 applies. Profits below this threshold are carried forward to the following month.
Bank details for payout must be provided in the trader portal. You are solely responsible for the accuracy of your payment details and for any applicable taxes on income received.
Funded account status may be revoked at any time if the maximum drawdown threshold is breached, if we detect manipulation, or for any breach of these Terms.
Ampion Trading never accesses, reads, copies, or stores your algorithm's source code. Your algorithm runs on infrastructure you control — your own machine, server, or cloud environment — and submits trading signals to our API. We only receive the signals themselves: order direction, size, market, and timestamp.
By using the Platform, you grant Ampion Trading a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use anonymised and aggregated signal data (not source code) for internal platform research, risk management, and product development purposes. Individual strategies and their parameters are never disclosed to third parties.
The specific terms governing intellectual property rights to trading algorithms are set out in the Trader Agreement provided upon funded account activation. You should read that agreement carefully before activating a funded account.
You must not:
Breach of any of the above will result in immediate account termination with no refund of any fees paid.
All fees are quoted in EUR. The EUR 199 evaluation fee is charged at the time you elect to begin an evaluation. It is non-refundable. We accept payment via the methods displayed at checkout. You are responsible for any applicable taxes, bank charges, or currency conversion fees.
The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available". We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the uninterrupted availability of the Platform, the accuracy of market data, or the fitness of the Platform for any particular purpose. Simulated past performance does not guarantee future simulated or real-world trading results.
To the maximum extent permitted by Danish and EU law, Ampion Trading ApS shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Platform, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, or business interruption. Our total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising from these Terms shall not exceed the total fees you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim.
We may suspend or terminate your account at any time for breach of these Terms, suspected fraud or manipulation, regulatory requirements, or at our sole discretion. You may close your account at any time by contacting us at hello@ampiontrading.com. Termination does not entitle you to a refund of any fees paid.
We may update these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by email. Continued use of the Platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Denmark. Any disputes arising from or related to these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Copenhagen, Denmark, unless mandatory consumer protection laws in your country of residence provide otherwise.
