Only closed profit counts toward the target; floating (open) P&L does not. Stay inside the daily loss and maximum drawdown limits the whole way, and every rule applies in both phases.

What counts as a trading day

A trading day is counted once you open and close at least one position. Days with no completed trade — including weekends — do not count toward your minimum.

On passing

Pass every phase and your account converts to a funded account. Complete KYC via Veriff, sign the customer agreement, and you are trading firm capital with up to a 100% split.

If you breach

A breach ends the account. You can start a new challenge; Pay Later accounts can be reset within 72 hours of a breach at a reduced fee.

Account violations

Hard vs soft breach. A hard breach (daily loss or maximum drawdown) ends the account immediately. A soft breach — the Atlas Protector on funded accounts — restricts rather than closes.

How each rule works

Daily loss limit — 4%

The daily loss limit resets at 00:00 UTC and is measured on the higher of your balance or equity at the reset, including open floating losses.

Worked example: a 4% limit gives about $4,000 of room on a $100,000 account ($2,000 on $50,000).

Floating losses count, so an open trade in deep loss can breach you before you close it. A momentary dip below the floor is a breach even if price later recovers.
Maximum drawdown — 7% static

The overall floor is 7% static — fixed from your starting balance and never resets (static).

Worked example: on a $100,000 account the breach point sits near $93,000.

Atlas Protector (soft breach, funded)

If your open floating loss reaches 2% of the initial balance, all positions auto-close so you keep trading rather than breaching. The first trigger drops your split to 50%; the second breaches the account. It does not apply during the evaluation.

One-sided risk (funded)

The loss on a single instrument or correlated idea may not exceed 50% of the daily loss limit. With a 4% daily limit on a $100,000 account, that caps single-instrument risk near $2,000. Combined open and closed losses on the same idea are assessed together — reaching the cap is a breach even if one position is still open.

Minimum hold time

Trades should be held at least 2 minutes. Trades closed faster are treated as short trades and their profit may be deducted.

Additional guidelines

Hold
Existing positions over the weekend
Open
New positions Sat / Sun
Holding allowed across the weekend; new entries are not permitted.
Own accounts
Copy between your Atlas accounts
External
Other traders or brokers
Copy trading is allowed only within your own accounts.
  • Overnight & weekend holding is allowed (swap fees apply, typically tripled over the weekend).
  • Minimum hold time is 2 minutes.
  • EAs are allowed in evaluation and funded.
  • Hedging within one account is fine; hedging across accounts, brokers or firms is prohibited.
How the news rule works

High-impact releases are the ones flagged red on calendars such as Forex Factory — NFP, CPI, FOMC and central-bank rate decisions. During the evaluation there is no news restriction. On funded accounts, profit from any trade opened or closed within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact release may be removed — the full profit of the affected trade is excluded, not just the in-window portion. Trades held through the news are unaffected.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I break a rule?
The account is breached and trading stops. On an evaluation you can buy a reset or a new challenge; on a funded account, profit on the breached account is forfeited.
If I briefly dip below a limit but recover, is it a breach?
The daily loss limit and maximum drawdown are hard limits — crossing them at the measured point breaches the account even if price later recovers.
How is the daily loss limit calculated?
From the higher of your balance or equity at the midnight-UTC reset, including open floating losses.
What's the difference between static and trailing drawdown?
Standard 1/2/3 Step models use a static floor fixed from your starting balance. Instant Funded trails up with your balance and locks at your starting balance once you reach 5% profit.
Does the trailing floor ever move down?
No — it only moves up, then locks. Once you build a buffer it can't be taken away.
Is there a consistency rule?
Standard 1/2/3 Step evaluations have no consistency rule. Instant Funded applies a 20% rule (no single day above 20% of total profit per payout cycle).
Can I trade the news?
Unrestricted during the evaluation. On funded accounts, profit from trades opened or closed within 5 minutes of high-impact news may be removed.
Can I hold positions over the weekend?
Yes — overnight and weekend holding is allowed (swap fees apply). You just can't open new positions on Saturday or Sunday.
Is there a minimum hold time?
Yes — 2 minutes. Trades closed faster are treated as short trades and their profit may be deducted.
Are Expert Advisors (EAs) allowed?
Yes, in both the evaluation and funded accounts.
Is copy trading allowed?
Only between your own Atlas accounts. Copying between different traders or external accounts is prohibited.
What is the profit split?
80% by default, upgradable to 100% with the profit-split add-on.
How often can I get paid?
Every 14 days by default (Instant Funded: first at 28 days, then every 14), with a $100 minimum withdrawal.
What payout methods are available?
Crypto for amounts under $1,000 (no fee) and Rise for amounts over $1,000 ($50 fee).
When do I complete KYC?
Through Veriff after you pass the evaluation, before the funded account activates.
Is my evaluation fee refunded?
Yes — alongside a regular payout, typically after your 3rd payout on 1/2 Step models and your 5th on Instant Funded.
Can I scale my account?
Yes — consistent traders grow their allocation over time, up to $400,000 and beyond. See the Scaling Plan.
Can I run multiple accounts?
Yes — up to a $400,000 total funded allocation per trader, across multiple accounts.
What leverage do I get?
Forex 1:100 in evaluation and 1:50 funded; indices and commodities 1:20 / 1:10; crypto 1:2 / 1:1.
What platforms can I trade on?
MetaTrader 5 (MT5) and TradeLocker.
What is the Atlas Protector?
On funded accounts, if your open floating loss hits 2% of the initial balance all positions auto-close. The first trigger halves your split to 50%; the second breaches the account.
