How does the No Max Drawdown offer work?

Our No Max Drawdown offer removes one of the most common restrictions in prop trading — the maximum overall drawdown limit.

Updated over 3 months ago

When active, this offer means your account will only be breached due to Maximum Drawdown if your balance reaches $0, regardless of how much you’ve drawn down over time.

This gives traders more breathing room and reduces the pressure from hitting an overall drawdown limit.

⚠️ Please note: No Max Drawdown is not a core feature of Atlas Funded accounts. It is only available during special promotions or as part of time-limited offers.

It does NOT apply to the Atlas Access evaluation.


What still applies?

While the overall max drawdown is removed, the Daily Drawdown rule still applies without exception.

  • This means you still need to manage your risk day to day.

  • If you breach the daily loss limit, your account will be terminated, even if your balance is far above zero.


Example

Let’s say you purchase a $100,000 Atlas Plus Challenge during a No Max Drawdown promotion.

  • Standard Max Drawdown: 8% (breach if balance hits $92,000)

  • With No Max Drawdown: Drawdown allowed up to 100% (breach due to Max Drawdown only if balance hits $0)

  • Daily Drawdown Limit: Remains at 5%

Scenario 1:
You lose 4% on each of 5 separate days (totaling 20% drawdown).
Your balance is now $80,000.
✅ Still compliant — you didn’t breach the daily limit, and you’re not at $0.

Scenario 2:
You lose 6% in a single day.
❌ Account breached — you violated the daily drawdown limit, which always applies.
