Atlas Funded encourages traders to apply structured, well-managed, and consistent strategies — particularly when operating under funded conditions or participating in any of our evaluations.
We understand that traders use a wide range of approaches and styles, but extreme high-risk, “all or nothing” strategies are generally not permitted and can put both the trader and the program at risk.
What Is Considered “All or Nothing” Trading?
This term generally refers to any approach where a trader puts a significant portion of the account at risk in a single position or trade idea, often aiming for a large return with minimal regard for risk management.
These strategies may include (but are not limited to):
Using more than 80% of available margin in a single trade
Placing large trades that risk breaching max drawdown in one move
Positioning with no stop-loss or using unrealistic targets with excessive size
Relying on unhedged “double or nothing” trades, especially near drawdown thresholds
Ignoring volatility or holding oversized positions through high-impact news releases
These actions are not aligned with our trading standards and often demonstrate a lack of strategic planning or control.
What Happens If You Use These Strategies?
If we identify behaviour consistent with "all or nothing" trading, the consequences may include:
Profit being withheld or reduced
Removal from reward eligibility
Account breach or termination
Loss of add-on privileges (e.g. payout upgrades, scaling opportunities)
Disqualification from any promotional or bonus campaigns
We monitor all accounts — evaluation and funded — for activity that breaches our internal compliance criteria, and trades may be reviewed manually by our team if they raise concerns.
Can It Be Reviewed on a Case-by-Case Basis?
Yes. We understand that there are occasional cases where position sizing may be justified by a trader’s unique strategy, risk profile, or a particular market condition.
In such instances, we are open to reviewing trades on a case-by-case basis. If you believe your approach has been misinterpreted or you’d like to clarify a strategy that has raised concerns, you're welcome to contact our team directly.
Please be prepared to explain the logic behind the trade, how risk was controlled, and how the strategy fits into a broader plan of responsible account management.
Why Do We Have This Policy?
Atlas Funded provides access to real capital, and with that comes the expectation of long-term sustainability.
Our goal is to work with traders who treat their accounts with the same care and structure they would apply to their own capital. High-risk, uncontrolled methods often lead to short-lived trading careers — which we aim to avoid.
We are not here to penalise traders for taking bold trades or pursuing big setups — but we do require that all trading activity follows measurable, rational, and risk-conscious frameworks.
Final Thoughts
If you're unsure whether a particular strategy or setup falls within our trading expectations, feel free to reach out to our support team for clarification before executing.
Atlas Funded is here to support traders who aim to grow with consistency, not rely on single trades to determine the success of an account.
Let us know if you have any questions, and we’ll be happy to help.
