What are the Trading Rules?

Trading rules — news, hold times, EAs, copy trading, hedging and DCA

News trading Fully permitted. You can hold positions through NFP, FOMC, CPI and any high-impact release with no restrictions. Fast markets around news can cause slippage and unexpected fills — Atlas Futures takes no responsibility for execution outcomes during these windows.

Minimum hold time All trades must be held for a minimum of 2 minutes. Profits on trades closed in under 2 minutes may be subject to deduction at payout. Applies on all accounts at all stages.

EAs and automated strategies Fully permitted on all accounts at all stages. No approval required. Your strategy must still follow all account rules — automation does not exempt you. Atlas Futures takes no responsibility for losses or malfunctions caused by automated systems.

Copy trading Copying between your own Atlas Futures accounts is permitted. Copying between different traders or any arrangement where accounts mirror another trader's positions is prohibited — hard breach on all accounts involved.


Hedging Hedging within the same account is permitted. Cross-account hedging — using multiple accounts to hold opposing positions on the same instrument — is prohibited and will result in all accounts being closed.


DCA Permitted on evaluation and funded accounts. On funded accounts, adding to a losing position that would consume more than 50% of your remaining daily drawdown allowance in one addition is not permitted.


Prohibited practices The following result in immediate account closure and forfeiture of all profits: HFT or execution exploitation, arbitrage of any kind, spoofing or layering, account sharing, account stacking, gambling-style risk, platform exploitation, VPN use, falsified records.
