Any of the below will result in your account being closed immediately and all profits forfeited. There is no appeal process for confirmed violations of these rules.
HFT & execution exploitation — strategies built around speed advantages, pricing delays or execution vulnerabilities rather than genuine market analysis
Arbitrage — any form of arbitrage including latency-based, statistical or cross-platform approaches
Spoofing & layering — placing orders you have no intention of executing in order to create false market signals or mislead the system
Cross-account hedging — using multiple Atlas accounts to hold opposing positions on the same instrument, effectively locking in a guaranteed outcome
Account sharing — your account belongs to you. No third party should have access to it, your credentials or your login under any circumstances
Account stacking — buying multiple evaluation accounts and breaching them intentionally hoping to get lucky. We track patterns across purchases and this will result in a platform ban
Gambling-style risk — entering positions with stop losses disproportionately larger than profit targets with no legitimate trading rationale. This is not a strategy — it is a breach
Platform exploitation — taking advantage of bugs, data errors or pricing anomalies in the simulation. Any profits generated this way will be forfeited
VPN use — trading through a VPN or any tool designed to mask or change your real geographic location is not permitted
Falsified records — submitting doctored screenshots, edited statements or any fabricated evidence in connection with your account or a payout request
