Trading Rules & Guidelines – Atlas Futures
At Atlas Futures, we’re committed to identifying disciplined, consistent traders and providing them with an opportunity to grow. As such, we enforce several rules designed to maintain fairness, platform integrity, and realistic trading behavior. Please review the following policies in full:
High-Frequency Trading (HFT), Ultra-Fast Scalping & Very Short-Duration Trades
Trades held for less than two minutes are not permitted. This includes repeated sub-2-minute trades used to meet minimum trading days, hit targets quickly, or gain large profits from brief moves.
Hedging Across Brokers or Prop Firms
Hedging between multiple accounts, brokers or prop firms to create risk-free exposure or arbitrage is strictly prohibited. Traders must not use other platforms or firms in conjunction to manipulate risk or performance.
Copy Trading Between Accounts
Copy trading is allowed only between your own personal Atlas Futures accounts.
For example, if you have two or more active Atlas Futures accounts under your name, you may copy trades between them.
However, copy trading between different traders is strictly prohibited.
You may not copy trades from other people, nor allow others to copy from you, or copy between Atlas accounts and any external trading accounts in your name.
If your trade activity matches another trader’s, it may be treated as a breach of the program rules and could result in account termination.
Tick Scalping & Latency Exploitation
Strategies that rely on:
Rapid-fire entries/exits to take advantage of micro price movements (tick scalping)
Latency arbitrage (exploiting broker pricing delays)
are strictly disallowed as they do not reflect genuine, sustainable trading behaviour.
Account Sharing & Managed Trading Services
Accounts must be operated solely by the registered user. The following is not allowed:
Sharing credentials with others
Letting third parties trade on your behalf
Trading from geographically inconsistent locations without prior notice or approval
Server Overloading & Toxic Order Flow
Using automated systems or strategies that:
Place large volumes of orders in short succession
Spam market/limit orders
Cause server strain
is prohibited and may result in breach of account and forfeiture of payouts.
Using Account Passing Services
Purchasing services to complete your evaluation or funded account on your behalf is strictly against our terms. Any account suspected of this will be disqualified.
Gambling Rule
We strictly ban “all-or-nothing” trading strategies—where nearly the entire loss limit is risked on a single setup. This is considered gambling, not trading, and is not tolerated.
Breaches of this rule, even without violating a specific numerical limit, may result in termination at our discretion.
Consequences of Violations
Violations of any of the above policies may result in:
Account suspension
Disqualification from funded status
Forfeiture of any outstanding profits or payouts
Permanent bans from purchasing future accounts (in serious or repeated cases)
If you have any questions or need clarification about any rule above, please contact our support team or consult the Atlas Futures Terms & Conditions.
We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining a fair trading environment.
