Trading Rules & Guidelines – Atlas Funded
At Atlas Funded, 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 three minutes as a core strategy are not permitted. This includes repeated sub-3-minute trades used to meet minimum trading days, hit targets quickly, or gain large profits from brief moves.
One-Sided Risk Exposure (Funded Accounts Only)
Funded traders must maintain balanced risk management.
You cannot risk more than 50% of your daily loss limit on a single trade or multiple trades in the same instrument.
Example: If your daily loss limit is 5%, then the maximum permissible risk on a single instrument per day is 2.5%.
This applies whether risk is measured via SL at entry or unrealised drawdown during the trade.
Hedging Across Brokers or Prop Firms
Hedging between multiple 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.
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.
Weekend Trading Restrictions
You may hold open trades over the weekend (Friday–Monday), but opening new positions on Saturdays or Sundays is not allowed unless explicitly stated for a specific instrument.
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 Funded Terms & Conditions.
We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining a fair trading environment.
