High-Frequency Trading (HFT) & Ultra-Fast Scalping
Trades that last less than three minutes as a core strategy are not allowed. This type of trading places excessive strain on broker servers and attempts to exploit the demo environment. While short trades can occur naturally, they must not be the foundation of your approach.
One-Sided Risk Exposure (Funded Accounts Only)
Traders in the funded stage 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 drawdown is 5%, your maximum risk on a single instrument for the day must not exceed 2.5%.
Hedging Across Brokers or Prop Firms
Hedging between multiple brokers or proprietary firms to create risk-free trading conditions is strictly prohibited. Traders must ensure they are not using different platforms to manipulate market exposure unfairly.
Tick Scalping & Latency Exploitation
Opening an excessive number of trades to take advantage of small price fluctuations (tick scalping) or delays in broker price feeds (latency arbitrage) is not allowed. This type of trading does not reflect real market conditions and is against our policies.
Account Sharing & Managed Trading Services
All accounts must be traded exclusively by the account holder.
Sharing login credentials.
Allowing third parties to trade on your behalf.
Using accounts across multiple, drastically different locations without prior approval.
Server Overloading & Toxic Trading
Placing excessive market or limit orders within short periods can overload trading servers and impact other traders. Any strategy that disrupts broker performance is considered a violation.
Using Account Passing Services
Purchasing services that pass evaluations on your behalf is strictly forbidden. Every trader must complete their evaluation independently.
Weekend Trading Restrictions
While holding trades over the weekend (Friday–Monday) is permitted, opening new positions on Saturday and Sunday is not allowed, unless stated otherwise for the specific pair you wish to trade.
Violation Consequences
Atlas Funded strictly enforces these rules. Breaking any of these guidelines may result in disqualification, account suspension, or withheld payouts.
We are committed to providing fair and transparent trading conditions, so we strongly encourage traders to follow ethical trading practices. If you have any questions, feel free to open a support ticket or refer to our Terms & Conditions.
