What Causes a Hard Breach?
A hard breach happens when:
You exceed the daily drawdown limit (5% for Atlas Trader & Atlas Plus, 4% for Atlas Express).
You exceed the total drawdown limit (10% for Atlas Trader, 8% for Atlas Plus, 7% for Atlas Express).
Consequences of a Hard Breach
Evaluation Accounts → The account is closed, and you will need to purchase a new challenge to try again.
Funded Accounts → The account is terminated, and any profits are forfeited.
How to Avoid a Hard Breach
To prevent a hard breach, it’s important to follow strict risk management practices, including:
Monitoring drawdown limits to ensure you don’t exceed them.
Using stop-loss orders to control potential losses.
Managing position sizing and leverage to avoid excessive risk.
Hard breaches are enforced to maintain risk discipline and ensure traders do not engage in reckless trading behavior. Staying within the defined drawdown limits is key to maintaining your account and continuing your trading journey with Atlas Funded.
