Exciting news from ATFunded! We’re thrilled to announce a bold new step in our mission to bring transparency and innovation to the prop trading world. Our latest initiative is all about copying trades from some of our talented traders and sending them straight to the market. This move benefits both our traders and our company, and we can’t wait to share the details with you. Let’s dive in.

What Does It Mean to Copy Trades?
In the trading universe, brokers typically handle orders in one of two ways: A-book or B-book. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- A-book: Your trades go directly to the market. You’re tapping into real market liquidity, which can mean great prices but also some variability in how your orders fill—especially when the market’s quiet.
- B-book: The broker will warehouse your trade and not send it to market. This can lead to speedy fills and lower costs, with the broker taking on the risk of the trades.
At ATFunded, we’re always looking for the sweet spot that works for our traders. That’s why we’re launching an initiative to copy the trades of select prop traders and send them to the market (A-book style). For us, the more traders who hold long term discipline, the better as we can send those orders out to be filled!
Who’s In and What Can They Expect?
We’re hand-picking traders for this program based on their discipline and smart risk management. If you’re one of the lucky ones, you’ll get an email from us with all the details. Here’s what you should expect:
- Realistic Fills: Your trades will reflect actual market liquidity. On bigger orders, you might see some slippage, but we’re hustling behind the scenes to secure the best liquidity for your trading style.
- Timing Is Everything: When you trade matters! For example, EUR/USD fills might shine during the European session but dim a bit during the Asian session. Knowing your product’s rhythm will be your superpower.
- Spreads During Big Moments: Unlike our standard accounts, there won’t be a cap on spreads during news events or rollovers. You might see wider spreads in these low-liquidity moments, but we’re confident our chosen traders can handle it like pros.
- Scaling Smart: Every strategy has its limits. Too much volume can water down its magic (aka “alpha”). We’ll team up with you to figure out where your strategy peaks and set sensible scaling boundaries.
