ATFunded Frequently Asked Questions

General FAQs

Can I Use Expert Advisors (EAs) for Trading?

You can use Expert Advisors, Trade Copiers & Risk Management Tools as long as they are not used in the following ways:

Copy trading of other people’s signals
Tick scalping
Latency arbitrage trading
Reverse arbitrage trading
Hedge arbitrage trading or any use of emulators
HFT EAs

The use of third-party EAs is a risk to both our company and the trader. If more than one trader is found using the same EA and placing the same trades, the account will be flagged for copytrading, leading to account failure.

Is there a limit on the number of trades open?

Yes, you are allowed to have a maximum of 4 open trades on the same currency pair at one time.

Extra trades (beyond the 4th) will still open, however, once the extra trades are closed, those profits will be removed.

Example 1

Currency	Positions open
EUR/USD	3
GBP/USD	4
XAU/USD	2

In this example:

The trader has open positions on multiple currency pairs.
No single pair has more than 4 open trades.

The position limit rule is not broken. All trades are valid, and all profits will count.

Example 2

Currency	Positions open
EUR/USD	5
GBP/USD	2
XAU/USD	3

In this example:

The trader has 5 open trades on EUR/USD
This exceeds the 4-trade limit on a single currency pair.

This breaks the rule.

All 5 trades will still open.

But only the first 4 trades on EUR/USD will count.

Profits from the 5th trade on EUR/USD will be removed once it’s closed.
Trades on GBP/USD and XAU/USD are within the rules, profits from those pairs won’t be removed.

Challenge, Pro

Can I open a trade and close it after 60 seconds to meet the Minimum Trades Requirement?

No, for a trade to count as valid, it must be placed in line with your usual trading strategy.

If it appears that a trader is trying to bypass the rule — for example, by opening a trade for only 60 seconds and closing it right away — that trade may be disqualified.
If this happens, the trader will need to keep trading until the minimum requirement is met.

General FAQs

Are there any Margin Rules?

The margin call will be 110% & the stop out 100%. If a user is stopped out from a margin call, they lose the account.

Challenge

Is there a trade size limit on ATFunded Challenge accounts?

No, ATFunded Challenge accounts do not come with trade size limits.

However, we always urge our traders to follow good risk management practices. Gambling, especially overleveraging will not be tolerated. If your Margin Level reaches 100%, your account will be breached as well.

Is there a minimum trading days requirement in ATFunded Pro accounts?

ATFunded Pro accounts do not have a minimum profitable trading days rule.

However, because of the 30% consistency requirement, it is not possible to complete Phase 1 in less than 4 days.

On Funded Accounts, Consistency Rule is replaced by Minimum Trades Rule.

Challenge

Is there a consistency rule in the ATFunded Challenge Program?

No, our 2-step program does not have any consistency rules. Traders are required to follow Minimum Profitable Trading Days Rule on Phase 1 and 2, and Minimum Trades Rule on Funded Account.
