The ATFunded second phase is a chance for you the trader to show you have the consistency it takes to become an ATFunded Trader. You need to be able to show that you can trade your strategy over a longer period of time and respect the rules at the same time. You are rewarded with lower profit target in the second stage and have unlimited time to complete the objectives.

If you manage to complete our 2 step process, our team will review your account and ask you to complete our verification process before you are given your ATFunded account.

The ATFunded first phase is the initial stage of our Evaluation Process. Before we provide you with an ATFunded Account, we need to ensure you can trade responsibly and manage risk effectively. Our challenge comes with fair rules, balancing the Profit Target with the allowable drawdown, which we refer to as Trading Objectives.

There is no time limit to meet the Profit Target & once you have complete all the objectives  and your results have been reviewed, you can move on to the second step. The minimum time required to complete the account is 3 trading days.

At ATFunded, we are committed to fostering safe and responsible trading practices. Our Gambling Policy aims to be transparent and easily understood by all traders, providing clear guidance and information. The main objective of this policy is to encourage responsible trading while discouraging behaviors that resemble excessive risk-taking and gambling.

Overleveraging: It is essential to maintain responsible position sizes and margin usage at all times. If we determine that you are over-leveraging your account, we will issue warnings to reduce your risk. If this behavior persists after a warning, your account may be terminated.

Account Rolling:

Passed Account Rolling: Purchasing multiple accounts of the same or similar sizes, passing each one above the maximum allocation, and then trading them individually at the funded stage. Failed accounts are replaced with other accounts that have passed. This strategy will result in the immediate termination of our services.

New Account Rolling: Purchasing a single account, trading it at full risk, and if it fails, purchasing additional accounts and repeating the same high-risk strategy until one passes. In the funded phase, this approach involves continuing with high leverage or risk tolerance to recover losses from previous failures. This type of gambling behavior is not tolerated and disregards the opportunity to be a successful virtual funded trader.

Reverse Trading: Executing a buy trade on one demo account while placing a sell trade on another demo account is not allowed. This action violates the prohibition against reverse trading or hedging across multiple demo accounts. Additionally, group hedging, where individuals coordinate opposing positions across one or more prop firms to minimize or eliminate risk and take advantage of prop firm rules, is strictly prohibited.

Copy Trading – No more than max allocation per strategy.

Min Hold Time – At least 50% of trades must be held for more than 1 minute. For instance, if an account has 50 trades and 30 of them are held for less than 50 seconds, it would violate this rule.

To maintain a fair, consistent, and responsible trading environment, the following strategies are not allowed within our funded trading program:

Reverse Trading
Executing a buy trade on one demo account while placing a sell trade on another demo account is not allowed. This action violates the prohibition against reverse trading or hedging across multiple demo accounts. Additionally, group hedging, where individuals coordinate opposing positions across one or more prop firms to minimize or eliminate risk and take advantage of prop firm rules, is strictly prohibited.

Copytrading
Copying the trades of others undermines the evaluation of individual skills and does not reflect a trader’s own abilities, which is essential in a prop firm environment.

Arbitrage
This strategy exploits price differences across markets or exchanges. It is prohibited as it relies on system inefficiencies rather than trading skills.

High-Frequency Trading (HFT)
Using algorithms to execute trades at high speeds.

Tick Scalping
This strategy involves making quick trades to profit from minor price changes.

We require traders to execute a minimum of 5 trades in order to qualify for the first payout. The term “minimum trades” refers to the number of trades necessary to be eligible for receiving compensation. This requirement ensures that traders are actively engaged in the market and not relying on a single large trade or a highly concentrated group of trades to meet payout criteria.

A valid trade, for the purpose of this rule, is defined as any trade that is more than 80% of the size of the largest trade on the account. This guideline is in place to prevent traders from using one oversized trade to fulfill the minimum trade requirement, as well as to encourage diversity in trading strategies. By maintaining a more balanced approach, traders demonstrate consistent trading behaviour and a more disciplined risk management strategy throughout the pay period.

If you breach five challenges within a one-month period, you will be suspended from purchasing new challenges for one month. If this suspension occurs on three separate occasions, you will be permanently banned from the program.

You need to complete a minimum of three trading days to move forward. A trading day is any day on which you execute at least one trade. If you hold a position overnight or over multiple days, it still only counts as one trading day. To meet the requirement, you must execute trades on three separate days.
