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.

General FAQs

General FAQs

What is Customer Account?

Customer account grants you access to dashboard, and is created along your first order (or when signing up for a Demo account) or by administrator. Each trader can only own and operate on a single customer account created using their real personal details.

Creating additional customer accounts after your first, or operating using customer accounts belonging to other people is strictly prohibited, and will result in a suspension and breach of trading accounts involved.

Please Note: Each trader can own multiple trading accounts under their name, within the specified allocation limits, and associated with their customer account.

General FAQs

What is group trading?

Group trading is engaging in trades in coordination with others, including across connected accounts or accounts across different entities, that aim to manipulate trading, such as entering into opposite positions simultaneously. Such practice is strictly forbidden on any of our programs, and will result in the breach of the trading account and suspension of customer account.

What is the maximum allocation in the Challenge program?

The maximum allocation in the Challenge Program is 200K.

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.
