ATFunded Frequently Asked Questions

What is the drawdown limit on Pro accounts?

Your account has a Maximum Loss Limit (also called a trailing drawdown) in both Phase 1 and the Funded Account stage.

This limit is linked to the highest balance or equity your account has reached at the end of any day.
It does not decrease, even if your balance or equity later becomes lower.

Once the limit reaches your starting account balance, it stops moving and will not increase again.
The limit is updated daily at 00:00 server time, but only if your balance or equity reaches a new highest level.

The limit starts at your initial account size minus the allowed loss, depending on your account size.

When you make a profit and your end-of-day (EOD) balance or equity goes above your initial account size, the limit starts to move upward.

It always follows your highest EOD balance or equity, but it never moves down.

Formula:
Highest end-of-day balance or equity so far – allowed loss

Once the limit reaches your starting account size, it stops moving and stays fixed at that level.

The Allowed Loss is the amount your new trading account starts with as its maximum loss limit.

As you finish trading days with profits, your limit will move up with your progress.

Account SizeAllowed LossStarting Limit
10k$500 (5% of initial deposit)$9,500
50k$2,000 (4% of initial deposit)$48,000
100k$3,000 (3% of initial deposit)$97,000
150k$4,500 (3% of initial deposit)$145,500

Examples

Funded Accounts follow the same Maximum Loss Limit rules.

However, after you receive two payouts, starting with the third payout, the Maximum Loss Limit and your account balance will be reset at each payout.

This means your funded account returns to its initial state.

Please note: This limit must not be exceeded by either your equity (including floating loss) or your balance.

Trades are treated as one trade idea when they are opened on the same instrument, in the same direction, and within 15 minutes of the previous trade being closed.

In such case, as long as you meet the requirements you can request it at any time within 10 days of the original date, with all of your trades closed. After 10 days the button will become unavailable, and you will have to wait until the next payout date (30 / 14 days from your last payout).

The maximum allocation in the Legacy Program is $200K. However, if you wish to participate in both ATFunded Pro and Legacy programs at the same time, the limit is two Pro accounts of any size, and only one account of any size in the Legacy program

In the ATFunded Legacy program, you are not restricted to the number of trades you are allowed to have open on the same pair or across pairs at the same time.

A Margin Call indicates that your account is approaching its margin limit. While your margin remains at that level, you will not be able to place additional trades unless more margin becomes available.

A Stop Out occurs when all available margin has been exhausted. In that case, all active positions will be closed automatically, no matter whether they are currently in profit or loss.

Once a Stop Out takes place, the account is considered to be permanently breached, regardless of the remaining balance or equity.

To prevent this, traders are strongly advised to keep a close eye on both position sizing and overall margin consumption.

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.
