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.

ATFunded is a broker backed proprietary trading firm that recognizes how funded trading can open the door to both financial independence and personal growth. We are here to streamline and enhance your path to long-term success. At ATFunded, you’re not just trading—you’re shaping your future. 

Established in collaboration with ATFX, a globally respected broker, ATFunded was created to offer traders not only access to capital but also a full support system designed to nurture growth and achievement. With ATFX’s strong infrastructure and dedication to quality, we provide the resources and environment needed to help traders reach their full potential.

To become an ATFunded Trader, you’ll need to complete our two-step ATFunded Trader Program:

In the first step, you’ll be given a demo account and required to meet a profit target while adhering to our drawdown rules. Once you successfully complete this phase, you’ll move on to the second step, which follows the same format as the first but with lower profit targets, making it easier for you to advance.

After successfully completing both phases, you’ll undergo a verification process and sign our funded trader agreement. This includes providing proof of address, a photo ID, and completing facial recognition. Upon verification, you’ll receive your ATFunded account.

We offer our traders an 80% profit split, meaning that you will retain 80% of the profits you generate while trading with our capital. This percentage is consistent and will not change, ensuring that you keep the majority of your earnings

However, we provide additional opportunities for our funded traders to boost their income through our ATFunded+. This unique initiative allows successful traders to earn more by having their trades copied by other investors. Here’s how it works:

  1. Increased Earnings Potential: In addition to the 80% profit share from your direct trading, you can earn additional income when other clients copy your trades. This gives you a passive income stream based on your trading performance.
  2. Attracting Followers: As your performance improves, more investors may choose to follow your trades, further enhancing your earning potential.
  3. No Extra Work: You don’t need to alter your trading style or strategies. Simply continue trading as usual, and the system will automatically manage the copy trades and earnings distribution.

ATFunded+ is designed to reward consistently successful traders by giving them the opportunity to generate more income through leadership and performance in the trading community. This offers an exciting chance to expand your earnings beyond the standard profit share.

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.

It is unlikely that any prop firm that is free of charge will be legitimate due to the cost of operating the business. Trading servers, bridges, staff, and other expenses are high when operating a prop firm and a free prop firm could lead to a requirement for far more infrastructure.

There are many available trading platforms for forex funded accounts and it is up to user preference. The most popular platform is Platform 5, followed by C-Trader.

B-book can be good or bad depending on who is using it. The act of b-book or warehousing trades has led to lower spreads and smoother execution for retail traders. However, it also can create a conflict of interest if a company that operates a B-book doesn’t effectively manage its B-book risk. It is important to choose a trusted company, regardless of execution strategy to ensure safety with your trading.

It is highly unlikely that prop firms operate on a strictly a-book basis. It is vital that a prop firm operates using a dealing mechanism to limit financial risk and be sure that they are able to pay out their obligations. Selective hedging or various other dealing strategies would be a more effective way to manage order flow, at least initially, until it is clear that a trader can survive long-term.

If you are working with a trusted company, such as ATFunded or FTMO, you will receive your profit rewards when trading a prop trading account.

Trading with a prop trading account is a great place to start if you have an already demo or simulation-tested trading strategy. With a low cost of entry, Prop trading limits your personal risk and increases your trading potential.

Prop firms generally fail due to a lack of experience in the management of the firm. Operating a prop firm requires strong experience in the marketplace it specializes in and just like trading requires sound risk management and organization.

ATFunded is a legitimate company operated by one of the world’s largest brokerage firms, ATFX.

Prop trading is not a scam. However, it is vital that you choose a trusted company when deciding who to acquire funding from as there are many unscurpulous characters in the industry.

No, Prop firms are looking for talented traders who may lack capital to excel in their career. Prop firms bridge the capital gap in the pursuit of talent.

Participants must be over the age of 18 to be able to participate in FOREX funding programs.

There are no limits on how much you can make with a funded trading account, however, it is best to practice risk management strategies to preserve your capital for the long term rather than trying to get rich quickly.

It is possible to make a living on a funded trading account depending on where you are from and your cost of living, however, statistically very few people are capable of doing so.

Typically in the funded trader or Prop trading industry, there is a contract between the trader or “contractor” and the prop firm.

The definition of Prop trading is when a trader is employed or contracted by a company to trade proprietary or “Prop” funds. Typically the arrangement takes the risk off the trader and onto the company and the two parties split the profits on a pre-determined basis. For example, ATFunded is a Prop Trading company that shares 80% of the profits with its contracted traders.

The daily drawdown is 4% of your starting balance at the start of each day (00.00 server time). This means that we will calculate 4% of your balance at the start of each day and you will not be allowed to lose more than this throughout the next 24 hours.

Example 1
Starting Balance – $100000
Starting Equity – $100000
Allowed daily DD – $4000
Stop out – $96000

Example 2
Starting Balance – $100000
Starting Equity – $102000
Allowed daily DD – $4000 (4% of the balance at the start of the day)
Stop Out – $96000

Example 3
Starting Balance – $102000
Starting Equity – $100900
Allowed daily DD – $4080 (4% of starting balance at the start of the day)
Stop Out – $97920

You will become eligible to request your first payout 14 days after placing your first trade on the funded account, provided that you have fulfilled all the necessary requirements. These requirements typically include completing a minimum number of trades as specified in our terms.

During this 14-day period, it is important to meet the following criteria:

  1. Minimum Number of Trades: You must execute the required minimum number of trades (5) within the specified period. This ensures that your performance is consistent and aligns with our expectations of responsible trading practices.
  2. Rule Compliance: Your trading activity must adhere to our rules, including respecting drawdown limits and other guidelines established during the evaluation.

Once these requirements are satisfied, you can submit a payout request. Our payout process is designed to be smooth and efficient. If you’re from an accepted country, you have the option to transfer your profits to an ATFX brokerage account, allowing you to either trade with your profits or withdraw them. If you prefer, you can also choose to withdraw your profits directly. For traders in countries not accepted for a brokerage account, the only option is to withdraw your profits directly.

Once you’ve earned a profit and become eligible for a payout, we’ll ensure you can easily access your funds. You will always have two options for your payout:

  1. Withdraw Your Profits Instantly: You can choose to withdraw the full amount of your payout to your personal bank account or preferred payment method, allowing you to enjoy your trading success immediately.
  2. Transfer to an ATFX Brokerage Account: If you’re from an accepted country, you can opt to transfer your profits to a brokerage account with ATFX, giving you full control over your earnings.

If you transfer your profits to the ATFX brokerage account, you can leave some or all of your profits there to build your personal trading capital. This allows you to trade independently of the prop firm’s capital and grow your wealth while continuing to trade on our platform.

Once your profits are in the brokerage account, your ATFX account will automatically reconnect to our ATFunded dashboard, providing several advantages:

  • Build a Track Record: Your trading activity will be tracked, helping you establish a verifiable performance record.
  • Access the ATFunded+ Programme: With a growing track record, you can qualify for our Pro Funded Programme, which offers larger capital allocations and more flexible trading conditions.

For traders in countries not accepted by our brokerage, your payout will be transferred directly to you through alternative payment methods, ensuring all traders receive their profits without complications.

By offering this flexible payout system, we aim to empower our traders to enjoy their earnings or reinvest to grow their trading careers with us.

We welcome clients from all over the world and have no specific entry requirements to join our program. As long as you are 18 years of age or older and have a genuine interest in trading, you are eligible to participate in our program. We aim to provide an inclusive environment for traders of all experience levels.

    At least 50% of your trades must be held for more than one minute to meet the minimum hold time requirement.

    ATFunded provides each trader with a funding limit of up to $200,000. This maximum allocation applies to both the assessment process and the funded stage of a trader’s journey.

    During the assessment process, traders are evaluated based on various criteria, and the funds allocated toward their accounts will count toward this $200,000 limit. Once traders pass the assessment phase and reach the funded stage, this cap remains in place, ensuring that no trader’s total allocated funding with ATFunded exceeds the $200,000 threshold at any point.

    This approach helps ATFunded manage risk effectively while empowering traders with substantial capital for trading opportunities.

    You are eligible to request a refund for an account that remains unused.

Your public profile will showcase key performance metrics that traders use to evaluate and select whom to follow. These include:

    • Total Return: This metric highlights your overall profitability, giving potential investors a clear picture of your performance over time.
    • Max Profit: This figure shows the highest profit you’ve achieved on a single trade, demonstrating your ability to capture significant market opportunities.
    • Drawdown Percentage: This is an important risk metric that reveals the largest drop in your account equity from a peak, helping users assess your risk tolerance and consistency.
    • Number of Investors: This shows how many traders are currently following and copying your trades, which serves as an indicator of your reputation and trust within the trading community.

    While we handle the promotion of your profile, you are also free to advertise your service independently. Whether through social media, trading communities, or other platforms, you can boost your visibility and attract even more followers if you wish to expand your reach. This dual approach maximizes your potential to grow your influence and income as a provider in the trading community.

    To qualify as a provider, you must receive three payouts from the same ATFunded account. Once you meet this requirement, you can join ATFunded+, where we will feature your profile on the platform. This will enable other users to follow and copy your trades.

    ATFunded+ is a social trading network which allows you to build a public track record and earn extra income from traders who choose to follow your signals.

Whenever you open a position, it is automatically mirrored in their accounts, adjusted proportionally to the amount of capital they have allocated. This seamless automation ensures that your followers can benefit from your expertise in real-time, without the need to manually execute trades themselves.

    Upon successfully completing the second phase of our funded program, you will be required to complete our Know Your Customer (KYC) process.

    The KYC process involves several steps:


    Identity Verification: You will need to submit valid documentation, such as a passport or government-issued ID, to confirm your identity.


    Proof of Residence: You will also be required to provide a recent utility bill, bank statement, or another official document that verifies your residential address.

    Quick Questionnaire: Lastly, you’ll need to answer a brief questionnaire to further confirm your personal information and affirm your understanding of our terms and conditions.

    We offer Platform 5, a powerful trading platform designed for both beginner and experienced traders. It provides advanced tools for analysis, efficient trade execution, and robust risk management features, ensuring a seamless trading experience.

    Any trader who violates 5 accounts within a one-month period will receive a one-month suspension from purchasing any accounts. The same will happen when three funded accounts have been violated.

    This break gives you valuable time to reassess and reflect on your trading approach before attempting again. We believe that one of the keys to long-term success in trading is the ability to recognize and correct mistakes. Taking time to analyze where things went wrong allows you to make the necessary adjustments and come back stronger.


    A brief suspension period not only prevents impulsive trading but also offers a mental reset, giving you the chance to approach the market with a fresh perspective. By stepping away, you’ll return with a clearer mindset, better prepared to refine your strategy and improve your overall trading performance.

    Any trader who receives three suspensions will be permanently banned from our services.

    If a trader exceeds the daily drawdown or maximum drawdown limit, our automated system will immediately detect the breach, flag the account, and change its status to read-only mode. This means that the trader will no longer be able to place trades or access certain account functionalities. The violation will also be clearly displayed on the trader’s dashboard, providing a detailed explanation of the infraction. Additionally, an email notification will be sent to the trader, outlining the breach and its consequences.


    Once the account has been flagged for violating the drawdown limits, the evaluation process will be considered unsuccessful. To attempt the evaluation again, the trader must purchase a new account directly from our website. It is crucial for traders to carefully monitor their drawdown levels to avoid triggering this violation and ensure a smoother trading experience.

    If a trader violates any of the prohibited trading strategies or terms and conditions, our team will reach out to notify you of the infraction and take immediate action by placing a breach on your account. Depending on the nature and severity of the violation, this could result in a permanent ban from using our services. Repeated offenses or particularly severe breaches may lead to a full termination of access to the platform, so it is important to thoroughly understand and adhere to all trading guidelines and rules.

    Yes, you can hold trades overnight and over the weekend if you choose to. There are no restrictions on holding positions outside of trading hours, allowing you the flexibility to manage your trades according to your strategy. However, please be aware that any overnight or weekend positions may be subject to additional market risks, such as news events or price gaps when the market reopens. It’s important to ensure that your risk management strategies are in place when holding trades during non-market hours.

    At ATFunded, news trading is strictly prohibited. This means that you are not allowed to open or close any trades within 5 minutes before or after the release of any high-impact news event. High-impact news can cause significant market volatility, and trades made during this time are considered high-risk. As a result, any profits earned from trades that are opened or closed during this restricted time frame will be removed from your account, regardless of the outcome.


    This policy applies to all phases of the account, ensuring consistent adherence to the rules throughout the trading process. It’s important to stay aware of scheduled high-impact news events to avoid violating this restriction.

    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.

      We require traders to achieve a minimum of three profitable days before they can advance to the next phase of the challenge. A day is considered profitable when a trader earns at least 0.5% of the account’s starting balance in a single trading day.

      This rule is designed to assess a trader’s consistency and ensure they are not relying on a single high-risk trade to pass the challenge. It encourages a more disciplined and strategic approach to trading by demonstrating the trader’s ability to generate steady profits over time, rather than achieving success through luck or by taking excessive risks. By implementing this, we can better evaluate a trader’s long-term potential and risk management skills.

      We offer a maximum drawdown limit of 10%. This means that from the moment you open your account, you can lose up to 10% of your starting balance before reaching the max drawdown limit.

      For example:
      If you start with a $100k account, your maximum drawdown allowance would be $10,000. Your account would be in violation if your balance falls below $90k ($100k – $10k).

      Even if you grow your account to $105k, your maximum drawdown remains at $90k, as it is always calculated from the starting balance.

      Once you have completed the objectives, you will proceed automatically to the next stage of the process.

      If you have not been issued with your next account, please check your dashboard to ensure you have completed each requirement on the account.

      We have no time limit on our ATFunded Trader Program.

      We believe traders should have the freedom to trade their strategies without the pressure of a time constraint.
