ATFunded Frequently Asked Questions

Prohibited trading strategies

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.

  • 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.

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.

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
CurrencyPositions open
EUR/USD3
GBP/USD4
XAU/USD2

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
CurrencyPositions open
EUR/USD5
GBP/USD2
XAU/USD3

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.

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.
