ATFunded Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a risk limit on Legacy accounts?

We typically encourage traders to limit risk to a maximum of 1-1.5% per trade idea to support healthy risk management habits. This is not a robust rule for Phase 1 and Phase 2 accounts, but risking a significant part of your Maximum Daily Loss on one idea can suggest that the strategy may not be well-tested or that conviction in the setup is lower.

For Funded Legacy accounts, to avoid uncertainty and ambiguity, a risk limit of 1.5% per trade idea is a strict rule.

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.

On the funded stage of the Legacy program, meeting our Consistency Rule, with a threshold of 50%, is one of the requirements to request a payout. Consistency rule does not apply to Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the program.

Your best trading day cannot make up more than 50% of your current profit.

If it does, the option to withdraw your profits will remain unavailable, until this requirement is met.

Important: Only closed trades from each day are counted for the consistency check. However, keep in mind that all of your trades must be closed to request payout.

Example 1 – requirement met

Profit when payout is due: $500
50% Consistency Threshold: $250
Biggest profit in a single day: $200

$200 is within the $250 limit. The consistency is met.

Example 2 – requirement not met

Profit when payout is due: $1000
50% Consistency Threshold: $500
Biggest profit in a single day: $600

$600, which is your biggest profit in a day, is more than $500 – your threshold. The requirement is not met. You would need to increase your total profit to at least $1200.

Example 3 – requirement not met – large best profit day

Profit when payout is due: $1000
50% Consistency Threshold: $500
Biggest profit in a single day: $1100

Even though your current profit is $1000, your best day was $1100. You won’t be able to request a payout until your profit reaches at least $2200.

Please note: If your profit decreases, so does your 50% threshold. However, your most profitable trading day remains the same. The amount of profit you closed on that day must always be 50% or less of your total profit during each cycle to qualify for payout.

This rule resets after each payout request, with the “biggest profitable day” being reset as well for each payout cycle.
