ATFunded Frequently Asked Questions

General FAQs, News Rule

Can I trade news?

News trading is not allowed at any time with ATFunded.

You must avoid trading during high-impact news events (marked with a red folder) on both assessment and funded accounts.

You are allowed to keep trades open during news and trade other pairs unaffected by the event.

What is not allowed?

You must not do any of the following within 5 minutes before or after a high impact news event:

Open new trades
Set or trigger pending orders (buy/sell stops or limits)
Modify existing trades
Close trades (even if it’s automatic, like hitting take-profit)

This applies even if the trade was placed earlier, but closes or changes during the restricted time.

Consequences of Breaking the Rule

Profit Removal: Any profits earned from trades breaking the News Rule will be removed automatically by our system.

Account Breach: Persistent news trading during multiple payout periods or the first phase, despite warnings, may result in ATFunded breaching your earnings account or assessment 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

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.

General FAQs

Are there any Margin Rules?

The margin call will be 110% & the stop out 100%. If a user is stopped out from a margin call, they lose the account.

Challenge

Is there a trade size limit on ATFunded Challenge accounts?

No, ATFunded Challenge accounts do not come with trade size limits.

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.

Is there a minimum trading days requirement in ATFunded Pro accounts?

ATFunded Pro accounts do not have a minimum profitable trading days rule.

However, because of the 30% consistency requirement, it is not possible to complete Phase 1 in less than 4 days.

On Funded Accounts, Consistency Rule is replaced by Minimum Trades Rule.

Challenge

Is there a consistency rule in the ATFunded Challenge Program?

No, our 2-step program does not have any consistency rules. Traders are required to follow Minimum Profitable Trading Days Rule on Phase 1 and 2, and Minimum Trades Rule on Funded Account.
