Key ATFunded Rules for All Programs
This part of our ATFunded Review covers the general trading rules applicable to all programs. As an ATFX prop firm, they have specific guidelines to ensure a fair and professional trading environment. Understanding these ATFunded rules is crucial for your success.
General Trading & Account Management
- News Trading: Trading is strictly prohibited within a 5-minute window before and after high-impact news events. Violations lead to profit removal, and repeated offenses can result in an account breach. See Full News Rules for details.
- Weekend/Overnight Holding: Holding positions over the weekend and overnight is permitted, but trading crypto on weekends is not allowed.
- Inactivity Rule: An account will be breached if no trades are placed for 30 consecutive days. You can contact support within 7 days to recover it.
- Minimum Hold Time: At least 50% of your trades must be held for more than one minute.
- VPN/IP Rule: VPNs are allowed, but you must not use a USA-based IP address as they are blocked.
- Minimum Trades for Payout: To qualify for any ATFunded payout, you must complete at least 5 valid trades during each pay period. A trade is considered valid if its lot size is at least 80% of your largest trade in that period.
Policy on EAs and Copy Trading
- Expert Advisors (EAs): EAs, trade copiers, and risk management tools are permitted as long as they are not used for prohibited strategies like tick scalping, latency arbitrage, or HFT. Using third-party EAs with identical trades as others will be flagged as prohibited copy trading.
- Copy Trading: You are allowed to copy trades between your own ATFunded accounts or from an external account you own. Copying trades from other individuals is not permitted.
Prohibited Strategies & Gambling Policy
ATFunded strictly prohibits gambling-like behavior and specific trading strategies to maintain a professional environment. Prohibited practices include, but are not limited to, reverse trading, arbitrage, HFT, and tick scalping. For a complete overview, please review the official Gambling Policy and the list of Prohibited Trading Strategies.

Understanding the Profit Consistency Rules
ATFunded applies different consistency rules depending on the challenge you choose. Here’s a clear breakdown of what to expect.
PRO CHALLENGE: Dynamic Consistency Rule
During the evaluation phase of the PRO Challenge, a unique consistency rule is in place. Your single best trading day is not allowed to account for more than 30% of your total profit target.
If your best day exceeds this limit, your account is not breached. Instead, your overall profit target will be adjusted upward to ensure your top day fits within the 30% threshold. Once you become funded, this rule is completely removed.
2 PHASE CHALLENGE: No Consistency Rule
For traders who prefer maximum flexibility, the 2 PHASE Challenge has no profit consistency rule at any stage, including the evaluation and funded phases.
