What Atmos Funded actually asks you to do

Atmos Funded runs a 1-Step / 2-Step / Instant. We have not yet pinned the exact profit target and loss limits into our data for this firm — they are on the firm's own pricing page, and the shape of the challenge (drawdown model, minimum days, time limit) below is what actually decides whether your strategy fits, so read that first.

How the drawdown works here — and how people misread it

Atmos Funded uses a static drawdown: your loss floor is fixed from the starting balance and does not move as you profit. On a $100K account with a stated max loss, the floor stays at the stated floor no matter how high your equity climbs. This is the most forgiving model in the industry, and the mistake traders make with it is treating early profit as "free" risk. It is not free — every dollar you give back is a dollar closer to the same floor.

Model it against your actual stop sizes with the Drawdown Calculator before you start; two minutes there saves a reset fee.

The rules that end Atmos Funded evaluations

  • No consistency rule on record. One strong day counts fully. That does not mean you should swing for it — an oversized day that goes the other way is the daily loss cap.
  • News trading: allowed. You can hold through and trade releases here. The risk is your own — spreads widen and stops slip, and a slipped stop through the daily cap still counts.
  • Weekend holding: allowed. Swing positions can stay open. Gap risk over the weekend still counts against your drawdown on Monday.
  • EAs / automation: allowed. Bots are fine, but "your own" usually means yours — off-the-shelf EAs shared by many traders can trip copy-trade detection.
  • Copy trading between your own accounts is not permitted. Running the same trades on two Atmos Funded accounts via a copier is a termination, not a warning.
  • Minimum 3 trading days. Hitting the target in two sessions does not pass you — you still have to log the days. Plan small, low-risk trades to fill them rather than sitting out and then forcing it.
  • No time limit. This removes the single biggest cause of blown evaluations — catch-up sizing. Use it: there is no reason to take a trade you would not take on a funded account.

A plan that fits Atmos Funded's rules

  1. Fix risk per trade at 1% and do not touch it. Two losers and the day is done, whatever the platform lets you do.
  2. Set a daily stop below the firm's. Your own line should sit well inside the firm's. The gap is slippage and the "one more trade" moment.
  3. Spread the target across as many sessions as the time limit allows. The target divided by twenty is a small daily number; the mistake is trying to make it a large one.
  4. Screenshot the rules page with the date visible. Terms change. "It said something different when I bought" is worth a lot more with evidence.

Platform

Atmos Funded runs on MT4, MT5. Practise on the same platform before the evaluation starts — a mis-click on an unfamiliar ticket is the dumbest possible way to hit a daily cap, and it happens every week.

After you pass

Passing gets you a funded account, not a payout. The split is 80% base, up to 90%. Withdrawals were processing in Every 14 days when we last checked. The challenge fee is not refunded, so the first payout is where you start recovering it. Read the funded-account rules before your first funded trade: at many firms they are stricter than the evaluation rules, and that is where the second wave of terminations happens.
