Understand the Requirements to Succeed

We believe in clarity and transparency. Our evaluation rules are designed to help traders succeed while maintaining fairness and integrity. Follow these simple guidelines to pass your evaluation and unlock the full potential of Atmos-funded accounts.

Profit targets vary depending on the account type and evaluation structure you choose. Some accounts have a single profit target during a one-phase evaluation, others have two targets across two phases, and some such as Instant Funding have no profit target at all and instead focus exclusively on risk management.
A few examples to illustrate the variation:

2-Step Standard: Phase 1 requires a 10% profit target, and Phase 2 requires a 5% profit target.
2-Step Plus: Phase 1 and Phase 2 each require a 6% profit target.
Instant Funding: No profit target — traders begin in a funded environment and operate within risk-management rules from day one.

Once you reach the funded stage in any evaluation-based account, there is no further profit target. Traders can operate freely, focusing on consistent growth.
The exact profit targets, calculation method, and conditions for each account type are detailed in our FAQ. We recommend reviewing the rules for your specific account before starting your challenge.

Drawdown limits are equity-based and exist to protect both the trader and the firm by capping how much an account can lose. Atmos applies two categories of drawdown across its products:

Daily Drawdown: a daily limit on how much your equity can decline within a single trading day, measured at the end-of-day rollover (midnight server time). Some account types do not include a daily drawdown rule.
Overall Drawdown: a maximum total decline allowed on the account, which determines the lowest equity level your account is permitted to reach.

The Overall Drawdown can follow one of two models, depending on the account type:

Static Drawdown: the threshold remains fixed based on the initial account balance and does not change as the account grows.
Trailing Drawdown: the threshold adjusts upward as your equity grows, trailing the highest equity reached. In some accounts the trailing drawdown locks at the initial balance once a certain milestone is reached (such as a payout).

The exact percentages, calculation method, daily reset times, and any locking conditions vary by account type. The complete drawdown rules for each account are detailed in our FAQ. We strongly recommend reviewing these rules before starting your challenge, as a drawdown breach results in account closure.

Some Atmos accounts include a minimum trading days requirement, which sets a minimum number of profitable days a trader must complete during the evaluation, the funded stage, or both. This rule does not apply to every account type, and the specific number of required days, as well as which phases it applies to, varies depending on the product.
Where the rule applies, the calculation method (including how a “profitable day” is defined) follows the criteria set out in our FAQ, which is the official source for all program rules. We recommend reviewing the minimum trading days requirement for your specific account before starting your challenge.

During the funded stage, Atmos restricts trading around high-impact news events. Specifically, opening or closing trades on instruments affected by a high-impact news event is not permitted within 2 minutes before or after the event.
Any profits resulting from trades that violate this rule will be removed from the account. The processing of these adjustments may take a few business days.
The full definition of “high-impact news event,” along with any product-specific conditions, is available in our FAQ, which is the official source for all program rules.

On Atmos, the use of Expert Advisors (EAs), automated trading algorithms, is subject to specific restrictions. Commercial EAs are strictly prohibited. Other EAs may only be used if they accurately reflect the trader’s own strategies and decisions, ensuring the trading activity is a genuine representation of the user’s approach.

Leverage on the Atmos platform allows traders to control larger positions with a smaller capital allocation, amplifying both potential gains and potential losses. The leverage applied to Atmos accounts is:

Forex: 1:50
Metals: 1:15
Indices: 1:10
Crypto: 1:2

Leverage settings are visible directly in the trading platform. The complete list of supported instruments and any product-specific leverage conditions are detailed in our FAQ, which is the official source for all program rules.

An account is considered breached when it violates Atmos’s trading rules. Breaches occur, for example, when an account exceeds the daily loss limit, exceeds the maximum drawdown (static or trailing), or engages in prohibited trading practices such as hedging across multiple accounts or banned strategies.
When a breach occurs, the account is immediately closed, all open trades are terminated, and any profits in the account are forfeited. Trading on the breached account cannot be resumed.
For every breach, the trader receives an email with a detailed explanation of the reason for the closure. Our support team is available 24/7 if further clarification is needed. After a breach, traders may purchase a new challenge at any time, and a reset option may be available depending on the account type.
The complete list of breach triggers, the distinction between hard and soft breaches, and the conditions for resets are detailed in our FAQ, which is the official source for all program rules.

Funded Account Rules and Payout Process

In the funded phase, the profit target rule no longer applies, providing traders with greater flexibility. However, all other trading rules, including drawdown limits and risk management guidelines, remain unchanged and must be adhered to.

The payout process is simple and straightforward. Traders can request payouts directly from their account dashboard by selecting their preferred method, specifying the amount, and submitting the request. The minimum payout amount is $100, and payouts can be requested once every 14 days. This threshold ensures smooth and efficient processing. The 14-day payout cycle resets as soon as the previous payout request has been approved by our team.

Payouts are typically processed within 2-5 business days after approval. The exact processing time depends on the chosen method and banking procedures. While crypto transfers are generally faster, bank transfers may take slightly longer due to interbank processes. Atmos is committed to ensuring all payouts are processed promptly and reliably.

Additionally, traders have the option to transfer their payout directly to a broker account with Taurex instead of withdrawing it. This seamless integration allows for reinvestment without delays, enabling traders to continue building their portfolio efficiently.

Anti-Gambling and Trading Integrity Policy

Atmos promotes safe, disciplined, and responsible trading. The Anti-Gambling Policy exists to discourage trading behaviors that resemble gambling more than structured trading — such as excessive risk-taking, impulsive position reversals, and patterns that bypass proper risk management.
The following practices are some of the prohibited practices under this policy:

One-sided bets
Chasing price (rapid position reversals on the same instrument within a short time window)
Aggressive averaging
Martingale
Tick scalping
Grid trading
Hyperactivity / Execution flooding

Atmos also requires traders to maintain a consistent trading style across all phases of an account. Significant or abrupt changes are not permitted without explicit approval.
Detailed definitions of each prohibited practice, along with the specific criteria used to identify violations, are available in our FAQ. Violations of the Anti-Gambling Policy may result in profit removal, account suspension, or breach, depending on severity.

Profit targets vary depending on the account type and evaluation structure you choose.
