Maximum Risk Limit
Yes

Funded: the greater of net floating loss and the sum of losing positions, at 2% of initial balance, trigger Atlas Protector. First trigger: positions closed and split cut to 50%; second: account closed. Using 80% of margin closes positions and deducts their profits. Risk per instrument limited to 50% of the daily limit where applicable.

Yes

Floating drawdown is calculated per symbol against the initial account balance.

  • Instant Funding: 1.5%. The first confirmed breach produces a formal warning. From the second confirmed breach onward, each separate event records one strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%.
  • Funded Challenge and Funded Pro: 2%. Each confirmed breach records one strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%.
  • Challenge and Pro evaluation phases: 2%. It is monitored for the progression report but does not trigger a real-time strike or account closure.
  • Solo FX: 2.5% during Simulated Funded Status only. A confirmed breach records one strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%.
Copy Trading
Limited

Only between your own Atlas accounts; copying other traders or external accounts is prohibited.

Yes
News Trading
Limited

Unrestricted during evaluation. On funded accounts, profits from trades opened or closed within 5 minutes before or after high-impact news are deducted. Entries inside the window are closed automatically; holding through the entire window is allowed.

Yes

News trading is allowed. For Solo FX, the Dashboard and launch announcement prohibit news straddling, but Schedule 10A-1 disapplies the Terms section that prohibits it. Confirm this contradiction with Finotive before trading news.

Inactivity Rule

Open a trade at least every 30 days; failing closes the account. Instant Zero has no inactivity limit.

30 days

Consistency Rule
Limited

Instant Funded: best day at most 20% of cycle profit. No consistency on Access, Zero, 1/2/3-Step or Pro, according to checkout.

Yes

Pro accounts — from the 31st funded day

  • Weekly trade count and instrument volume must remain within ±25% of the averages recorded during the Pro Challenge and the first 30 funded days.
  • During every rolling 90-day period, realised and unrealised profit, including rewards already paid, must total at least 5% of the initial balance.
  • Breaching either condition downgrades the account to the equivalent standard funded account and permanently removes the Pro benefits.

Instant Funding Standard and Lite

  • At payout, the single most profitable closed trade must contribute less than 60% of total positive realised profit. Requesting a payout while the condition remains active records one Conditional Strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%.

Solo FX

  • No specific consistency rule or single-trade profit dependency.
Hold Weekend
Yes
Yes

Weekend holding is available through the optional Weekend Holding Add-On on Instant Funding accounts. Without it, all non-crypto positions must be closed before Friday's 17:00 New York market close; Finotive recommends closing at least 10 minutes earlier. Each confirmed breach records one strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%. Five cumulative strikes permanently close the account.

Prohibited Strategies

Latency or tick arbitrage, exploiting prices or bugs, order flooding, hedging across accounts or firms, account sharing and passing services. Multiple locations must not hide who trades. Gambling, martingale and manipulating evaluations are prohibited.

  • Excessive notional volume (not applicable to Solo FX; its exposure is governed by 1:33 margin)
  • High-frequency stacking, including correlated instruments (not a Solo FX-specific restriction; latency arbitrage and execution abuse remain prohibited)
  • Martingale or grid strategies
  • News straddling (the Solo FX dashboard and announcement prohibit it, but Schedule 10A-1 disapplies section 7.9; confirm with support)
  • Using ultra-tight stops just to mask oversized lots
