Scalping is permitted, but not HFT. HFT includes trades held under 60 seconds or a high number of trades per hour.

Violations

• 1–2: Warning + profit deduction
• 3: Account breach

One-Phase, Two-Phase, IF Micro

Martingale is fully permitted. You can add to losing positions and increase lot sizes without restriction.

Instant Funding

Adding to losing positions is allowed, but repeatedly doubling lot sizes after losses is not permitted.

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.

Maximum Lot Rule: Full list here

Maximum risk per trade idea — funded accounts

• General limit: 50% of the account's starting daily drawdown.
• Instant Funding: 3% of the starting balance.
• Instant Funding GO and One-Phase Crypto: 2%.
• IF Micro, IF Micro Crypto and IF1: 1%.
• Two-Phase Micro: 2% on accounts up to $50,000 and 1.5% on accounts of $100,000 or more.

Clarity accounts (IF Micro Clarity, One-Phase Clarity)

• No maximum-risk-per-position rule. Instead, a circuit breaker closes all positions if unrealised losses exceed 1.5% (IF Micro Clarity) or 2% (One-Phase Clarity) of the starting balance. The first breach reduces the profit split to 50%; the second closes the account.

IF Micro Lite

• Floating losses exceeding 1% of starting balance close all positions and trigger a strike. Account Drawdown and news-window violations share one strike pool: first strike reduces profit split to 50%; second closes the account.

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

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.
