Account scaling
Yes

Max Drawdown

Static and balance based; floating or realized losses can trigger a breach. Funded PFP: Low 5%, Moderate 6%, Medium 7% and High 10%. AADS closes positions and switches to B Book at a 1% loss below initial balance; recover initial balance and reactivate in the dashboard to return to A Book. B Book profit is not withdrawable. A cumulative A Book loss limit also follows the account daily limit; on InstantGrowth it is 6%.

1/2/3-Step: static. Instant: trailing closed balance, updated at 00:00 UTC; does not lock at starting balance. Access: trailing equity, including floating profit. After withdrawal, recalculated from the new balance, except Pro, where the original floor remains.

Daily Drawdown

Calculated from the previous closing balance and reset at 00:00 UTC. Funded PFP depends on risk group: Low 2%, Moderate 3%, Medium 4% and High 5%.

Resets at 00:00 UTC from equity. Standard plans subtract a fixed amount based on account size; Instant and Access subtract a percentage of equity at reset. Intraday profit does not raise the daily floor.

Multiple accounts allowed within the total allocation limit.

Maximum Trading Days

Points Reward Program

Hive Coins are internal utility rewards with no guaranteed monetary value. They may be issued for passed challenge fees or for B Book profit net of A Book losses when an account closes.

Atlas Balance for purchases, resets and add-ons; cannot be withdrawn as cash. VIP: 26 ranks across 8 tiers, from Bronze to Atlas Black. XP from purchases, payouts, funded trading, tasks and achievements. Rank-up rewards: Balance and Atlas Packs, unlocked after the first paid order. Rank-based cashback: 3%-10%; bonus for payouts taken as Atlas Balance: 10%-25%. Spending Balance or trading losses do not lower rank; reversed payouts remove their XP.

Atlas Packs: one random prize per pack, with published odds. Available through paid orders, rank-ups or Atlas Balance. Prizes include challenges, resets, add-ons, discounts, Balance, XP and packs.

Access: every account includes an Access Pack with a discount on that account's funded activation fee, up to full coverage. Pack reward and promo code cannot both reduce the funded fee.
