Scaling plan applies to Simulated Funded and Professional Stage accounts. In Sim Funded, position size increases with realized profit (end-of-day). In Professional Stage, scaling is decided case-by-case by the Live Desk based on EOD realized results.
Lab Sniper 25K and Accelerate 25K have fixed position limits and no scaling plan. Lab Payday 50K has a scaling plan.

Atlas Live after the fourth payout: trailing equity drawdown and Direct contract limits.

Evaluation Phase

• Prime / Classic / Premier EOD: End-of-Day trailing drawdown based on realized gains.
• Elite / Premier Intraday: Intraday trailing drawdown based on unrealized gains.
• S2F Standard: End-of-Day drawdown.
• S2F Accelerate: Intraday trailing drawdown with no ceiling.
• Velocity: Intraday trailing drawdown; optional EOD drawdown during evaluation.
• Base Plan: $2,000 End-of-Day trailing drawdown based on the highest End-of-Day balance.

Simulated Funded Phase

• Velocity: Intraday trailing drawdown, including accounts with the evaluation EOD Add-On.
• End-of-Day drawdown on all plans except Velocity, S2F Accelerate and Base Plan. Except for Lab Sniper 25K, once an End-of-Day account reaches the buffer zone (e.g., $52,000 for $50K account), the drawdown becomes static at the initial balance.
• S2F Accelerate: Intraday trailing drawdown with no ceiling.
• Base Plan: $2,000 intraday trailing drawdown that locks once the account reaches $2,000 in profit.

Professional Stage

• End-of-Position (EoP) drawdown: adjusts only when a position is closed in profit. Drawdown locks at a static threshold once fully recovered (e.g., $50,100 for $50K account).

Lab Plans, Straight to Funded

• Sniper 25K: EOD trailing drawdown that never locks.
• Accelerate 25K: intraday trailing drawdown that never locks.
• Payday 50K: EOD trailing drawdown locks at the initial balance once the EOD balance reaches the initial balance plus the maximum drawdown.
