KYC, agreement and interview before the first payout; account review for every request and further checks when required. After a payout the loss floor becomes the starting balance: retain enough profit to avoid touching it. Consistency resets even after a partial payout.

Approved KYC. Requesting closes positions and pauses the account until payout is resolved. Challenge fee refunded as Atlas Balance with the third consecutive payout, according to the shared FAQ.

Failed challenges can be repurchased at any time. Funded accounts cannot be reset.

Direct Account: funded access without any evaluation phase.

1-Step Prime Challenge: single-phase evaluation with a profit target and consistency requirement.

Live program: whenever accumulated profit reaches 100% of the reference balance, the account grows by 10%. Payouts count toward profit and eligibility is reviewed on payout requests. The Forex scaling ladder does not automatically apply to Futures sim funded.

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

Evaluation and sim funded: trails the highest end-of-day balance, not intraday unrealized peaks. It only rises and locks at the starting balance after earning the drawdown distance. A payout fixes the floor at the starting balance even if it had not locked yet. Touching it with balance or equity closes the account.

Trailing at each day's close, 16:45 New York. On funded Standard, Apex and Direct, stops rising at starting balance; the first payout request locks the floor there. Live: trailing equity without a lock.

Each product split is listed in its challenge. The live program has its own split and starting-balance release requirements.

Atlas Live: 100%. Reached after the fourth paid payout. All programs remain simulated.

Prime evaluation and sim funded: no daily cap. Direct: based on the previous closing balance; reaching it closes positions and pauses trading until the next day, without terminating the account for that isolated event. Maximum-loss breaches still terminate the account.

Standard: soft limit. Closes positions and locks trading until the 16:45 New York reset; does not close the account unless maximum drawdown is also reached.

Combined sim funded and Direct: up to USD 500,000 or five accounts, whichever comes first. Combined Forex and Futures: USD 800,000. One live account may additionally be held.

After a payout the balance must stay above the starting balance, which becomes the loss floor. Withdrawing all profit would leave no room above that limit.

After withdrawal, balance must remain $100 above starting balance.

At most five sim funded or Direct accounts, subject to total allocation; one additional live account. Unlimited evaluation purchases.

Unlimited on all plans.

No evaluation deadline.

None on any plan.

Standard evaluation: 2 days; Apex: 1. Funded per cycle: Standard 5; Apex 4; Direct 5; Live 4.

Sim funded: no monthly membership fee; Level 1 data included. Live: professional data, USD 130 per exchange per month or USD 520 for all four, without proration.

No activation or subscription fee.

Prime sim funded: five non-consecutive profitable days in every payout cycle, not only the first. Minimum daily profit: 25K, USD 100; 50K, USD 150; 100K, USD 200; 150K, USD 250. Direct has no profitable-day minimum.

Standard: +$150 per day. Apex: +$200, except $150K: +$195. Direct and Live: +1% of starting balance per day.

Size-based limits are listed on each challenge. Standard mini:micro ratio is 1:10; Micro Silver has double weighting, and MBT/MET count as minis. No progressive sim funded contract-scaling plan is documented. Live has separate limits.

1-Step Prime is a subscription that renews automatically every 30 days until passing or cancellation. It cannot be paused. Cancellation loses progress and returning requires a new purchase.

One-time fee; no subscription.

Legitimate connections and VPNs outside restricted countries are permitted. Own devices only; travel may require verification. Device or identity sharing may close all accounts.

Must not conceal location or identity. Give advance notice of locations inconsistent with registration.

Stop losses required in sim funded and Direct; without one, a trade is treated as unlimited risk. The per-idea risk rule does not apply during evaluation. No fixed three-minute stop-placement deadline is documented here.

There is no universal minimum holding time. A systematic pattern of sub-three-minute trades without a plan, tick scalping, HFT or latency exploitation is prohibited.

On funded accounts, profits from trades held under 3 minutes are deducted. Losses remain; the deduction does not close the account.

Sim funded and Direct: 2% of the initial balance per idea on Tradovate, NinjaTrader and WealthCharts; legacy DX Futures accounts use 1%. Not applicable during evaluation. Overlapping positions and same-asset, same-direction re-entries within ten minutes are combined.

Close all positions before 16:45 New York; holding afterwards closes the account. On funded accounts, 80% margin usage closes positions and deducts their profits. Respect contract limits.

Only own Hola Prime challenge or sim funded accounts within the same environment. The lead must have the lowest contract limit. Third-party copiers are used at the trader responsibility; external or other-person accounts cannot be copied.

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. Holding through the entire window is allowed.

Evaluation and sim funded: complete at least one round-trip trade within each seven-day period. Live: suspension after 30 calendar days; opening or closing a trade counts as activity.

Open a trade at least every 30 days.

1-Step Prime Challenge: 40%. Prime funded account: 35%. Direct Account: 20%.

Standard: best day at most 50% of profit, according to checkout. Direct and Live: 20%. Apex: no consistency.

Bots and partial or full automation; tick scalping and HFT; arbitrage, latency, errors and low-liquidity exploitation; grid, overexposure, account rolling and unsupported bets; copying external or other-person accounts; cross-account hedging; shared accounts or devices; unjustified strategy or contract-size changes to manipulate evaluations or payouts. Trading within 2% of a CME price limit is prohibited. Violations may forfeit profits and terminate accounts.

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.

Close daily before 15:30 CT; the trader must be flat by 15:28 CT without relying on risk-team flattening. Observe earlier agricultural and holiday closes. Sunday-evening to Monday trading belongs to one session and is permitted.

Allowed within one account. Prohibited across accounts, brokers or firms.
