Lvlup charges no payout fee.

Both the evaluation and the funded account are simulated, unless a separate agreement says otherwise.

• Lvlup: every 14 days. The days in the cycle do not need to be profitable.
• Starter: after every 5 profitable days. 5 payouts at most; the fifth closes the account.

Standard, Apex and Direct: on request at any time once the profit goal is met, with no waiting period (Apex also needs 5 winning days). Daily: once a day. Requests Monday to Friday (UTC). At the 5th payout the risk team reviews the account and may refer the trader to live trading, closing the funded account.

Approved payouts are processed within 48 hours at most, usually 24 to 48h.

First payout: 24 working hours; subsequent payouts: 48. Working hours: Monday-Friday, 09:00-17:00 BST. Late payment: $500 with that payout and $500 with the next. Giveaway and collaborator accounts excluded.

• Lvlup: 10% of the starting balance per payout.
• Starter: 4% on 25K and 50K, 2.5% on 100K and 2% on 150K, never more than 50% of the profit generated.

Per-size cap per payout, before the split. Standard and Daily: balance above the required balance. Apex: 50% of profit held. Direct: profit held. Apex and Direct keep at least $200 above the starting balance.

• Starter: $500 on every size.
• Lvlup: no published minimum.

Standard, Apex and Direct: $500. Daily: $250/$500/$1,000/$1,500 for $25K/$50K/$100K/$150K.

• KYC with Sumsub before the funded account. The payout method must belong to the verified holder.
• Lvlup: the 40% consistency rule must be met when you request the payout.
• Starter: the account is locked from the request until the payout is approved.
• The full requested amount comes off the balance and the drawdown is not reset.

Identity verification before the first payout. Requesting closes positions and pauses the account until the payout is resolved. Standard: profit goal of $250/$500/$750/$1,000 per payout. Apex from the 2nd payout: $500/$750/$1,000/$1,250. Daily from the 2nd payout: new profit of 50% of the last payout. Direct: $1,500/$3,000/$6,000/$9,000 for the first, then $1,250/$2,500/$3,500/$4,500. Accounts bought from 22 October 2026 have no fee refund.

A failed account cannot be reset or reactivated: you have to buy a new evaluation.

Payout Protector (+25% of the price): if a funded account fails while in profit, they review the case and may pay what was eligible. It does not prevent the breach or keep the account open, and it must be added at purchase.

No Daily Loss Limit: +25% on Standard, +40% on Apex. 50% Consistency on Apex and Daily: +15%, evaluation best day up to 50% and 2 minimum days.

End-of-day trailing: it follows the highest closing balance and updates once the day ends; intraday moves do not shift it. On Lvlup it stops trailing once the account is up 6% and locks at the starting balance; Starter does not publish that lock. Touching it closes the account.

Trailing on end-of-day balance, recalculated at 16:45 New York; never moves down and stops $100 above the starting balance, in evaluation and funded. The first payout request fixes the floor there. Breach measured on equity in real time. Atlas Daily funded uses $2,500 and $3,500 on $100K and $150K.

80% on Lvlup and 100% on Starter.

90% on every program. All accounts are simulated.

No daily loss limit.

Lockout, not a breach: reaching it closes positions and locks trading until the 16:45 New York reset. Measured from the balance at the start of the trading day. None on Atlas Direct $25K or with the No Daily Loss Limit add-on. Atlas Daily funded: $500/$1,000/$1,250/$1,800.

$1,000,000 per trader, adding up every active account, evaluation and funded.

Standard and Daily: after a payout the balance must stay at the starting balance plus the max loss plus $100. Apex and Direct: at least $200 above the starting balance.

No fixed number of accounts: the limit is the total capital.

• Lvlup: no expiry, but you must trade at least once every 30 days.
• Starter: 30 days from the first trade; it does not renew.

No evaluation deadline.

5 in the evaluation. Any day with at least one executed trade counts.

Evaluation: Standard 2 days; Apex and Daily 3 (2 with the 50% Consistency add-on). Funded: no minimum days, except the winning days on Apex.

• Lvlup: activation fee after passing, due within 30 days. It is lower if the evaluation was monthly. No monthly fee once funded.
• Starter: no activation fee.

No activation or subscription fee.

Lvlup Elite: 1 point per dollar paid out by Lvlup and 200 per passed Lvlup account; verified payouts and passes at other futures firms count too. 10,000 points unlock 12 months in a club with events and trips, where each point is worth $1. It cannot be bought.

• Lvlup: none; payouts follow 14-day cycles.
• Starter: 5 profitable days before each payout.

Apex funded: 5 winning days per payout of $100/$150/$200/$255 net closed profit for $25K/$50K/$100K/$150K. Other programs: no winning-day requirement.

• Lvlup: monthly or one-time payment, your choice. The monthly fee runs while the evaluation is open and stops when you pass, fail or cancel.
• Starter: one-time payment only.
• On Volumetrica, Lvlup monthly ($129, $225, $369 and $476) and Starter ($161, $226, $291 and $356) cost more. Lvlup one-time costs the same on both platforms.

One-time fee; no subscription.

Your own bots are allowed, for the holder's own trading. High-frequency bots and bots that copy trades between different traders are forbidden.

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

Allowed within the same account. Forbidden across accounts, yours or another firm's.

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

No minimum trade duration, but no HFT and no sub-60-second trades at the contract limit.

On funded accounts, a trade held under 3 minutes loses its profit only when that profit is half the max loss or more. Losses remain; it does not close the account.

Contract limit by account size, counting all open exposure together (1 mini = 10 micros). Risking an outsized share of the account on a single move is forbidden.

Positions open at 16:45 New York are closed automatically; this is not a breach. No margin-usage rule or Atlas Protector: contract limits cap position size, and funded accounts start at half the limits until the floor locks or the first payout is paid.

Only between your own accounts, within contract and capital limits. Copying other traders or following signal groups is forbidden.

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

Allowed in evaluation and funded, with no 3-minute restriction. The general terms of Prop Account, the company running the evaluations, do forbid opening positions 3 minutes before and after a news event.

Allowed on Standard, Apex and Direct, and in every evaluation. Atlas Daily funded: positions opened within 1 minute before or after high-impact news are closed, and profits from trades opened or closed in that window are deducted.

At least one trade every 30 days; the timer cannot be paused. On Lvlup it also applies once funded.

Open a trade at least every 30 days.

40%: your best day cannot exceed 40% of total profit. On Lvlup it applies in the evaluation and at every payout request; on Starter, only in the evaluation. Exceeding it does not fail the account: you keep trading until it drops below 40%.

Standard: best day at most 50% of total profit to pass, then 40% of each funded cycle. Apex and Daily: 40% to pass, none when funded. Direct: 20% of each cycle.

• Exploiting price errors, delays or latency
• High-frequency trading (HFT)
• Hedging or arbitrage across accounts, other firms included
• Front-running and insider information
• Group trading, signals or copying other traders
• Having a third party trade or pass the evaluation for you
• All-in or excessive risk on a single move
• Passing with one strategy and switching it once funded
• Trading at or near the contract limit for under 60 seconds (Prop Account terms)

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. All-or-nothing trading: 3 or more trades each making or losing 75% of the max loss that are 20% or more of all futures trades.

Everything closed by 15:55 CST on normal days; trading resumes at 17:00 CST. Hours change on holidays and closing in time is the trader's job.
