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.

Daily, Flex DLL and Flex No DLL: unlimited evaluation time.

No evaluation deadline.

One Step Standard: none; the evaluation can be passed in one trading day.

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.

One Step Standard, Flex DLL and Flex No DLL: $0 activation fee.

No activation or subscription fee.

90% on every program. All accounts are simulated.

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.

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.

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.

One-time fee; no subscription.

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

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

Scalping and microscalping are allowed with a minimum trade duration of 10 seconds.

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.

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.

Copy trading is allowed between accounts owned by the same person. You can copy trades freely across your own AquaFunded Futures accounts without violations for internal account copying.

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

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.

Open a trade at least every 30 days.
