The split
Atlas Funded sets a high bar with a 90% profit split across all its standard evaluation programs. This can even reach 100% if the trader purchases specific add-ons. However, traders should note the "Atlas Protector" rule: if triggered (by hitting specific risk thresholds), the split is permanently reduced to 50% for that account.
Hola Prime operates with a base split of 80% for its biweekly cycles. They offer flexibility for those willing to pay more: a monthly 95% split option is available for a 20% surcharge on the initial fee. Their Direct (instant) accounts offer a 90% variant with a different pricing structure.
How often you can withdraw
At Atlas Funded, the standard frequency is every 14 days for most plans (1-Step, 2-Step, 3-Step, and Pro). The "Access" model requires 28 days for the first payout, then moves to a 14-day cycle. They offer a payout guarantee: the first withdrawal is processed within 24 working hours, and subsequent ones within 48; otherwise, they pay a $500 penalty to the trader.
Hola Prime requires the trader to choose their cycle at the time of purchase: on-demand, biweekly, or monthly. Once selected, this cannot be changed. Direct accounts are fixed to 14-day cycles. While they advertise processing within one hour of approval, the prior review can take up to 24 business hours.
Minimums and methods
- Atlas Funded: The minimum profit required to request a payout is $50 for Pro accounts and $100 for all other programs. There is no additional minimum on the withdrawal amount itself. Methods include Rise, USDT (ERC20), and Atlas Balance (internal credit).
- Hola Prime: The minimum withdrawal is $50 for bank transfers or crypto, but rises sharply to $500 if using Rise. Note that they charge a 2.5% fee per payout, with a $25 minimum for wires/Rise and $5 for crypto.
What delays a payout
Several rules can delay or reduce your earnings before they reach your wallet:
- Minimum Profitable Days: Atlas requires 5 profitable days (closing >+0.5%) per cycle for 1/2-Step and Instant plans, and 3 days for others. Hola Prime requires 3 profitable days (at least 0.5% net) for biweekly cycles and 7 days for monthly cycles.
- Consistency Rules: Atlas applies a 20% consistency rule only to its "Instant Funded" plan. Hola Prime applies a 40% consistency rule to On-demand accounts and a 20% rule to Direct accounts.
- Trading Restrictions: Atlas deducts profits from trades held under 3 minutes on funded accounts. Both firms restrict high-impact news trading on funded accounts (Atlas: 5-min window; Hola: 5-min window on Pro and Direct).
- Risk Limits: Both firms employ a 2% risk limit (Atlas Protector vs. Hola's 2% per idea) which, if violated, can lead to profit deductions or account closure.
What it takes to get there
To reach the first payout, you must first clear the evaluation or purchase direct access:
- Evaluation Path: Atlas offers 1, 2, and 3-step evaluations. A $100k 2-step account costs $443. Hola Prime offers 1 and 2-step evaluations, with the $100k 2-step "Prime" costing $569 and the "Pro" costing $681.
- Direct Access: Atlas "Instant" accounts ($100k for $635) and Hola "Direct" accounts ($100k for $1,049) skip evaluations but have lower drawdown limits.
- Platforms: Atlas supports MetaTrader 5, TradeLocker, and MatchTrader. Hola Prime offers MetaTrader 5, cTrader, MatchTrader, and TradeLocker.
- Styles: Atlas allows EAs without surcharges. Hola Prime requires a 10% surcharge for EA trading and limits it to MT5.
Which pays out more comfortably
Atlas Funded pays out more comfortably for the active, cost-conscious trader. Its lower entry prices for evaluation, the absence of a payout fee, and the explicit 24-hour speed guarantee make the path to the first dollar cheaper and more predictable.
Hola Prime is better suited for diversified traders who want specific platforms like cTrader or those who prefer Direct funded capital immediately, provided they are willing to navigate a more complex web of payout fees and higher initial costs.
