Atlas Funded review

Atlas Funded is a real company, run through Atlas Vanquish FZCO in Dubai and Atlas Funded LTD in Saint Lucia, and it publishes verifiable payout certificates. It is also young (launched 2024), unregulated like all prop firms, and draws frequent payout-denial complaints, so treat it with caution.

Yes, payouts are made and can be checked on its certificate verification pages. But 27.6% of recent negative Trustpilot reviews describe denied payouts, usually over per-instrument risk, gambling, copy-trading or deduction rules applied at the payout review.

The guarantee covers 24 working hours for a first payout and 48 working hours for later ones, counted 9-5 UK time on weekdays, with $1,000 credited if it is late. The terms allow 1-5 business days, and the first payout window opens 14 or 28 days after funding.

Atlas does not publish an audited pass rate. A company blog claims over 65% pass the Access challenge without a method. Based on its 8%/5% and 10% targets with static drawdown, we estimate roughly 10% of evaluations reach funding.

On funded accounts: a 2% open-loss trigger that cuts the split to 50% permanently, a cap of half the daily limit on any one instrument, profit deductions for news windows, trades under 3 minutes and 80% margin use, plus manual gambling and copy-trading reviews before payout.

Only in evaluations. On funded accounts, profit from any trade opened or closed within 5 minutes of a red-folder news release is deducted on every instrument, and positions opened in that window are closed automatically.

Yes, on every program without approval. On funded accounts the EA must hold trades at least 3 minutes and avoid news windows, and traders running on shared VPS servers report device-matching flags.

Atlas says it accepts traders from 140 to 190 countries and many reviewers are US-based, but its terms state that MT5 services are not intended for US residents. US traders should pick TradeLocker or Match-Trader and confirm eligibility with support. No full restricted-country list is published.

Atlas runs frequent site-wide sales with a code shown in the homepage banner, and it offers a separate code to new subscribers. Check the banner on atlasfunded.com at checkout, since the percentage and code change with each campaign.

Atlas Funded is the trading name of Atlas Vanquish FZCO, registered in Dubai Silicon Oasis, with services provided by Atlas Funded LTD in Saint Lucia. Lucas Antonio is co-founder and CEO; other owners are not disclosed.

A breach of the drawdown, daily limit, a second Protector trigger or 30 days of inactivity ends the account. You can usually buy a discounted reset within 7 days that continues from the phase you were in; accounts closed for prohibited practices may not get one.

The 2-Step has lower targets (8% then 5%) and the widest 10% static drawdown, so it is more forgiving. The 1-Step needs 10% within a 7% static drawdown and a 4% daily limit, which is faster but tighter.

You pay $5 to start a one-phase challenge with a 3% target. If you pass, you must pay the full funded fee (for example $492 for $100K) within 30 days, and only the $5 is ever refunded.
