Atmos Funded

Atmos Funded is a broker-backed proprietary trading program launched by Taurex in November 2024. The firm focuses on evaluation-based funding (1-Step and 2-Step), Instant Funding, and a low-cost Nova pay-after-pass path. All trading is on MetaTrader 5 (MT5) and accounts are operated within a simulated environment. Operationally, AtmosFunded Ltd is incorporated in Cyprus, while simulated trading services are provided by Atmos Global Ltd, as disclosed on the website.

Funding models are clearly documented with specific profit targets, drawdown structures, and time rules. Profit sharing starts at 80% to the trader and can scale up to 90% with consistent performance. Payouts generally follow a 14‑day cycle, with on‑demand options on select plans. The program integrates with Taurex infrastructure, and funded traders can optionally transfer payouts to a Taurex live account.

Evaluations have unlimited time to pass with a small minimum of profitable trading days per phase. The Nova program lets traders start for $5 and only pay a funded activation fee after passing. MT5 access is available on desktop, web, and mobile, and leverage is standardized by asset class (Forex 1:50, Metals 1:15, Indices 1:10, Crypto 1:2).

Reputation and transparency

Atmos positions itself as a broker‑backed prop program within the Taurex ecosystem and discloses key rules, payout schedules, and risk parameters in a public help center. The brand’s launch by Taurex in November 2024 is documented, and the website publishes corporate disclosures for AtmosFunded Ltd (Cyprus) and Atmos Global Ltd (Comoros) that provide the simulated trading services. Atmos states it is not licensed as a broker or dealer, which is typical for evaluation‑style prop firms. Restricted jurisdictions include the United States and others as listed on the site.

Broker and market access

Trading is conducted on MT5 using broker‑grade infrastructure from Taurex. Asset classes include Forex, Indices, Metals, and Crypto, each with published leverage limits. All program rules (profit targets, loss limits, payouts) are documented in the help center, and transfer of payouts to Taurex is available for traders who want to trade a live brokerage account.

Trustworthiness and data security

Rules are published and monitored (e.g., daily loss, total drawdown, and news restrictions). The firm outlines prohibited practices (such as latency arbitrage, HFT, and cross‑account hedging abuse) and an anti‑gambling policy intended to maintain fair conditions. Payment methods include cards and crypto, and the minimum payout is $100 with typical processing of 2–5 business days. Traders should review the Customer/Privacy policies and legal disclaimers to understand the simulated nature of trading and jurisdictional restrictions.

Trading Rules (funded accounts)

Loss limits are central. Depending on plan, the daily loss limit is typically 3% or 5% and the maximum total drawdown is 3%, 5%, 6%, or 10% using either trailing or static methodologies. Certain plans lock the drawdown at the initial balance when a payout is requested (e.g., 1‑Step Standard and Instant Funding), while 1‑Step Plus resets drawdown on payout. Minimum profitable trading days generally apply in funded stages as outlined per plan.

Payout cadence is usually every 14 days. 2‑Step Plus provides the first payout on demand once funded, and Nova funded accounts also support on‑demand withdrawals. A $100 minimum applies and processing typically takes 2–5 business days via crypto or bank transfer.

Trading Restrictions

News trading: opening or closing trades on affected instruments within ±2 minutes of high‑impact news is restricted in the funded stage; profits from violations are removed. EAs are allowed but commercial/high‑frequency/latency‑arbitrage bots, toxic tick scalping, and platform/price‑feed abuse are prohibited. Hedging is permitted within a single account but cross‑account or cross‑broker hedging is not allowed. Copy trading is allowed only between your own Atmos accounts. Overnight and weekend holding is permitted.

• Consistency caps: 1‑Step Plus funded accounts have a 45% single‑day profit cap; Instant Funding uses a 20% cap.
• Breaches: exceeding daily loss/total drawdown or violating prohibited practices triggers account closure and forfeiture of profits for that account.

Leverage structure

Atmos publishes leverage by asset class: Forex 1:50, Metals 1:15, Indices 1:10, and Crypto 1:2. Leverage and symbol availability are visible in MT5.

Atmos uses a multi‑asset CFD environment delivered on MT5. Traders can access major asset classes commonly used by funded traders and manage position sizing under a standardized leverage framework.

• Forex: major, minor, and selected cross pairs (leverage 1:50).
• Indices: leading global equity indices (leverage 1:10).
• Metals: Gold, Silver and related spot metals (leverage 1:15).
• Crypto: selected crypto pairs with conservative leverage (1:2).

Instrument lists and precise contract specifications are visible directly in the MT5 Market Watch and symbol properties. Traders should review symbol‑level trading hours, spreads, commissions, and swap parameters inside the platform before deploying live strategies on an evaluation.

Atmos supports MetaTrader 5 (MT5) only, available on desktop, web, and mobile. The single‑platform approach simplifies onboarding and preserves EA compatibility for algorithmic traders. Residents of restricted jurisdictions (including the U.S.) are not eligible to open accounts.

MetaTrader 5 (MT5) — MT5 is the firm’s standardized platform across evaluations and funded accounts. Key practical benefits include broad indicator/EA support via MQL5, multi‑device access (desktop, web, and mobile), and a familiar order workflow for discretionary and automated traders.

• Key features: multi‑asset support, flexible order types, depth of market, strategy automation via EAs (subject to Atmos rules), and a large ecosystem of tools.
• Access options: desktop download, web terminal, and iOS/Android mobile apps; login credentials are provided after purchase.

Mobile Trading — MT5 mobile apps on iOS and Android allow monitoring and basic execution on the go. Traders can manage risk, modify stops/targets, and close positions, which is helpful for meeting minimum trading day requirements or managing news‑window restrictions.

Atmos combines multiple funding tracks with operational conveniences designed for active traders. A notable pathway is Nova, a pay‑after‑pass model that lets traders start for $5, finish a 5% target with defined loss limits, and then pay a funded activation fee only if they pass. For traditional evaluations, Atmos runs 1‑Step and 2‑Step tracks with clear risk parameters and unlimited time to pass. Instant Funding is available for traders who want to begin in a funded environment immediately.

Beyond entry models, several policy and payout mechanics matter in practice. The drawdown lock on payout (for selected plans) preserves the stop‑out at the initial balance after a withdrawal, which can reduce the risk of post‑payout breaches if traders keep a buffer. Conversely, 1‑Step Plus resets the trailing drawdown on payout, which appeals to traders who prefer an aggressive risk/reward profile after each withdrawal. Consistency caps (where applicable) are published up front to avoid disputes about single‑day concentration of profits.

Scaling and integration are part of the firm’s pitch. Atmos highlights scaling potential up to $400,000 across its programs. Traders can route payouts directly to a Taurex live account and, according to the site, receive a 10% deposit bonus on transfers—useful for those building capital at a broker while keeping prop flows organized.

Platform and education support are straightforward. MT5 is the sole platform, with help‑center guides for installation and login. The public knowledge base documents trading rules, loss‑limit math, consistency policies, news‑window logic, and restricted strategies (e.g., latency arbitrage or cross‑account hedging abuse). Combined with 24/7 support (chat/email/WhatsApp/phone) and a multilingual site, the operational package is easy for both manual and EA traders to navigate.

valuation fees

Published pricing varies by plan and account size. Examples at the time of writing include: 1‑Step Standard from $43 (5k) to $749 (200k); 1‑Step Plus from $37 (10k) to $175 (150k); 2‑Step Standard from $63 (5k) to $989 (200k); 2‑Step Plus from $28 (5k) to $379 (100k). Nova starts at $5 to enter; after passing, a funded activation fee applies by size (e.g., $79 for 10k to $1,029 for 200k). Instant Funding pricing ranges from $75 (5k) to $649 (100k). Promotional discounts may apply periodically.

Trading commissions

Atmos states that trading uses raw spreads with a commission per lot. Help‑center guidance provides an example of $5 per round‑turn lot on FX to illustrate total cost calculation alongside spreads; traders should confirm the exact commission shown in MT5 for each symbol before trading, as spreads and commissions are variable and market‑dependent.

Swap/holding costs

Overnight and weekend holding is allowed. Swap charges and rollover effects may appear in MT5 and should be incorporated into risk/reward planning—especially for swing positions or for instruments with wider financing differentials.

Refund policy

Fees are refundable only in narrow, pre‑trade scenarios (e.g., duplicate payment or delivery failure). Once MT5 credentials are issued or trading begins—or after 14 days from purchase—fees are non‑refundable. Processing times are typically 5–10 business days for cards and 24–48 hours for crypto refunds when approved.

Profit split

Atmos reports a performance‑based split that starts at 80% to the trader and can scale to 90% for consistent performers and/or as traders progress through scaling tiers.

Payout eligibility and rules

Funded accounts must be in profit and free of rule breaches. Many plans use a bi‑weekly schedule; 2‑Step Plus offers the first payout on demand, and Nova funded accounts support on‑demand payouts. Some plans include a drawdown lock at payout—once a withdrawal is requested, the max drawdown is fixed at the initial balance—so traders should leave a buffer to avoid breaching after a full withdrawal.

Payout schedule

Standard cadence is every 14 days for 1‑Step, 2‑Step Standard, and Instant Funding. 2‑Step Plus offers the first payout on demand and then every 14 days. Nova funded accounts have on‑demand payouts. Atmos lists a $100 minimum withdrawal and typical processing within 2–5 business days.

Payment methods

Payouts can be requested via crypto (e.g., USDT, BTC, ETH), bank wire/local solutions where supported, or by transferring directly to a Taurex brokerage account. The transfer‑to‑broker option is pitched as instant and may include a 10% deposit bonus per the site’s materials.
