1-Step Standard

Single-phase evaluation: Traders must reach a 10% profit target in one phase to advance to the funded account stage. On a $5,000 account, this means generating $500 in closed profits while respecting all risk rules throughout the challenge.
Minimum profitable days: At least 3 profitable trading days are required to pass the challenge and per payout cycle in the funded stage. A day qualifies as profitable when closed trades generate at least 0.5% of the initial balance, meaning at least $25 profit per qualifying day on a $5,000 account.
Daily loss limit of 3% trailing: On a $5,000 account, the maximum daily loss starts at $150. The daily limit is calculated based on the highest value between account balance and equity at the start of each day. The dollar amount of the daily limit locks at the initial balance and does not change as the account grows, providing a stable reference point.
Maximum trailing drawdown of 6%: The total loss limit trails the highest equity point achieved. On a $5,000 account starting from initial balance, the drawdown floor starts at $4,700. If the account grows to $5,200, the new floor rises to $4,888, permanently tightening the buffer as profits accumulate. The trailing floor locks at the initial balance level and does not drop below it.
No time limit: Traders can take as long as needed to complete the challenge without any deadline pressure.
Leverage: 1:50 for Forex, 1:15 for Metals and Energies, 1:10 for Indices, and 1:2 for Crypto.
Profit split: 80% by default, with a 90% split available as an add-on at checkout.
Payout frequency: Bi-weekly (every 14 days) in the funded stage, with a minimum withdrawal of $100.
News trading in challenge: Permitted without restrictions during the evaluation phase.
News trading in funded stage: Opening or closing trades within 2 minutes before or after a high-impact news event is not permitted. Profits from such trades are removed, no breach triggered.
EAs and scalping permitted: Expert Advisors, manual scalping, swing trading, and intraday strategies allowed. HFT, latency arbitrage, tick scalping, and all-in sizing prohibited.
Weekend and overnight holding: Permitted with no restrictions.
Copy trading: Only between own Atmos Funded accounts.
No consistency rule: The 1-Step Standard does not impose any single-day profit cap.
Inactivity rule: 90 consecutive days of no trading results in automatic account closure.
Trailing drawdown tightens with profits: Unlike the 2-Step Standard's static drawdown, the 1-Step Standard uses a trailing max drawdown. Every time a new equity high is reached, the floor rises permanently. A trader who grows the account from $5,000 to $5,300 now has a floor of $4,982 instead of $4,700 — progressively reducing the safety margin even on profitable runs.
10% target against 6% trailing drawdown: With a 10% profit requirement and only 6% of drawdown available, the challenge requires generating more profit than the available risk buffer. A trader who loses $300 early (60% of the buffer) still needs to generate $500 in profit, requiring near-perfect execution from that point forward.
Single phase concentrates all variance: Without a Phase 2 to pace performance, traders must sustain discipline for the full 10% target in one continuous effort. A poor start that consumes significant drawdown can make reaching the target nearly impossible without extreme precision.
