Atmos Funded review
Atmos Funded is a forex and CFD prop firm that describes itself as the prop trading arm of the broker Taurex. Challenges and payments are provided by AtmosFunded Ltd in Nicosia, Cyprus, while the website and simulated trading are operated by Atmos Global Ltd, registered in the Comoros. All accounts trade on MetaTrader 5 with leverage of 1:50 on forex, 1:15 on metals, 1:10 on indices and 1:2 on crypto. There are six products. The 1 Step Standard asks for 10% with a 3% daily limit and a 6% trailing drawdown, priced from $43 for $5,000 to $749 for $200,000. The 2 Step Standard asks for 10% and then 5% with a 5% daily limit and a 10% static maximum loss, from $63 to $989. The cheaper Plus versions use lower targets and tighter drawdowns, and the 1 Step Plus adds an activation fee of $65 or $125 after passing. Instant Funding skips the evaluation for $75 to $649, with a 5% trailing drawdown and a 20% consistency rule. Nova costs $5 to start at any size from $10,000 to $200,000, asks for 5% within an 8% trailing limit, and charges a funded fee of $79 to $1,029 only after a pass. The split starts at 80%, most accounts pay every 14 days, and the minimum payout is $100.
Suits
Cost conscious forex traders who want low entry prices, a choice of one step, two step, instant and pay after passing models, and MT5.
Less suited to
Avoid Atmos Funded if you trade high impact news on a funded account, rely on grid or martingale strategies, or live in the United States.
Pros
- Nova challenges cost $5 to start at any size, with the funded fee paid only after passing.
- The 2 Step Standard uses a static 10% maximum loss with no consistency rule.
- News trading is allowed in the challenge phase, and positions can be held overnight and over weekends.
- Expert advisors and hedging within a single account are permitted.
- Payouts can be sent to a Taurex live account with a 10% deposit bonus, as well as by crypto or bank wire.
Cons
- Funded accounts cannot open or close trades within two minutes of high impact news.
- Requesting a payout on 1 Step Standard, Instant and Nova accounts locks the drawdown at the starting balance, so a buffer must be left.
- The split starts at 80% and only rises through a scaling plan that needs four months and 15% profit.
- Grid trading, martingale and reversing a trade within 90 seconds are banned under the anti gambling policy.
- Funded accounts need three profitable days in every 14 day payout cycle.
Verdict
Atmos Funded offers a wide choice of structures at modest list prices, and the Nova challenge lowers the cost of a failed attempt, since the $5 entry fee is the only payment until a trader passes. The 2 Step Standard is the most conventional option, with a static 10% maximum loss, no consistency rule and news trading allowed during the challenge. Holding over weekends, expert advisors and hedging within one account are all permitted, and payouts can also be sent to a Taurex live account with a 10% deposit bonus.
The details need careful reading. Once funded, no trade can be opened or closed within two minutes of high impact news, and profits made in that window are removed. Funded accounts must record three profitable days of at least 0.5% in each 14 day cycle, and Nova needs seven before a payout. On the 1 Step Standard, Instant and Nova accounts, requesting a payout locks the drawdown at the starting balance, so withdrawing all profit would breach the account and a buffer must be left. The anti gambling policy also bans grid trading, martingale, reversing a position within 90 seconds and rapid bursts of orders, which can catch some automated strategies. The profit split starts at 80% and rises only through a scaling plan that needs four months, two payouts and 15% profit, and residents of the United States cannot join.
Trustpilot shows a rating of 3.5 from 351 reviews. Atmos Funded suits cost conscious forex traders who follow a structured plan, avoid news releases once funded and are comfortable keeping a buffer after each payout.

Payout timing depends on your plan: most are every 14 days, 2-Step Plus lets you take your first payout on demand then every 14 days after, and NOVA is on demand; you keep 80% to 90% of profits, and payouts are paid gross (you handle taxes)
