The Master Pattern

The banks run the same playbook. Every time.

The Master Pattern maps how institutions accumulate, expand, and trend. ATS identifies each phase in real time, so you can see where price is in the cycle at a glance.

01

Contraction

Price compresses as institutions quietly build positions.

02

Expansion

Price expands, sweeps liquidity, and begins to reveal intent.

03

Trend

The true directional move takes over.

We Give You Clarity

95% of retail traders fail. Here's why.

01

Following Mainstream Strategies

Most traders follow the crowd—and inherit the crowd's results. ATS is built around seeing the market differently.

02

Blind to Institutional Money Flow

Large institutional flows drive major price movement. ATS is designed to make that footprint easier to see.

03

Under Funded

Skill matters, but so does capital. ATS gives members a path to prove consistency and pursue meaningful funding.

Caught in the never-ending cycle of system development

Many traders repeat the same loop: backtest, demo, go live, lose confidence, switch systems. Settings-based indicators keep them optimizing for yesterday's market.

ATS is different: no settings and no constant re-optimization. It adapts to changing conditions and keeps the focus on market structure.

Our Story

Built to empower traders everywhere

From a Southern California trading room to a global platform, ATS has spent more than a decade building tools for serious retail traders.

Wade Guth, founder of Trade ATS
Hi, I'm Wade

Founder of Trade ATS

I entered algorithmic trading in 2010 and became obsessed with market structure. Since then, I've spent thousands of hours trading, building systems, and coaching traders.

Today, Trade ATS and ATS Capital Partners bring software, education, coaching, community, and funding under one roof—all built around one methodology.

ATS indicators run exclusively on TradingView through invite-only scripts. Prop trades are executed separately on the platforms provided by the funding partner.

Members get step-by-step courses, weekly live webinars, and one 30-minute private coaching call every 30 days while the membership is active and in good standing.

Dedicated students who follow our advice carefully can expect to see significant positive changes in their performance over the course of three to six months. Keep in mind that we do not guarantee positive results. Results may vary from person to person.

ATS is designed for liquid markets including forex, crypto, futures, commodities, and equities across multiple timeframes. Very low-liquidity or flat markets may produce fewer usable patterns.

No. ATS provides software, education, and a structured framework; results depend on the trader's skill, discipline, and risk management.

Below we have outlined what we feel most would consider pretty reasonable codes of conduct. Violating these codes of conduct will not be tolerated and can result in a permanent ban at the discretion of ATS Moderators and staff - possibly even a timeout in the corner.

  1. No Spam / Advertising / Self-promote in the forums. These forums define spam as unsolicited advertisement for goods, services, and/or other websites, or posts with little, or completely unrelated content. Do not spam the forums with links to your site or product, or try to self-promote your website, business or forums, etc. Spamming also includes sending private messages to a large number of different users. DO NOT ASK for email addresses or phone numbers on the main forum or any spaces. Your account will be banned permanently and your posts will be deleted. We understand some users might exchange contact information in the context of trading, which is totally fine if voluntarily done. If a user reports harassment from another user, an investigation will take place in which permanent suspension may occur.
  2. Do not post copyright-infringing material. Providing or asking for information on how to illegally obtain copyrighted materials is forbidden. Just don't do it.
  3. Do not post "offensive" posts, links, or images. Any material which constitutes defamation, harassment, or abuse is strictly prohibited. Material that is sexually or otherwise obscene, racist, or otherwise overly discriminatory is not permitted on these forums. This includes user pictures. Use common sense while posting. We understand trading dynamics and making the experience of watching the markets enjoyable with a little humor. We simply ask you not to push things to a point others would find offensive.
  4. Do not cross-post questions. Please refrain from posting the same question in several spaces. There is normally one space that is most suitable in which to post your question.
  5. Do not send other users private requests for help without permission. If you need help, make a new post in the appropriate space, then the whole community can help and benefit. In the event a user offers personal help in this post, then there is no issue in messaging them. What we would like to avoid are certain users that have success with ATS being targeted with questions from the community for help without it being on their terms to extend that help. Emotions can run high when trading and we don't want to push on others too much when things might get tough.
  6. Remain respectful of other members at all times. All posts should be professional and courteous. The Trading Floor should be treated as a professional setting in which traders are looking to trade profitably. You have every right to disagree with your fellow community members about particular points or trading ideas and explain your perspective. However, you are not free to attack, degrade, insult, or otherwise belittle them or the quality of this community. It does not matter what title or power you hold in these forums, you are expected to obey this rule.

No, Trade ATS is strictly a software and education company. We do not advise members on investments, do not give trading signals, and do not perform any tasks that a traditional financial advisor may perform. We offer software and education on that software only.

You can reach out to us using the Contact Us page at www.tradeats.com or you can send us a direct email at [support email]. Please allow up to 48 hours for responses.

Members can visit our Member Support Portal and request termination of their account if they decide they want to stop service at any time; Cancellations must be required at least 48 hours before the billing cycle ends to avoid charges for the next period. Keep in mind that members are grandfathered in at whatever price they joined at. If prices of the ATS software rise in the future, the last subscription price you had may not be honored.

ATS Capital Partners

Prop funding FAQs

Everything about evaluations, funded accounts, payouts, and the KickStart Challenge.

General Prop Trading

ATS Capital Partners uses a simple, one-step evaluation. The evaluation fee depends on the size of the funded account you are working toward:

$25,000 funded account$250 Evaluation
$50,000 funded account$500 Evaluation
$100,000 funded account$1,000 Evaluation
$250,000 funded account$2,500 Evaluation
$500,000 funded account$5,000 Evaluation
$1,000,000 funded account$10,000 Evaluation
Why the premium pricing?

These evaluations are built around premium real-funded accounts backed by real capital and live market execution. They are not a demo-only payout model or a disposable challenge designed around constant resets. There is no deadline forcing you to hit the evaluation target within a set number of days, and traders who pass are moving toward an account designed to be traded and developed over the long term, subject to the program's normal risk and activity rules. The higher evaluation cost reflects that more serious structure.

ATS Premium Members can start for $0 in evaluation fees. The KickStart Challenge included with an active membership provides a path to the first $25,000 funded account without paying the standard $250 evaluation fee.

A soft breach means any trades that violated the rule are closed, but you can keep trading your Assessment or Funded Account. A hard breach means you violated the Daily Loss Limit or Max Trailing Drawdown; either one fails the Assessment or ends the Funded Account.

The Daily Loss Limit is the maximum an account may lose in a single trading day, resetting at 5:00 PM EST. It's calculated on the greater of the prior day's end-of-day balance (closed P&L only) or end-of-day equity (balance plus open P&L). Example: a $100K account with a 5% limit ends the day with open profits putting equity at $102,000; the limit is based on $102,000, so a breach occurs if intraday equity touches $96,900 the next session. With no open positions, or open positions at a loss, the balance is used instead.

It starts at 6% and trails your closed balance (not equity) until you've achieved a 6% return, at which point it locks permanently at your starting balance. Example: starting at $100K, you can draw down to $94K. Close the account up to $102K and the trailing level becomes $96K. Reach $106K in closed balance and the drawdown locks at $100K forever, no matter how high the account grows, you only breach this rule if you fall back to $100K (the daily limit still applies).

All trades must be closed by 3:45 PM EST on Friday; anything left open is closed automatically. This is only a soft breach, and you can continue trading when markets reopen.

Forex: 1 lot = $100K notional. Index: 1 lot = 1 contract, with exceptions: SPX500 = 10 contracts, JPN225 = 500 contracts. Cryptos: 1 lot = 1 coin. Silver: 5,000 ounces. Gold: 100 ounces. Oil: 100 barrels.

Yes. An account with no trading activity for 30 consecutive days is considered inactive and will be breached.

After passing your Assessment, you'll receive instructions to complete KYC verification and your Trader Agreement. Once both are done with supporting documentation, your Funded Account is typically created, funded, and issued within 24 to 48 business hours.

You receive a funded account backed by real capital. Accounts are notionally funded, meaning the capital shown may differ from the amount on deposit with the liquidity provider, but notional funding does not affect your trading conditions in any way.

No. There is no control over pricing from the liquidity provider or over the execution of your trades.

To manage risk and minimize transaction costs, the firm may act as direct counterparty to certain trades, executed at prices provided by arm's-length third parties. Your gains and losses are calculated the same way either way, and this framework exists to deliver real market execution. When the firm is your counterparty there is an inherent potential conflict of interest, which is disclosed transparently.

Your maximum position is determined by available margin. The firm reserves the right to adjust margin requirements, limit open positions, and revise drawdown halt levels in response to market conditions, and any order may be refused.

Exactly the same as your Assessment account, except a funded account has no profit target.

Yes, accumulated gains are forfeited on a hard breach unless you purchased the optional Payout Protector add-on, which preserves your share of the gains even when the account is closed for a breach.

An optional add-on selected at purchase. If you breach your funded account with gains in it, you still receive your portion of those gains (provided withdrawal conditions are met). Example: breach a $100K account holding $8,000 in gains, without Payout Protector the $8,000 is forfeited; with it, you're still paid your share. It does not prevent breaches or alter any risk parameters.

Request a withdrawal any time from your trader dashboard, no more than once per 30 days. Click Withdraw Profits, enter the amount, and once approved you're paid through the available payment solutions.

Your first withdrawal can be requested any time, then every 30 days. When approved, the firm withdraws its share too, and your trailing drawdown locks at your starting balance. Example: grow $100K to $120K and withdraw $16,000, you receive $12,000, the firm retains $4,000, the balance drops to $104K, and the drawdown is locked at $100K, leaving $4K of room. A full withdrawal of all gains triggers the drawdown rule and forfeits the account.

No. Risk management software is synced to the accounts provided, allowing real-time performance analysis, so you must use an account issued to you.

Subject to applicable laws, traders from all countries can participate, excluding OFAC-listed countries, unless otherwise limited at the company's discretion.

You must be at least 18 years old, or the applicable minimum legal age in your country, to purchase an assessment.

Your trader dashboard, provided on purchase, tracks Assessment and Funded Accounts with metrics updated roughly every 60 seconds. Monitoring your breach levels is your responsibility.

The prop technology is integrated with DXtrade, MatchTrader, cTrader, and GooeyPro. Note these are separate from ATS software: the indicators only work on TradingView, so members do their ATS chart analysis on TradingView and execute prop trades on the provided platforms.

Anything streamed by the liquidity provider into the available platforms, including FX pairs and CFD indices, commodities, metals, and cryptocurrencies, subject to change over time.

Up to 20:1 on Forex and Metals, 10:1 on Indices, 5:1 on Oil, and 2:1 on Cryptocurrencies.

Hours are generally set by the liquidity provider, viewable per symbol in each platform (Instrument Info in DXtrade, Info in MatchTrader, Market Hours in cTrader). Holidays can affect hours, and all open trades close at 3:45 PM EST on Fridays; if a Friday holiday closes markets, positions must be closed the prior Thursday.

Funded accounts receive the same pricing and commissions the liquidity provider charges other self-funded retail accounts.

Yes, subject to the Prohibited Trading policy.

Prohibited activity includes exploiting pricing or platform errors and latency, using non-public or insider information, front-running, trading that jeopardizes liquidity provider relationships or creates regulatory issues, third-party or off-the-shelf strategies marketed to pass challenges, switching strategies between assessment and funded accounts, and arbitraging assessment accounts against other accounts. Detected prohibited trading terminates participation and can forfeit fees; all trading activity is reviewed before a funded account is issued, and the company may block any trader at its discretion.

Trading within 3 minutes before or after a news event is prohibited. Trades made during a news event in the challenge phase can be removed, leverage can be reduced, or the account can be breached. What constitutes a news event is determined at the company's sole discretion.

Charges come across in the name of dashboardanalytix.com.

Traders on funded accounts are treated as independent contractors and are responsible for any and all taxes on their gains.

KickStart Funding

All ATS Premium Members get a zero-evaluation-cost path to funding, included in the premium monthly membership. Pass a demo $25K evaluation and you're awarded a real $25K evaluation at no cost; pass that, and you receive a $25K real capital account.

It works almost exactly like a regular funding challenge with one extra step: members request a demo $25K evaluation first. Passing it awards a free real $25K evaluation, and passing that awards the $25K funded account.

Structurally identical to normal evaluations, the only difference is the KickStart account is a demo. The same base rules apply: 10% profit target, 5% max daily drawdown, and 6% max drawdown.

Yes: a minimum of 15 unique trading days before passing (a new trade opened on 15 different days), no more than one KickStart account requested within any 15-day period, and you must be an active Trade ATS member in good standing, including at the time you pass. KickStart is a starting point for your first funded account; scaling past $25K means purchasing larger evaluations at normal cost.

Free $25,000 evaluations are typically awarded within 48 hours of passing the KickStart Challenge.

No. Once you pass the demo, the awarded real $25,000 evaluation is subject only to the standard rules of any paid evaluation.

Yes. Real evaluations awarded through KickStart include a free over-the-weekend hold upgrade, paid for because of the program's emphasis on longer-term trading.

75% on the funded account. 90% splits are unavailable in this particular challenge.

Unlimited attempts, as long as you hold an active and current ATS subscription.
