GET THE FUNDING YOU NEED
A Funding Program Designed for Traders, By Traders
The prop trading landscape is full of dishonest companies and characters, yet so many traders rely on these resources to amplify their earning potential. At Trade ATS, we saw the need to create a transparent funding option for traders who want to build a long-term, stable funding base to build their career on top of.
Unlike traditional prop firms, we’ve created a funding program that eliminates unnecessary barriers and puts traders first. ATS Capital Partners connects you with the largest and most well-capitalized retail prop firm in the world, Prop Account LLC.
We transparently pass on all pricing and services to you as a Trade ATS member. This means you know exactly where your trading funds are coming from, and who's behind your funding infrustructure.
*Trade ATS and ATS Capital Partners do not collect any prop-related funds. All money is paid directly to Prop Account, LLC.

No-Cost Funding Challenge Overview
The ATS Capital, KickStart Funding Challenge
ATS Capital Partners is one of the only prop firms that gives our traders a zero evaluation cost way to scale their assets under management, simply by displaying good trading habits. Here is how the program works:
STEP 1: Request a $25,000 Demo Evaluation account.
STEP 2: Earn a 10% return while adhering to the additional program rules and pass your Demo Evaluation.
STEP 3: Receive a $25,000 Real Evaluation at no cost to you.
STEP 4: Pass your Real Evaluation and get funded with $25,000 of capital.
STEP 5: Use your new $25,000 account to earn income and/or fund your future evaluations for higher account limits.
All active ATS members can request a KickStart challenge account an unlimited number of times until they get funded. (See additional rules below.)
KickStart Funding Challenge Additional Rules
In order to qualify for your No-Cost $25,000 evaluation, you must observe the following rules in addition to the standard rules associated with our funding program. Please read them carefully, as all accounts will be reviewed for compliance before a Real Evaluation is issued.
Rule #1: You must show a minimum of 15 active trading days.
Rule #2: You must show consistency in your position sizing, average gain, and loss per trade during the entire time span of your evaluation. An example of what would be considered unacceptable is a single leveraged opportunity making over half of your total profit target.
Rule #3: You are not allowed to request more than 1 demo account every 15 days. If you have requested multiple active accounts within 15 days of one another, each of those accounts will not qualify for a no-cost evaluation if passed.
These additional rules are to prevent anyone from trying to game the system since there is no upfront cost. They are here to ensure someone shows consistency and viable risk management in their approach as all traders should. Those who are able to demonstrate this steady growth ideal will get the opportunity they deserve.
In the event you pass your Demo Evaluation, you are no longer subject to the additional program rules - It will be exactly the same rule set as if you bought your Real Evaluation.

General Prop Trading FAQs
What is the difference between a Hard Breach and Soft Breach rule?
- Soft breach means that we will close all trades that have violated the rule. However, you can continue trading in your Assessment or Funded Account.
- Hard breach means that you violated either the Daily Loss Limit or Max Trailing Drawdown rule. Both rules constitute a hard breach. In the event you have a hard breach, you will fail the Assessment or have your Funded Account taken away.
How do you calculate the Daily Loss Limit?
The Daily Loss Limit is the maximum amount an account may lose in a single trading day. This limit resets each day at 5:00 PM EST. The Daily Loss Limit is calculated using the greater of the prior day’s end of day balance, which includes closed P&L only, or the prior day’s end of day equity, which includes both balance and any open P&L. This approach ensures that unrealized gains at the end of the trading day are properly reflected when determining the allowable loss for the following session. If a trader finishes the day with open positions that are in profit, the account equity will be higher than the balance, and equity will be used to calculate the Daily Loss Limit. If a trader finishes the day with no open positions, balance and equity are the same, and the balance will be used. If a trader finishes the day with open positions that are in a loss, equity will be lower than balance, and the balance will be used.
Example: A trader has a $100,000 account with a 5 percent Daily Loss Limit. At the 5:00 PM EST reset, the account balance is $100,000 and there are open positions in profit, resulting in account equity of $102,000. Because the equity is higher than the balance, the Daily Loss Limit is calculated using the $102,000 equity value. Five percent of $102,000 is $5,100, meaning the account will violate the Daily Loss Limit if intraday equity reaches $96,900 at any point during the next trading day. If the trader had no open positions, or open positions that were in a loss, the Daily Loss Limit would instead be based on the $100,000 balance, resulting in a breach level of $95,000.
How do you calculate the Maximum Trailing Drawdown?
The Maximum Trailing Drawdown is initially set at 6% and trails (using CLOSED BALANCE - NOT equity) your account until you have achieved a 6% return in your account. Once you have achieved a 6% return the Maximum Trailing Drawdown no longer trails and is permanently locked in at your starting balance. Example: If your starting balance is $100,000, you can drawdown to $94,000 before you would violate the Maximum Trailing Drawdown rule. Then for example let's say you take your account to $102,000 in CLOSED BALANCE. This is your new high-water mark, which would mean your new Maximum Trailing Drawdown would be $96,000. Next, let's say you take your account to $106,000 in CLOSED BALANCE, which would be your new high-water mark. At this point your Maximum Trailing Drawdown would be locked in at your starting balance of $100,000. So, regardless of how high your account goes, you would only breach this rule if your account drew back down to $100,000 (note, you can still violate the daily drawdown). For example, if you take your account to $170,000, as long as you do not drawdown more than 5% in any given day, you would only breach if your account equity reaches $100,000.
Can I hold positions over the weekend?
We require all trades to be closed by 3:45pm EST on Friday. Any trades left open after this time will automatically be closed. Note, this is only a soft breach and you will be able to continue trading once the markets reopen.
What is 1 lot equal to on the Trading Platform?
- Forex: 1 lot = $100k
- notional Index: 1 lot = 1
Contract Exceptions:
- SPX500: 1 lot = 10 contracts
- JPN225: 1 lot = 500 contracts
- Cryptos: 1 lot = 1 coin
- Silver: 1 lot = 5000 ounces
- Gold: 1 lot = 100 ounces
- Oil: 1 lot = 100 barrels
Is there a breach for inactivity?
Yes. We will consider you inactive and your account will be breached if you do not have any trading activity on your account for 30 consecutive days.
How long does it take to receive my funded account?
Upon passing your Assessment, you will receive an email with instructions on how to access and complete both your “Know Your Customer” verification and your “Trader Agreement”. Once both are completed and supporting documentation is provided, your Funded Account will be created, funded and issued to you typically within 24-48 business hours. You will receive a confirmation email once this account is enabled.
Once I pass the Assessment am I provided with a demo or funded account?
Once you pass the Assessment, we provide you with a funded account, backed by our capital. The capital in your funded Account is notional and may not match the amount of capital on deposit with the Liquidity Provider. A Funded Account is notionally funded when actual funds in the account (i.e., the equity in a Funded Account represented by the amount of capital) differs from the nominal account size (i.e., the size of the Funded Account that establishes the initial account value and level of trading). Notional funds are the difference between nominal account size and actual capital in a Funded Account. Use of notional funding does not impact your trading conditions in any way.
Do we manipulate the pricing or executions you receive in your funded account?
No. We do not have any control over pricing from the liquidity provider or on the executions on your trades.
Who is the counterparty to my trades?
For purposes of managing risk and minimizing transaction costs, we may offset or negate market risk and act as the direct counterparty to certain trades initiated in the Account. Such trades are executed at prices provided by arm’s length third parties. This framework is intended to ensure you receive real market execution on your trades, while simultaneously allowing us to manage risk dynamically by routing existing positions or future orders to third parties for execution as we deem appropriate. We believe that such real market execution and dynamic risk management would not be possible or as cost- effective if trades were executed in simulated accounts. Regardless of whether we act as counterparty to your trades, the gain or loss on your funded account is not calculated differently. However, when we act as the counterparty to your trades, there is an inherent potential conflict of interest because your trades do not result in net gain or loss to us, as your trades would if we were not the direct counterparty.
Am I subject to any position limits?
The maximum position that you may open is determined by your available margin. We reserve the right to increase the margin requirement, limit the number of open positions you may enter or maintain in the Funded Account at any time, and to revise in response to market conditions the drawdown levels at which trading in the funded account will be halted. We or the Liquidity Provider reserve the right to refuse to accept any order.
What are the rules for the funded account?
The rules for the funded account are exactly the same as your Assessment account. However, with a funded account, there is no profit target.
If I have a hard breach in my Funded Account and there are gains in the account, do I forfeit
those gains?
Yes. If you have a hard breach in your funded account, any accumulated gains in the account will
be forfeited unless you have purchased the Payout Protector add-on. Please review the FAQs
for additional details.
What is Payout Protector?
Payout Protector is an optional add-on that enables you to still receive a payout on any gains in
your account, despite the fact that you breached your account (provided all other conditions for
a withdrawal are met and your account is not otherwise in violation of our Terms and
Conditions).
How does Payout Protector work?
Example: Assume you are trading a $100,000 Funded account and have generated $8,000 in gains at the
time you breach your account.
Without Payout Protector, the account would be closed and the $8,000 would be forfeited.
With Payout Protector, the account would still be closed due to the breach, but you would still
receive your portion of the $8,000 gain made in the account.
Does Payout Protector prevent my account from breaching?
No. The account will still be considered breached if a rule violation occurs. Payout Protector
does not remove or alter risk parameters. It only protects your gain from being forfeited in the
event of an account breach.
Is Payout Protector required?
No. It is entirely optional and must be selected at the time of purchase.

How do I withdraw the gains in my funded account?
Traders can request a withdrawal of the gains in their funded account at any time in their trader dashboard, but no more frequently than once per thirty (30) days. So, if you make gain in your funded account, you can request a withdrawal. When you are ready to withdraw the gains from your funded account, click the Withdraw Profits button in your trader dashboard and enter the amount to withdraw. All such gains are distributed via the available outbound payment solutions offered from time to time. Once your withdrawal request is approved, we will pay the monies owed to you. We reserve the right to change the withdrawal methods and options at any time.
When can I withdraw the gains in my funded account and how does that affect my Maximum Trailing Drawdown?
Your first withdrawal can be requested at any time. Thereafter, you can request a withdrawal of the gains in your account every 30 days. When a withdrawal is approved, we will also withdraw our share of the gains, and your max trailing drawdown will lock in at your starting balance. The trailing drawdown does not reset when you request a withdrawal. Example: You have taken an account from $100,000 to $120,000. You then request a withdrawal of $16,000. In this scenario, you will receive $12,000 and we would retain $4,000. This would also take the balance of the account down to $104,000, and your Maximum Trailing Drawdown is locked in at $100,000. So, you would have $4,000 maximum you could lose on the account before it would violate the Maximum Trailing Drawdown rule. If you take a full withdrawal of the gains in your Funded Account, the Maximum Trailing Drawdown will still lock in at the starting balance and will therefore result in the forfeiting of your Funded Account, as your balance will trigger the Maximum Trailing Drawdown breach rule.
Do I have to use one of your accounts for the Assessment or can I use my own?
We have risk management software that is synced with the accounts we create. This allows us to analyze your performance in real time for achievements or rule violations. As such, you must use an account that we provide to you.
What Countries are accepted?
Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, traders from all countries, excluding OFAC listed countries, can take part in our program, unless otherwise limited at the Company’s discretion.
What is the minimum age I must be to be part of your program?
You must be at least 18 years of age, or the applicable minimum legal age in your country, to purchase an assessment.
Where do I track the progress of my account?
Upon purchasing an Assessment, you will receive access to a trader dashboard where you can monitor your Assessment and Funded Accounts. The dashboard is updated every time we calculate metrics, which occurs roughly every 60 seconds. It is your responsibility to monitor your breach levels.
What Platform can I trade on?
Our prop technology is currently integrated with DXtrade, MatchTrader & cTrader and GooeyPro platforms.
Keep in mind that the prop trading platforms provided are different from the platforms provided by ATS software. The indicators only work on the TradingView platform.

What products can I trade?
You can trade any products streamed by the Liquidity Provider into the available platforms, as such products may change from time to time. This includes FX pairs and CFD Indices, Commodities, Metals, and Cryptocurrencies.
What is the leverage?
We offer up to 20:1 leverage on Forex and Metals, up to 10:1 leverage on Indices, up to 5:1 leverage on Oil and up to 2:1 leverage on Cryptocurrencies.
What are the trading hours?

- DXtrade – Right click symbol, select “Instrument Info”
- MatchTrader – Click symbol to expand, select “Info”
- cTrader – Navigate to Symbol Window, scroll down to see “Market Hours” for selected symbol
Please note that holidays can have an impact on available trading hours. Additionally, pursuant to the no holding trades over the weekend rule, we close all open trades at 3:45pm EST on Fridays. Please note if a holiday falls on a Friday and the markets are closed, the trader is responsible for closing positions before the markets close on the prior Thursday.

Kickstart Funding FAQs
What is the Kickstart Funding Challenge?
All ATS Premium Members have access to no-evaluation cost funding through our Kickstart program. By passing the kickstart challenge, a trader can get their first $25K funded account without having to pay for any evaluations. It is included in the premium ATS monthly membership.
The Kickstart program allows ATS members to trade a demo $25k evaluation. If passed, the participant will be awarded with a real, $25k evaluation at no cost. If that is passed, the participant will be awarded a $25K real capital account.
How does kickstart funding work?
The kickstart challenge works almost exactly like a regular funding challenge, with the addition of one extra step. ATS members can request to trade a demo $25k evaluation. If passed, the participant will be awarded with a real, $25k evaluation at no cost. If that is passed, the participant will be awarded a $25K real capital account.
What are the rules for kickstart funding?
Kickstart accounts are structurally the same as our normal evaluation accounts. The only difference is that Kickstart accounts are demo evaluations instead of being real. A demo Kickstart account will follow all of the same base rules as a normal evaluation, including: the 10% profit target, 5% max daily drawdown, and a 6% max drawdown. See the one-step evaluation and frequently asked questions to understand exactly how funding accounts work.
Are there additional rules for the kickstart challenge?
Yes. Here are the additional rules that must be followed to qualify for kickstart funding.
- You must show a minimum of 15 unique trading days of history before passing the challenge. This means you need to have opened a new trade on 15 different days. This shows a level of consistency we want to see and keeps traders from trying to gamble on one big trade to try to pass the challenge.
- You cannot request more than one Kickstart Funding Challenge account within a 15-day period.
- You must be an active Trade ATS member in good standing in order to participate in the challenge. If you start a challenge in good standing and then upon passing the challenge, are not holding an active ATS membership that's up to date, you will be denied your free evaluation account.
- The Kickstart Challenge is designed to be a starting point that is accessible to everyone to secure their first funded account. If you want to scale past the initial $25,000 account size, members will need to purchase larger account evaluations on their own at normal costs.
How long does it take to get my free evaluation if I pass the Kickstart Challenge?
if a member passes the Kickstart Challenge, their free $25,000 evaluation will typically be awarded within 48 hours.
Do the Kickstart Challenge additional rules apply to the real evaluation account once I pass the Demo Challenge?
No, once you pass the Kickstart Challenge demo account, you will be awarded with a real $25,000 evaluation account. These accounts will only be subject to the standard prop firm rules of any other paid evaluation.
Do Kickstart award accounts come with any additional add-ons?
Yes, all real evaluations that are awarded for participants who have passed the Kickstart Demo Challenge will come with a free over-the-weekend hold upgrade. We pay for this addition because of our heavy emphasis on longer-term trading.
What is the profit split if I pass both steps of the Kickstart Challenge?
If both steps of the Kickstart Challenge are passed, including the initial demo challenge step and then the real evaluation step, participants will receive a 75% profit split on their funded account. 90% profit splits are unavailable in this particular challenge.
How many times can I take the Kickstart Challenge?
Active members can take the Kickstart Challenge an unlimited amount of times as long as they hold an active and current ATS subscription.
