ATFunded is backed by ATFX broker, which adds credibility. However, news restrictions on both plans and trailing DD on the Pro plan make it less suitable for automated strategies. Best for: EAs with built-in news filters and a preference for MT5 on a broker-backed platform.
Does ATFunded allow EA trading?
Yes. ATFunded permits Expert Advisors on MT5 across Pro and Legacy plans with no pre-approval required. Standard automated strategies run without restriction.
Does ATFunded have a news filter rule for EAs?
Yes. News trading is heavily restricted on both Pro and Legacy plans. Your EA must avoid opening or closing trades around high-impact scheduled news.
Is martingale or grid trading allowed on ATFunded?
Neither is explicitly banned, but high-risk automated strategies are reviewed. Grid and martingale EAs can be used provided they comply with the drawdown and risk rules.
