FAQs
What's the catch with $5?
No catch. You pay a $5 setup fee to start a one-step evaluation. If you pass, you pay the challenge fee and get a funded account. If you don't pass, you've only ever spent $5. We make money when traders pass and we keep them — not from hiding fees.
How do I know I'll actually get paid?
Getting traders paid is the whole point — it’s how we’ve built our name. Once you pass your evaluation and reach a payout, you request your performance-based reward and we process it fast. You can see real payouts from real Atlas traders on [Trustpilot / our payouts page] before you ever put down your $5.
What happens if I fail the challenge?
Nothing dramatic — and nothing expensive. Your evaluation runs entirely on a simulated account, so there’s no real money at stake. With Pay Later you only put down $5 to start, so a failed attempt never costs you a full evaluation fee — if you breach a rule the challenge simply ends, and you can start a fresh one whenever you’re ready.
Is there a time limit?
No. Take as long as you need to reach your target — there’s no countdown, and no consistency rule dictating how you trade day to day. (Standard minimum trading days still apply.)
What can I trade, and on which platform?
You can trade forex, indices, metals, commodities and more on your simulated account. Atlas runs on TradeLocker and MetaTrader 5 — you choose your platform when you start (US-based traders trade on TradeLocker).
Is Atlas a broker or regulated firm?
No — and we’re upfront about it. Atlas isn’t a broker and doesn’t hold or manage your money. We’re a proprietary trading firm that runs skill-based evaluations on simulated accounts, so you’re never trading real capital — payouts are performance-based rewards for hitting your targets.
Start for $5. Prove your skill. Get funded.
No big upfront fee. No deadlines. No gimmicks. Just a fair chance to show what you can do.
All trading is simulated. Payouts are real performance-based rewards based on simulated performance.
