Prop-Firm & Funded Accounts

Funded traders are some of Atomik's heaviest users, for a simple reason: prop accounts multiply. One trader passes an evaluation, gets funded, buys two more evaluations — and suddenly the same strategy needs to execute identically on four accounts. That's exactly what Atomik is built for.

Check your firm's rules first​

Before automating anything: confirm automation is permitted under your specific program's rules. Policies differ between firms, and between evaluation and funded stages at the same firm. Some allow full automation, some allow semi-automation, some prohibit it. Atomik executes what you tell it to — staying inside your firm's rules is on you. When in doubt, ask your firm in writing.

How funded accounts connect​

Via Tradovate (available now)​

Many futures prop programs provision accounts on Tradovate infrastructure and give you a Tradovate login. If yours does, it connects to Atomik like any Tradovate account:

  1. Dashboard → Accounts panel → + Connect Account → Tradovate
  2. Log in with the Tradovate credentials your firm gave you and authorize

The account appears in your Accounts panel and works with everything: webhook strategies, engine strategies, copy trading, and the chart's manual trading panel.

TopstepX (private beta)​

Direct TopstepX connection via API key is in private beta — it requires an active TopstepX API-access subscription on the Topstep side. Contact [email protected] if you want early access.

Running one strategy across multiple funded accounts​

This is copy trading, and it's the core funded-trader workflow:

  1. Connect each funded/evaluation account
  2. Activate the same strategy on each, with per-account position sizing
  3. One signal executes on all of them — leader first, followers batched within 100ms

Per-account sizing matters here: an evaluation with a $2,000 trailing drawdown and a funded account with a $4,500 limit shouldn't trade the same size. Set each account's quantity to respect its risk parameters.

Copy trading requires the Pro plan or higher (Pro: 10 accounts; Elite: 25).

Practical advice from funded traders​

  • Rehearse the full loop on paper first. A webhook misfire that costs nothing on a paper account costs an evaluation fee on a real one.
  • Respect the daily loss limit in your strategy, not just your head. Build exits and a flatten time into the automation (see exit comments) so a runaway day can't breach your firm's limit while you're away from the screen.
  • Watch the first sessions live. Automation removes the execution work, not the supervision.
  • Consistency rules exist at many firms (max % of profit from a single day, minimum trading days). Factor them into how aggressively your strategy sizes.

Costs​

There are no per-account fees on Atomik — a Pro plan at $129/mo covers up to 10 connected accounts, which is the practical difference between Atomik and per-account-priced tools when you're stacking evaluations. See Subscription & Pricing.
