ATFunded alternatives, compared.

The gold standard. Operating since 2015 with $500M+ paid out, famously lenient on news, weekend holding and EAs. The 1-Step's trailing max-loss and Best-Day rule are the only real traps.

Split up to 90% · 10% max drawdown · 1-step · 2-step

Static (non-trailing) evaluation drawdowns, up to 100% split and $2M scaling make it one of the more winnable challenges — as long as you avoid the strategies it deems 'toxic.'

Split up to 100% · 10% max drawdown · 1-step · 2-step · Instant

A forgiving structure — daily 'pause' not death on Hyper Growth, drawdown that grows with profit, unlimited time, overnight + weekend holding — wrapped around a strict prohibited-practices list enforced after the fact.

Split up to 100% · 10% max drawdown · 1-step · 2-step · 3-step

Fast payouts and a rare challenge-phase profit share, but balance-based drawdown that counts floating losses and a strict 'trade the same way when funded' rule that catches people at withdrawal.

Split up to 95% · 10% max drawdown · 1-step · 2-step · Instant

Genuinely customizable and scalping-tolerant, but the trailing 'Dynamic' drawdown on E8 One, the 40%/35% best-day rule and the funded-stage news window ambush traders who only learned the laxer challenge rules.

Split up to 100% · 8% max drawdown · 1-step · 2-step · 3-step

Flexible evaluation rules — free news trading, very low minimum days, mostly static drawdowns — but the trailing Alpha One and a 40% best-day payout rule are the real catches.
