Atmos Funded: News trading (±2-minute soft breach)
Opening or closing within ±2 minutes of a high-impact event is a 'soft breach' — the profit from those trades is deducted (holding through news is otherwise tolerated). Funded accounts are treated more strictly.
The gotcha
It's a soft breach that strips the profit rather than a hard kill — your funded gains inside the ±2-minute window just disappear.
What happens if you break it
This is a soft breach: the firm typically warns or flags the account rather than voiding it, but repeated or flagrant breaches escalate to termination.
