Exciting news from ATFunded! We’re thrilled to announce a bold new step in our mission to bring transparency and innovation to the prop trading world. Our latest initiative is all about copying trades from some of our talented traders and sending them straight to the market. This move benefits both our traders and our company, and we can’t wait to share the details with you. Let’s dive in.

What Does It Mean to Copy Trades?
In the trading universe, brokers typically handle orders in one of two ways: A-book or B-book. Here’s a quick breakdown:

A-book: Your trades go directly to the market. You’re tapping into real market liquidity, which can mean great prices but also some variability in how your orders fill—especially when the market’s quiet.

B-book: The broker will warehouse your trade and not send it to market. This can lead to speedy fills and lower costs, with the broker taking on the risk of the trades.

At ATFunded, we’re always looking for the sweet spot that works for our traders. That’s why we’re launching an initiative to copy the trades of select prop traders and send them to the market (A-book style). For us, the more traders who hold long term discipline, the better as we can send those orders out to be filled!

Who’s In and What Can They Expect?
We’re hand-picking traders for this program based on their discipline and smart risk management. If you’re one of the lucky ones, you’ll get an email from us with all the details. Here’s what you should expect:

Realistic Fills: Your trades will reflect actual market liquidity. On bigger orders, you might see some slippage, but we’re hustling behind the scenes to secure the best liquidity for your trading style.
Timing Is Everything: When you trade matters! For example, EUR/USD fills might shine during the European session but dim a bit during the Asian session. Knowing your product’s rhythm will be your superpower.
Spreads During Big Moments: Unlike our standard accounts, there won’t be a cap on spreads during news events or rollovers. You might see wider spreads in these low-liquidity moments, but we’re confident our chosen traders can handle it like pros.
Scaling Smart: Every strategy has its limits. Too much volume can water down its magic (aka “alpha”). We’ll team up with you to figure out where your strategy peaks and set sensible scaling boundaries.
Why ATFunded+ Is Our Secret Sauce
Here at ATFunded, we’re all about building lasting partnerships with skilled traders. That’s why we’ve skipped the cookie-cutter scaling programs you see elsewhere and created ATFunded+ instead. This flexible approach lets us protect your strategy’s profitability while keeping things sustainable.

With ATFunded+, we can control how many new funds and traders jump on board, ensuring your edge doesn’t get diluted. Plus, it buys us time to work with liquidity providers to snag better fills and boost your strategy’s potential. Our motto? Win together, keep winning together, and grow strong relationships with our trading stars.

Let’s Shape the Future Together
This trade-copying initiative is just the start—we’ve got plenty more exciting ideas brewing! If you’re already a prop trader with ATFunded, check your inbox—you might be one of the first to join this adventure. Not with us yet? Now’s the perfect time to hop into our community. Together, we’re redefining what prop trading can be.

Stay tuned, and let’s make some winning moves!

At OANDA Prop Trader, we’re always listening to our traders and continuously working to enhance your experience. We’re excited to announce several important updates designed to give you more flexibility, transparency, and opportunities!

1. Transition to Core Pricing + Commission Model for FX & Metals
   Based on trader feedback, we’re moving from our spread-only pricing to a Core Pricing + Commission model on FX pairs and Metals (Gold & Silver).

This change brings:

• Significantly lower spreads, especially on Gold
• Greater transparency, with clear separation between spread cost and commission

2. Lower Minimum Lot Size for FX & Metals
   We’ve reduced the minimum lot size from 0.1 to 0.01 lots on both FX and Metals (Gold & Silver).
   This change applies to both new and existing Challenge/SP accounts, giving you greater control over your trade sizing and risk management.

3. Extended Inactivity Period
   The inactivity period has been extended to 30 days (previously 20 days) for newly purchased challenges.
   More time to complete your challenge, with less pressure!

4. New Instruments Available
   We’ve added new symbols to Market Watch:
   USDPLN, EURPLN, USDCZK, EURCZK, EURHUF, USDHUF
   These are now available for both new and existing Challenge/SP accounts.

We believe these updates will make trading with OANDA Prop Trader more efficient and profitable for you!
