Do I need to leave my computer on or rent a VPS?
No. Your strategies and webhooks run 24/7 on Atomik's cloud infrastructure. Close the laptop, go to work, sleep — signals keep executing. There is nothing to host, patch, or keep awake.
Does Atomik hold my money?
Never. Atomik is non-custodial: you connect your own broker account via secure OAuth/API, orders execute there, and your funds stay at your broker the entire time. You can revoke Atomik's access from your broker at any moment.
Which brokers and prop firms work with Atomik?
Tradovate, Interactive Brokers, and TopstepX funded accounts connect natively. Apex and other Tradovate-based funded accounts work through your Tradovate credentials. There's also a built-in paper trading account, so you can run everything with zero risk first.
What if my strategy is in my head, not in code?
Use the AI Strategy Builder: describe your rules with visual cards — entries, stops, targets, session filters — and AI writes the code. Backtest it bar-by-bar against real historical futures data (equity curve, win rate, profit factor, max drawdown), then activate it for paper or live trading in one click.
Can I test everything without risking money?
Yes, twice over. Paper trading runs your strategies through the exact same execution pipeline as live with a simulated account, and backtests validate ideas against real historical data before that. Add the 7-day money-back guarantee and there's no scenario where you pay for something you couldn't try.
Why is there no free trial?
Because crippled trials waste serious traders' time. Every plan gets full access from day one, backed by a 7-day money-back guarantee — if it's not for you, you get your money back. Pricing is a flat subscription from $89/mo with zero per-trade fees, so heavy traders never get punished for volume.
Can I run one strategy across multiple funded accounts?
Yes — that's trade mirroring. One leader account broadcasts to any number of followers with per-account size ratios (0.1x–10x) and max-position caps, and followers are automatically flattened when the leader goes flat. Prop traders run the same strategy across several funded accounts this way.
Do I need TradingView?
No, it's just the most popular path. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can fire your Atomik webhook — custom scripts, bots, other platforms. And strategies built with the AI Builder run directly on Atomik's cloud with no external signal source at all.
How fast are orders executed?
Atomik processes an incoming signal in 3–5 milliseconds and routes it straight to your broker's API, with duplicate-signal protection so a misfiring alert can't double your position. It's built for strategy execution on minute-to-daily timeframes — if you need co-located sub-millisecond HFT, we're not your tool, and we'd rather tell you that now.
