We interviewed our CEO, Nick Cooke, to delve into the vision and mission behind Atmos, our revolutionary approach to proprietary trading. In this conversation, Nick shares what inspired Taurex to create Atmos, the challenges traders face in the prop trading industry, and how Atmos is addressing these challenges with transparency, security, and a traders-first platform. From providing access to leading trading tools to building trust through clear policies, Nick highlights what sets Atmos apart and why it’s becoming the go-to choice for traders seeking a reliable and empowering partner.
What motivated you to venture into the prop trading space? Or What motivated you to create Atmos?
We saw an opportunity to do things better. Prop trading is a fantastic way for traders to access capital and showcase their skills, but too often, they’re let down by firms that lack transparency or the proper foundations. With Atmos, we wanted to change that—to create a platform built on trust, clear rules, and the backing of a regulated broker like Taurex. It’s about giving traders the confidence and support they need to succeed.
How is Atmos different from other prop trading firms?
Atmos is built to solve the challenges traders face every day—unclear policies, unreliable practices, and a lack of security. What makes us different is our foundation. Atmos operates with transparency at its core, with clear guidelines and no hidden agendas. We’ve created a platform where traders can focus fully on trading, knowing they have a reliable partner by their side.
What trading platforms does Atmos provide?
Atmos provides traders with access to MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, the industry’s leading platforms. These platforms come with powerful charting tools, automated trading capabilities, and full customization options, empowering traders to manage their trades effectively and track their progress in real time. Our aim is to provide traders with every tool they need to succeed.
Why should traders choose Atmos for prop trading?
We understand the appeal of prop trading. It’s exciting to give traders the chance to showcase their skills and trade with substantial capital. But for it to work, it has to be done the right way. Atmos brings together the flexibility of prop trading with the stability of a trusted partner. We’re here to give traders a fair shot, backed by a system designed to support their growth and success. It’s about giving traders the best possible experience without cutting corners.
What can traders expect when they join Atmos?
They can expect a platform that works for them. Everything we’ve built—our tools, policies, and approach—is geared toward one goal: helping traders focus on their strategies without unnecessary distractions. We want every trader at Atmos to feel empowered to grow and reach their potential.
Finally, what would you like to say to traders thinking about joining Atmos?
Atmos is for traders who want more than just a shot at capital—it’s for those who want a partner they can trust. We’re here to back your skills with the support and transparency you deserve. If you’ve been waiting for a platform that actually gets what traders need, this is it. Let’s make it happen.
