FundingPips operates four active challenge types as of April 2026: 1 Step, 2 Step, 2 Step Pro, and Zero. Each leads to a funded Master account with tiered profit splits and shares the same 4-level Hot Seat scaling plan that reaches 2M capital. Pick by P and L distribution pattern, not by price.
FundingPips Account Types Overview
FundingPips operates four active challenge types as of April 2026. The 1 Step, 2 Step, 2 Step Pro, and FundingPips Zero. Each leads to a funded Master account with tiered profit splits and shares the same 4-level Hot Seat scaling plan that reaches 2M capital for elite traders. The four challenges serve meaningfully different trader profiles: speed-focused (1 Step), safety-focused (2 Step), skill-tested (2 Step Pro), and evaluation-skipping (Zero).
I have been trading FundingPips since February 2025. 14 months of active trading, 5 successful payouts, 6,800 plus withdrawn cumulative. Multiple challenge types tested across the account lineup to understand the structural trade-offs. This pillar walks through every account, the rule differences, payout structures, and a decision framework for picking the right one for the edge.
The headline: pick by P and L distribution pattern, not by price. Traders with fast, clean edge lean 1 Step. Traders with variable daily P and L lean 2 Step. Traders with tested tight-sizing edge who want daily payouts lean 2 Step Pro. Traders with proven balanced P and L who want to skip evaluation lean Zero.
The 4 FundingPips Challenge Types At A Glance
As of April 2026:
| Challenge | Phases | Profit Target | Max Loss | Daily Loss | Min Days | Consistency | Master Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Step | 1 | 10% | 6% | 3% | 3 | 35% (On Demand only) | 60/80/90/100% tiered |
| 2 Step | 2 | 8-10% / 5% | 10% per phase | 5% | 3 per phase | 35% (On Demand only) | 60/80/90/100% tiered |
| 2 Step Pro | 2 | 6% per phase | 6% per phase | 3% | 1 per phase | 35% (Daily rewards, eval) | 80% Weekly or Daily |
| Zero | 0 (instant Master) | None | 5% trailing | 3% + -1% floating | - | 15% at every payout | 95% bi-weekly |
Quick Decision Framework
- Trader wants fastest eval path plus proven edge: 1 Step
- Trader wants safest evaluation with max drawdown room: 2 Step
- Trader has tight-sizing discipline plus wants daily payouts: 2 Step Pro
- Trader has proven balanced P and L plus wants to skip evaluation: FundingPips Zero
FundingPips 1 Step Challenge
Single-phase evaluation. Pay once, pass once, move to Master. 10 percent profit target in the Student Phase, 6 percent max loss limit, 3 percent daily loss limit, minimum 3 trading days. The fastest eval-based path to funded capital in the FundingPips lineup.
Master phase: 60 percent Weekly / 80 percent Bi-Weekly / 90 percent On Demand with 35 percent consistency rule / 100 percent Monthly tiered profit splits. Consistency rule only triggers on On Demand withdrawals. Risk per trade: 3 percent (under 50K accounts), 2 percent (50K plus).
Strongest fit: traders with proven fast edge who can hit 10 percent cleanly in 3 to 5 days inside a 6 percent drawdown. Traders who use the 100 percent Monthly reward cycle get the highest effective split outside Hot Seat.
Weakest fit: traders still refining their approach. The 6 percent max loss is tight and the single-phase structure leaves no Phase 2 cushion. Take the 2 Step route instead.
FundingPips 2 Step Challenge
Two-phase evaluation. Phase 1 (Student) at 8 or 10 percent target (trader choice at purchase). Phase 2 (Practitioner) at 5 percent target. 10 percent max loss and 5 percent daily loss per phase. 3-minimum-day each phase (6 total). The structurally safest FundingPips evaluation.
Option One at 8 percent Phase 1 versus Option Two at 10 percent Phase 1 is purely a pricing-target trade-off. Pick Option Two for a cheaper entry with a harder Phase 1, Option One for standard pricing with an easier 8 percent Phase 1. All other rules identical.
Master phase: same tiered 60 / 80 / 90 / 100 percent splits as 1 Step. Same consistency rule behaviour on On Demand only. Master-phase drawdown stays at 10 percent max loss and 5 percent DLL, no loosening post-evaluation.
Strongest fit: traders with natural P and L variance who need maximum drawdown room. Traders who have hit daily loss limits at tighter prop firms. Traders calibrating position sizing who benefit from Phase 2 easier 5 percent target as a confirmation step.
Weakest fit: traders with proven fast edge who want the 1 Step speed. The 6-minimum-day requirement is twice the 1 Step three.
FundingPips 2 Step Pro Challenge
Tighter-rule variant of the 2 Step, targeted at skilled traders. Both phases at 6 percent profit target. 6 percent max loss per phase. 3 percent daily loss limit. Minimum 1 trading day per phase, the fastest in the lineup.
Master phase: fixed 80 percent profit split. Weekly cycle (no consistency rule) or Daily cycle (35 percent consistency rule applies to evaluation phases). Dynamic leverage on metals, indices, and energies. Positions auto-tighten from 1:50 to 1:5 based on size.
Strongest fit: skilled traders with proven tight-sizing edge who pass quickly and want daily payout frequency. Traders who benefit from the dynamic leverage protection on volatile instruments.
Weakest fit: traders still refining position sizing. The 6 percent over 3 percent envelope is unforgiving. Traders who want the standard tiered 60 / 80 / 90 / 100 percent Master payout structure not available here.
FundingPips Zero
Instant-funded Master account. No evaluation phase. No profit target. 5 percent trailing drawdown based on highest recorded equity. 3 percent daily loss limit. Minus 1 percent floating PnL limit. 15 percent consistency rule at every payout. 95 percent profit split on bi-weekly rewards.
Unique requirements: minimum 7 profitable days per 30-day window (each profitable day at or above 0.25 percent of initial balance). At least 1 trade every 30 days to maintain account. News-trading prohibited. Weekend holding prohibited. 20-lot max per single trade.
Dynamic leverage on metals, indices, energies. Same auto-adjustment as 2 Step Pro.
Strongest fit: proven traders with balanced daily P and L distribution who want to skip evaluation entirely and capture the 95 percent split. Traders who do not trade news or hold weekends.
Weakest fit: traders whose edge concentrates profits on 1 to 2 big days per week. The 15 percent consistency rule will hold payouts repeatedly. News traders. Weekend holders. Traders who take irregular breaks. The 7-profitable-days-per-30 requirement demands regular activity.
Master Account Structure Shared Across All 4
All 4 challenge types feed into Master accounts that share key structural features as of April 2026.
Profit Split Options Where Offered
- 60 percent Weekly: payout every 7 days, no consistency rule
- 80 percent Bi-Weekly: payout every 14 days, no consistency rule
- 90 percent On Demand: payout anytime with at least 2 percent balance withdrawal, 35 percent consistency rule applies
- 100 percent Monthly: payout every 30 days, no consistency rule
Risk Per Trade On Master
- 3 percent of initial account size for accounts under 50K
- 2 percent of initial account size for accounts 50K and above
Consistency rule calculation: biggest single trading day profit divided by total profit at payout request equals the consistency ratio. Must stay at or below the account consistency threshold (15 percent on Zero, 35 percent on standard Master On Demand).
Merge and multi-account rules: multiple concurrent accounts allowed. Account merging possible within specific rules. Scaling plan calculations always based on original account size, not merged balance, preventing scaling abuse through merges.
Hot Seat Scaling Plan Shared Across All 4
As of April 2026, all FundingPips Master accounts participate in the same 4-level scaling plan:
| Level | Name | Requirements | Capital Boost | Drawdown Adjustment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Launchpad | 4 rewards + 10% profit | +20% | +1% max drawdown |
| 2 | Ascender | 8 rewards + 20% profit | +30% | +1% max DD, +1% daily limit |
| 3 | Trailblazer | 12 rewards + 30% profit | +40% | Max DD raised to 13% |
| 4 | Hot Seat (Elite) | 16 rewards + 40% profit | 2x initial | +1% max DD, +1% daily (cumulative +4 max / +2 daily) |
Hot Seat Benefits
- Initial balance doubled
- 100 percent profit split overrides all other split percentages
- Up to 2 million total trading capital access
- Monthly bonus of 100 to 500 based on account tier
- On-demand payouts
- Customised trading conditions
Critical: all scale-ups calculated from ORIGINAL account size. If an account is merged, scaling calculations still reference the initial unmerged size. This prevents scaling acceleration through merges.
Account Sizes Available
As of April 2026, FundingPips accounts are available in standard tiers: 5K, 10K, 25K, 50K, 100K, 200K, and larger via Hot Seat scaling up to 2M. Pricing varies by challenge type and size. The help center does not publish pricing, so the trader needs to open the purchase flow on the FundingPips dashboard to see current per-size fees.
Size selection matters for the 3 percent over 2 percent risk-per-trade rule on Master. 50K is the boundary where the risk-per-trade rule tightens from 3 percent to 2 percent. Traders who want larger single-position risk per trade should pick accounts under 50K. Traders comfortable with smaller risk per trade can scale up.
KYC And Setup
All 4 FundingPips challenges require KYC verification before first payout. Standard documents: government-issued ID (passport or national ID card), proof of address, selfie verification.
Process typically takes 24 to 48 hours on first submission. Occasional document rejections occur, usually photo clarity issues. Second submission typically clears within 24 hours.
Setup flow: purchase challenge on dashboard, receive login credentials, connect the chosen platform (MT5 / MatchTrader / cTrader), start trading. First trade counts as Day 1 of evaluation timing.
Platform Support
All 4 FundingPips account types support the same 3 native trading platforms as of April 2026: MT5 (MetaTrader 5), MatchTrader, and cTrader. Platform choice happens at account setup and can be switched for free through the dashboard. MT5 has the Swap-Free add-on available for overnight forex and metals. No MT4, no TradeLocker, no DXtrade.
Platform stack is identical regardless of challenge type. The trader does not need to factor platform availability into the 1 Step versus 2 Step versus 2 Step Pro versus Zero decision.
Best FundingPips Account By Trader Profile
- First-time prop trader, unsure of edge consistency: 2 Step (structural safety)
- Proven edge, want to skip evaluation: Zero (instant-funded)
- Proven edge, want single-phase eval speed: 1 Step
- Skilled trader who wants daily payouts: 2 Step Pro
- Swing trader, infrequent sessions: avoid Zero (7 profitable days per month requirement); pick 1 Step or 2 Step
- News trader: 1 Step or 2 Step (Zero prohibits news)
- Weekend holder: 1 Step or 2 Step (Zero prohibits weekend holding)
- Budget-conscious, want cheapest entry: 5K or 10K on 1 Step or 2 Step (check current pricing)
Per-Account Worked Examples
The mechanical differences between FundingPips challenge types become clearer with worked examples on a common account size.
1 Step 50K Worked Example
Profit target 5,000 (10 percent of 50K). Max loss budget 3,000 (6 percent). Daily loss budget 1,500 (3 percent). Minimum 3 trading days. A trader running 0.5 percent risk per trade equals 250 dollar per loss, with a 1:2 risk-reward target equals 500 per winner. Five winners at 500 equals 2,500. The trader needs roughly 10 to 15 trading days at a 60 percent win rate to hit 10 percent target inside the budget.
2 Step 50K Worked Example
Phase 1 target 4,000 to 5,000 (8 to 10 percent of 50K, depending on Option). Phase 2 target 2,500 (5 percent). Max loss 5,000 per phase (10 percent). Daily loss 2,500 (5 percent). The 10 percent max loss is the most generous in the FundingPips lineup, giving traders meaningful room to absorb a drawdown without breaching.
2 Step Pro 50K Worked Example
Phase 1 and Phase 2 both at 6 percent target (3,000 each). Max loss 3,000 per phase. Daily loss 1,500. The structure is harder than 2 Step because the max loss matches the profit target dollar-for-dollar, so a trader who drawdowns 3,000 in a phase has to recover that drawdown to also hit the 3,000 profit target. The Pro version rewards skilled traders who pass quickly without deep drawdowns.
Zero 50K Worked Example
No evaluation, immediate Master. 5 percent trailing drawdown (2,500 at start). 3 percent daily loss (1,500). 15 percent consistency at every payout. The mechanics are the tightest of the four challenge paths, but the trade-off is skipping the evaluation entirely and capturing 95 percent bi-weekly profit split.
Profit Split Cycle Selection Strategy
On the 1 Step and 2 Step Master, the trader picks the profit split cycle that fits their cash flow needs. Each cycle has a different headline split and a different cadence.
60% Weekly
Fastest cadence. No consistency rule. Smaller absolute split per cycle but more cycles per quarter. Suits traders who want frequent cash flow over maximum percentage.
80% Bi-Weekly
Middle-ground. No consistency rule. Higher percentage than weekly with a manageable wait. Most popular choice across the FundingPips community.
90% On Demand
Highest flexibility with 2 percent minimum withdrawal. 35 percent consistency rule applies. Suits traders who want to time their withdrawals around specific cash needs rather than a fixed calendar.
100% Monthly
Highest percentage outside Hot Seat. No consistency rule. 30-day wait. Suits traders who can let profits compound for the full cycle and want maximum split per withdrawal.
Dynamic Leverage On Metals, Indices, And Energies
FundingPips 2 Step Pro and Zero accounts apply dynamic leverage on metals, indices, and energies. Positions auto-tighten from 1:50 down to 1:5 based on size. The effective leverage shrinks as the position grows, which limits the maximum drawdown on a single oversized trade.
For traders running gold, silver, indices like US30 or NAS100, or energies like crude oil, the dynamic leverage caps the absolute risk per trade even if the trader misjudges position sizing. This is a protection feature rather than a restriction. The trader cannot accidentally take a 1:50 position on a 5-lot gold trade that would blow the account on a single move.
Common Failure Modes Across The Four Challenges
- 1 Step: trader sizes off the 10 percent target and ignores the 6 percent max loss, drawdown breaches before target hit
- 2 Step: trader passes Phase 1 cleanly and over-sizes in Phase 2, breaches the tighter 5 percent target
- 2 Step Pro: trader misjudges the 1:1 target-to-drawdown ratio and runs out of recovery room
- Zero: trader prints a single outsized day that fails the 15 percent consistency rule at first payout
Each failure mode has a different prevention strategy, which is why account selection matters so much at FundingPips. The right account for the trader edge prevents most failures structurally.
Account Selection For Specific Trading Styles
Scalper
Scalpers benefit from the 2 Step Pro structure because the tight 6 percent rules favour mechanical execution and the dynamic leverage on metals and indices protects against accidental oversizing. The Daily reward cycle suits scalping rhythm where frequent payouts match the high-trade-count strategy.
Swing Trader
Swing traders favour the 2 Step Master with bi-weekly or monthly payout cycles. The 10 percent max loss gives genuine room to hold positions through normal swing-trade volatility, and the longer payout cadence aligns with the longer holding periods.
News Trader
News traders should use the 1 Step or 2 Step rather than Zero because Zero prohibits news trading. The 1 Step single-phase structure gets the trader to funded fastest, and the funded news permission supports event-driven strategies on releases like NFP, CPI, FOMC.
Algorithmic Trader
Algorithmic traders should check the EA approval policy with FundingPips before deploying. The 4 challenge types support algorithmic execution but the rules around copy trading, multi-account algorithmic flows, and EAs require explicit pre-approval. Most algorithmic traders default to the 1 Step or 2 Step for the standard rule envelope.
Hot Seat Pathway Timeline
A realistic timeline from new account to Hot Seat Elite tier for a disciplined FundingPips trader:
| Stage | Activity | Estimated Time |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation | Pass chosen challenge | 2 to 8 weeks |
| Launchpad (Level 1) | 4 rewards plus 10% profit | 2 to 4 months |
| Ascender (Level 2) | 8 rewards plus 20% profit | 4 to 8 months |
| Trailblazer (Level 3) | 12 rewards plus 30% profit | 8 to 14 months |
| Hot Seat (Level 4) | 16 rewards plus 40% profit | 12 to 24 months |
The full Hot Seat ladder takes 12 to 24 months for a disciplined trader with consistent profitability. Traders who run irregular cadences or break drawdown rules along the way reset the progression and extend the timeline. The reward at the top is 100 percent profit split, up to 2 million in trading capital, and monthly bonus of 100 to 500.
FundingPips Versus FTMO And Direct Peer Comparison
| Firm | Challenges | Profit Split | Scaling Plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| FundingPips | 4 types | Tiered 60-100% | Hot Seat to 2M |
| FTMO | Standard 2-step | Up to 90% | Scaling plan to 400K |
| The 5%ers | Multiple plans | Up to 100% | Tiered |
| FundedNext | Multiple plans | Up to 95% | Tiered |
FundingPips distinguishes itself with the breadth of challenge variety and the depth of the scaling plan. The 2 million capital ceiling at Hot Seat exceeds most peer scaling caps. Traders who plan a long-term scaling trajectory find FundingPips structurally more accommodating than firms with lower scaling ceilings.
Detailed Master Phase Mechanics
Once the trader passes evaluation and moves to Master, the rules continue to apply with some adjustments per challenge type. Understanding the Master mechanics helps the trader pick the right challenge path.
Master Drawdown Continuity
Master accounts inherit the drawdown rules from the evaluation phase. The 2 Step Master keeps the 10 percent max loss and 5 percent daily loss. The 1 Step Master keeps the 6 percent max loss and 3 percent daily. The 2 Step Pro Master keeps the 6 percent and 3 percent envelope. Zero Master uses the 5 percent trailing and 3 percent daily plus the floating PnL clause.
Master Payout Rule Application
The consistency rule on Master varies by challenge type. The 1 Step and 2 Step apply 35 percent only to On Demand withdrawals. The 2 Step Pro applies 35 percent to Daily reward cycles only. Zero applies 15 percent to every payout. The other reward cycles (Weekly, Bi-Weekly, Monthly) do not enforce consistency on the 1 Step and 2 Step Master.
FundingPips Payout Infrastructure
FundingPips processes payouts through Riseworks for standard withdrawals. KYC must clear before the first payout posts. Withdrawal cycles depend on the payout option selected (60 percent Weekly, 80 percent Bi-Weekly, 90 percent On Demand, 100 percent Monthly, 95 percent Bi-Weekly on Zero, 80 percent Weekly or Daily on 2 Step Pro).
Riseworks supports most major countries with standard banking integration. Traders should verify their country is supported before purchasing an evaluation. Some restricted countries cannot use Riseworks, which limits the FundingPips funded experience to traders in supported jurisdictions.
Buying Strategy For New FundingPips Traders
For new FundingPips traders, the recommended buying sequence:
- Pick the challenge type that matches the trading style: 1 Step, 2 Step, 2 Step Pro, or Zero
- Pick the account size that fits the budget and risk appetite: 5K, 10K, 25K, 50K, 100K, or 200K
- Apply the partner code VIBES at checkout for the standard discount
- Confirm the discounted price on the summary
- Complete payment and receive login credentials
- Connect the chosen platform: MT5, MatchTrader, or cTrader
- Complete KYC before starting evaluation
- Place the first trade and start the evaluation clock
Risk Management Across The Four Challenges
Each FundingPips challenge type rewards a slightly different risk management approach. The trader who calibrates the approach to the specific challenge passes faster and survives longer in funded.
1 Step Risk Management
1 Step has the tightest 6 percent max loss in evaluation. Risk per trade should stay at 0.5 to 1 percent of account size, with daily loss budget tracked closely. The 3-minimum-day requirement is easy to meet, so the binding constraint is the max loss budget rather than the timing.
2 Step Risk Management
2 Step has the most forgiving 10 percent max loss per phase. Risk per trade can run 1 to 2 percent of account size with more recovery room. The 6 total minimum days (3 per phase) extend the timeline but the rule envelope is meaningfully more forgiving.
2 Step Pro Risk Management
2 Step Pro pairs tight 6 percent max loss with tight 6 percent profit target. The 1:1 ratio means recovery from drawdown is mathematically harder. Risk per trade should stay at 0.25 to 0.5 percent to preserve recovery room.
Zero Risk Management
Zero has the tightest combined envelope: 5 percent trailing drawdown and 3 percent daily loss with floating PnL inclusion. Risk per trade should stay at 0.25 to 0.5 percent. The 15 percent consistency rule at every payout reinforces the need for flat distribution.
The Bottom Line
FundingPips offers the broadest challenge variety in the forex and CFD prop firm market as of April 2026. Four distinct challenge types covering speed, safety, skill-tested, and instant-funded profiles, all feeding into a shared 4-level Hot Seat scaling plan that reaches 2M capital for elite traders. Pick the 1 Step for fastest evaluation speed, the 2 Step for safest drawdown room, the 2 Step Pro for tighter rules plus daily payouts, or Zero for instant Master access. Master payouts run 60 percent Weekly / 80 percent Bi-Weekly / 90 percent On Demand / 100 percent Monthly on standard challenges, 80 percent on 2 Step Pro, 95 percent on Zero, 100 percent at Hot Seat elite tier.
Frequently Asked Questions

FundingPips operates 4 active challenge types as of April 2026: the 1 Step with single-phase evaluation at 10 percent profit target, the 2 Step with two-phase 8 to 10 plus 5 percent targets, the 2 Step Pro with tighter 6 percent rules and a daily payout option, and FundingPips Zero with instant Master access and no evaluation phase. Each leads to a funded Master account with tiered profit splits.
How many FundingPips challenge types are there?
Four active challenge types as of April 2026: 1 Step, 2 Step, 2 Step Pro, and Zero. FundingPips also runs a periodic Giveaway 1K Instant Account as a promotional product, but that is not a standard purchasable challenge. The four main challenges cover different trader profiles from fast-edge (1 Step) to safest-drawdown (2 Step) to instant-funded (Zero).
Which FundingPips account has the highest profit split?
FundingPips Hot Seat at the 4th-level scaling tier offers 100 percent profit split, the highest available. Outside of Hot Seat, FundingPips Zero offers 95 percent bi-weekly on standard Master payouts. The standard 1 Step and 2 Step Masters offer up to 100 percent on the Monthly reward cycle but 60 to 90 percent on faster cycles. 2 Step Pro caps at 80 percent Weekly or Daily.
Which FundingPips account is easiest to pass?
The 2 Step Challenge is the structurally easiest to pass because it offers 10 percent max loss per phase, the most forgiving in the lineup, and breaks the 10 percent plus cumulative target into two smaller phases (Phase 1 at 8 to 10 percent, Phase 2 at 5 percent). The 1 Step is harder despite being single-phase because the 6 percent max loss is tight. 2 Step Pro has tighter rules. Zero skips evaluation but enforces a 15 percent consistency rule.
Which FundingPips account has the fastest payout?
FundingPips 2 Step Pro on the Daily reward cycle offers the fastest payouts. Eligible every 24 hours once the 35 percent consistency rule is met. Zero pays bi-weekly every 14 days with a 95 percent split. The standard 1 Step and 2 Step Masters pay Weekly at 60 percent, Bi-Weekly at 80 percent, On Demand at 90 percent with 2 percent minimum withdrawal, or Monthly at 100 percent.
What is the cheapest FundingPips account?
The cheapest FundingPips account depends on challenge type and size. The 5K or 10K tiers on 1 Step or 2 Step are typically the lowest-priced. Pricing is not published on the help center. The trader needs to open the purchase flow to see current fees. Use code VIBES at checkout for the standard partner discount applied to any account type and size.
Can I have multiple FundingPips accounts?
Yes. FundingPips allows multiple concurrent active accounts. The trader can also merge accounts within specific rules. Scaling plan calculations are always based on original (initial) account size, not merged totals, so merging does not artificially accelerate the path to Hot Seat. The original account size remains the scaling reference.
What platforms do FundingPips accounts support?
All 4 FundingPips account types support the same 3 native trading platforms as of April 2026: MT5 (MetaTrader 5), MatchTrader, and cTrader. Platform choice happens at account setup and can be switched for free through the dashboard. MT5 has the Swap-Free add-on available for overnight forex and metals. No MT4, no TradeLocker, no DXtrade.
What is the difference between FundingPips Zero and the challenges?
FundingPips Zero is an instant-funded Master account. No Student Phase, no Practitioner Phase, no evaluation profit targets. The trader pays the fee and trades funded capital from day one. The trade-off is a tighter rule set: 15 percent consistency rule (strictest in the lineup), 5 percent trailing drawdown from highest equity, 3 percent daily loss limit, news-trading prohibited, weekend holding prohibited, 20-lot max per single trade.
How does FundingPips scaling work?
FundingPips uses a 4-level Hot Seat scaling plan shared across all account types. Level 1 Launchpad unlocks at 4 successful rewards plus 10 percent cumulative profit for plus 20 percent capital. Level 2 Ascender: 8 rewards plus 20 percent profit for plus 30 percent. Level 3 Trailblazer: 12 rewards plus 30 percent profit for plus 40 percent. Level 4 Hot Seat Elite: 16 rewards plus 40 percent profit for 2x initial balance, 100 percent profit split, up to 2M capital, and 100 to 500 monthly bonus.
Does FundingPips Zero require regular trading activity?
Yes. FundingPips Zero requires minimum 7 profitable days per 30-day window, with each profitable day at or above 0.25 percent of initial balance. Plus at least 1 trade every 30 days to maintain the account. Traders who take irregular breaks risk failing the activity rule and having the account closed. Regular trading rhythm is required.
What is the risk per trade rule on FundingPips Master?
3 percent of initial account size for accounts under 50K. 2 percent of initial account size for accounts at or above 50K. The rule scales single-position size against the initial balance rather than current balance. Traders who want larger per-trade risk should pick accounts under 50K. Traders comfortable with smaller risk per trade can scale up to 100K and 200K.
Does FundingPips offer swap-free accounts?
MT5 has a Swap-Free add-on available for overnight forex and metals across the FundingPips account types. MatchTrader and cTrader follow standard swap mechanics. Swap-free is useful for swing traders holding positions through Wednesday triple-swap or for traders with religious considerations around overnight interest.
Can I trade news on FundingPips?
News trading is permitted on 1 Step, 2 Step, and 2 Step Pro accounts. FundingPips Zero prohibits news trading outright. The Zero rule set is the strictest in the lineup and includes both the news prohibition and the weekend-holding prohibition. Traders with news-driven strategies should default to one of the three evaluation challenges rather than Zero.
How long does FundingPips KYC take?
KYC typically completes within 24 to 48 hours on first submission. Standard documents include government-issued ID (passport or national ID card), proof of address, and selfie verification. Occasional document rejections happen, usually for photo clarity, and second submission typically clears within 24 hours. KYC must clear before the first payout posts.
Does FundingPips have a discount code?
