Rules & Regulations

Risk Management

Funded accounts cannot keep positions open over the weekend.

Any open trades are automatically closed before the market closes on Friday.

Traders must always stay within the account's drawdown and risk limits.

Leverage

Dynamic leverage applies to Metals, Indices, and Energies on Master Accounts.

0.00–0.05 lots = 1:50

0.05–0.10 lots = 1:30

0.10–0.15 lots = 1:25

0.15–0.25 lots = 1:20

0.25–0.50 lots = 1:10

Above 0.50 lots = 1:5

Copy Trading

Copying trades is allowed only between accounts owned by the same trader.

FundingPips accounts may copy trades to external personal accounts but cannot act as followers of external masters.

Cross-prop copy trading is permitted through approved partner services while complying with FundingPips rules.

Expert Advisors (EAs)

Fully automated trading is allowed only with EAs personally created by the trader.

Proof of ownership may be required.

Third-party EAs can only be used for trade management or risk management purposes.

Using commercial EAs for automated trading is prohibited.

Inactivity Policy

At least one trade must be opened and closed every 30 consecutive days.

Failure to trade within this period may result in account inactivity.

Maximum Lot Size

Cryptocurrency trades are limited to 1 lot per execution.

Other instruments have a maximum of 20 lots per execution.

Risk Per Trade

Funded accounts have limits on the maximum loss allowed for a single trading idea.

Smaller accounts generally allow up to 3% risk.

Larger funded accounts are limited to 2% risk.

Some account types, such as 2-Step Pro, do not have this restriction.

Dividing one trade into multiple positions does not bypass this rule.

Profit Concentration Rule

Excessive reliance on a single winning trade is discouraged.

If one trade generates more than 60% of the required profit target, additional profitable trading days may be required before completion.

Prohibited Trading Strategies

The following practices are not allowed:

High-frequency trading (HFT)

Latency or execution arbitrage

Gap trading

Tick scalping

Opposite account trading

Hedging or reverse arbitrage

Server abuse or excessive order placement

Any strategy considered abusive by the firm

Violations may lead to reduced leverage, tighter risk limits, reduced profit share, or permanent account termination.

IP, VPN, and VPS Policy

VPN and VPS usage is prohibited.

Trading activity should originate from a consistent geographic region.

Significant location inconsistencies may trigger account reviews.

FundingPips Zero Rules

Minimum Profitable Days = Traders must achieve 7 profitable trading days within every 30-day cycle.

Biggest Loss Rule = The largest losing trade must not exceed the size of the largest winning trade.

Maximum Floating Loss = Floating losses cannot exceed 1% of the account balance. Breaching this limit results in immediate account failure.

News Trading = Trading within 10 minutes before or after high-impact news events is prohibited.

Weekend Holding = Weekend positions, including cryptocurrency trades, are not permitted.

1-Step & 2-Step Challenge Rules

Minimum Trading Days

1-Step: Minimum 3 trading days during evaluation.

2-Step Standard: Minimum 3 trading days during evaluation.

2-Step Pro: Minimum 1 trading day.

2-Step Flex: No minimum trading days for the standard payout option.

Rules

Evaluation Phase = News trading is allowed.

Funded Phase = Opening or closing trades within 5 minutes before or after major news events is restricted. Profits earned from prohibited news trading may be removed. Intentionally exploiting news events may result in account termination.

Weekend Holding

Holding positions over the weekend is not allowed on funded accounts.

2-Step Standard (8% / 5%) Additional Risk Guideline

For funded accounts larger than $25,000:

Floating losses above 1.2% on a single trade idea generate warnings.

Repeated violations progressively reduce the trader's profit split.

Continued violations can ultimately result in account termination.

Profits earned from trades that trigger warnings may be deducted.

Reviews

TradFlakes Verdict4.5 / 5

FundingPips is a well-known proprietary trading firm that offers flexible funding programs, multiple trading platforms, and access to a broad range of CFD markets. Its no-time-limit evaluation model and competitive profit-sharing structure make it attractive for disciplined traders. However, like most prop firms, success depends on consistently following strict risk management rules, particularly drawdown limits. Traders should carefully review all trading conditions before purchasing a challenge.
