• Minimum Trading Days:
  • Standard models require at least 3 trading days per phase.
  • Pro Two-Step challenge may accept just 1 trading day per phase.
• Time Limits: Most evaluations come with no fixed time limit, giving traders flexibility.

  • Introduces a 1% floating loss cap and sometimes a 15% consistency rule, particularly in Zero/Pro modes
• Trading Restrictions:
  • Weekend and news trading are prohibited in funded accounts
  • Disallowed strategies include high-frequency trading (HFT) and latency arbitrage

Profit Split & Reward Cycles

• Profit splits range from 80% to 100%, depending on reward cycle and performance levels.

  • Weekly payouts (60% profit split)
  • Bi-weekly payouts (80% profit split)
  • Monthly or on-demand payouts, with profit splits up to 100% for top-tier traders.
• Hot Seat Program unlocks on-demand payouts at 100% profit split.

Payout Frequency 

• Payouts are available every Tuesday, delivering 4-5 payouts per month.
• Depending on when a funded (Master) account starts, traders may receive payouts:
  • Next day
  • Same day
  • Within four trading days after account activation.

Payout Processing & Minimums

• The minimum withdrawal amount is 1% of the initial account balance (including profit share).
• Payouts typically process within 1-3 business days, with instant or near-instant payouts available via debit/credit card – often ready within 30 minutes to 48 hours, depending on banking processes.
• No payout denials policy ensures approved payouts go through reliably. 

Scaling Plan

Funding Pips offers a step-based scaling path:

• Launchpad: 4 payouts + 10% profit → +20% account growth, higher limits
• Ascender: 8 payouts + 20% profit → +30% growth, more flexibility
• Trailblazer: 12 payouts + 30% profit → +40% growth, expanded limits
• Hot Seat: 16 payouts + 40% profit → account doubles, 100% split, on-demand payouts, up to $2 million.

Additional Notes

• No maximum withdrawal limit, traders can withdraw all approved profits, subject to payout cycle rules.
• Payouts are processed transparently, but traders should account for potential:
  • $10 processing fees
  • Exchange rate fluctuations
  • Service charges, depending on the method
