\n 1 Step Flex has one Evaluation phase and the fewest rules on how\n to\n trade.\n
\nTests trading skills and builds a trading profile.
\n\n A second chance built for momentum. If an account is breached\n due to trading behavior, risk violations, or inactivity\n breach, it can restart quickly without changing the setup\n with a discounted reset shown below.\n

\n\n Max Loss Limit: 12% of the starting\n account size.\n
\n\n The Max Loss Limit is based on the starting account size.\n Both open\n and closed losses are counted, and equity or balance\n cannot\n touch this level at any point, including floating losses\n from open\n trades. A breach closes the account.\n
\n\n Starting account size: $100K\n
\nBased on $100K (the account size)
\n\n 12% of $100K = $12K. Equity or balance cannot\n drop to\n $88K at any\n point.\n
\n\n Daily Loss Limit 2% or 3% (based on\n the\n configuration you purchased) of the higher value\n between\n the opening balance or opening equity for that day.\n
\n\n At the start of each trading day, the system records\n both\n balance and equity. Whichever is higher becomes\n the baseline.\n Equity cannot fall by more than\n Daily Loss Limit of that baseline\n at any\n point during the day, including floating losses from\n open trades.\n
\n\n Opening balance: $105K / Opening\n equity: $107K\n
\nBaseline = $107K (equity is higher)
\n\n 3% of $107K = $3,210. Equity cannot drop to\n $103,790 that\n day.\n
\n\n Opening balance: $100K / Opening\n equity: $99K\n
\nBaseline = $100K (balance is higher)
\n\n 3% of $100K = $3K. Equity cannot drop to\n $97K that day.\n
\n\n The account is breached if no trades are completed in\n 30 consecutive calendar days. At least\n one\n complete trade, opened and fully closed, must occur within\n any\n 30-day window to keep the account active.\n
\n\n A trade only counts as activity once it is fully\n closed. Leaving a\n trade open does not reset or pause the inactivity\n timer. There is\n no time limit to hit the Profit Target, so this is\n the one rule\n that can close the account without a loss.\n
\n\n We use the\n Economic Calendar on the FundingPips dashboard\n as our official news source, which features the News\n and\n Speeches.
\n Trading during high-impact news and speeches is subject to specific\n restrictions depending on account phase.\n
\n There are\n no news trading restrictions during the Evaluation phase.\n Trades can be held and managed during the news events.\n
\n\n Trades can be held during news events on the Master\n Account, however specific rules apply to\n trades opened\n or closed near high-impact news or speeches events.\n
\n\n \n Restricted\nNews;\n the window runs from\n 5 minutes before or 5 minutes\n after\n high-impact news.
\n
\n \n Restricted\nSpeeches;\n the window\n runs from\n 5 minutes before the high-impact speech begins until 5\n minutes after\n it concludes.\n
\n Trades opened 5 hours or more before\n a high-impact event or speech are excluded from the\n restriction and can be closed within the restricted\n window. Profits from these trades will count.\n
\n\n Trading Rule Clarification\n
\n\n Overnight and weekend holding are allowed during\n evaluation phases for all instruments on\n 1 Step Flex.\n
\n\n On the Master Account, holding trades overnight\n and\n over the weekend is not allowed on 1 Step\n Flex Master\n Accounts. All open trades will be automatically closed by\n the\n system unless you have the Swing add-on.\n
\n\n Trades automatically closed by the system for overnight or\n weekend\n holding will not result in an account breach. However, weekday\n overnight trades will count as a valid trading day, while\n weekend\n holding will not count as a valid trading day.\n
\n\n Open positions on 1 Step Flex Master Accounts are\n closed by the system each day within a 15-minute\n window.\n Closing starts at the beginning of the window; any\n position still open at the end of the window will\n be closed.\n
\n| Period | \nStarts | \nAuto-close window | \n
|---|---|---|
| Summer time | \nFirst Sunday of March | \n20:45 to 21:00 UTC | \n
| Winter time | \nFirst Sunday of November | \n21:45 to 22:00 UTC | \n
\n Overnight and weekend holding on Master Accounts\n can be enabled at the time of purchase through an\n Add-on.\n
\n\n Impact of Weekday Overnight & Weekend Trades\n
\n\n Weekday overnight trades:
\n Profits from weekday overnight trades will be added to the\n account\n balance and will count toward Minimum Trading Days, Minimum\n Profitable Days, and the Consistency Score. The trade will\n also be\n counted as a valid trading day.\n
\n Weekend trades:
\n Profits from weekend trades will still be added to the account\n balance, while the biggest winning day and biggest losing\n day will\n be included in the consistency score calculation but does\n not count\n as a valid trading day.\n
\n Available at purchase for traders observing Islamic finance principles.\n Removes overnight swap charges on eligible instruments.\n
\n\n During purchase, traders can select the Swap-Free add-on\n to hold positions overnight without incurring swap (interest)\n fees.\n
\n\n Request a Reward every two weeks. The\n profit\n has to\n meet the 1% minimum of the account size\n first. On a\n $100K account that is $1K.\n
\n\n Request a Reward with a 100% split every\n 30 calendar days after the first executed\n trade on the Master Account. The consistency score and\n profitable\n days reset after each\n successfully processed reward.\n
\n\n Eligibility Requirements\n
\n\n The Striking System applies\n when\n the closed and floating loss on\n one trade idea\n reaches 1% of the Master Account size.\n
\n\n All losses from a single trade idea\n are counted together. A trade idea\n can\n be any of the following:\n
\n\n Warnings are cumulative and do not reset\n between Reward\n cycles.\n
\n| Warning | \nWhat happens | \n
|---|---|
| \n 1st\n | \nA warning is recorded. | \n
| \n 2nd\n | \n\n The reward split drops by\n half (for example,\n from 80% to 40%).\n | \n
| \n 3rd\n | \nThe reward split drops to 20%. | \n
| \n 4th\n | \n\n Account breach. The account is closed immediately.\n | \n
\n Standard accounts use the base commission structure.\n Accounts with the Swap-Free Add-on pay higher\n commission in exchange for no overnight swap fees.\n

\n Once Phase 1 is passed and the account moves to the Master Account,\n Crypto\n leverage changes from 1:2 to 1:1, including on swap-free\n accounts. This is a temporary change and is separate from the\n Dynamic Leverage below. During Phase 1, Crypto leverage stays\n at 1:2.\n
\n\n We actively monitor market conditions and geopolitical\n developments to ensure a safe and stable trading environment.\n When volatility, liquidity, or overall risk levels change,\n we may adjust Commission & Leverage as needed. This can include\n temporary changes to leverage and margin requirements. All\n updates will be communicated to clients promptly by email.\n
\n\n Dynamic leverage is designed to give more trading\n flexibility while maintaining responsible risk controls.\n Instead of applying a single fixed leverage ratio to the\n entire position, it uses a tiered structure where smaller\n trade lot sizes benefit from higher leverage, and the ratio\n gradually decreases as position size grows. The temporary\n Dynamic Leverage is applied to Metals, Indices, and Energies\n on Master Accounts.\n
\n \n| Lot Size | \nLeverage | \n
|---|---|
| 0.00 - 0.05 lots | \n1:50 | \n
| 0.05 - 0.10 lots | \n1:30 | \n
| 0.10 - 0.15 lots | \n1:25 | \n
| 0.15 - 0.25 lots | \n1:20 | \n
| 0.25 - 0.50 lots | \n1:10 | \n
| 0.50 and above lots | \n1:5 | \n
\n The first 0.05 lots of any position uses 1:50 leverage,\n meaning only a small fraction of the trade's\n full value is needed as margin. As the position grows\n beyond\n that,\n each additional portion requires progressively more margin\n (stepping through 1:30, 1:25, 1:20, and 1:10) until any\n volume above 0.50 lots uses the base rate of 1:5.\n
\n\n The margin requirement is calculated cumulatively, each\n tier only applies to the portion of volume within its\n range, not the entire position. So, the lower tiers\n always benefit the trade, no matter how large it\n becomes.\n

\n No. Inactivity counts completed trades, so a position\n sitting\n open\n does not reset the 30 days. The trade has to be opened\n and\n fully\n closed. There is no time limit to hit the Profit Target,\n so this is the\n one rule that can close the account without a loss.\n
\n\n Whichever one equity hits first. Both close the account.\n The 3% Daily Loss Limit uses the balance or equity at\n the\n start of the\n day, whichever is higher, and resets at 00:00 Platform\n Time.\n The 12% Max Loss Limit sits 12% below\n the starting balance and does not reset.\n
\n\n Yes. There are no news trading restrictions during the\n Evaluation\n phase, so trades can be held and managed through news\n events.\n The restricted-window rules only start once the account\n moves\n to a\n Master Account. See\n News & Weekend Holding.\n
\n\n Under the current temporary update, the system automatically\n closes it before the weekend. This is not a hard\n breach, and any profit is added to the balance, but that\n day does not count as a valid trading day toward the\n profitable-day requirement. See\n News & Weekend Holding.\n
\n\n At least 1% of the Master Account Size. On a $100K account\n that's $1K in profit. Requests can be made every two\n weeks\n after\n the first executed trade on the Master Account, and\n transfers are subject to exchange rates and transaction\n fees. See\n Rewards.\n
\n\n Bi-Weekly pays an 80% split every 14 calendar days once\n the 1% minimum is cleared. Monthly pays a 100% split\n every\n 30\n calendar days, but only applies to Evaluation Accounts\n purchased on or after 15 August 2026, and requires a\n 35%\n consistency score plus 7 profitable days at 0.5%+ each;\n both of those reset after a successfully processed reward.\n See\n Rewards.\n
\n\n No. The Swap-Free add-on is only available on MetaTrader\n 5.\n It applies to Forex and Metals only — Energies, Indices,\n and Crypto still incur standard swap charges even with\n the\n add-on active. See\n Commission & Leverages.\n
\n\n Crypto leverage drops from 1:2 during the Evaluation\n phase\n to 1:1 on the Master Account, including on Swap-Free\n accounts. This is a separate, temporary change from the\n Dynamic Leverage tiers applied to Metals, Indices, and\n Energies. See\n Commission & Leverages.\n
