Stage 1 · Master Account
Prove Your Edge: Earn 3 Rewards

Before your 3rd reward, your account operates as a normal Master Account. Trade your strategy, manage your risk, and request rewards on your selected cycle.

The profits made after your 3rd reward will be used towards unlocking your prime account.

Stage 1 · The Unlock
Unlock Your Prime Account

When you're ready, click the UNLOCK button on your dashboard and confirm by typing UNLOCK in the confirmation dialog. Your next reward funds the Prime Account at a model-specific multiplier; the Master closes and a new Prime Account is created.

UNLOCK becomes available after:
  • Minimum profit Minimum profit on your Master reaches at least 2% of the Master's account size, maximum is 10%. Once it's reached, trading is disabled.
  • Reward Cycle You are at your selected reward cycle date and all trading objectives related to your account model need to be met.

At the moment of Unlock, your reward cycle split is applied to your total profit. Your split is then multiplied by your model's multiplier to set your Prime Account size.

Total profit × your split % × model multiplier = Prime size

After Unlock
Your Master closes and a new Prime Account is created in USD. A Master in EUR, GBP, CHF, or INR is converted to USD at Unlock. Traders in MT5-restricted countries (United States and Canada) cannot reach Prime. Prime Account creation takes up to 7 business days from the moment you click UNLOCK.

Stage 2 · Prime Account
Scale Through Each Level: Hit 10%, Grow 30%

Once you're on the Prime Account, the Scaling Plan begins. Each level has a cumulative 10% profit target. When you reach it, request a scale-up; your account size grows by 30% of the current level's account size, and Smart Max Loss resets from the new base. Repeat across every level on the way to $2M.

How does the 10% profit target work?

The profit target is 10% of the current level's account size, measured against your cumulative profit on the Prime. There's no time limit. Daily rewards can be requested at any time.

On a $100,000 Level 1 Prime, your target is $10,000. After scaling to $130,000, your next target is $13,000.

Cumulative carries forward; the end-of-day 30% split doesn't reduce it
Your cumulative-profit counter is the total of all closed profits on the Prime and does not reset after a scale-up. For example:
  • Make 3% profit, request your 70% reward, request it. Your cumulative profit counter still reads 3%.
  • Make another 3% profit, request again. The cumulative counter now reads 6%.
  • Make another 4% profit, request again. Cumulative counter hits 10% and your account scales by 30% and you reach the next PRIME level.
  • Your cumulative counter keeps building toward the next scale-up. Nothing resets.
How does the Scale-Up work?

Once your cumulative profit covers the level's 10% target, you become eligible to scale up. The scale-up is upon request: submit it through your dashboard when you're ready. Your account size grows by 30% of your current Prime size, and the new profit target and Smart Max Loss are recalculated immediately from the new base. The Prime account number does not change at scale-up. Scale-up processing takes up to 3 business days from your request.

You can keep trading past the scale-up target without requesting. Profits continue to accumulate. If your cumulative covers multiple scale-up targets, you can submit multiple scale-up requests in sequence, one per level.

Example. $100,000 Level 1 Prime, cumulative reaches $10,000. You request the scale-up. Account becomes $130,000. New target: $13,000. Smart Max Loss resets from the $130,000 base. The cumulative counter carries the $10,000 forward; to scale from L2 to L3 your cumulative needs to reach $23,000 ($10,000 + $13,000).

Remaining profits before scale-up affects Smart Max Loss after the scale-up.
Remaining profits on the account before requesting the scale-up affects the smart max loss after the scale-up, your balance after the scale-up will be higher than the accounts size, so the drawdown will be trailed accordingly. If you want to prevent this, request your profits before the scale-up.
How does the 70% reward split work on Prime?

You keep 70% of all profits on Prime. FundingPips keeps 30%. Rewards are available daily, with no limit on how many you can request per day; each requested amount is removed directly, so trading continues without waiting for processing. The minimum reward is 1% of the account balance (including FundingPips' split). Transfers are subject to exchange rates and transaction fees.

End-of-day split FundingPips' 30% split is removed at the end of each trading day. If you request a reward earlier in the day that captures the day's full profit, the 30% has already come out via the reward split and there's no additional EOD split. If profit is left on the account through EOD, the 30% is deducted then. Any profit earned after a reward request, before EOD on the same day, has its 30% deducted at EOD.

Example. Early in the day, you close $5,000 profit and request it as a reward: $3,500 is available to you, $1,500 is FundingPips' split, and the $5,000 leaves the Prime balance. Later the same day, you close an additional $3,000 profit and don't request it. At EOD, $900 (30% of $3,000) is deducted; $2,100 stays on-account as your split. If you end the day with profits, but your cumulative profits did not increase, the 30% will not be deducted.

How does the 2% Soft Daily Loss work?

A 2% Soft Daily Loss applies on Prime Accounts. This is 2% of the higher of daily opening balance or equity. If realised or unrealised losses hit this level, trading is paused for the rest of the day. The account resumes the next trading day.

This is a soft breach. The account is not closed. The daily limit resets at 00:00 Platform Time (UTC+3).

How does the Smart Max Loss work?

On Prime, the Max Loss is a trailing drawdown floor, not a fixed level. It starts below your opening balance and trails upward as your highest recorded balance grows, in real time. It never moves down.

The floor stops trailing once your balance reaches the model's lock threshold. At that point the floor locks at the model's lock floor and stays fixed until your next scale-up.

Smart Max Loss per model on a $100,000 Prime
Model Drawdown Start floor Lock floor Locks when balance reaches
2 Step 10% $90,000 $93,000 $103,000
2 Step Pro 6% $94,000 $96,000 $102,000
1 Step 6% $94,000 $96,000 $102,000
Zero 5% $95,000 $97,000 $102,000

The percentages are size-independent and apply to any Prime size. Distance from starting balance to lock floor: 7% on 2 Step, 4% on 2 Step Pro and 1 Step, 3% on Zero. Lock trigger (balance growth at which the floor locks): +3% on 2 Step and +2% on the other three models.

Trailing mechanic. When your balance reaches a new highest recorded balance, the floor moves up to (highest recorded balance − drawdown amount). When balance stays at or below the prior high, the floor stays where it is. When balance reaches the lock threshold, the floor locks at the lock floor and stops trailing permanently.

The floor is monitored in real time. Only closed trades move your highest recorded balance and the trailing floor. Floating losses on open positions don't push the floor up. The breach, however, is equity-based: if equity touches or drops below the floor, even briefly, the account is breached. Both floating PnL on open positions and realised closed-trade losses count.

Your trading capacity sits in two separate pools. Max Allocation is the max on your evaluation and Master accounts. Prime Capital is the max on your Prime Accounts. The two pools operate independently.

The two pools
Max Allocation
  • Covers active evaluation, Master, and Prime accounts. Active Primes consume Max Allocation at their account size (the scaled amount doesn't count); Unlocked Masters are closed and no longer consume.
  • Starts at $300,000.
  • Each time a Master Unlocks to Prime, Max Allocation increases by 50% of the new Prime's account size (the Prime size after your reward split and model multiplier are applied).
  • When a Prime is breached, Max Allocation is permanently reduced by 75% of the Prime's account size. The scaled amount isn't counted in the breach penalty; only the Prime size at Unlock matters.
  • Maxed at $600,000.
+50% of new Prime's account size per Unlock-75% of Prime's account size per breach
Prime Capital
  • The total size of all your active Prime Accounts combined, including scaled-up capital.
  • Each Master that Unlocks to Prime adds its Prime size (set by your reward split and model multiplier) to Prime Capital.
  • Scaling up an existing Prime grows Prime Capital further. Scale-ups do not grow Max Allocation.
  • Prime Capital is not reduced by breaches in the same way as Max Allocation. A breached Prime simply closes and its size leaves the Prime Capital total.
  • Maxed at $2,000,000 across all your Primes combined.
When Max Allocation is exhausted
Once Max Allocation is reached, purchasing new evaluation accounts will not be possible.
When Prime Capital reaches $600,000: Prime-only lockdown
When your Prime Capital reaches $600,000 all active evaluation and Master Accounts are closed. Purchasing new challenges is not possible. Scale your Prime Accounts to 2M.
Scenario: three $100k 2 Step accounts Unlock to Prime

Each Master reaches the 10% profit and Unlocks on the 60% Weekly cycle. Each Prime opens at $60,000 ($10,000 × 60% × 10). The walkthrough shows how each Unlock affects your Max Allocation and what happens when a Prime is breached.

1
You buy three $100k evaluation accounts
All three draw from your Max Allocation. $300k is fully consumed and no further evaluation accounts can be opened.
Max Allocation: $300k · $300k consumed · $0 free  |  Prime Capital: $0 of $2M
2
All three accounts Unlock to Prime
Each Unlock adds 50% of $60k = $30k to your Max Allocation, so three Unlocks add $90k total, raising the max from $300k to $390k. The three Master Accounts close and no longer consume Max Allocation. The three Prime Accounts consume their account sizes: 3 × $60k = $180k.
Max Allocation: $390k · $180k consumed · $210k free  |  Prime Capital: $180k of $2M
3
You open new evaluation accounts with the available Max Allocation
With $210k free, new evaluation accounts can be purchased. Each new account consumes Max Allocation, and each one that Unlocks to Prime adds another 50% of its new Prime's account size back, continuing to grow the Max Allocation toward $600k. Scaling up an existing Prime grows Prime Capital only; it doesn't change Max Allocation.
4
One Prime Account is breached
A breach permanently deducts 75% of the Prime's account size from your Max Allocation. Scaled amount is not counted; only the Prime's account size set at Unlock matters. The breached Prime closes, and its size leaves Prime Capital. Your other Prime Accounts continue trading without interruption.
$60k Prime breached at L1 (no scale-ups)
Breach penalty: 75% × $60,000 = $45,000 deducted permanently from Max Allocation.
Same Prime, breached after scaling to L3 ($101,400)
Breach penalty: 75% × $101,400 = $76,050. deducted permanently from Max Allocation.
Safety Net
There is always a path back

Markets are unpredictable. The Comeback Rule exists because skill shouldn't be permanently locked out, no matter how many times a trader needs to rebuild. There is no limit on how many times it can be triggered.

Comeback mode activates when both conditions are met
Condition 1 · No active accounts
You have no active Prime, evaluation, or Master accounts. Active accounts of any kind keep Comeback from triggering; those continue under their own rules.
and
Condition 2 · Max Allocation below $50,000
Your Max Allocation has fallen below $50,000. If your allocation is still at or above $50K with no active accounts, Comeback doesn't fire; you simply use your remaining allocation to purchase a new challenge.
how to come back
The Comeback Rule: no limit on attempts
1
Max Allocation resets to $50,000
Comeback Mode automatically resets your Max Allocation to $50,000. You're limited to one active account during Comeback (one eval or Master, up to $50k); you cannot hold a second until you reach Prime.
2
Open one eval up to $50k and work toward Prime
Open a single evaluation up to your $50k allocation. Pass the evaluation phases, reach Master, and trade toward Unlock. Example: a $50k 2 Step at the 10% with the 60% Weekly split Unlocks to a Prime at $30,000.
3
Once Prime is reached, normal mechanics resume
The one-active-account constraint lifts once you reach Prime. Max Allocation grows by 50% of your new Prime's account size: in the example above, +50% of $30k = +$15k, bringing your max to $65k. With $30k consumed by the Prime, you have $35k of free Max Allocation to purchase additional challenges. Normal allocation mechanics continue from here, up to the $600k.
Comeback Mode can be triggered again
If you breach during Comeback and both conditions are met again (no active accounts and Max Allocation below $50K), Comeback resets once more to a $50,000 baseline. There is no limit on the number of times this can happen.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Prime account reward cycle?

Prime accounts have a daily reward cycle. You can request rewards as many times as you like and continue trading at the same time. Requesting your rewards on PRIME does NOT reset your progress.

How do I actually unlock my Prime account?

After your 3rd reward is processed, reward requests pause on your Master and an UNLOCK button appears on your dashboard when you become eligible. Once you confirm UNLOCK, your next reward funds the Prime Account at your model's multiplier, the Master closes, and a new Prime is issued.

How does the end-of-day profit split work?

FundingPips 30% split is removed from the account at the end of each trading day on any profit left on the account, which goes towards your scale-ups on Prime. If you request a reward during the day for a closed profit, the 70/30 split is applied at that point and there's no additional EOD deduction for that profit. Any profit earned after a reward request and left on the account through EOD has its 30% deducted at the end of day.

What happens if I hit the 10% target on Prime but don't want to scale up immediately?

The scale-up is upon request, not automatic. You can keep trading past the threshold.

Does my cumulative profit reset after a scale-up?

No. Your cumulative profit counter carries forward across all levels and is calculated before the end-of-day split.

Can I request a reward before hitting the 10% scale-up target on my Prime Account?

Yes. On Prime, daily rewards are available and you don't need to wait until you hit the 10% scale-up target. The 10% target triggers scale-up eligibility, not reward eligibility. You can request rewards multiple times per day, as many times as you like, as long as each request meets the minimum 1% of your Prime Account Size. Each requested reward is deducted directly, so trading continues without waiting for processing.

If I hit $2M in Prime Capital before Level 10, am I a Certified FundingPips Trader?

Yes. There are two ways to become a certified FundingPips Trader, and either one qualifies you: hitting Level 10 on a Prime Account, or growing your total Prime Capital to $2,000,000 across all your Prime Accounts combined. Whichever you reach first, you're certified. From there, you're featured on Tradin Investor Marketplace.

What is the Comeback rule?

The Comeback Rule gives you another chance to work your way back to Prime. Your Max Allocation resets to $50,000, you can buy one evaluation up to $50,000 while in Comeback Mode. Once you reach Prime again, normal account mechanics resume, and your Max Allocation can continue growing.

What happens if my Master account hits 10% profit after my third reward?

Trading is disabled on the Master once you achieve 10% in profits after your third reward from the same Master account. Once you reach the reward cycle threshold and you meet all trading objectives, you can unlock your Prime account. If you purchased your Master Account before the Prime launch, unlocking Prime is not mandatory.

I already have a Master Account with +3 rewards before the NEW ERA update. Is unlocking Prime mandatory?

If you purchased your Master Account before the Prime launch, unlocking Prime is not mandatory. You have two options: stay on your Master Account and keep trading and requesting rewards as long as you want, or unlock Prime. Prime remains fully optional.
