How is the Max Loss Limit calculated?
Max Loss Limit: 12% of the starting account size.
The Max Loss Limit is based on the starting account size. Both open and closed losses are counted, and equity or balance cannot touch this level at any point, including floating losses from open trades. A breach closes the account.
Starting account size: $100K
Based on $100K (the account size)
12% of $100K = $12K. Equity or balance cannot drop to $88K at any point.
How is the Daily Loss Limit calculated?
Daily Loss Limit 2% or 3% (based on the configuration you purchased) of the higher value between the opening balance or opening equity for that day.
At the start of each trading day, the system records both balance and equity. Whichever is higher becomes the baseline. Equity cannot fall by more than Daily Loss Limit of that baseline at any point during the day, including floating losses from open trades.
Opening balance: $105K / Opening equity: $107K
Baseline = $107K (equity is higher)
3% of $107K = $3,210. Equity cannot drop to $103,790 that day.
Opening balance: $100K / Opening equity: $99K
Baseline = $100K (balance is higher)
3% of $100K = $3K. Equity cannot drop to $97K that day.
What counts as activity?
The account is breached if no trades are completed in 30 consecutive calendar days. At least one complete trade, opened and fully closed, must occur within any 30-day window to keep the account active.
- No trades placed yet: the clock starts from the account creation date.
- Previously traded: the clock starts the day after the last trade was fully closed.
A trade only counts as activity once it is fully closed. Leaving a trade open does not reset or pause the inactivity timer. There is no time limit to hit the Profit Target, so this is the one rule that can close the account without a loss.
News & Speeches Trading
We use the
Economic Calendar on the FundingPips dashboard
as our official news source, which features the News
and
Speeches.
Trading during high-impact news and speeches is subject to specific
restrictions depending on account phase.
There are no news trading restrictions during the Evaluation phase. Trades can be held and managed during the news events.
Trades can be held during news events on the Master Account, however specific rules apply to trades opened or closed near high-impact news or speeches events.
Restricted
News;
the window runs from
5 minutes before or 5 minutes
after
high-impact news.
Restricted
Speeches;
the window
runs from
10 minutes before the high-impact speech begins until 10
minutes after
it concludes.
Trades opened 5 hours or more before a high-impact event or speech are excluded from the restriction and can be closed within the restricted window. Profits from these trades will count.
- Related currency: if news and speeches affects USD, trades cannot be opened or closed on any USD-related pairs within the restricted windows.
- Trade opened 30 minutes before the event: closing it within the window will result in those profits not being counted.
- Trades opened more than 5 hours before the news or speech: profits will count if closed within the restricted windows.
- Trades opened less than 5 hours before the news or speech: profits will not count if closed during the restricted windows.
- Closing any partial orders will affect the entire order, leading to a news trading flag.
- Traders are responsible for violations if deductions exceed the daily or max loss limit.
Overnight & Weekend Holding
Evaluation
Overnight & Weekend holding are allowed during evaluation phases for all instruments on 1 Step Flex.
Master
On the Master Account, holding trades overnight and over the weekend is not allowed on 1 Step Flex Master Accounts. All open trades will be automatically closed by the system unless you have the Swing add-on.
Trades closed by the system for Overnight & Weekend holding will not result in an account breach; however, it will not count as a valid trading day.
Open positions on 1 Step Flex Master Accounts are closed by the system each day within a 15-minute window:
• Summer time (from the first Sunday of March): 20:45 – 21:00 UTC
• Winter time (from the first Sunday of November): 21:45 – 22:00 UTC
Closing starts at the beginning of the window, and any position still open at the end of it will be closed. Overnight and weekend holding on Master Accounts can be enabled at the time of purchase through an Add-on.
Impact of Weekend trades on consistency score
Profits from these trades will still be added to the account
balance while the biggest winning day and biggest losing
day
will be included in the consistency score calculation.
Swap-Free Add-On
Available at purchase for traders observing Islamic finance principles. Removes overnight swap charges on eligible instruments.
During purchase, traders can select the Swap-Free add-on to hold positions overnight without incurring swap (interest) fees.
- Applies to Forex and Metals only.
- Energies, Indices, and Crypto still incur standard swap charges even with the add-on active.
Reward Cycles
Request a Reward every two weeks. The profit has to meet the 1% minimum of the account size first. On a $100K account that is $1K.
Request a Reward with a 100% split every 30 calendar days after the first executed trade on the Master Account. The consistency score and profitable days reset after each successfully processed reward.
Eligibility Requirements
- A 35% consistency score must be achieved: no single trading day can account for more than 35% of total profit. This resets after each reward.
- At least 7 profitable days to qualify for a reward, each with 0.5% or more profit of the starting Master Account Size. Profitable days resets after each reward.
- The Striking System already applies at a 1% of account size warning trigger, at every account size. The Monthly cycle does not change this; the trigger remains 1% on Bi-Weekly as well.
- One trade
- Multiple trades running together on the same instrument and in the same direction
- Two or more new trades opened within 10 minutes of closing a losing trade
How does the Striking System work?
The Striking System applies when the closed and floating loss on one trade idea reaches 1% of the Master Account size.
All losses from a single trade idea are counted together. A trade idea can be any of the following:
Warnings are cumulative and do not reset between Reward cycles.
| Warning | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1st | A warning is recorded. |
| 2nd | The reward split drops by half (for example, from 80% to 40%). |
| 3rd | The reward split drops to 20%. |
| 4th | Account breach. The account is closed immediately. |
- Dynamic leverage has been applied to Metals, Energies, and Indices on Master Accounts. See the Important Information section below.
Commission
Standard accounts use the base commission structure. Accounts with the Swap-Free Add-on (MT5 only) pay higher commission in exchange for no overnight swap fees.
| Instrument | Standard Account | Swing and Swap Free accounts |
|---|---|---|
| Forex | $5 per lot | $10 per lot |
| Metals | $5 per lot | $10 per lot |
| Energies | No commission | No commission |
| Indices | No commission | No commission |
| Crypto | 0.04% | 0.04% |
Leverage
| Instrument | Standard Account | Swing and Swap Free accounts |
|---|---|---|
| Forex | 1:100 | 1:30 |
| Metals | 1:30 | 1:10 |
| Energies | 1:10 | 1:5 |
| Indices | 1:20 | 1:5 |
| Crypto | 1:2 | 1:1 |
Once Phase 1 is passed and the account moves to the Master Account, Crypto leverage changes from 1:2 to 1:1, including on swap-free accounts. This is a temporary change and is separate from the Dynamic Leverage below. During Phase 1, Crypto leverage stays at 1:2.
Important Information
We actively monitor market conditions and geopolitical developments to ensure a safe and stable trading environment. When volatility, liquidity, or overall risk levels change, we may adjust Commission & Leverage as needed. This can include temporary changes to leverage and margin requirements. All updates will be communicated to clients promptly by email.
Leverage Update: Effective 16 March 2026 at 23:59 Server Time (UTC+3)
Temporary Dynamic Leverage
Dynamic leverage is designed to give more trading flexibility while maintaining responsible risk controls. Instead of applying a single fixed leverage ratio to the entire position, it uses a tiered structure where smaller trade lot sizes benefit from higher leverage, and the ratio gradually decreases as position size grows. The temporary Dynamic Leverage is applied to Metals, Indices, and Energies on Master Accounts.
Dynamic Leverage Tiers
| Lot Size | Leverage |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| 0.50 and above lots | 1:5 |
The first 0.05 lots of any position uses 1:50 leverage, meaning only a small fraction of the trade's full value is needed as margin. As the position grows beyond that, each additional portion requires progressively more margin (stepping through 1:30, 1:25, 1:20, and 1:10) until any volume above 0.50 lots uses the base rate of 1:5.
The margin requirement is calculated cumulatively, each tier only applies to the portion of volume within its range, not the entire position. So, the lower tiers always benefit the trade, no matter how large it becomes.
