How is the Max Loss Limit calculated?
Max Loss Limit: 6% of the starting account size.
This is a static floor; it never moves. Equity or balance cannot touch this level at any point across all phases, including floating losses from open trades.
Account size: $100K
6% of $100K = $6K. Equity or balance cannot drop to $94K at any point.
How is the Daily Loss Limit calculated?
Daily Loss Limit: 3% 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 3% 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.
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 events.
Restricted
News;
the window runs
from
5 minutes before or 5 minutes
after
high-impact news
.
Restricted
Speeches;
the window
spans from
5 minutes before the high-impact speech begins until 5
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 affects USD, trades cannot be opened or closed on any USD-related pairs within the 5-minute before or 5-minute after window.
- Trade opened 30 minutes before the event: closing it within the window will result in those profits not being counted.
Trading Rule Clarification
- Trades opened more than 5 hours before the news or speeches: profits will count if closed within the restricted window.
- Trades opened less than 5 hours before the news or speeches: profits will not count if closed during the restricted window.
- 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 and weekend holding are allowed during
evaluation phases for all instruments on 2 Step Pro.
Master
On the Master Account, holding trades overnight and
over the weekend is not allowed on 2 Step Pro Master
Accounts. All open trades will be automatically closed by the
system unless you have the Swing add-on.
Trades automatically closed by the system for overnight or weekend holding will not result in an account breach. However, weekday overnight trades will count as a valid trading day, while weekend holding will not count as a valid trading day.
Open positions on 2 Step Pro Master Accounts are closed by the system each day within a 15-minute window. Closing starts at the beginning of the window; any position still open at the end of the window will be closed.
| Period | Starts | Auto-close window |
|---|---|---|
| Summer time | First Sunday of March | 20:45 to 21:00 UTC |
| Winter time | First Sunday of November | 21:45 to 22:00 UTC |
Overnight and weekend holding on Master Accounts can be enabled at the time of purchase through an Add-on.
Impact of Weekday Overnight & Weekend Trades
Weekday overnight trades:
Profits from weekday overnight trades will be added to the account
balance and will count toward Minimum Trading Days, Minimum
Profitable Days, and the Consistency Score. The trade will also be
counted as a valid trading day.
Weekend trades:
Profits from weekend 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 but does not count
as a valid trading day.
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 Structure
Request a Reward with an 80% split every 7 calendar days after the first executed trade on the Master Account.
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 account is placed under the Striking System, at a 1% of account size warning trigger, at every account size.
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:
- 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
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 |
| 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 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 / 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 2 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 the evaluation phases, 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.
