How is the daily limit calculated?

Daily Loss Limit: 3% of the higher value between your opening balance or opening equity for that day.

At the start of each trading day, the system records both your balance and your equity. Whichever is higher becomes the baseline. Your equity cannot fall by more than 3% of that baseline at any point during the day, including floating losses from open trades.


1
When equity is the higher value

Opening balance: $105,000 / Opening equity: $107,000

Baseline = $107,000 (equity is higher)

3% of $107,000 = $3,210. Your equity cannot drop to $103,790 that day.

2
When balance is the higher value

Opening balance: $100,000 / Opening equity: $99,000

Baseline = $100,000 (balance is higher)

3% of $100,000 = $3,000. Your equity cannot drop to $97,000 that day.

Important
Both floating P&L and closed positions count toward the daily loss. The limit resets at 00:00 Platform Time (UTC+3). Check the countdown timer on your FundingPips dashboard.
How is the trailing drawdown calculated?

Maximum Trailing Loss Limit: 5% of your highest ever recorded equity.

The drawdown floor rises in step with your peak equity. It never moves down. Once your equity reaches 5% above the initial account balance, the floor stops trailing and locks permanently at the starting account size.


1
While trailing is active (below 5% profit)

Account size: $100,000 / Peak equity reached: $102,000

Floor = $102,000 - 5% = $96,900. Your equity cannot drop to $96,900 at any point.

2
When the floor locks (5% profit reached)

Account size: $100,000 / Peak equity reached: $105,000 (5% profit)

The floor locks permanently at $100,000 (the initial account size). It will not trail further, regardless of how high equity climbs afterwards.

Important
The Maximum Trailing Loss Limit does not reset after a reward is processed.
How is the 1% risk limit enforced?

Maximum Risk Limit: 1% of the initial account size, measured in real time against your combined floating PnL.

This rule looks at the total unrealised loss across all your open positions simultaneously. The moment the combined floating loss touches -1% of the initial account size, the account is breached, even if no trades have been closed yet.


1
Single open position

Account size: $100,000

1% of $100,000 = $1,000

If one open trade is floating at -$1,000 or worse at any moment, the account is breached.

2
Multiple open positions

Account size: $100,000

Three trades open simultaneously:

  • Trade A floating loss: -$400
  • Trade B floating loss: -$350
  • Trade C floating loss: -$250

Combined floating loss: -$1,000 = Breach, even though each trade individually is within limit.

Note
A profitable trade cannot offset a losing one when calculating this limit. Only losing positions count toward the -1% threshold.
What counts as a Risk Per Trade Idea?

The maximum loss allowed on a single trade idea on your Master Account, including both realised and unrealised losses across all related positions. Does not apply during evaluation.

  • Below $50K: 3% of initial account size
  • $50K and above: 2% of initial account size

1
Single Trades

Your biggest loss on any single trade must not reach the limit for your account size.

Below $50K

$25K account, limit: 3% = $750

A single trade loss of $750 or more = Breach

$50K and above

$100K account, limit: 2% = $2,000

A single trade loss of $2,000 or more = Breach

2
Same Trade Idea: Combined Positions

Multiple positions on the same pair open at the same time are treated as one trade idea. Combined losses (including unrealised) must not reach the limit.

Below $50K

$25K account, limit: 3% = $750

Three concurrent buys on EURUSD:

  • Trade 1 loss: $300
  • Trade 2 loss: $200
  • Trade 3 loss: $250

Combined: $750 = Breach, even if Trade 1 is still open

$50K and above

$100K account, limit: 2% = $2,000

Three concurrent sells on XAUUSD:

  • Trade 1 floating loss: $900
  • Trade 2 floating loss: $700
  • Trade 3 floating loss: $400

Combined: $2,000 = Breach, regardless of whether trades remain open

3
Splitting a Trade: The 10 Minute Rule

Opening a new position in the same direction within 10 minutes of closing a losing trade counts as the same trade idea. The combined loss from both trades is assessed against the limit.

Below $50K

$25K account, limit: 3% = $750

  • Trade 1: closed at $500 loss
  • Trade 2: reopened same direction within 10 min, $250 loss

Combined: $750 = Breach

$50K and above

$100K account, limit: 2% = $2,000

  • Trade 1: closed at $1,200 loss
  • Trade 2: reopened same direction within 10 min, $800 loss

Combined: $2,000 = Breach

What counts as a profitable day?

You must achieve at least 7 profitable days within every rolling 30-day period. A day only qualifies if the net closed profit for that day is at least 0.25% of the initial account size.

The first 30-day period starts on the account creation date. The counter resets either at the end of each cycle or after a reward is successfully processed.


1
What qualifies as a trading day

A day is counted only when a trade is closed on that day with at least 0.25% net profit. Opening a trade is not enough; it must be fully completed.

What counts as activity?

Your account is suspended 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.


1
When the inactivity clock starts
  • No trades placed yet: the clock starts from the account creation date.
  • Previously traded: the clock starts the day after your last trade was fully closed.
2
Open trades do not count

A trade only counts as activity once it is fully closed. Leaving a trade open does not reset or pause the inactivity timer.

What is the restricted news & weekend window?

There are two separate prohibitions on FundingPips Zero. Each is a hard breach on its own.


1
News Trading: Prohibited on all instruments

No position may be opened, closed, or held within the restricted window around any high-impact news event on the affected currency.

  • Scheduled news releases: the window runs from 10 minutes before the event to 10 minutes after.
  • High-impact speeches: the window runs from 10 minutes before the speech begins to 10 minutes after it ends.
  • Only events marked in red on Forex Factory are restricted. Medium and low-impact events are not affected.
News Calendar
FundingPips uses Forex Factory as the official news source. Only red-flagged (high-impact) events and speeches are restricted.
2
Weekend Holds: All instruments

All positions must be fully closed before market close on Friday. Leaving any position open into the weekend is an immediate account termination, regardless of instrument.

  • Forex, Metals, Energies, Indices, Crypto: must be closed before Friday market close.
Additional Guidelines: Soft Breach
Soft breaches do not lead to account closure, but may result in restrictions such as limited access or removal of profits depending on the violated rule.

Soft Breach

Soft Breach: Rewards Blocked Until Resolved
Consistency Score
15% max
Your single largest winning day must not exceed 15% of your total cumulative profit.
How is the score calculated? ↓
How is the consistency score calculated?

To request a reward, your biggest winning day must not exceed 15% of your total accumulated profit. You can keep trading to bring the score back within range.

Consistency Score = (Biggest Winning Day / Current Total Account Profit) x 100%

1
Worked example: $10,000 account
Day Result
Day 1 $518 Profit
Day 2 $497 Profit
Day 3 $508 Profit
Day 4 $459 Profit
Day 5 $492 Profit
Day 6 (Biggest Winning Day) $520 Profit
Day 7 $506 Profit
  • Total profit: $3,500
  • Maximum allowable single day (15%): $525 ($3,500 x 0.15)
  • Consistency score: $520 / $3,500 x 100% = 14.86%
Result: Passed
14.86% is within the 15% limit. Reward request can proceed provided all other conditions are also met.
2
How to fix a score that is too high

Continue trading and keep each day's profit below your current biggest winning day. As your total profit grows, the percentage that one big day represents will naturally fall and bring the score back within range.

Rewards: Minimum Amount
The minimum reward request is 1% of the initial balance (including FundingPips' split). Transfers are subject to exchange rates and transaction fees.

Reward Structure

Reward Cycle
Bi-Weekly
Every 14 calendar days after your first executed trade on the Master account. 95% profit split on every reward.
How does this work? ↓
How does the Bi-Weekly reward cycle work?

You can request a reward with a 95% profit split every 14 calendar days after your first executed trade on your Master Account. The cycle resets after each successfully processed reward.

If your reward date passes and you are not ready to request, the window remains open until you choose to submit. The cycle only resets once a reward is successfully processed.

Eligibility Requirements

All four conditions must be met simultaneously to submit a reward request:

1

Consistency Score 15% or below

Your biggest winning day must not exceed 15% of your total cumulative profits. See the Consistency Score accordion in Additional Guidelines for a full example.

2

7 Profitable Trading Days

At least 7 days with net profit of 0.25% or more of initial account size within the current rolling 30-day period.

3

3% Safety Cushion

The first 3% profit on the Master account isn't eligible for reward request. It acts as a buffer to prevent the daily loss limit from being triggered during reward processing.

4

Biggest Loss Does Not Exceed Biggest Win

Your largest single losing day must not exceed your largest single winning day. Keep trading until this condition is satisfied.

Trading Conditions: Execution Parameters
Understand the mechanics of your Master Account. This includes your purchasing power, trade costs, and execution limits.
Temporary Update: Effective 16 March 2026
  • Dynamic leverage has been applied to Metals, Energies, and Indices on Master Accounts.
  • See the Leverage section below for current applicable rates.

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.

MT5 Only
This add-on is exclusively available on MetaTrader 5. It is not supported on cTrader or MatchTrader.
  • Applies to Forex and Metals only.
  • Energies, Indices, and Crypto still incur standard swap charges even with the add-on active.
  • Weekend holds remain prohibited on FundingPips Zero regardless of this add-on. All positions must be closed before Friday market close.

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.

Crypto Commission Formula
Lot size x crypto price x 0.04%. For example, 1 lot of ETH/USD at $2,600 = $1.04 commission.
Instrument Standard Account Swap-Free Account (MT5)
Forex $7 per lot $10 per lot
Metals $7 per lot $10 per lot
Energies / Indices No commission No commission
Crypto 0.04% 0.04%

Indices 1:20 1:5
Crypto 1:2 1:1
Temporary Leverage Change: Active Now
A temporary adjustment is currently in effect. FundingPips monitors market conditions and may update leverage when volatility or risk levels change. All updates are communicated by email.

Temporary dynamic leverage (effective 16 March 2026 at 23:59 Server Time UTC+3):

Dynamic leverage applies a tiered structure to Metals, Indices, and Energies on Master Accounts. Instead of a single fixed rate, the leverage ratio decreases as your position size grows. Each tier applies only to the volume within its range, not your entire position.

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 lots and above 1:5
Example
On a 0.20 lot position: the first 0.05 lots use 1:50, the next 0.05 lots use 1:30, the next 0.05 lots use 1:25, and the remaining 0.05 lots use 1:20. Your margin requirement is calculated cumulatively across each tier.

Lot Size Limit

20-Lot Maximum per Click / Trade
A hard 20-lot cap is enforced at the platform level on every single trade. This cannot be overridden regardless of your margin or leverage allowance. For crypto specifically, a separate 1-lot limit per click applies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I break one of the trading rules?

Your account is immediately locked. Any trades that are still open get closed automatically, and the account switches to view-only mode, meaning you can see everything but can no longer place trades.

Your dashboard will show exactly which rule was broken and when. You will also receive an email notification straight away.

If my account drops below the limit for just a moment and then recovers, is it still a violation?

Yes. The moment your account value touches or drops below the limit, even briefly, it is counted as a violation. It does not matter if the account recovers right after.

My trade hit the loss limit during the day but closed in profit. Is my account still violated?

Yes. The violation is confirmed the moment the limit is touched. Even if the trade turns around and closes in profit, the account remains violated because the rule was broken at some point during the trade.

When does the 30-day inactivity clock start?

If you have not placed any trades yet, the clock starts from the day your account was created. If you have traded before, it starts the day after your last trade was fully closed. You need to complete at least one trade within any 30-day window to keep the account active.

I have an open trade right now. Does that count as activity?

No. A trade only counts as activity once it is fully closed. Leaving a trade open does not reset or pause the inactivity timer. The trade must be completed before the 30-day window runs out.

Can I trade during major news events?

No. On the Zero model, trading around high-impact news events is completely prohibited and results in immediate account closure. You cannot open, close, or hold any trade within 10 minutes before or after a high-impact news release on the affected currency.

FundingPips uses Forex Factory as the official news source. Only events marked in red (high-impact) are restricted. All positions, regardless of instrument, must also be closed before Friday market close.

Can I hold positions over the weekend on FundingPips Zero?

No. All positions on FundingPips Zero must be closed before Friday market close, regardless of instrument. Leaving any position open into the weekend is a hard breach and the account is closed immediately. This includes Forex, Metals, Energies, Indices, and Crypto.

My Consistency Score is too high and I cannot request a reward. How do I fix this?

The Consistency Score checks that no single day was responsible for too large a share of your total profits. If your best day made up more than 15% of everything you have earned so far, reward requests are blocked until the score comes back down.

Continue trading and keep each day's profit below your best day so far. As your total profit grows, the percentage that one big day represents will naturally decrease and bring the score back within range.

My reward date has passed but I am not ready to request yet. Will I lose it?

No. Once your reward cycle is complete, it stays available until you choose to request it. You can submit the request on any working day, as long as all requirements are met and your account is in good standing. The cycle only resets after a reward is successfully processed.

How many lots can I open at once on crypto?

You can open a maximum of 1 lot per click on crypto, as long as your account has enough available margin. A separate platform-wide limit of 20 lots per click applies across all instruments, but the 1-lot limit applies specifically to crypto.

My account was closed for inactivity. Do I get a discount on a new account?

On the Zero model, going 30 consecutive days with no completed trades results in a suspension, not a permanent closure. Contact support to request reactivation; you do not need to purchase a new account.

The Evaluation Reset is not available on FundingPips Zero in any case. The reset option exists only on 1 Step, 2 Step, and 2 Step Pro evaluation accounts.

Breached Zero accounts (trading-rule or risk violations) are closed permanently and cannot be reactivated or reset.

If one trade is profitable, can it cancel out a loss on another trade for the risk limit?

No. Profits from one trade cannot be used to offset losses from another when calculating the Risk Per Trade Idea limit. Each trade idea is assessed on its own losses only.

Does the trailing drawdown reset after I receive a reward?

No. The trailing drawdown never resets, including after a reward. It continues to follow your highest ever account value from the day the account was opened. The floor only ever moves up and never resets.

Once I reach 5% profit and the drawdown locks, does it ever move again?

No. Once your account reaches 5% profit above the starting balance, the drawdown floor locks permanently at the initial account size and stops trailing. It will not move up or down from that point, regardless of how your account performs afterwards.

Is there a time limit on the Zero model?

There is no evaluation to pass and no deadline to hit. FundingPips Zero is a funded account from day one. The only time-related rules are that you must complete at least one trade every 30 days to avoid inactivity, and you need 7 days with net profit of 0.25% or more of your initial account size within each rolling 30-day period to be eligible for rewards.
