Free Trial
Try FundingPips for free: no cost, real market conditions.

The Free Trial gives you a live MT5 trading environment that mirrors the 2 Step or 2 Step Pro model, at no cost. Both phases of the evaluation are available; profit targets and trading rules match the real model exactly. There is no profit entitlement and no path to a funded account.

  • 14-day per-phase time limit: Each phase expires 14 calendar days after activation.
  • Account sizes: Standard sizes available. USD only, no multi-currency. The $2,500 size is paid evaluations only.
  • Trading rules apply: Breaching a loss limit closes the trial account immediately.
  • One trial at a time, with no active paid accounts: The Free Trial can't run at the same time as a paid evaluation or Master Account. Only one trial account is allowed per user.

What account sizes are available on the Free Trial?

The Free Trial is available across all standard account sizes for both models. Accounts are denominated in USD only. No multi-currency option is available.

2 Step Trial

$5,000$10,000$25,000$50,000$100,000

2 Step Pro Trial

$5,000$10,000$25,000$50,000$100,000$200,000

The $200,000 size is available on the 2 Step Pro Trial only.

How does the 14-day time limit work?

The 14-day period applies per phase and starts the moment that phase is activated. It counts calendar days, not trading days. Weekends count. When the 14 days are up, the phase closes automatically regardless of your trading performance. Phase 1 and Phase 2 each receive their own 14-day window.

When can I open another Free Trial?

You can hold one Free Trial account at a time, and only when you have no active paid accounts. The Free Trial cannot run alongside any paid evaluation or Master Account. Once your current trial ends, you can open a new one. A trial ends when you breach a loss limit, the 14-day period expires, or you pass the trading objectives for the selected model.

There is no overall limit on the total number of Free Trial accounts you can take over time, provided you continue to have no active paid accounts when each new trial starts.

How is the 2 Step Daily Loss Limit calculated?

Daily Loss Limit: 5% 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 more than 5% of that baseline at any point during the day, including floating losses from open trades. The limit resets at 00:00 platform time (UTC+3).


Worked examples: $100,000 account

Balance is higher

Opening balance: $100,000

Opening equity: $99,000

Baseline = $100,000

5% = $5,000. Floor: $95,000

Equity is higher

Opening balance: $100,000

Opening equity: $102,000

Baseline = $102,000

5% = $5,100. Floor: $96,900

How is the 2 Step Maximum Loss Limit calculated?

Maximum Loss Limit: 10% of the initial account size.

Your equity or balance cannot touch this level at any point during the trial, including floating losses from open trades.


Worked example: $100,000 account

10% of $100,000 = $10,000. Your equity or balance cannot drop to $90,000 at any point.

How is the 2 Step Pro Daily Loss 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 more than 3% of that baseline at any point during the day, including floating losses from open trades. The limit resets at 00:00 platform time (UTC+3).


Worked examples: $100,000 account

Balance is higher

Opening balance: $100,000

Opening equity: $99,000

Baseline = $100,000

3% = $3,000. Floor: $97,000

Equity is higher

Opening balance: $100,000

Opening equity: $102,000

Baseline = $102,000

3% = $3,060. Floor: $98,940

How is the 2 Step Pro Maximum Loss Limit calculated?

Maximum Loss Limit: 6% of the initial account size.

Your equity or balance cannot touch this level at any point during the trial, including floating losses from open trades.


Worked example: $100,000 account

6% of $100,000 = $6,000. Your equity or balance cannot drop to $94,000 at any point.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as a Spread Test account?

No. Unlike a Spread Test account, the Free Trial lets you perform actual trading in a simulated environment with live market conditions, not just observe spreads. You can open, manage, and close positions just as you would in a real evaluation.

Do I need a FundingPips account before I can start the Free Trial?

No prior account is required. You can start the Free Trial through a quick sign-up that creates the account as part of the process. You only need your name and email. No credit card, no identity documents, no waiting period. If you already have a FundingPips account, sign in and start the trial directly from your dashboard, as long as you don't have any other active trading accounts.

What happens if I breach before the 14 days are up?

If your account breaches a loss limit before the 14-day period ends, the account closes immediately at that point. You can open a new trial right away, provided you still have no active paid accounts; you do not need to wait for the original 14 days to elapse.

Can I pause or extend the trial?

No. The timer runs continuously from activation and cannot be paused, extended, or reset.

Are there any trading objectives or goals?

Yes. Profit targets and minimum trading days match the real model exactly: 8% or 10% for 2 Step Phase 1, 5% for 2 Step Phase 2, and 6% for both phases on 2 Step Pro. The loss limits are also active, so if your account breaches the daily or maximum loss limit, the trial closes immediately.

Are the trading rules different from a regular account?

No. The model rules (leverage, commission, spreads, risk limits, profit targets, and minimum trading days) are identical to those on a standard 2 Step or 2 Step Pro evaluation account. The only differences are that each phase expires after 14 calendar days from activation, and there is no path to a funded account regardless of how the trial concludes.

Are trial profits eligible for rewards?

No. Any profits generated in the Free Trial environment aren't eligible for reward request. The trial is strictly a testing environment.

Can I convert my trial into a real evaluation account?

No. The Free Trial cannot be converted into an evaluation account or a Master Account under any circumstances. To begin a real evaluation, you need to purchase a challenge separately.

Is the Free Trial available in currencies other than USD?

No. Free Trial accounts are denominated in USD only. The multi-currency option available on paid evaluation accounts does not apply to the Free Trial.

How do I access the Free Trial?

Sign up with your name and email (skip this if you already have a FundingPips account), choose 2 Step or 2 Step Pro, and pick your preferred account size. Your trading credentials arrive instantly. From there, log in to MT5 using server FundingPips-Trial.
