1 Step Model

No. There is no time limit to pass the evaluation. You can take as long as you need, as long as you complete at least one trade every 30 days to avoid inactivity and follow all trading rules.

After passing Phase 1, the Master Account is issued once the standard Master Account onboarding process is complete. This includes KYC verification, a review by the Responsible Trading Team (up to 2 working days), Customer Agreement signing, and connection to the risk management framework (a further 2 working days).

No. The profit target is only calculated on closed trades. Profits from trades that are still open do not count toward passing, even if they are showing a gain above the target. You need to close those trades for the profit to be counted.

No, this account is no longer offered. You can purchase one of the available account types instead: 1 Step Flex, 2 Step Standard, 2 Step Flex, 2 Step Pro, or FundingPips Zero.

No. Reset options are no longer available for this account.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

No. The Risk Per Trade Idea rule only applies on the Master Account. It does not apply during the evaluation phase, so you will not be penalized for it while working toward your profit target.

Your account is immediately locked. Any open trades are 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.

Yes. The news window restriction on the Master Account applies to all order types, not just market orders. Opening or closing any position type within the restricted window on the affected currency will result in those profits not being counted.

The 35% Consistency Score applies only on the On Demand reward cycle. It checks that no single day made up too large a share of your total profits. If your best day accounted for more than 35% of everything you have earned, On Demand 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.

Weekly, Bi-Weekly, and Monthly reward cycles are not subject to the 35% rule.

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.

You can open a max 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 is the binding restriction for crypto trades specifically.

The Profit Concentration Policy applies to newly created Evaluation accounts at $25,000 and above across all models with an evaluation phase: 1 Step, 2 Step Standard, 2 Step Pro, and 2 Step Flex. It does not apply to Zero accounts, as Zero is an instant Master Account with no evaluation phase.

A trade idea is a single trade, or multiple positions on the same instrument in the same direction, including any new position opened within 10 minutes of closing a losing trade. All of these positions are grouped and assessed together when measuring profit concentration.

If a single trade idea accounts for more than 60% of the profit target in any evaluation phase, the Master Account created after passing will require 4 minimum profitable days before each reward request, for the lifetime of the Master Account. The evaluation result itself is not affected.

A profitable day is a trading day where net realized profit is at least 0.5% of the account's initial balance on the Master Account. You need 4 of these days before each reward request, for the lifetime of the Master Account. The days do not need to be consecutive.

If your evaluation account was created before June 27, 2026, this policy does not apply. Only evaluation accounts created on or after June 27, 2026 are subject to this policy.

If your 1 Step Evaluation account was created before June 27, 2026, this policy does not apply, even after you pass and a Master Account is created. Only new 1 Step Evaluation accounts created on or after June 27, 2026 are subject to this policy.

No. Zero is an instant Master Account with no evaluation phase. The Profit Concentration Policy applies during evaluation phases only, so Zero accounts are not affected.

No. Triggering the 60% threshold does not fail the evaluation. You still pass normally. The only consequence is that your Master Account will require 4 minimum profitable days before each reward request, for the lifetime of the Master Account.
