Funding Pips rules for five CFD evaluation models and one instant account, published by the firm across a marketing page, a Zendesk help centre and two separate contracts. This is all of them in one place, with the disagreements between those three surfaces shown rather than tidied away. There is no futures product.

Common questions
Which document actually binds you?
The Terms and Conditions, and for Prime accounts the separate Prime Terms and Conditions. They incorporate the current trading rules and the Responsible Trading Policy in Appendix A by reference, so the help centre binds only where it does not conflict with them.
The trading objectives page and the product pages are marketing. They are incorporated by reference nowhere, and they carry no date of any kind.
What is the maximum risk per trade idea?
The binding terms cap it at 2% on master accounts of $50,000 and above and 3% below that, then name exemptions for 2 Step Standard and 2 Step Flex only. 1 Step Flex is given no exemption anywhere in that clause.
The 1 Step Flex product page says there is no restriction at all. One help article says the rule is not applicable to that model; another, updated the same day, publishes a table applying 3% and 2% to it by size. Four documents, four positions. Assume the contract applies.
Can you hold over the weekend?
Not on a master account. The help centre records that weekend holds have been suspended across all four standard models since 29 January 2026, with open trades auto-closed at Friday market close. The marketing page has said weekend holding is allowed throughout that period. On FundingPips Zero it is a hard breach in every document.
Is news trading allowed?
The product page says allowed. The binding Responsible Trading Policy says “News trading is forbidden, and intentionally trading the news will lead to termination”, and the main terms list purposely trading news events among prohibited practices. The help centre takes a third position: holding through news is fine during an evaluation, entering or exiting to capture the spike is not.
On FundingPips Zero it is a hard breach, including merely holding a position through the window.
Does Funding Pips pay 100%?
On the monthly cycle, yes, but only on master accounts purchased on or after 15 August 2026, and subject to the 35% consistency rule and seven profitable days. Accounts bought before that date are capped at 85, 90 or 95% depending on model and cycle.
How many accounts can you hold?
One identity. A single $400,000 maximum allocation is shared across every evaluation, master and Prime account you hold, and once KYC is approved on the first account no other account can be used under the same identity.
Who do you contract with?
FundingPips Corp, a limited liability company incorporated in the Comoros Union, number HY01223081, registered on Mohéli, with a registered address in the IFZA free zone in Dubai. The firm holds an International Brokerage and Clearing House Licence and states plainly that it “does not conduct brokerage services or offer real trading accounts on this website” and that its services “are limited to simulated trading programs”.
The general terms name Dubai as the governing jurisdiction. The separate Prime terms name the Union of the Comoros. Residents of the UAE, where the firm is headquartered, are excluded, as are residents of Vietnam and the FATF and sanctions lists.
Rules that apply to every account
These hold whichever model you buy.
How the limits work
Verified 25 August 2026A percentage of the higher of your opening balance or opening equity that day, measured against equity including floating profit and loss.
The reset time is published two ways. The binding terms say 00:00 CEST or server time. The help centre says 00:00 Platform Time, UTC+3. Those are an hour apart, and CEST does not exist for half the year. The help centre version is the one that matches the dashboard countdown.
Source: Source
On the five evaluation models this is a static percentage of the starting size. Both open and closed losses count, and equity or balance touching the floor is a hard breach with immediate closure and no grace period.
FundingPips Zero is different: a 5% floor that trails your highest ever equity one for one, never moves down, and locks permanently at the starting size once equity reaches 5% up. It does not reset after a reward is processed, so withdrawing profit lowers your balance while the floor stays where your peak equity put it.
Source: Source
Broader than one trade. A single trade, a trade split into several positions, or a new position in the same direction opened within ten minutes, all count as one position for the risk cap. The help centre adds re-entry within ten minutes of closing a loser.
Source: Source
Prohibited practices, and what they are for
Verified 25 August 2026Gap trading, high-frequency trading, toxic flow, server spamming, latency arbitrage, hedging, long-short and reverse arbitrage, tick scalping, execution exploits, opposite-account trading and churning, plus all forms of arbitrage. Also listed: overtrading, over-leveraging, gambling behaviour, poor money management, trading in illiquid hours, reverse trading between firms, repeated rapid account failures and all-or-nothing risk.
Nearly all of those describe extraction techniques rather than trading styles, and exist because the challenge model has been attacked persistently.
Source: Source
A warning fires at 1.2% floating loss on a single trade idea on 2 Step Standard above $25,000, and at 1% on 1 Step Flex at every size. The first warning deducts that idea’s profit; the second halves your split; the third cuts it to 20%; the fourth closes the account.
As an anti-abuse mechanism it is more proportionate than an outright breach, because it degrades rather than kills. Two things about it are harder to defend: warnings are cumulative for the life of the account and never reset, not even after a reward is paid, and a reduced split is not restored.
Source: Source
If a single trade idea accounts for more than 60% of the profit target in any evaluation phase, the master account you earn requires four minimum profitable days before every reward request, for the lifetime of that account. It applies at $25,000 and above. One good trade in phase one buys a permanent gate on every payout.
Source: Source
Copying between your own accounts is permitted, and using your account as a master to an external slave is permitted. Inbound copying and copying between different users are prohibited, and third-party account management is immediate termination.
Third-party expert advisors are allowed only as trade or risk managers. An advisor you wrote yourself may run full automation with proof of ownership, at the firm’s discretion, and it may ask for a live call in which you explain the logic. IP activity is logged.

Getting paid
Verified 25 August 2026The general terms and conditions contain no occurrence of consistency, payout, scaling, profit share, 80%, 85%, 95%, 100% or fourteen days. The entire reward economics, the splits, the cycles, the minimums, the 35% consistency rule, the Striking System and the $400,000 allocation cap, exists only on marketing pages and in the help centre.
The contract binds you to the loss limits, the targets and the minimum days, and promises nothing about what you are paid or when. This is common in the sector rather than unique to Funding Pips, and it is worth knowing before you rely on a published split.
Source: Source
The firm reserves the right to run mandatory risk assessments monthly, weekly or daily, and to withhold payment until an assessment is satisfactorily completed. Trading is disabled on the account while a reward is processed.
Source: Source
The minimum request is 1% of the master account size, inclusive of the firm’s split. Card, crypto on USDT or USDC ERC20, Rise from $500 with separate verification, and bank transfer from $500 in selected regions. Processing is one to three working days.

Accounts, resets and refunds
Verified 25 August 2026A single $400,000 maximum allocation is shared across every account you hold, and once KYC is approved on the first account no other account can be used under the same identity. Merging is allowed only between master accounts on the same model, is permanent and irreversible, and after merging the reward cycle of the first purchased account governs.
Source: Source
There are no refunds. The terms state the customer “is not entitled to a refund of the registration fees because the service is delivered directly after purchase”, and a breach at any stage terminates the account without refund.
Discounted resets are available only within seven calendar days of a breach: 15% off phase one, 10% off phase two, 7% on a master account excluding $100,000. Phase two and master resets restart you from phase one.
Source: Source
Prime is not purchasable. You enter by invitation, or by self-unlocking after your third reward, spending up to 10% of your master account size. That amount is spent rather than withdrawn, and your master account closes when the Prime account opens. Separate verification and a separate agreement apply.
Prime runs a 2% soft daily loss that pauses trading rather than breaching, an 8% trailing maximum loss, and an 80% split requestable several times a day. Profit you do not request still has the firm’s 20% taken at the end of each trading day. Scaling is published three ways across the site, and the binding Prime terms say scaling “is not automatic” and that reaching a profit target “does not create a right to scaling”.

Rules by model
Five purchasable CFD models. Prime is a progression tier rather than a product and is covered in part one. The free trial mirrors 2 Step Standard or 2 Step Pro for 14 days per phase and, in the firm’s own words, cannot be converted into a real evaluation or master account under any circumstances.

Where the three surfaces disagree
The binding terms cap risk at 2% on master accounts of $50,000 and above and 3% below, exempting 2 Step Standard and 2 Step Flex by name and giving 1 Step Flex no exemption. The 1 Step Flex product page says there is no restriction. One help article says the rule does not apply to that model. Another, updated the same day, applies 3% and 2% to it by size.
A trader on a $100,000 1 Step Flex account who follows the page they bought from and risks 3% is in breach of the contract they signed. This is the most consequential divergence on the site.

Every model card on the trading objectives page says overnight and weekend holding is allowed. The help centre says weekend holds have been suspended on master accounts across all four standard models since 29 January 2026. Both contracts are silent, so the help centre governs.

“Allowed” on every model card. “Forbidden” in the binding Responsible Trading Policy. Permitted-but-not-for-the-spike in the help centre. Three published positions on a rule that can terminate an account.
On 27 August 2026 the help centre article was rewritten. Data releases keep a fixed restricted window of five minutes either side. Speeches were given a different one: “Restricted window runs from 10 minutes before the speech begins until 10 minutes after it concludes.”
Named, and then unnamed. When this page was first verified on 25 August 2026, the firm’s high-impact list explicitly included Trump speeches and posts on X. Following trader reaction, the article was rewritten on 27 August and that naming was removed. What remains is the speech restriction itself. No correction notice was published on the firm’s own channels, and the article carries no revision history, so a trader reading it today cannot see that it changed.
A data release happens at a known second. A speech does not have a scheduled end, so the restricted window runs for as long as the speaker does, and a trader cannot know its length in advance. “Speeches” is named in the affected-announcements list for both USD and EUR.
The exemption is the part worth knowing: a trade opened five hours or more before the event keeps its profit even if it closes inside the window. Otherwise the full profit of that trade is deducted, not just the portion earned in the window, closing part of an order flags the whole order, and the trader carries the risk if the deduction itself breaches the daily or maximum loss limit.

How this page is maintained
Every figure here was read from Funding Pips’ own pages as markup, in a browser, on 25 August 2026, either from the rendered page or from the help centre’s own API. Where two of their documents disagree, both are shown and the binding one is named.
Rules in this industry change often, largely in response to abuse, and Funding Pips holds its rules on three surfaces. Its help centre articles carry real modification dates and nine of the twenty-two were edited on the day we checked, so this is a firm actively maintaining its rules. The marketing layer is simply not part of that loop.
Right of reply
Every figure on this page was read from Funding Pips’s own published pages and is linked to its source, with the date it was checked. If something here is wrong, we want to know.
If you work for the firm: write to corrections@propfirmbriefing.com. We aim to acknowledge within two working days.
What happens next depends on what is wrong.
- If we have misread a rule, we correct it, date the correction and record it in the changelog on this page.
- If the rule has changed since we checked, we re-read the source, update the value and log both the old and the new figure.
- Where we have documented a contradiction between two of the firm’s own published documents, we will not remove it. We will publish the firm’s explanation alongside it, and mark it resolved when the underlying documents agree.
- If the disagreement is about interpretation rather than fact, we publish the firm’s position in full next to ours and leave readers to weigh both.
We do not accept payment to change or remove anything, and whether we have a commercial relationship with a firm makes no difference to any of the above. Corrections are shown on the page, never made silently.
If you are a trader and a rule here no longer matches what you see in your account, tell us at the same address. Rules in this industry move quickly and traders usually notice before we do.
