Additional Rules

Single-phase evaluation: On a $100,000 account, traders must generate $10,000 in closed profits while respecting all drawdown rules. This is the largest single-phase target in the FundingPips 1-Step lineup.
Minimum trading days: At least 3 distinct calendar days per challenge and per funded payout cycle.
Daily loss limit of 4% static: On a $100,000 account, the maximum daily loss is $4,000.
Maximum drawdown of 6% static: The absolute floor is $94,000 on a $100,000 account.
Flexible profit split: Weekly 60%, Bi-Weekly 80%, On-Demand 90% (35% consistency), Monthly 100%.
Payouts every Tuesday. $10 fee per transaction. Minimum withdrawal 1% of initial balance including firm's share ($1,000 on a $100,000 account).
No consistency rule in evaluation. News trading unrestricted in evaluation. In funded, profits from ±5 minutes of high-impact news excluded (except On-Demand holders). EAs for execution only. Weekend and overnight holding permitted. Inactivity rule: 30 days.
Largest 1-Step account: At $100,000, this is the highest tier in the 1-Step lineup. The $10,000 profit target and $6,000 total drawdown buffer represent the highest absolute evaluation stakes across the entire 1-Step model.
Minimum withdrawal of $1,000 per payout: On a $100,000 funded account, each payout request must meet the 1% minimum threshold of $1,000. This must be earned consistently across each payout cycle, setting a high activity bar for passive or low-frequency strategies.
Hot Seat from $100,000 offers maximum scaling potential: Starting at $100,000 and reaching Hot Seat through the four-tier program unlocks $2,000,000 in capital — a 20x increase from the original account size. The combination of fee refund at the 4th payout and eventual Hot Seat access at 100% split makes the $100,000 1-Step the highest long-term value entry point in the model.

Scaling Plan

Tiered capital growth through performance: FundingPips operates a four-tier scaling program — Launchpad, Ascender, Trailblazer, and Hot Seat — progressively increasing capital, drawdown allowances, and profit splits.
Launchpad scale-up: A 10% funded account profit triggers a 20% balance increase and drawdown expansion to 11%.
Ascending tiers unlock further capital: Consistent traders progress through Ascender and Trailblazer tiers toward Hot Seat.
Hot Seat — the elite tier: 100% profit split, on-demand payouts with no consistency rule, capital up to $2,000,000.
Scaling based on original account size. Rules unchanged throughout scaling.
Fee refund on 4th payout: Full refund of the original evaluation fee after the 4th funded payout.
