Additional Rules

Two-phase evaluation: On a $100,000 account, traders must generate $6,000 in Phase 1 and $6,000 in Phase 2 while respecting all drawdown rules.
Minimum trading days: At least 3 distinct calendar days per phase and per funded payout cycle.
Daily loss limit of 3% static: On a $100,000 account, the maximum daily loss is $3,000.
Maximum drawdown of 6% static: The absolute floor is $94,000 on a $100,000 account.
45% consistency rule throughout: No single day can generate more than 45% of total profits in any phase or payout cycle.
Profit split: Weekly 80% or Daily 80% (35% consistency for Daily option).
Payouts every Tuesday or daily. $10 fee per transaction. Minimum withdrawal 1% of initial balance including firm's share ($1,000 on a $100,000 account).
News trading unrestricted in evaluation. In funded stage, profits from ±5 minutes of high-impact news excluded from rewards. EAs for execution only. Weekend and overnight holding permitted. Inactivity rule: 30 days.
Largest 2-Step Pro account: At $100,000, this is the highest tier in the Pro lineup. The $12,000 combined target and $6,000 total drawdown represent the highest absolute dollar stakes, with the same 2:1 profit-to-drawdown requirement that defines the Pro model throughout.
$3,000 daily limit creates a two-session wipeout risk: Two consecutive daily-limit sessions ($6,000 total) consume the entire drawdown buffer, terminating the account with no remaining recovery capacity. Consecutive bad days are account-ending at this size, making daily session management critical.
Hot Seat from $100,000 represents maximum upside: At $100,000, a Launchpad scale-up adds $20,000 to the account. Progressing through all tiers to Hot Seat eventually unlocks $2,000,000 — a 20x capital increase from the original account size, representing the highest potential return on evaluation fee in the Pro 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.
No fee refund on 2-Step Pro: The evaluation fee is not refunded regardless of funded performance.
