Additional Rules

Two-phase evaluation: On a $50,000 account, traders must generate $3,000 in Phase 1 and $3,000 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 $50,000 account, the maximum daily loss is $1,500.
Maximum drawdown of 6% static: The absolute floor is $47,000 on a $50,000 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 ($500 on a $50,000 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.
Total combined target of $6,000 against $3,000 drawdown: At $50,000, the 2-Step Pro requires generating exactly double the available drawdown buffer across both phases. This 2:1 profit-to-risk requirement demands near-perfect execution throughout with no room for extended losing runs in either phase.
Daily option creates sustainable cashflow at $50,000: For active traders generating $500–$1,500 per day, the Daily 80% payout at $50,000 provides consistent daily access to profits. The 35% consistency requirement at this size means no single day should generate more than 35% of the current cycle's total profits to avoid payout blocks.

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.
