Additional Rules

No evaluation phase: Immediate funded Master account access from day one.
No profit target: Only obligations are the trailing daily drawdown, trailing maximum drawdown, safety cushion, and Zero-specific trading rules.
Trailing daily loss limit of 3%: On a $100,000 account, the daily limit starts at $3,000.
Trailing maximum drawdown of 5%: Starting buffer is $5,000 on a $100,000 account.
Safety cushion requirement: Account must be at least 3% above the trailing floor before a payout can be requested ($3,000 safety margin above trailing floor on a $100,000 account).
Minimum 7 profitable trading days per 30 days. Fixed bi-weekly payout at 95%.
15% consistency rule: No single day may generate more than 15% of total profits in the current payout cycle.
No news trading within ±10 minutes of high-impact events. No weekend holding. Leverage 1:50 Forex. Inactivity rule: 30 days.
Largest Zero account: At $100,000, this is the highest tier in the Zero lineup. The $5,000 trailing buffer and $3,000 daily limit represent the highest absolute risk parameters, with the same proportional rules applying as at every smaller size.
Trailing floor tightens rapidly at $100,000: Growing from $100,000 to $102,000 raises the trailing floor from $95,000 to $96,900 — consuming $1,900 of the original $5,000 buffer in just $2,000 of gains. Continued profitable trading progressively compresses the safety margin, making frequent bi-weekly withdrawals essential to reset the trailing floor relative to current balance.
15% consistency rule at $100,000 is the hardest to manage: Any single day generating $750 or more requires $5,000 in total profits before a payout is accessible. A trader generating $3,000 in one exceptional session needs $20,000 total profits to normalize the ratio — effectively requiring weeks of consistent moderate trading before a single strong day's profits become accessible. This makes the Zero structurally incompatible with high-variance or news-driven strategies regardless of account size.

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 expanded drawdown allowance.
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. Risk parameters unchanged throughout scaling.
No fee refund on Zero: The instant funding fee is not refunded regardless of funded performance.
