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 $25,000 account, the daily limit starts at $750.
Trailing maximum drawdown of 5%: Starting buffer is $1,250 on a $25,000 account.
Safety cushion requirement: Account must be at least 3% above the trailing floor before a payout can be requested ($750 safety margin above trailing floor on a $25,000 account).
Minimum 7 profitable trading days per 30 days. Fixed bi-weekly payout at 95%. No other cycle options.
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.
At $25,000 the trailing floor creates compounding pressure: Growing from $25,000 to $26,000 raises the trailing floor from $23,750 to $24,700. A subsequent $1,000 losing session retraces all profits and comes within $300 of the floor — despite only being $1,000 below the peak. The trailing mechanism is relentless at this account size and requires regular payout requests to reset exposure.
15% consistency rule blocks payouts efficiently: A single $187.50 gain day on a $25,000 account requires $1,250 total profits before payout eligibility. Active traders who generate one strong session followed by moderate sessions will repeatedly encounter the consistency threshold, making account management more complex than evaluation-based models.

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.
