Additional Rules
No evaluation phase: Traders receive immediate access to a funded Master account from day one with no challenge, no profit target, and no evaluation required. The account is activated the moment payment is confirmed and trading can begin immediately.
No profit target: There is no minimum return required to remain active or qualify for payouts. The only obligations are to respect the trailing daily drawdown, trailing maximum drawdown, and all Zero-specific trading rules.
Trailing daily loss limit of 3%: On a $5,000 account, the daily loss limit starts at $150. Unlike static models, the Zero's daily limit is trailing — it is calculated based on the higher of daily starting balance or current equity, meaning it adjusts upward as the account grows. The dollar amount of the limit increases proportionally with any account balance growth through scaling.
Trailing maximum drawdown of 5%: The total loss limit trails the highest equity point achieved. On a $5,000 account, the starting buffer is $250. As new equity highs are reached, the trailing floor rises permanently, progressively tightening the risk margin as profits accumulate.
Safety cushion requirement: Zero accounts must maintain a minimum 3% profit buffer above the trailing drawdown floor to remain payout-eligible. Traders must not only avoid breaching the drawdown but must also maintain a positive margin above the floor before requesting a reward. On a $5,000 account, the safety cushion requirement means the account must be at least $250 above the trailing floor at the time of payout request.
Minimum 7 profitable trading days per 30 days: Zero accounts require at least 7 profitable trading days within every 30-day rolling window. A day qualifies as profitable if closed trades generate a positive result. Failure to meet this requirement in any 30-day window results in account closure. This is significantly higher than the 3-day minimum on challenge models.
Fixed bi-weekly payout at 95%: Zero accounts are locked to bi-weekly payouts at a fixed 95% profit split. There are no other payout cycle options — traders cannot choose Weekly, On-Demand, or Monthly splits as available on the evaluation models.
15% consistency rule: No single trading day may account for more than 15% of total profits accumulated since the last payout or account creation. If this threshold is exceeded, payouts are blocked until further trading normalizes the ratio. This is the strictest consistency rule in the FundingPips lineup — three times tighter than the 45% on the Pro model.
No news trading: News trading is prohibited on Zero accounts during the funded stage. Opening or closing trades within a 10-minute window around high-impact news events (5 minutes before and 5 minutes after) results in profits from those trades being excluded and potentially triggers account review. This is a 10-minute window versus the 5-minute window on evaluation-based funded accounts.
No weekend holding: Positions must be closed before market close on Friday. All open positions at the weekend close are liquidated automatically. Zero accounts do not support overnight weekend holds under any conditions.
Leverage capped at 1:50 for Forex: Dynamic leverage applies to metals, indices, and energies — leverage tiers scale down from 1:50 to as low as 1:5 depending on position size and instrument class. This dynamic reduction automatically limits exposure on large positions in volatile instruments.
EAs permitted for execution and risk management. Third-party strategy EAs, arbitrage, HFT, evaluation-passing bots, and gap trading prohibited. Copy trading only between own FundingPips accounts.
Inactivity rule: At least one trade per 30-day window. Accounts inactive for 30 consecutive days are closed automatically.
Trailing drawdown from first trade: The 5% trailing threshold begins following equity from the very first trade. Any early gain immediately tightens the loss floor, meaning a profitable opening session followed by a reversal can breach the account even if overall results remain positive.
Very tight buffer on $5,000: With only $250 of starting buffer, the entire trailing drawdown can be consumed in a single adverse session. At 1:50 leverage, even modest position sizes generate dollar exposure that can breach the $250 buffer rapidly without conservative lot sizing.
15% consistency rule is the defining operational constraint: On a $5,000 account, any single day generating $37.50 or more requires at least $250 in total profits before a payout is accessible. A strong early session disproportionate to subsequent performance blocks payouts indefinitely until the ratio normalizes through additional consistent trading days.
No weekend holding eliminates swing strategies: Zero is fundamentally incompatible with strategies that hold trades across weekly closes. All swing traders and position traders must either close Friday positions or switch to an evaluation-based model that permits weekend holding.
Zero vs evaluation models: Zero provides the highest fixed profit split in the FundingPips lineup at 95% without evaluation, but the trailing drawdown, 15% consistency rule, no news trading, no weekend holding, and 7-day minimum activity requirement make it the most operationally restrictive model. Traders with balanced, consistent daily strategies who do not rely on news volatility or weekend holding will maximize the value of the Zero account.

Scaling Plan
Tiered capital growth through performance: FundingPips operates a four-tier scaling program — Launchpad, Ascender, Trailblazer, and Hot Seat — that progressively increases funded capital, drawdown allowances, and profit splits as traders demonstrate consistent performance across payout cycles.
Launchpad scale-up: Once a trader generates a 10% profit on their Zero account and meets payout eligibility, the account balance increases by 20% of the original account size and the maximum drawdown limit expands to reflect the new capital level.
Ascending tiers unlock further capital: Consistent traders progress through Ascender and Trailblazer tiers, each unlocking higher capital allocations and improved conditions, with the full structure culminating in the Hot Seat program.
Hot Seat — the elite tier: Traders who reach Hot Seat status unlock a 100% profit split, on-demand payouts with no consistency rule, and access to capital of up to $2,000,000.
Scaling based on original account size: All balance increases are calculated from the original account size, not from any previously scaled or merged balance.
Consistent rules throughout scaling: The daily loss limit, trading rules, and risk parameters remain unchanged as the account scales. Only the capital allocation and drawdown allowance increase at each tier.
No fee refund on Zero: The Zero instant funding fee is not refunded regardless of funded performance. The higher entry cost reflects immediate funded access without any evaluation requirement.
