Funding Pips offers CFD trading evaluations across FX, metals, indices, energy and crypto. Its documented programmes include FundingPips Zero, 1-Step Flex, 2-Step Standard, 2-Step Pro and 2-Step Flex. Account sizes explicitly referenced in the source range from $5,000 to $200,000, while the firm states that total allocation can reach $400,000 across active evaluation and Master accounts.
Evaluation process
The evaluation structure depends on the selected model. The newly introduced 2-Step Flex uses two targets: 10% in the first phase and 6% in the second. It advertises a 12% maximum loss, a 4% daily loss limit, no time limit and no minimum trading days. The 1-Step Flex has no minimum trading-day requirement, while 2-Step Standard requires three evaluation trading days and 2-Step Pro requires one. For 2-Step Flex, traders can receive an 85% split without profitable-day conditions or pursue a 95% split with three profitable days of at least 0.5% each.
Rules
Evaluation news trading is allowed, but funded accounts prohibit executing orders five minutes before or after high-impact news and speeches; profits made during that window can be voided. Weekend holding is not allowed, and the source also prohibits crypto trading on weekends. FundingPips restricts gap trading, high-frequency trading, latency arbitrage, hedging, reverse arbitrage, tick scalping, churning and burning, and other listed strategies.
Personal EAs are allowed when the trader can prove ownership. Third-party EAs may be used only as trade or risk managers. Copy trading is allowed between accounts owned by the same individual, while inbound copying, coordinated trading between different users and third-party account management are prohibited. VPN and VPS connections are also prohibited.
Payouts and platforms
Minimum payouts are stated as 1% of the initial balance with no maximum limit, and processing takes one to three working days. The available schedule and split vary by model: 1-Step Flex pays bi-weekly at 85%, while 2-Step Standard offers weekly, bi-weekly, on-demand and monthly options with different splits. The Prime programme is MT5 only and offers an 80% reward split, subject to its separate rules.
Who it suits
Funding Pips may suit traders who want several evaluation formats, flexible timing on selected models and documented support for personally developed automation. It requires careful attention to model-specific payout conditions, news restrictions, prohibited strategies and changing temporary risk-management rules.
