FundingPips news trading rules

Evaluation (1 Step Flex / 2 Step Standard / 2 Step Flex / 2 Step Pro): no restriction on holding through news - but deliberately trading the news is prohibited in both evaluation and Master. Master Account: profits from trades opened OR closed within 5 min before to 5 min after a Restricted high-impact release on the affected currency are deducted (the FULL profit of that trade, not just the part earned in the window); for Restricted speeches the window runs 5 min before the start to 5 min after the end (10 minutes each side on accounts bought before 28 Sep 2026). Exception: trades opened 5+ hours before the event keep their profits. Closing a partial order flags the whole order. A news-profit deduction can itself push the account past a loss limit, and that breach counts. Zero: opening, closing OR holding a position within 10 min before/after is a hard breach = account closure. 1K Instant: no news restriction.

FundingPips weekend and overnight holding rules

Master Account on 1 Step Flex / 2 Step Standard / 2 Step Flex / 2 Step Pro, for accounts bought or reset from 28 Sep 2026: no overnight or weekend holds unless you take the Swing add-on (10%) at purchase - the system auto-closes open trades every day (20:45-21:00 UTC in summer, 21:45-22:00 UTC in winter); not a breach, and profit is added to the balance and counts toward the consistency score, and since the 8 Oct 2026 help-centre update a WEEKDAY overnight trade the system closes counts as a valid trading day (and toward minimum trading and profitable days); a trade closed for weekend holding still does not. Swing accounts get lower leverage (Forex 1:30, Metals 1:10) and pay $10/lot commission on Forex and Metals. Accounts bought before 28 Sep 2026 keep the older Master rule: only weekend holds are auto-closed (since 29 Jan 2026). Evaluation on all four: overnight and weekend holds allowed, all instruments (crypto only during evaluation). Zero: any position left open into the weekend = immediate termination, all instruments. 1K Instant: exempt - weekend holds allowed.

FundingPips EA and trading bot rules

Self-developed EA: full automation allowed with proof of ownership (source code, version-control history, development-environment evidence, or explaining the logic on a live call - a compiled binary alone is not proof). Third-party EA: permitted only as a trade or risk manager, never to fully automate - any other use means denial of the evaluation or reward and account closure. Exceptions: 1K Instant allows third-party EAs and copiers including full automation; Monthly Competition bans all EAs. HFT remains a forbidden strategy on every model.

FundingPips consistency rules

None on the bi-weekly cycles of 1 Step Flex and 2 Step Flex, on 2 Step Pro's weekly 80% cycle, or on 2 Step's weekly 60% and bi-weekly 80% cycles. A 35% consistency score applies to the Monthly 100% cycle on every evaluation model (accounts purchased 15 Aug 2026 onwards), which also needs 7 profitable days of at least 0.5%. Zero runs the tightest rule on the board: a 15% cap, meaning your biggest winning day may not exceed 15% of cumulative profit - a soft rule that blocks the reward request rather than closing the account. 2 Step accounts bought before 28 Sep 2026 also have an On Demand 90% cycle with a 35% best-day cap and a 2% minimum request.

FundingPips rules plan by plan

FundingPips 1 Step Flex rules

12% profit target (single phase), 2% or 3% daily loss (chosen at purchase), 12% max loss, NO minimum trading days, no time limit, bi-weekly rewards at 80%, NO Consistency Score on that cycle. Since 15 Aug 2026 a Monthly 100% cycle is also offered on accounts purchased from that date - it is the only 1 Step Flex cycle with a consistency score (35% best-day cap + 7 profitable days of >=0.5%). Bi-weekly eligibility: profit of at least 1% of the account size, no profitable-day requirement. The Profit Concentration Policy (one trade idea worth over 60% of the target means 4 profitable days of >=0.5% before each reward) is legacy only: it covers accounts bought 27 Jun - 27 Sep 2026 and is not in the rules for purchases or resets from 28 Sep 2026. On the Monthly cycle a 1% Striking System steps the reward split down before closure (on every cycle only for accounts bought before 28 Sep 2026).

Three reward cycles: Weekly 60% / Bi-Weekly 80% / Monthly 100%, chosen once when the account reaches Master and fixed after that, with a minimum request of 1% of the account size. Weekly and bi-weekly carry no consistency rule; Monthly 100% (accounts purchased 15 Aug 2026 onwards) adds a 35% consistency score AND 7 profitable days, and puts the account under the Striking System. The original fee is refunded with the 4th reward (2 Step only). Accounts bought before 28 Sep 2026 keep the old On Demand 90% cycle (35% best-day cap, 2% minimum request). EA allowed, no HFT.

FundingPips Zero rules

No evaluation. 3% daily loss, 5% Max Trailing Loss Limit (locks at breakeven once 5% in profit), 1% Max Open Risk Limit on losing open positions (floating profit on one trade does not offset a loss on another), risk per trade idea 3% below $50K / 2% at $50K and above. News and weekend trading are hard breaches, and so is missing 7 profitable days (net closed profit of 0.25%+ of the account each) in any rolling 30-day period. Bi-weekly 95% rewards also need the 3% safety cushion, a 15% consistency score and a biggest-loss-under-biggest-win check. No Monthly 100% cycle on Zero.

Does FundingPips allow news trading?

Evaluation (1 Step Flex / 2 Step Standard / 2 Step Flex / 2 Step Pro): no restriction on holding through news - but deliberately trading the news is prohibited in both evaluation and Master. Master Account: profits from trades opened OR closed within 5 min before to 5 min after a Restricted high-impact release on the affected currency are deducted (the FULL profit of that trade, not just the part earned in the window); for Restricted speeches the window runs 5 min before the start to 5 min after the end (10 minutes each side on accounts bought before 28 Sep 2026).

Can you hold trades overnight or over the weekend at FundingPips?

Master Account on 1 Step Flex / 2 Step Standard / 2 Step Flex / 2 Step Pro, for accounts bought or reset from 28 Sep 2026: no overnight or weekend holds unless you take the Swing add-on (10%) at purchase - the system auto-closes open trades every day (20:45-21:00 UTC in summer, 21:45-22:00 UTC in winter); not a breach, and profit is added to the balance and counts toward the consistency score, and since the 8 Oct 2026 help-centre update a WEEKDAY overnight trade the system closes counts as a valid trading day (and toward minimum trading and profitable days); a trade closed for weekend holding still does not. Swing accounts get lower leverage (Forex 1:30, Metals 1:10) and pay $10/lot commission on Forex and Metals. Accounts bought before 28 Sep 2026 keep the older Master rule: only weekend holds are auto-closed (since 29 Jan 2026). Evaluation on all four: overnight and weekend holds allowed, all instruments (crypto only during evaluation). Zero: any position left open into the weekend = immediate termination, all instruments. 1K Instant: exempt - weekend holds allowed.

Are EAs and trading bots allowed at FundingPips?

Self-developed EA: full automation allowed with proof of ownership (source code, version-control history, development-environment evidence, or explaining the logic on a live call - a compiled binary alone is not proof). Third-party EA: permitted only as a trade or risk manager, never to fully automate - any other use means denial of the evaluation or reward and account closure. Exceptions: 1K Instant allows third-party EAs and copiers including full automation; Monthly Competition bans all EAs. HFT remains a forbidden strategy on every model.

Does FundingPips have a consistency rule?

None on the bi-weekly cycles of 1 Step Flex and 2 Step Flex, on 2 Step Pro's weekly 80% cycle, or on 2 Step's weekly 60% and bi-weekly 80% cycles. A 35% consistency score applies to the Monthly 100% cycle on every evaluation model (accounts purchased 15 Aug 2026 onwards), which also needs 7 profitable days of at least 0.5%. Zero runs the tightest rule on the board: a 15% cap, meaning your biggest winning day may not exceed 15% of cumulative profit - a soft rule that blocks the reward request rather than closing the account. 2 Step accounts bought before 28 Sep 2026 also have an On Demand 90% cycle with a 35% best-day cap and a 2% minimum request.

How often does FundingPips pay out?

1 Step Flex: Bi-weekly 80%, or Monthly 100% (accounts purchased 15 Aug 2026 onwards); 2 Step: Weekly 60%, Bi-Weekly 80% or Monthly 100% (Monthly on accounts purchased from 15 Aug 2026), chosen once when the account reaches Master and fixed after that; minimum request 1% of the account size; 2 Step Flex: Bi-weekly 80% or 95% (chosen at purchase, locked); the 95% split needs 3 profitable days >=0.5% per cycle and the counter resets after every reward. Monthly 100% is also available on accounts purchased 15 Aug 2026 onwards; 2 Step Pro: Weekly 80% (7 days after your first executed trade on the Master Account), or Monthly 100% (accounts purchased 15 Aug 2026 onwards); Zero: Bi-weekly.
