FundingPips FAQ

It depends on whose EA it is. FundingPips allows third-party EAs only as a trade or risk manager; using one for anything else leads to denial of the evaluation or reward and account closure. An EA you developed yourself may fully automate trading if you can prove ownership, for example with uncompiled source code, version history or a live call explaining its logic. A compiled file alone is not proof. On the 1K Instant Account, third-party EAs and copiers are allowed; in the Monthly Competition, all EAs are banned.

Yes, outward only. FundingPips permits copying between your own FundingPips accounts and using a FundingPips account as the master to copy to an external account. Copying into a FundingPips account from any outside source, such as a signal provider or a copier where FundingPips is the follower, is prohibited and treated as third-party account management. FundingPips also runs its own Trade Copier in the dashboard, where only a FundingPips account can be the lead. When connecting a copier, use the read-only investor password.

No VPN or VPS while you access your FundingPips trading account; disable it first. The region of your IP must stay consistent from purchase through the Master Account. You may travel, use several ISPs, and use multiple devices in the same city. If an unrealistic regional change shows up, the Responsible Trading Team contacts you first and may ask for a boarding pass, passport stamp or live video. Switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data in the same area is described as not a concern.

No. FundingPips lists hedging among its forbidden strategies, alongside opposite account trading, and says forbidden strategies lead to immediate account termination. Trading the same direction on your own accounts is fine: FundingPips says copying the same directional strategy across your personal accounts is permitted and is not opposite account trading. What it bans is deliberately opening opposing positions across accounts so one side wins whatever the market does. The page does not define whether different instruments, such as NAS100 against gold, count as a hedge.

It depends on the model and stage. On 1 Step Flex, 2 Step Standard, 2 Step Flex and 2 Step Pro, you may hold trades through news during evaluation, but purposely trading news is prohibited in both evaluation and Master stages. On the Master Account, profits from trades opened or closed from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after restricted high-impact news, or 10 minutes around speeches, may be deducted. Trades opened 5 or more hours earlier are exempt. FundingPips Zero bans news trading entirely. The official source is the dashboard Economic Calendar.

Not under the Striking System on a 2 Step Standard Master Account with the Monthly reward cycle. There, losses on one trade idea are added together, and a trade idea includes two or more new trades opened within 10 minutes of closing a losing trade. A warning comes when closed and floating loss on one idea reaches 1% of the account size. Warnings are cumulative: the second halves the split, the third cuts it to 20%, and the fourth breaches the account. Check your own model page, since the rule is tied to the Monthly cycle.

FundingPips enforces a hard 20-lot limit per click on every trade, and crypto has a separate 1-lot limit per click. On 2 Step Standard, base leverage is 1:100 on forex, 1:30 on metals and 1:20 on indices. Master Accounts also use temporary dynamic leverage on metals, indices and energies: the first 0.05 lots get 1:50, and leverage steps down through 1:30, 1:25, 1:20 and 1:10 until volume above 0.50 lots uses 1:5. Each tier applies only to the volume inside it, so larger positions need more margin.

On 2 Step Standard, the 35% consistency score applies only to the On Demand and Monthly reward cycles. No single trading day may account for more than 35% of total profit; if your best day is above that, reward requests are blocked until the score comes back down. The fix is to keep trading with days smaller than your best day so total profit grows. Weekly and Bi-Weekly cycles are not subject to the 35% rule. On the Monthly cycle you also need 7 profitable days of at least 0.5%.

FundingPips processes reward requests within 1 to 3 working days, excluding weekends, plus 1 to 2 more working days for funds to arrive. Before requesting, close all trades and pending orders and wait at least 15 minutes. Rewards go only to accounts in your own name. KYC comes earlier, as the first step of Master Account setup after you pass: it is automated, usually takes a few minutes, and needs a government ID, a selfie and proof of address. Only one verified account is allowed per trader.
