FundingPips rules 2026: drawdown, payout, news

Preflight Rule-Risk Score
25/100 · tighter rules score higher. 6 of 6 scored. Method
- Drawdown mechanics 0 / 25
Static 10% / $10,000. Floor $90,000. Touch or below is a breach. Scored 0.
- Starting loss cushion 0 / 20
Starting allowance 10%. Scored 0.
- Daily limit 5 / 15
5% of the higher of opening balance and opening equity. Initial example $5,000, not a fixed later amount. Platform midnight is 00:00 SAST in winter and 23:00 SAST the previous day in summer. Scored 5. Not described as a soft pause.
- News execution 15 / 15
Funded window generally 5 minutes before and after, and until 5 minutes after a speech. Profit can be deducted unless the trade was opened at least 5 hours earlier. Scored 15 for the execution window. Evaluation has no mechanical restriction and still prohibits purposeful news trading.
- Profit distribution 0 / 15
None (verified) for weekly and bi-weekly. Scored 0. The 35% rule is on-demand only.
- Payout gates 5 / 10
Bi-weekly at 80%, with a minimum request of 1% of nominal including the firm split. Scored 5 for that threshold. The 80% split is not a retention buffer, and the split percentage is not a score input.

Preflight Rule-Risk Score
40/100 · tighter rules score higher. 6 of 6 scored. Method
- Drawdown mechanics 0 / 25
Static 10% / $10,000. Floor $90,000. Scored 0.
- Starting loss cushion 0 / 20
Starting allowance 10%. Scored 0.

- News execution 15 / 15
Same funded execution window. Scored 15.
- Profit distribution 15 / 15
35% consistency on the on-demand path. Scored 15 because 35% is tighter than 40%.
- Payout gates 5 / 10
On-demand, conditional 100% share, seven profitable days of at least 0.5%, plus the 1% minimum request. Scored 5 for those gates. The 35% rule is the distribution component, not a second gate score. The striking system is an account-closure rule and is not added again here.
Notes, changes, open questions
Loss floor
Worked example. Static 10% puts the floor at $90,000. Touching that floor, or going through it, is a breach.
The static floor is not the daily rule. See the daily reset. A 3% daily variant exists and is not these rows.
Daily reset
Default daily loss is 5% of the higher of the opening balance and the opening equity. On day one of a USD 100,000 account the example is $5,000. Later days follow the higher opening figure. It is not a fixed $5,000 every day.
Reset is platform midnight. In winter that is 00:00 SAST. In summer it is 23:00 SAST on the previous calendar day. The source describes this as UTC+2 and UTC+3.
News
Both of these statements are on the checked pages. Neither one cancels the other.
Evaluation: no mechanical news restriction is stated. Purposeful news trading is still prohibited in the evaluation and on the master account.
Funded window: generally 5 minutes before and after an event, and until 5 minutes after a speech ends. Profit can be deducted unless the trade was opened at least 5 hours earlier. A deduction can itself push the account through a loss limit.
Rules
- Programme
- 2-Step Standard, default 5% daily loss, USD 100,000. The 3% daily add-on is a different variant and removes the minimum-day rule.
- Targets
- 8% then 5%. Three trading days in each phase on this default.
- Maximum loss
- Static 10% / $10,000. Floor $90,000. Touch or below is a breach.
- Consistency
- None (verified) on weekly and bi-weekly. 35% only on on-demand.
- Shares
- Weekly 60%. Bi-weekly 80%. On-demand 100%, conditional. The score does not use the split percentage. The minimum request is 1% of nominal, including the firm split ($1,000 gross at USD 100,000).
- Holding
- Master accounts cannot hold overnight or over the weekend unless the Swing add-on is on. Auto-close is not itself a breach.
- Inactivity
- 30 days is a hard breach. Open trades alone do not count as activity.
Watch-outs
- The daily dollar amount moves. A higher opening balance or equity raises the 5% figure, and a lower one cuts it. Sizing off a fixed $5,000 after day one is the mistake.
- On-demand is a different contract: 35% consistency, seven profitable days of at least 0.5% each, and a cumulative 1% trade-idea striking system that closes the account on the fourth warning.
- News is not 'allowed' in a way you can trade through a print. The funded window restricts execution, and a profit deduction can become the breach.
- Weekly and bi-weekly tie on the Rule-Risk Score because the rubric ignores the split percentage. Weekly pays 60%. Bi-weekly pays 80%. That difference is real and it is not in the number.
Changes
Before / after Phase 1 target. The 10% phase-1 target ceased on 24 July 2026 at 06:00 SAST. Legacy 10% Standard resets become 2-Step Flex at 85%.
Still open
- South African KYC against the broader sanctions and FATF wording. Absence from the Iran, Vietnam, and UAE lines is not a personal approval.
