The fee is non-refundable from purchase, even if the account is unused. Technical faults may receive a discretionary non-cash remedy only.
1 and 2 Step: Full refund with first payout
Daily, Weekly or Bi-Weekly, chosen at purchase. First cycle starts at funded activation; later cycles start at the last approved payout. Weekly requires 5 trading days per cycle; Bi-Weekly, 10, adjusted for market holidays. Daily has no fixed minimum but retains consistency. Presets: Standard and Default, Daily; Budget and Easy, Bi-Weekly; Power, Weekly.
- 2-Step Standard: Weekly, Bi-Weekly, Monthly or On Demand
- 2-Step Pro: Weekly or Monthly
- 1 Step Flex and 2-Step Flex: Bi-Weekly or Monthly
- FundingPips Zero: Bi-Weekly
- Prime: Daily, any number of requests
- Labs 247: Daily
No unconditional 24-hour receipt guarantee. The homepage advertises 24 hours; help states average review of 24-48 hours and the agreement targets 1-3 business days, plus 1-5 business days for Rise. No weekend or holiday processing. Compliance reviews may take 30 days; prohibited-practice investigations may last until resolved.
Crypto CFDs trade over weekends. Keeping positions open requires the applicable holding add-ons.
Labs 247: crypto trading and weekend holding are available 24/7 in Evaluation and Master. Other models retain their existing restrictions.
Gross per-request cap: 2% of size on payouts 1 and 2; 2.5% on 3 and 4; 4% on 5. The profit split applies and a 3% buffer must remain. Excess stays in the balance. From 5 total payouts across all accounts, Doji chooses between a Live invitation and ending funded access with a new evaluation.
1-Step: 2% of initial account size. 2-Step: 1%. Verified identity and payment details in your own name. Verified Rise account; users restricted by Rise receive crypto through Confirmo without a Rise account.
- On Demand payout: 1%
- Tuesday, bi-weekly and montly: 1%
- Prime: 1% of Prime Account size (or Scaled Prime Account Size after scaling)
- Labs 247: 1% of the account size

Holding beyond rollover incurs swaps; expiring futures CFDs carry no swap. Triple swap: Wednesday for forex and metals; Friday for indices, energies, treasuries and equities.
No active reset offer is published: after failure, purchase a new evaluation; history does not carry over. The Terms reserve the right to offer resets later.
10% discount for failing during the evaluation phase. Valid for 7 days and only for accounts of the same model and size (FundingPips Zero excluded).
Overnight and weekend holding are paid add-ons. Targets, loss limits and calculation, split, days, consistency and payout frequency can be customised before purchase. Power includes overnight but not weekend holding; other presets include neither.
cTrader (+20%)
Swing: overnight and weekend holding on Master accounts for 1 Step Flex, 2-Step Standard, 2-Step Pro and 2-Step Flex; selected at purchase
Touching the maximum floor permanently closes the account and prevents further payouts. Static references the starting balance; trailing follows peak equity; EOD measures session close. The configurator starts both models on Intraday, while the Rulebook describes Static for 1-Step and trailing for 2-Step. The purchased Dashboard configuration prevails.
- 1 Step Flex, 2 Step: Static
- Zero: Trailing
- Prime: 8% static below the starting balance; recalculated only after a scale-up
- Labs 247: 4% static in Evaluation and Master
Locked at purchase and applied to realised net profit. Above 80% requires Doji Coins under the Rulebook. Each configuration’s percentage is listed in its challenges.
Reward split depends on the selected reward cycle and account configuration.
- 2-Step Standard: Weekly (60%), Bi-Weekly, On Demand (90%) or Monthly (100%)
- 2-Step Pro: Weekly or Monthly (100%)
- 1 Step Flex: Bi-Weekly or Monthly (100%)
- 2-Step Flex: Bi-Weekly, with an alternative 95% split selected at purchase at the same price, or Monthly (100%)
- FundingPips Zero: fixed Bi-Weekly cycle
- Prime: 80%, Daily, any number of requests
- Labs 247: Daily
The Monthly cycle requires consistency and profitable days. Earlier purchases retain their legacy conditions.
Touching the daily limit closes positions and pauses trading without ending the account. EOD is checked at session close and blocks the following session; Intraday monitors floating equity. Static may lift its floor after a breach. The Rulebook and agreement use 17:00 New York; help says fixed 21:00 UTC and the blog says 00:00 UTC. Confirm timing and Static reactivation in the Dashboard.
Higher of the opening balance or equity for the trading day
- Prime: 3% (soft breach, pauses trading for the rest of the day, account stays open, resumes at 00:00 UTC+3)
- Labs 247: 2% of the starting balance in Evaluation and Master

Configurable evaluation: 1-Step, 3-10; 2-Step, 5-20 total, split 60/40. Initial configuration: 5 and 6+4 respectively. Standard/Budget/Power presets: 5 total; Easy: 7, subject to configurator normalisation. Funded Weekly and Bi-Weekly have their own fixed cycle minimums.

A Master account can only be merged with another Master account from the same evaluation model.
Merging accounts is not supported in the FundingPips Zero Model.
