Refund
Yes

Full refund if profitable 30 days after funding.

Solo FX: The Dashboard and launch announcement say the fee is refunded after 30 funded days if the account is profitable. Schedule 10A-1 says it is refunded upon approval of the first Reward Payment Request. Finotive's Terms state that the Schedule prevails; confirm with support before purchase.

No

Fees are non-refundable once the account is created and access is granted. If payment is taken but no account is delivered, Fundex reviews the case individually.

Max Drawdown

Static

  • 2-Step Classic: Evaluation uses a 10% static maximum drawdown from the starting balance, measured on equity and reset when Phase 2 begins. Once funded, a 10% drop from the original balance while in B-Book causes a permanent breach.
  • 2-Step Pro: 8% static maximum drawdown.
Profit Split
  • Standard Challenge: 80% (up to 95% scaling)
  • Pro Challenge: 100%
  • Instant Standard: 75% (up to 90%)
  • Instant Lite: 70% (up to 85%)

2-Step Classic starts at a 70% trader profit split. 2-Step Pro starts at 80%. The split applies to eligible A-Book profits generated above the starting balance and after clearing any prior B-Book offset; on 2-Step Pro it is calculated when the payout is requested. Fundex's legal terms state that payments are discretionary bonuses rather than a fixed contractual split.

Free Trial
Yes
Yes

A free $1,000 Test Account is available to eligible traders who do not currently hold a Fundex account. It uses Fundex Terminal only, with a 10% target, 5% daily drawdown, 10% maximum drawdown and 5 minimum trading days. Profits cannot be withdrawn and completion rewards may vary.

Profit After Breach
No data

Evaluation: reaching the daily or total loss threshold causes a breach. Funded: permanent breach follows four consecutive unrecovered B-Book switches, or a 10% decline from the original balance while the account is in B-Book.

Daily Drawdown

Balance-based

Evaluation: 5%, recalculated at 00:00 UTC from the balance at that time and measured on equity. There is no daily loss limit at the funded stage.

Multiple evaluations and accounts are allowed. Total funded allocation is capped at $400,000.

Expert Advisor (EA)
Limited
  • Solo FX: all Expert Advisors and automated execution tools are prohibited
  • Other programmes: pre-purchased or mass-market “plug-and-play” EAs are not allowed
Yes

EAs and automated systems are allowed when the underlying strategy is the trader's own. Arbitrage, HFT, martingale, grid, environment-exploitation and external trade-replication systems are prohibited.

VPN
Limited
  • Solo FX: VPNs, proxies and location masking are prohibited
  • Other programmes: Finotive's Terms prohibit masked or unstable connections when they impair verification of identity, location or account control
No
Hedging
Yes
Limited

Hedging or arbitraging across Fundex accounts, or between Fundex and external accounts, is prohibited. The website does not clarify internal hedging within one account.

Requires Stop Loss
Limited
  • Solo FX: stop loss is not required
  • Other programmes: stop loss is required
No
Scalping
Yes

Solo FX has no specific scalping, rapid-trade-opening, trades-under-60-seconds or HFT restriction. Latency arbitrage and execution abuse remain prohibited.

Limited
  • 2-Step Classic: During evaluation, every trade must remain open for at least 3 minutes, including when TP or SL is triggered. The first violation generates a warning and later violations may cause a breach. There is no minimum holding time once funded.
  • 2-Step Pro: No minimum holding time during evaluation or once funded.
Stacking / Layering (DCA)
No
No
Martingale
No data
No
Maximum Risk Limit
Yes

Floating drawdown is calculated per symbol against the initial account balance.

  • Instant Funding: 1.5%. The first confirmed breach produces a formal warning. From the second confirmed breach onward, each separate event records one strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%.
  • Funded Challenge and Funded Pro: 2%. Each confirmed breach records one strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%.
  • Challenge and Pro evaluation phases: 2%. It is monitored for the progression report but does not trigger a real-time strike or account closure.
  • Solo FX: 2.5% during Simulated Funded Status only. A confirmed breach records one strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%.
Limited

During both evaluation phases, a single trade cannot lose more than 3% of the balance, including floating losses. The first violation generates a warning. This limit does not apply once funded.

Copy Trading
Yes
No
News Trading
Yes

News trading is allowed. For Solo FX, the Dashboard and launch announcement prohibit news straddling, but Schedule 10A-1 disapplies the Terms section that prohibits it. Confirm this contradiction with Finotive before trading news.

Yes
Inactivity Rule

30 days

No data
Consistency Rule
Yes

Pro accounts — from the 31st funded day

  • Weekly trade count and instrument volume must remain within ±25% of the averages recorded during the Pro Challenge and the first 30 funded days.
  • During every rolling 90-day period, realised and unrealised profit, including rewards already paid, must total at least 5% of the initial balance.
  • Breaching either condition downgrades the account to the equivalent standard funded account and permanently removes the Pro benefits.

Instant Funding Standard and Lite

  • At payout, the single most profitable closed trade must contribute less than 60% of total positive realised profit. Requesting a payout while the condition remains active records one Conditional Strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%.

Solo FX

  • No specific consistency rule or single-trade profit dependency.
No
Hold Weekend
Yes

Weekend holding is available through the optional Weekend Holding Add-On on Instant Funding accounts. Without it, all non-crypto positions must be closed before Friday's 17:00 New York market close; Finotive recommends closing at least 10 minutes earlier. Each confirmed breach records one strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%. Five cumulative strikes permanently close the account.

Yes
Prohibited Strategies
  • Excessive notional volume (not applicable to Solo FX; its exposure is governed by 1:33 margin)
  • High-frequency stacking, including correlated instruments (not a Solo FX-specific restriction; latency arbitrage and execution abuse remain prohibited)
  • Martingale or grid strategies
  • News straddling (the Solo FX dashboard and announcement prohibit it, but Schedule 10A-1 disapplies section 7.9; confirm with support)
  • Using ultra-tight stops just to mask oversized lots
  • Latency arbitrage, spike catching and tick manipulation
  • Exploiting errors, price-feed delays or technical malfunctions
  • HFT inconsistent with realistic retail trading
  • Martingale, grid and all-in betting
  • Hedging or arbitrage across accounts or firms
  • Copy trading, replicated signals and self-copy trading
  • Front-running and use of non-public information
  • Market manipulation, order spamming and toxic flow
  • Materially changing strategy after passing the evaluation
  • Gambling behaviour, overleveraging or correlated position stacking
