Fee refunded with the third approved payout on the same funded account, except Ultra and Instant. The terms exclude both from refunds. Other models have a 24-hour refund window before trading. The Static Fee Refund add-on appears in the terms but is absent from the reviewed catalogue.

1 and 2 Step: Full refund with first payout

Up to 3.5% processing fee where disclosed. The FAQ attributes it to methods other than Rise; provider and currency-conversion fees may also apply.

$10

The website and checkout add-ons state 21 days for the first withdrawal. The terms then specify 10 calendar days for 1-Step, 2-Step Trailing and 3-Step; 10 business days for Static; 14 calendar days for Ultra and Instant. The latter intervals run from the previous payment. All funded accounts require 15 completed trades per cycle.

• 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 (existing accounts only): Daily, any number of requests

Holding through market closures is allowed during evaluation, but not on funded or Instant accounts.

Labs 247: crypto trading and weekend holding are available 24/7 in Evaluation and Master. Other models retain their existing restrictions.

Profit above the per-cycle cap is forfeited, except on 2-Step Static, where it carries forward. Free, giveaway and prize accounts: eligible profit capped at 1% of initial balance per calendar month under clause 4.7, although the FAQ still states 2% per interval.

• Labs 003 Infinity: no daily reward-request cap

The terms conflict: the table lists USD 200 for 1-Step, 2-Step Trailing and 3-Step; USD 100 for Static and Ultra; none for Instant. Clause 4.4 states USD 100 generally except Instant, while the FAQ states USD 200. Confirm the plan-specific amount in the dashboard.

• On Demand payout: 1%
• Tuesday, bi-weekly and montly: 1%
• Prime (existing accounts only): 1% of Prime Account size (or Scaled Prime Account Size after scaling)

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

The FAQ mentions at least 12 profitable cycles and the possibility of another same-size account after +50% funded performance. Black is invitation-only with custom terms, not guaranteed scaling.

Level 1 - Launchpad (Novice)

Requires 4 payouts and 10% profit. Grants +20% capital and +1% drawdown.

Level 2 - Ascender (Intermediate)

Requires 8 payouts and 20% profit. Grants +30% capital, +2% total max drawdown, and +1% daily drawdown.

Level 3 - Trailblazer (Advanced)

Requires 12 payouts and 30% profit. Grants +40% capital and 13% max drawdown.

Level 4 - Hot Seat (Elite)

Required profitable days: none for the first scale-up, 2 for the second and third, 4 for the fourth, and 10 from the fifth onward. Each profitable day must close at +1% or more of the account size; the counter resets after each scale-up. Each scale-up adds +10% to the current level's starting size, up to $2M. At Level 10 or $2M: Certified FundingPips Trader status, listed on the Tradin Investor Marketplace with 20% profit share on investor capital.

Trailing against peak equity; under the terms, it stops rising when the floor reaches 96% of initial balance. Static keeps a fixed floor from activation. Free and prize accounts always use trailing, even when the base model is Static.

• 1 Step Flex, 2 Step: Static
• Zero: Trailing
• Prime (existing accounts only): 8% static below the starting balance; recalculated only after a scale-up
• Labs 247: 4% static in Evaluation and Master
• Labs 003 Infinity: static in Evaluation and Master; never trails

Static takes the higher of balance and equity at 00:00 server time and fixes that reference for the day. Other models have a discrepancy: the FAQ uses that daily reference, but the terms describe trailing against peak equity. Instant has no daily limit. Losses include floating P&L, charges and swaps.

Higher of the opening balance or equity for the trading day

• Prime (existing accounts only): 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
• Labs 003 Infinity: fixed daily loss allowance based on starting balance, in Evaluation and Master

No limit on concurrent challenges under one personal profile, subject to the combined funded allocation limit. Checkout limits each purchase to ten units per variant.

Labs 247: maximum 5 accounts per user. These accounts are separate from the standard capital allocation.
Labs 003 Infinity: maximum 3 accounts per user, outside standard allocation caps.

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.

• Prime (existing accounts only): any Prime accounts can merge, regardless of the originating model. Request through the dashboard; the resulting account takes the higher of the two scale-up levels. Merged size respects the $2M maximum.

No maximum time to pass phases; the inactivity rule still applies.

Labs 247: 6 months for the Evaluation phase and a separate 6-month period for the Master account.
Labs 003 Infinity: separate 6-month windows for Evaluation and Master.

Evaluation according to checkout: 1-Step, 2 days; Trailing, 2 and 3; Static, 4 and 4; 3-Step, 2 per phase; Ultra, no minimum configured. The terms still state 10 evaluation days for Ultra. Ultra and Instant funded require 10 trading days before the first payout. Static counts days with at least one 0.01-lot trade opened and closed.

New purchases and resets from 28 September 2026:

• 2-Step Standard: 3 trading days per evaluation phase; no minimum with the 3% daily-loss configuration
• 2-Step Pro: no minimum trading days
• 1 Step Flex: no minimum trading days
• 2-Step Flex: 1 trading day per phase on the standard reward configuration; the alternative configuration requires profitable days
• Labs 247: no minimum trading days
  Earlier purchases retain their legacy conditions.

FV Points: 1 point per net USD spent, with possible extras for phases, referrals and verified actions. Redeemable for discounts, challenges or merchandise; personal with no cash value. Points expire after 12 months and challenge vouchers after 90 days. Refunds reverse points and profile termination forfeits them; failing a challenge does not.

Terms: Ultra and Instant require 3 days per cycle with at least +0.2% of starting daily equity. Static requires 5 days with at least +0.1%. The FAQ publishes different thresholds. Once eligibility is met, profit from days below the threshold also counts.

Zero: Minimum of 7 days with 0.25% profit or more by the end of each 30-day period. Failure to meet this requirement will result in a rule violation.

• Monthly reward cycle (1 Step Flex, 2-Step Standard, 2-Step Pro, 2-Step Flex): 7 profitable days per cycle, each with at least 0.5% of the starting Master account size; the count resets after each reward
• 2-Step Flex alternative reward configuration: 3 profitable days per evaluation phase and per Bi-Weekly Master reward cycle, each with at least 0.5% of the starting account size

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 (existing accounts only): 80%, Daily, any number of requests
• Labs 247: Daily

The Monthly cycle requires consistency and profitable days. Earlier purchases retain their legacy conditions.

The terms permit automation on 1-Step, Trailing, Static and 3-Step, and only during Ultra evaluation; it is prohibited on Ultra funded and Instant. The FAQ requires an EA add-on absent from the reviewed catalogue. The Risk Desk may request files and logic within five business days.

Account-type exceptions

• 1K Instant Account: third-party EAs and trade copiers permitted (full automation OK).
• Monthly Competition: ALL EAs prohibited (including personal with proof).

Paid VPN with prior notice to support; restricted-country IPs and identity evasion are prohibited. The FAQ prohibits VPS for manual trading and ties automated VPS use to an EA add-on.

Allowed within one account, subject to the two-position limit per asset. Prohibited across own accounts, other traders or other firms.

Instant requires a stop-loss on every position within 60 seconds. For risk calculations on other plans, positions without SL are assessed as if stopped at the drawdown floor.

Terms: profits from trades held under 4 minutes are excluded, except on Static. Static has no evaluation minimum; funded profits from trades under 2 minutes are excluded if they exceed 30% of cycle profit. The FAQ states 180 seconds, or 30 with an add-on absent from the sale catalogue.

Risk Per Trade Idea and the Striking System are removed in Evaluation and Master for new purchases from 28 September 2026. Earlier purchases retain their legacy conditions.

Sources conflict: the FAQ allows copying own accounts and the general terms prohibit it without written permission. CFD terms allow the same strategy on own accounts only in the same direction with aggregate per-asset risk up to 2%. Instant prohibits correlation across its accounts. Obtain written approval before using a copier.

Conflicting sources: the inactivity article states suspension after 60 days without trading; another states 30. The terms also suspend accounts not activated within 30 days. Confirm the applicable period before leaving an account idle.

30 consecutive days without completed trades results in hard breach. Applies to all account types including Master accounts.

Funded checkout: 40% on 1-Step, Trailing, Static and 3-Step; 25% on Ultra and Pay Later; 20% on Instant. It limits the best day contribution to total profit.

1 Step Flex, 2-Step Standard, 2-Step Pro and 2-Step Flex
Evaluation: overnight and weekend holding allowed on all instruments.
Master: overnight and weekend holding require the Swing add-on selected at purchase. Without Swing, positions are automatically closed each trading day; this is not an account breach and does not count as a valid trading day.
