• 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.
• 1-Step Classic: Static evaluation drawdown based on starting balance and measured on equity, including open positions.

1-Step and 2-Step use static drawdown from starting capital. Instant PineX and Instant Elite trail new highs; PineX resets after a payout and Elite does not.

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.
1-Step Classic: the trader profit split is shown in each challenge and is calculated when the payout is requested.

80% by default. Up to 100% through an add-on on 1-Step, 2-Step and Instant PineX. Instant Elite remains at 80%.

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 Profits cannot be withdrawn and completion rewards may vary.

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.

Evaluation: the daily loss limit is recalculated at 00:00 UTC from the balance at that time and measured on equity, including open positions. The applicable percentage is shown in each challenge. There is no daily loss limit at the funded stage.

1-Step and 2-Step keep a static daily limit. On Instant PineX and Instant Elite, the limit trails the daily balance/equity high.

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

Multiple accounts are allowed. Eligible traders may combine them up to USD 600,000 in active allocation.

Funded accounts can be merged provided their combined balance does not exceed the $400,000 maximum allocation.

Eligible accounts may be combined up to USD 600,000. Instant accounts cannot be combined with Direct Funding.

No maximum time limit.

No time limit.

• 2-Step Classic: 5 days in each evaluation phase. To count, at least one trade must be opened with a notional value of at least 5% of the account balance before leverage.
• 2-Step Pro: No minimum trading days.
• 1-Step Classic: 5 evaluation trading days. A day counts only if at least one trade has a notional size of at least 5% of the account balance before leverage.

1-Step: 3 evaluation days and 4 profitable days of at least 0.5% for payout. 2-Step: none in evaluation and 4 on the PineX Account. Instant PineX: 5 days of at least 0.5%. Instant Elite: 6 days of at least 0.5%.

PineX Points: 1 point per euro spent, redeemable for accounts, add-ons, discounts and rewards.

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.

EAs, bots, scripts and tools that automatically open, close or manage trades are not allowed.

The firm expressly discourages VPN or VPS use and prohibits sharing devices or access credentials.

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

A stop loss is not mandatory, but exposure above 10 times the starting capital with more than 50% of trades lacking an SL may be treated as abuse.

• 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.
• 1-Step Classic: Every evaluation trade must remain open for at least 3 minutes, including TP/SL closures. The first violation generates a warning; repeated violations cause a breach. No minimum holding time once funded.

Scalping is allowed, but Quick Strike/HFT, extremely short holding times and mass order activity are prohibited.

A maximum of two simultaneous open positions in the same market and direction within one trade idea.

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.
1-Step Classic: Position exposure is measured as notional value relative to equity. Per position, up to 25% is compliant, over 25% through 40% generates a warning, and above 40% is a violation subject to review. Total simultaneous exposure during evaluation: up to 50% is compliant, over 50% through 80% generates a warning, and above 80% is a violation. Once funded, total exposure above 60% is a violation.

Instant PineX: maximum 2% of starting capital per trade idea. Instant Elite: maximum 1% floating loss. No fixed per-trade percentage applies on 1-Step or 2-Step, but the general excessive-risk rules still apply.

Mirroring, third-party executed signals and copying between accounts are prohibited.

Positions on the affected instrument cannot be opened or closed during the 5 minutes before and after red-folder news. Automatic SL or TP closures also count.

Instant PineX applies a 20% rule: the best day must represent less than 20% of the period's profit. 1-Step, 2-Step and Instant Elite have no consistency rule.

Allowed on Instant PineX and Instant Elite. Not allowed on 1-Step or 2-Step.
