• 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.

Rapid: 4% trailing. 1-Step Pro: 6% trailing. Ascend: 8% static. Instant Funding (original): 6% trailing.

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.

85% base split, with the possibility of reaching 100% through the scaling program. Rapid and Ascend allow an early payout with a 40% split.

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 Profits cannot be withdrawn and completion rewards may vary.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.

Rapid and Instant Funding (original): 3%. 1-Step Pro: no daily limit. Ascend: 4%.

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

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

Funded accounts from the same evaluation type can be merged when both remain at their initial balance, have no open trades and their combined capital does not exceed $500,000. Instant Funding (original) accounts cannot be merged.

No maximum time limit.

No time limit.

• 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.

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.

Maximum floating loss: 2% on Rapid, Ascend and Instant Funding (original); $300K and $400K Instant Funding (original) accounts have a 1% limit. 1-Step Pro has a 1% limit, with a warning and split reduction to 40% on the first violation and closure on the second.

Copying trades, manually or through software, between the trader's own accounts or from external traders or signal providers is prohibited.
