Account scaling
Yes
  • Lightning, Nexus and Dual Step: Traders become eligible after reaching a minimum profit of 10% within three months, equivalent to an average monthly gain of around 3.33%. Each approved phase increases the original demo account balance by 20%, up to $1 million on MetaTrader 5 or $1.5 million on ThinkTrader. Assessments take place every three months and require three payouts during each cycle.
  • Bolt: Reach 10% total profit across four payouts within two months. Each approved scaling phase increases the account balance by 25%, up to $500,000.

Max Drawdown
  • Lightning: 6% trailing, locks at initial balance once it grows by 6%
  • Bolt: 6% trailing equity, locks at initial balance after the first payout
  • Dual Step Intraday: 7% static
  • Dual Step Swing: 7% static
  • Nexus: 8% 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: 80%
  • With add-on (+25%): 90%
  • Bolt: 90% with scaling

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.
