Summer Plan $100K:

The $200,000 Summer 2-Step does not scale; its balance remains fixed at $200,000.

• 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.

Balance-based

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.

Bootcamp and Hyper-Growth: Starts at 50%. It grows up to 100% through scaling
High Stakes and ProGrowth: Starts at 80%. It grows up to 100% through scaling
Summer 1-Step: 75%/25% (fixed across scaling tiers, limited-time)
Summer 2-Step: 80%/20% (fixed, limited-time; the $200K does not scale)

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 Profits cannot be withdrawn and completion rewards may vary.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.

Highest balance or equity recorded at the end of the day (EOD high-watermark).

Daily pause (only Bootcamp): The 3% daily pause applies only to funded accounts. Traders can continue trading the very next day at 00:00 MT5 Server Time.

ProGrowth: 3% daily loss (highest between starting equity or starting balance of the day at MT5 Server Time). No daily pause.

Summer Plan: The EOD calculation uses the higher of balance or equity. Reaching the daily loss limit permanently terminates the account.

• Both $200K accounts total $400K, leaving up to $200K for additional $100K Summer Plan accounts.
• $50K: up to two accounts of each type (1-Step, 2-Step 10/5 and 2-Step 8/5), within the $600,000 cap.

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.

No maximum time limit.

Unlimited

• 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.

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.

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

• Hyper-Growth, ProGrowth and High Stakes: Not mandatory
• Bootcamp: Mandatory. You are not permitted to expose more than 2% of your starting account balance to risk, and the stop-loss must be placed within three minutes of opening any trade.

• 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.

Bootcamp: Risking more than 2% of the account balance in a single position will be considered a risk violation.

If you have multiple Bootcamp accounts, they will need to be traded with different strategies
