FundingPips

General Company Information

FundingPips is a trading prop firm founded in November 2022, based in Dubai. Although it holds an international brokerage license, the firm does not offer real accounts, operating solely with simulated environments (demo accounts). To date, it has over 1.5 million clients in more than 195 countries and has distributed rewards of over $145 million to its traders. Its main programs and features are described in detail below.

Plans and Programs

• Zero (Instant): Direct access to the Master account without prior evaluation. Ideal for experienced traders who want immediate capital. There is no fixed profit target (trading is done directly on the funded account). A maximum loss limit of 5% and a daily limit of 3% of the initial balance apply.

• 1-Step Model: One-step evaluation. Traders must achieve a 10% profit target with at least 3 trading days, complying with all risk rules. Once the goal is reached, the Master account is enabled. The maximum allowed drawdown is 6% and the daily drawdown is 3% of the higher value between equity or balance.

• FundingPips (2-Step): Two-phase evaluation (Student and Practitioner). In the first phase, the trader can opt for targets of 8% or 10% (both with a minimum of 3 trading days). In the second phase (Practitioner), the target is 5% with at least 3 trading days. After passing both phases, access is granted to the Master account. The total maximum drawdown is 10% and the daily drawdown is 5%.

• FundingPips Pro (2-Step Pro): Two-phase evaluation with lower targets. In each phase (Student and Practitioner), the target is 6%, with a minimum of 1 trading day per phase. The maximum allowed drawdown is 6% and the daily drawdown is 3%. A daily rewards cycle (Daily Rewards) is optionally offered, which involves meeting an additional consistency requirement of 35% in the evaluation phases.

Each plan allows choosing between account sizes of $5,000, $10,000, $25,000, $50,000, and $100,000. The characteristics of each account size according to the plan are summarized in the tables below:

Trading Rules

FundingPips applies risk and behavior rules that traders must respect on all accounts:

• Loss Limits: Depending on the chosen plan, the maximum allowed drawdown ranges from 5% to 10% of the initial capital (see tables above). Additionally, there is a daily loss limit of 3% or 5% depending on the plan. Exceeding any of these limits results in the immediate closure of the account (hard breach).

• Per-Trade Limit: On the Master account (funded), no more than 3% of the capital must be lost in a single trade (including accumulated positions under the same trading idea).

• Minimum Trading Days: To complete the evaluation phases, trading for a minimum number of days is required. For example, standard programs require at least 3 trading days per phase, while the Pro plan only requires a minimum of 1 day per phase.

• Consistency: In the Zero plan, a consistency score of 15% is required: the maximum profit in one day cannot exceed 15% of the total earnings. In plans with daily rewards, additional consistency rules are added (e.g., 35% in 2-Step Pro with a daily cycle).

• Allowed Strategies: There are no special restrictions on trading style: trading during news events and weekends is allowed, as well as scalping.

• Inactivity: The account will be closed if at least one trade is not opened and closed within 30 consecutive days.

Deposits and Withdrawals

FundingPips operates under a simulated prop trading model, so there are no deposits into the trading account. Traders only pay the evaluation fee (challenge fee) using instant payment methods like card, cryptocurrencies, or bank transfer. Once funded, profit withdrawals are processed via bank transfer or cryptocurrency in a short timeframe (from instant up to 24 hours after approval), with a fixed fee of $10 being applied.

Tradable Instruments

The FundingPips platform allows trading a wide variety of financial assets via CFDs on:

• Forex (currency pairs).
• Stock indices.
• Commodities and energies (e.g., oil).
• Precious metals (e.g., gold, silver).
• Cryptocurrencies (major ones like BTC, ETH).

All these asset classes are offered with raw spreads (very low). CFDs on indices and oil do not carry additional commissions, while a variable commission is applied to currencies, metals, and cryptos depending on the account model. The maximum leverage is 1:100 and may vary depending on the instrument and account type.

Restricted Countries

FundingPips does not accept clients residing in certain restricted jurisdictions. Specifically, it does not offer its services to residents of: the United States, Iran, Israel, Vietnam, the United Arab Emirates, and other countries included in international sanctions lists.
