The rules that decide whether a Funding Pips account passes, stays funded or breaches. Several of them apply only once the account is funded, and the Instant (Zero) account is stricter than the rest.
Checked against Funding Pips on 29 July 2026
Account Type
News trading is unrestricted during evaluation on the paid models, but on a funded account a trade opened or closed within 5 minutes of a high impact release has its profit removed, unless it was opened at least 5 hours before the event. On Instant (Zero), holding through news is not allowed at all and breaches the account.
Weekend holding is allowed during evaluation. On funded accounts positions are closed automatically at Friday close, which is not treated as a breach. On Instant (Zero), leaving a position open into the weekend terminates the account.
Automated trading is allowed only where you own the strategy. Third party tools are permitted purely as trade or risk managers. Full automation with a personal expert advisor requires proof of ownership, and a compiled file on its own is not accepted as proof.
Hedging is prohibited, and so is copying trades in from an external source or between accounts owned by different people. Copying between your own accounts is allowed.
During evaluation on the paid models there are no restrictions on holding through news, though deliberately trading the news is prohibited. On funded accounts, opening or closing within 5 minutes of a high impact release removes the profit from that trade unless it was opened 5 hours or more beforehand. On Instant (Zero), news holding is banned outright.
Yes during evaluation. On a funded account all trades are closed automatically at Friday close, which is not a breach. On Instant (Zero), any position left open into the weekend terminates the account.
Third party tools are allowed only as trade or risk managers. Fully automated trading is allowed with a personal expert advisor if you can prove you own it, through source code, version history or explaining the logic on a call. A compiled file alone is not proof.
No. Hedging is prohibited, along with latency arbitrage and long short arbitrage. Coordinated hedging between accounts to guarantee one side is specifically called out.
On the paid models, a single trade idea producing more than 60% of the profit target requires four profitable days of at least 0.5% before a payout. On Instant (Zero), the largest winning day must stay below 15% of total profit.
Exceeding a loss limit, breaking the risk per trade idea rule, 30 day inactivity, or an Instant (Zero) weekend or news violation all close the account immediately. News violations on other funded accounts and consistency failures remove profit instead of closing the account.
