The best Puravida Edge strategy for the FundingPips challenge
FundingPips runs on static balance-based drawdown. This page matches that rule set to the Puravida Edge portfolio built to live inside it — and shows the simulated outcome distribution, honestly, including the alternative.
The 10-second answer
For the FundingPips challenge, run the Forex Prop Champion portfolio — Hook NAS · Anchor NAS · Reject XAU · Trace XAU. It is sized so the loss floor is respected under the firm’s drawdown rule; over the 12-month backtest it produced a profit factor of 3.49 with a max drawdown of $3,062, and it is tracked live since April 2026.
What actually kills traders at FundingPips
FundingPips uses static, balance-based drawdown on most plans — the floor does not move with profit — with no time limit and no consistency rule during evaluation. The 2-Step gives the most room; the 1-Step is tighter.
Unlike several respected competitors, FundingPips explicitly permits automated trading, and metals plus indices are tradable — a natural forex home for this XAU-and-index book.

Why it fits FundingPips
Position sizing keeps peak simulated drawdown at 30.6% of the firm's hard drawdown allowance — a deliberate buffer against the static balance-based drawdown, not a coincidence of backtest luck.
