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 Champion portfolio — Hook NAS · Anchor NAS · Reject XAU · Trace XAU. It is sized so the loss floor is respected under FundingPips's static balance-based drawdown, and over the 12-month sample it produced a profit factor of 2.38 with a max drawdown of $3,326.
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.

The match
Forex Champion — composition
Sizing: Hook NAS 6 lot + Anchor NAS 18 lot + Reject XAU 0.15 lot + Trace XAU 0.30 lot. Each leg is a deterministic rule-based strategy with hard-coded entries, targets and drawdown limits.
Why it fits FundingPips
Position sizing keeps peak simulated drawdown at 33.3% of the firm's hard drawdown allowance — a deliberate buffer against the static balance-based drawdown, not a coincidence of backtest luck.

The alternative
Forex Focus
If you want a more defensive tilt, the Forex Focus portfolio is the other defensible pick at this firm — trading a higher annual blow rate (0.8% vs 0.27%) for a lower median net. Honest trade-off: more upside means more variance against the firm's floor.
