FundingPips Zero rules: what replaces the evaluation
Zero skips the challenge and replaces it with the strictest rulebook FundingPips sells. Every rule, and which strategies actually fit.
Every Zero rule
Zero is the FundingPips account with no evaluation, priced above the challenges. What replaces the evaluation is the densest rulebook in the lineup; the table lists it in full.
| Rule | Zero |
|---|---|
| Evaluation | none; the account is a Master from day one |
| Maximum loss | 5% trailing on the highest recorded equity, intraday; locks at breakeven once the account is 5% in profit |
| Daily loss | 3% |
| Risk per trade idea | 1% of the account; a breach closes the account |
| Consistency | 15% at every reward: biggest day divided by cycle profit |
| Profitable days | 7 days of at least 0.25% in every 30-day cycle before a reward; biggest loss may not exceed biggest win |
| Safety cushion | the first 3% of profit is not withdrawable |
| News | hard breach: no trading within 10 minutes either side of high-impact releases |
| Overnight and weekend | not allowed on the Master |
| Split and cadence | 95%, every 14 days |
| Leverage | FX 1:50, metals 1:20 (lower than the evaluations) |
| Sizes | up to $200,000 |
| Inactivity | 30 days without a trade is a hard breach, as on every FundingPips account |
What this means for a systematic strategy
Three rules interact. The 1% cap per trade idea is a hard stop the strategy must respect at the order level, not only at the daily level. The 5% trailing limit follows intraday equity, so open profit that is given back moves the floor up and then counts as loss. And the 15% score plus 7 profitable days of 0.25% per 30 days require a strategy that trades nearly every day with similar-sized results: a system that wins twice a month cannot clear the day count, and a system with one large day cannot clear the ratio.
The profile that fits: high-frequency, small per-trade risk (well under 1% including slippage), many small winning days, no positions over news and none overnight. A swing or event-driven strategy belongs on 2 Step Standard or Flex, where the room is 10–12% static and the score can be avoided by choosing the Bi-Weekly cycle.
The score mechanics and reward cycles are covered separately; the full rules card is at FundingPips rules.

No. The account is a Master Account from the first trade, with a 5% trailing maximum loss instead of a static one and a denser set of reward rules.

Can I trade news on FundingPips Zero?
No. Trading within 10 minutes either side of high-impact releases is a hard breach on Zero, unlike the evaluations where news trading is allowed with profit deductions.

1% of the account per trade idea, closed plus floating; a breach closes the account.
