(b) During the Evaluation Stage and Funded Stage, you must not exceed the maximum daily limit, which is based on a percentage of the starting equity or balance of the day. For this rule, the higher value between equity and balance will be used. You must ensure that the maximum daily loss does not exceed the daily loss limit on any given day. This daily maximum loss will be determined based on the equity or balance at 00:00 CEST/server time and will remain in effect until the next 00:00 CEST/server time.
The limits for the Evaluation and Funded stages are as follows:
- 1-Step Model: 4% maximum daily loss limit.
- 2-Step Model: 5% maximum daily loss limit.
- 2-Step Funded+ Model: 8% maximum trailing daily loss limit.
(d) The Customer must not perform simulated FOREX Trading that violates:
- (i) the operation of the real financial market,
- (ii) the current General Terms and Conditions of FundingPip.
(e) If the Customer fails to comply with the conditions specified in sections 7.a, 7.b, 7.c, and 7.d during the Evaluation Stage, the Evaluation will be marked as “not passed.” In such cases, the Customer’s account and Services will be terminated and cancelled without any refund of fees paid.
(f) If the Customer does not adhere to the conditions outlined in sections 7.a, 7.b, and 7.d during the Funded Stage, the Funded account will be marked as “not passed.” In such cases, the Customer’s account and Services will be terminated and cancelled without any refund of fees paid.
8. Rules of Demo/Simulation Trading
(a) The account cannot be inactive for more than 30 calendar days. Inactivity is defined as no trades being executed on the account.
(b) Profit from trades closed within 2 minutes after opening will not be counted on the Funded account. If such trades result in a breach of the daily loss limit or maximum loss limit, the Customer is responsible for the violation.
(c) Profit from trades opened or closed 5 minutes before and after a high-impact news event on the affected currency will not be counted on the Funded account. This restriction applies to all forms of trade execution, including manual, pending, stop loss, and take profit orders. The prohibited window extends 5 minutes before the news event until 5 minutes after its conclusion. Our system may automatically close trades opened within this 10-minute window. Forex Factory is used as the news calendar source. If such trades result in a breach of the daily loss limit or maximum loss limit, the Customer is responsible for the violation.
Forbidden Trading Practices and Toxic Trading Behaviour
The following trading practices and toxic trading behaviours are prohibited during simulated trading:
- (i) Any trading activity that includes gap trading, high-frequency trading, toxic trading flow, server spamming, latency arbitrage, hedging, long-short arbitrage, reverse arbitrage, tick scalping, server execution, and opposite account trading. Copy trading from a different IP address or account management by a third-party vendor, including the use of a third-party Expert Advisor, will result in account termination. Traders must trade responsibly and apply market-standard risk management rules. This includes avoiding practices such as:
- Opening substantially larger or smaller position sizes compared to other trades.
- Opening an unusually large or small number of positions compared to other trades.
- Purposely trading news events.
- (ii) Excessive Risk-Taking (Over-Leveraging): Engaging in trades with disproportionately high levels of risk relative to the trader’s capital or risk tolerance, often involving excessive leverage, overexposure, or full margin.
- (iii) Gambling Behaviour: Trading driven by emotions rather than rational analysis, similar to gambling. Traders may pursue losses, make impulsive trades, or display addictive tendencies. The largest loss should not exceed 3% of the account size. Splitting up a trade into multiple positions will be counted as one single trade.
- (iv) Overtrading: Continuously entering and exiting trades without a clear strategy or rationale, leading to diminished profitability and emotional exhaustion.
- (v) High-Frequency Trading (HFT): Engaging in excessive and rapid trading activities indicative of higher volatility, which may result in significant losses. Profit from trades closed within 2 minutes after opening will not be counted on Funded accounts. If such trades breach the daily loss limit or maximum loss limit, the trader is responsible for the violation.
- (vi) Arbitrage: All forms of arbitrage are considered toxic. Common strategies include:
- Hedge Arbitrage: Simultaneously entering opposing positions with different firms.
- Latency Arbitrage: Exploiting disparities in trade execution times across various platforms or venues.
- (vii) Poor Money Management: Frequent margin calls due to inadequate funds or risky positions may indicate poor risk management, threatening account stability and potentially the firm’s stability.
- (viii) Behavioural Patterns: Inconsistent trading behaviours, such as trading during non-liquid market hours to exploit liquidity shortages, disregarding risk management principles, or making emotional decisions.
- (ix) Reverse Trading: Risking the full daily loss on one trade, which often indicates reverse trading between different firms.
- (x) Copy trading from a different IP address or account management by a third-party trader, including the use of an Expert Advisor or third-party Expert Advisor, is prohibited.
(f) We may conduct casual risk assessment interviews to ensure no prohibited or suspicious activities are occurring on the account, including identity theft or fraud. This policy allows us to perform periodic risk and compliance assessments of customer accounts to evaluate risk profiles, trading strategies, and behaviours. Assessments can occur monthly, weekly, or daily. During these assessments, we may withhold remuneration until the risk assessment is satisfactorily completed. Users are required to participate in mandatory risk assessment interviews and provide answers to common questions about their trading strategies and behaviours. Failure to comply may result in the withholding of remuneration and termination of services.
(g) If you are suspected of engaging in any forbidden trading practices or toxic trading behaviour mentioned in section 8.e, the Company may consider it a violation of the account. The Company may terminate the contract, stop providing services, deduct trades, implement new restrictions, or decrease leverage on any Customer’s account. The Company reserves the right to determine, at its own discretion, whether certain trades, practices, strategies, or situations are Forbidden Trading Practices and Toxic Trading Behaviours.
(h) If the Customer engages in any practices described in section 8.e, the Company may prevent the Customer from accessing all Services, including the Dashboard and Trading Platforms, without compensation or remuneration. In such cases, the Customer is not entitled to a refund of the fees paid.

- Opening substantially larger or smaller position sizes compared to other trades.
- Opening a substantially different number of positions compared to other trades.
- Purposely trading news events.
