Trading Rules for FunderPro
Welcome to the definitive guide on prop firm trading rules for FunderPro. Whether you’re in the evaluation phase or trading on a funded account, these proprietary trading firm rules will help you understand how to stay compliant, manage risk, and scale your capital responsibly.
What profit target must I hit to pass the evaluation?
To pass your Evaluation Program, you must reach the predefined profit target (calculated in percentage on your initial balance) while flat on all positions. This means that you profits need to be realized profits, not floating profits (i.e. the profit is calculated on balance, not on equity).
Once you achieve this target within the allotted evaluation rules, you’ll unlock either the next challenge phase or your funded account. For full details, see our Evaluation Program page.
Profit Targets for Regular Challenge
- Phase 1: 10%
- Phase 2: 8%
Examples of Profit Target:
- To pass a Phase 1 of a $100k Regular Challenge, you need $10k in realized profits
- To pass a Phase 2 of a $200k Regular Challenge, you need $16k in realized profits
What are the daily and maximum drawdown limits?
Daily Drawdown:
You cannot lose more than a fixed percentage of your account equity in a single trading day (percentage changes based on the account and is calculated on end of day’s equity for Regular accounts). The snapshot that calculates and resets the Daily Drawdown is taken at 5pm EST.
Maximum Drawdown:
Across the lifetime of your account, you cannot let your equity fall below a fixed percentage of your initial balance.
Exceeding either limit results in account closure under both our challenge and funded trader rules.
Max and Daily Drawdown Regular Challenge
- Max DD: 10% for both Phase 1 and Phase 2
- Daily DD: 5% for both Phase 1 and Phase 2
Examples of Max and Daily Drawdown:
- On a Regular $100k Challenge your maximum allowed drawdown will always be $10k
- On a Regular $50k Challenge, if you end your day at $51k equity your allowed daily drawdown the next day will be $2,550
How many trading days do I need to complete?
Our evaluation rules don’t require a minimum number of unique trading days to hit your profit target. However, you need to trade for the minimum number of days required to fulfil the Consistency Rule.
For example, on Regular accounts, the consistency rule is 45%, so you need to trade a minimum of 3 trading days to pass each of the phases.
Learn more about the consistency rule in the dedicated article.
Are overnight or weekend positions allowed?
You may hold positions overnight on your Regular Challenge accounts, but all positions must be closed before the weekend (by Friday market close).
Weekend carry costs and gap risk make holding through the weekend a violation of our proprietary trading firm rules.
Is news trading permitted?
On Regular accounts, news trading in FunderPro is allowed during the Challenge. If you have a Regular Funded Account, news trading is restricted only for a selected number of news releases that can be found on the Economic Calendar page.
You must close all your open positions on the affected assets and cannot open any trades 2 minutes before the news release and until 2 minutes after the restricted news event (applies only to Regular Funded Accounts).
Is high-frequency trading permitted?
High-Frequency Trading (HFT): Permitted provided it does not exploit system latency or external data-feed discrepancies.
How much margin am I allowed to use on a single trade/idea?
You should treat any account provided by FunderPro as if it were your own live trading account, applying a clear strategy and prioritizing long-term consistency. All cases are reviewed individually by our risk team and as a general guideline, we suggest using no more than 30% of your account margin on a single trade idea.
A trade idea is a trade or multiple correlated trades executed in a certain direction (buy or sell). For example, if you have only one trade open, it’s one trade idea, but if you have two trades open in the same direction in highly correlated assets (e.g. two USD pairs), that also counts as just one trade idea.
Practical examples:
- You have one trade open and are using more than 30% margin. This is against the rules.
- You have two trades open, one in EURUSD and one in GBPUSD, each using 20% margin. As they are highly correlated assets, this is considered one trade idea using 40% margin. This is against the rules.
Is copy trading allowed?
You can copy trades from accounts that you own and on which you use your own trade ideas and strategies.
Copy trading accounts owned by other people is strictly prohibited and constitutes a hard breach.
What constitutes a violation of the trading rules?
- Breaching daily or maximum drawdown limits.
- Using high-risk strategies that use 30% or more of the account’s margin.
- Copy-trading from external accounts that you don’t own.
- Colluding with others—or across multiple linked accounts—to generate fake volume or opposing positions.
- Exploit system inefficiencies by using HFT or AI bot strategies. Note that when trading normally, there is no minimum holding time that would result in violation.
- Overleveraging, reckless account rolling, or using lot-sizing tricks to bypass drawdown controls.
- Engaging in latency arbitrage, hedge arbitrage, scalping arbitrage, or similar “gap-exploitation” tactics.
- Holding positions solely to profit from weekend/overnight gaps.
- Replicating trades across accounts or using third-party Expert Advisors without owning the source code.
- Flooding the market with tiny-pip trades or unrealistic trade counts to inflate profitability.
- Any behavior during the challenge that signals irresponsible or excessively risky trading, leading to disqualification.
All the above rules are also listed in our Terms and Conditions for full details.
Any confirmed violation will result in immediate account termination. For appeals or questions, please Contact Support.
How does the consistency rule work?
To promote disciplined trading, on Regular accounts you cannot make more than 45% of your profit target in a single day. For example, if your goal is $10,000, you may only realize up to $4,500 in profits per day. Exceeding this adds the excess to your target rather than speeding completion.
If you meet all challenge requirements except the consistency percentage, you will not fail your challenge. You can keep trading profitably until you lower the consistency percentage to the correct value.
Practical example:
You have a $100k Regular Account in Phase 1. Your profit target is $10,000 and the consistency rule is 45%, this means that you should not profit more than $4,500 in one day.
- You make $1,000 on your first day
- You make $3,000 on your second day
- You make $6,000 on your third day
You have reached your profit target, but your best day of $6,000 is 60% of your total profits (not 45%), so you need to keep trading:
- Your new objective is to reach a total profit of $13,333.34 (so make about $3.35k more) without earning more than $6,000 in a single day. This is because $6,000 is 45% of $13,333.34.
If you do this, you will pass to phase 2.
Can I hold multiple funded accounts?
Yes, FunderPro allows up to $200k of total funded accounts.
What is the Inactivity Rule?
If you do not place at least one trade within a 30-day period, your account will be closed, and your challenge will be failed.
Violations & Penalties
Depending on the severity of your violation, your account is automatically closed or you may be issued a warning. If you have questions on any specific violations, please Contact Support via the dedicated page.

How does the consistency rule work?
To promote disciplined trading, on One Phase accounts you cannot make more than 15% of your profit target in a single day. For example, if your goal is $10,000, you may only realize up to $1,500 in profits per day. Exceeding this adds the excess to your target rather than speeding completion.
If you meet all challenge requirements except the consistency percentage, you will not fail your challenge. You can keep trading profitably until you lower the consistency percentage to the correct value.
Practical example:
You have a $100k One Phase Account in Phase 1. Your profit target is $14,000 and the consistency rule is 15%, this means that you should not profit more than $2,100 in one day.
- You make $1,000 on your first day
- You make $2,000 on your second day
- You make $1,500 on your third day
- You make $2,000 on your fourth day
- You make $1,000 on your fifth day
- You make $2,000 on your sixth day
- You make $1,000 on your seventh day
- You make $3,500 on your eight day
You have reached your profit target, but your best day of $3,500 is 25% of your total profits (not 15%), so you need to keep trading:
- Your new objective is to reach a total profit of $23,333.34 (so make about $9.35k more) without earning more than $3,500 in a single day. This is because $3,500 is 15% of $23,333.34
If you do this, you will get your Funded Account.
Can I hold multiple funded accounts?
Yes, FunderPro allows up to $200k of total funded accounts.
