Restricted

Trades may be held through news. On Master accounts, profit from trades opened or closed within 5 minutes before or after a restricted release, or from 5 minutes before a restricted speech until 5 minutes after it ends, can be deducted, unless the trade was opened at least 5 hours earlier. Deliberately trading news is prohibited, and FundingPips Zero bans opening, closing or holding trades around restricted news.

Restricted

News trading is allowed during the Stellar 2-Step challenge. On the funded account, only 40% of profit made within five minutes either side of a listed high-impact release is counted. FundedNext's futures accounts have no news trading restriction.

Restricted

Third-party EAs may be used only as trade or risk managers. An EA you built yourself may trade fully automated if you can prove ownership, for example with its source code.

Restricted

On CFD accounts, EAs and bots are allowed only on MT4 and MT5 accounts below $50,000, with a paid EA add-on. Accounts of $50,000 and above, and all cTrader and Match-Trader accounts, must be traded manually. Each EA must run its own strategy, capped at $300,000, and EAs built to pass prop challenges are banned. On futures accounts, EAs and bots are allowed in the challenge and once funded if each is set up for your own strategy and does not place identical trades across accounts; EAs linked to apps such as Telegram or WhatsApp, latency abuse and order flooding are banned.

Restricted

Copying between your own FundingPips accounts, or from a FundingPips account out to your own external account, is allowed. Copying into a FundingPips account from signals or other traders, copying between different users, and third-party account management are prohibited.

Restricted

On CFD accounts, copying is allowed between your own FundedNext challenge accounts, up to $300,000 combined with one account set as the master. Copying between accounts owned by different people, including family and friends or through cloud copy tools, is prohibited. On futures accounts, you may copy between your own FundedNext accounts and your own accounts at other prop firms, registered in the same name; signal services and group trading are prohibited.

Restricted

Weekend holds are allowed in the evaluation on the 1 Step Flex, 2 Step Standard, 2 Step Flex and 2 Step Pro. On their Master accounts, open trades are closed automatically unless the Swing add-on was bought at purchase. FundingPips Zero does not allow weekend holds at all.

Allowed

Positions may be held over the weekend on Stellar 1-Step, 2-Step and Lite accounts, in the challenge and once funded. Futures positions must be closed by 3:10 PM CT every trading day, so none are held over the weekend.

Restricted

Overnight holds are allowed in the evaluation. On 1 Step Flex, 2 Step Standard, 2 Step Flex and 2 Step Pro Master accounts, the system closes every open trade each day (20:45 to 21:00 UTC in summer, 21:45 to 22:00 UTC in winter) unless the Swing add-on was bought at purchase. A separate swap-free add-on is sold for holding overnight without swap charges.

Allowed

Positions may be held overnight on every CFD account type. Swap charges apply on swap accounts and count toward the daily loss. Futures positions still open at 3:10 PM CT are closed automatically, and trading reopens at 5:00 PM CT.

Not allowed

Hedging is on FundingPips' list of forbidden strategies, along with opposite-account trading, and leads to account termination.

Restricted

On CFD accounts, hedging is allowed only within the same account; hedging or group hedging across accounts is prohibited. On futures accounts, offsetting positions in the same or a correlated contract are prohibited within one account and across accounts, as is coordinating opposite trades with other traders.
