FundingPips is a prop trading company from Dubai that helps traders get funded accounts. Started in November 2022, you pay a small challenge fee (as low as $29), trade on their platform, hit your profit goals, and keep 60–100% of profits. They've paid out over $167 million to traders worldwide and offer weekly "Tuesday Payday" withdrawals, the most frequent in the industry.
This is the first question every trader asks. Let's answer it clearly and honestly.
1. Real Company With a Real Address: Registered as FP Funding LLC, based in Dubai (UAE), founded by Khaled Ayesh, ISO certified, operating since November 2022.
2. Massive Payout Track Record: Over $167 million paid to real traders, 127,000+ verified payouts, confirmed by Payout Junction (third-party verification).
3. Excellent Public Reviews: 4.5/5 on Trustpilot from 23,000+ reviews. Most traders confirm getting paid on time with real proof.
4. Your Money Is Never at Risk: You never deposit trading capital. All accounts are simulated demo accounts. You only risk the small challenge fee ($29–$999).
5. Transparent Rules: Everything published on their website. No hidden traps. Rules are the same for every trader.
They're a young company. Three years old versus FTMO's 10 years or The5%ers' 9 years. Less history to judge long-term reliability.
Not regulated by any government body. Normal for prop firms, they're not brokers and don't need licenses. But there's no official safety net if anything goes wrong.
Funded account rules change from challenge rules. During challenges, you can trade news freely. Once funded, news trading is restricted. This surprises many traders.
FundingPips offers four different ways to get funded. Each suits a different type of trader.
The balanced choice. Two phases, 5% daily loss room, best leverage, and a full fee refund after your 4th payout.
| Account Size | Challenge Fee | Refunded? |
|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | $36 | Yes — 4th payout |
| $10,000 | $66 | Yes — 4th payout |
| $25,000 | $156 | Yes — 4th payout |
| $50,000 | $289 | Yes — 4th payout |
| $100,000 | $529 | Yes — 4th payout |
Profit split: Weekly 60% · Bi-weekly 80% · On-demand 90% · Monthly 100%
Best for: Most traders, the safest balance of targets, limits, and flexibility.
The budget option at just $29. Same two-phase structure but stricter daily limits (3%) in exchange for the lowest price.
| Account Size | Challenge Fee | Refunded? |
|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | $29 | No |
| $10,000 | $52 | No |
| $25,000 | $125 | No |
| $50,000 | $231 | No |
| $100,000 | $423 | No |
Profit split: Weekly 80% only (no other options)
Best for: Budget traders testing prop trading for the first time. Strict risk managers who rarely approach daily limits.
The 3% daily loss limit is very tight. One bad morning can end your account. Consider Standard if you're still developing discipline.
Skip Phase 2. Hit 10% profit once and get funded immediately. The fastest path for experienced traders.
| Account Size | Challenge Fee | Refunded? |
|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | $59 | Yes — 4th payout |
| $10,000 | $99 | Yes — 4th payout |
| $25,000 | $199 | Yes — 4th payout |
| $50,000 | $319 | Yes — 4th payout |
| $100,000 | $555 | Yes — 4th payout |
Profit split: Weekly 60% · Bi-weekly 80% · On-demand 90% · Monthly 100%
Best for: Experienced traders who are confident hitting 10% without the security of a wider 10% max loss buffer.
No challenge phases at all. Pay your fee, get funded the same day, and start trading for profit immediately.
| Account Size | One-Time Fee | Refunded? |
|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | $99 | No |
| $10,000 | $169 | No |
| $25,000 | $299 | No |
| $50,000 | $499 | No |
| $100,000 | $999 | No |
Profit split: Bi-weekly 95% only (no other options)
Best for: Experienced traders who hate evaluation phases, willing to accept strictest rules (no news trading, no weekend holding, 15% consistency rule).
Zero fees are not refunded AND the strictest rules apply. Only choose this if you are an experienced, disciplined trader. Beginners should start with Standard.
| Feature | 2-Step Standard | 2-Step Pro | 1-Step | Zero (Instant) |

Break one rule = account closed forever. No warnings, no second chances. Here's every rule made crystal clear.
You can only lose a certain amount in one calendar day. 2-Step Standard & 1-Step: 5% daily. 2-Step Pro & Zero: 3% daily. Resets at midnight server time every night.
Your daily limit = $5,000. Lose $2,500 in the morning, $1,800 in the afternoon, win $400 in the evening. Net loss for the day: $3,900 — still safe. But you only have $1,100 room left before midnight. One more big loss ends your account.
If you're down 3% in one day, stop trading. Wait for the daily reset. Never push to the limit — cushion saves accounts.
Your account balance can NEVER drop below a fixed floor — ever. This rule never resets. Standard: 10% max loss. Pro, 1-Step: 6% max loss. Zero: 5% max loss. Includes open floating losses — not just closed trades.
If you're down 8% on Standard, treat it like 10% — start trading micro lots or stop until next month.
You must reach the required profit (in closed trades only) before passing each phase. Targets are fixed from your starting balance — not your current balance.
Phase 1: Need $4,000 profit (8%). You make $4,200. Pass! Phase 2: Balance resets to $50,000. Need $2,500 profit (5%). You make $2,700. Funded!
Your best single trading day cannot exceed a percentage of your total profit. 2-Step Pro: 45%. On-demand payouts: 35%. Zero: 15%. Standard and bi-weekly/monthly: no consistency rule.
Best day allowed: $2,250 (45% of $5,000). If you earn $3,000 in one day (60% of total), you fail the consistency rule even if you passed the profit target.
After a big winning day, keep trading small amounts across more days. This lowers your "best day" percentage and keeps you safely in range.
Standard & 1-Step: 3 days per phase. Pro: 1 day per phase. Zero (funded): 7 days before first payout. A "trading day" = at least one open and closed position. Profit or loss doesn't matter — just prove activity.
Always aim for 5+ trading days per phase to be safe. Hitting the target in 2 days doesn't help if you don't meet the minimum trading day requirement.
This is the biggest surprise rule. During challenges: trade news freely. Once funded on Standard, Pro, or 1-Step: cannot open or close trades 5 minutes before or after high-impact news. Zero: 10-minute window restriction, cannot hold during news.
Red-folder events on ForexFactory.com: NFP jobs report, Fed interest rate decisions, inflation data (CPI), central bank meetings and major speeches.
NFP news at 8:30 AM EST. You open a trade at 8:27 AM (3 minutes before). You make $1,000 profit. That $1,000 doesn't count — and your account could be reviewed or terminated.
Check ForexFactory every morning. Mark all red-folder events. Simply wait until 10+ minutes after news to re-enter. Or trade completely different sessions that avoid major releases.
Standard, Pro, 1-Step: ✅ Can hold forex, indices, commodities over weekends. Zero: ❌ All positions must close before Friday market close. Zero traders face account termination for any open position entering the weekend.
Weekend gap risk: Market closes Friday at 5 PM. A major geopolitical event over the weekend causes Gold to gap 300 pips on Monday open. A small $500 loss becomes an $8,000 loss before you can react — blowing the account instantly.
If you don't place any trade for 30 consecutive days, your account may be closed. Trade at least once per month — even a small position counts. This applies to all programs and funded accounts.
Set a calendar reminder for Day 28 if you haven't traded recently. One small trade resets the 30-day clock completely.
Here's what every account costs across all programs — and what you get back.

This is what FundingPips is famous for. Every single Tuesday, if you have profit in your funded account, you can withdraw it. Here's the full process step by step.
Complete all phases (or pay for Zero instant). Account review takes 1–3 business days. You receive login credentials and a Master Account.
Trade within the rules. Build profit in closed trades. Follow the news trading restriction (5-minute window rule). Make minimum 5 trading days before first withdrawal.
Every single Tuesday is payout day. You don't have to wait 2 or 4 weeks — every week you can request. Day 1 to first eligible Tuesday can be as fast as 6 days.
Log into your FundingPips dashboard. Navigate to Payouts. Confirm the amount and submit. Minimum withdrawal is 1% of account balance.
They verify no rule violations, no bot usage, no prohibited strategies. This usually takes 1–3 business days after Tuesday submission.
Crypto: Same day or next day. Riseworks: 1–2 days. Bank transfer: 3–5 days. PayPal / Wise: 1–3 days. Most traders have money by Wednesday or Thursday.
After your 4th successful payout, FundingPips adds your original challenge fee back into that payout. A $289 fee becomes $289 bonus income on your 4th payout.
| Payout Frequency | How Often | Profit Split | $1,000 Profit → You Get | Who It's For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tuesday (Weekly) | Every week | 60% | $600 | Fast cash flow |
| Bi-Weekly | Every 2 weeks | 80% | $800 | Most popular choice |
| On-Demand | Anytime | 90% | $900 | Max flexibility |
| Monthly | Once per month | 100% | $1,000 | Maximize profits |
This is FundingPips' long-term career path. Start small, scale up to $2 million over time through 4 levels.
Trade for 2 months. Make 10% total profit. Request at least 2 payouts. Your reward: account grows by 20%, max drawdown increases by 1%, daily loss limit increases by 1%.
Trade for 4 months total. Make 10% profit across 4 months. Request at least 4 payouts. Account grows by 30% from original, drawdown increases by 2% total, daily limit increases by 1.5% total.
Six months of consistent trading and 10% profit. Request at least 6 payouts. Capital grows by 40% from original, max drawdown rises to 13%, additional payout flexibility unlocked.
Invitation-only. FundingPips invites you after consistent long-term performance. Your account balance DOUBLES (2× original), profit split becomes 100%, on-demand payouts anytime, access to up to $2,000,000 total capital, monthly bonuses, elite trader status.
Before Hot Seat: $70K balance, 80% split, make $3,500 → keep $2,800
After Hot Seat: $100K balance (doubled!), 100% split, make $5,000 → keep $5,000. That's $2,200 more per cycle in your pocket.
| Level | Time Trading | Capital Boost | Max Drawdown | Profit Split | Special Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Start | Day 1 | $50,000 | 10% | 60–80% | None |
| Launchpad | 2 months | $60,000 (+20%) | 11% | 60–80% | Larger buffer |

| Hot Seat | 8–12+ months | $100,000 (2×) | Higher | 100% | All profits + $2M |
FundingPips supports four platforms. Each has a different focus and cost structure.
| Feature | MT5 | cTrader | Match-Trader | TradeLocker |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free | $20/account | Free | Free |
| Expert Advisors | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes (cAlgo) | ❌ No | ❌ No |
| Ease of Use | ⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Indicators | 100+ | 50+ | 20+ | 30+ |
| Mobile Apps | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
| Web Version | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ✅ Native | ✅ Native |
| Community Size | Huge | Medium | Small | Small |
| Best For | Most traders | Scalpers | Mobile traders | Web traders |
If you're unsure — pick MT5. It's free, supports Expert Advisors, has 100+ indicators, and is the industry standard. Scalpers who need fast execution should consider cTrader (worth the $20 extra). Mobile-first traders: use Match-Trader (free and no download needed).
| Asset Class | Instruments | Commission | Leverage | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Forex | 40+ currency pairs (major, minor, exotic) | $5/lot | 1:100 (Standard) | Most popular |
| Metals | Gold (XAUUSD), Silver (XAGUSD) | $5/lot | 1:20 | Very popular |
| Energies | Crude Oil (WTI), Brent Oil | Free | 1:10 | No commission! |
| Indices | S&P 500, NASDAQ, DAX, FTSE, Nikkei, more | Free | Varies | No commission! |
| Cryptocurrencies | Bitcoin, Ethereum + other majors | 0.04% | 1:2–1:10 | No weekend holding |
FundingPips does NOT offer individual stocks, options, futures contracts, bonds, or ETFs. The focus is forex, metals, energies, indices, and crypto only.
FundingPips 2-Step Pro for $5K costs just $29 — the absolute lowest entry fee among major prop firms. Compare: FTMO ~$150, FundedNext $49, most others $50+. At $29, anyone can afford to test prop trading. Even if you fail twice and retry, your total spend is $87.
FundingPips: $29 · FundedNext: $49 · FTMO: ~$75 · Goat: $49. FundingPips wins on entry cost, hands down.
This is FundingPips' signature feature. Every Tuesday, if you have profit, you can withdraw. No waiting 14–30 days like other firms. Get funded on a Thursday, and you could request your first payout the following Tuesday — just 5 days later.
FundingPips (Tuesday weekly): Payout Days 6, 13, 20, 27, 34, 41, 48, 55. That's 8 payouts in 8 weeks.
Monthly firm: Payout Days 30, 60. That's 2 payouts in the same period.
You're accessing cash 6 times more often.
Very few prop firms offer this. FundingPips gives you 100% on monthly payouts and through their Hot Seat program. Every dollar of profit is yours. On a $50,000 account making 5% per month ($2,500), that's $2,500 instead of $2,000 at 80% — $6,000 more per year.
All programs have zero time limits. Take 3 months, 6 months, even a year to pass. Perfect for part-time traders with day jobs, swing traders who take 2–3 setups per week, or careful traders who wait for high-probability entries only.
Standard and 1-Step challenges refund your fee after 4 successful payouts. Pay $289, trade for 2–3 months, and receive $289 back as part of your 4th payout. Your challenge essentially cost you nothing.
The 4-level scaling plan creates a genuine long-term career path. Start with $10K, scale up through Launchpad, Ascender, Trailblazer, and finally Hot Seat for a 2× account boost and 100% profit split. The path to $2M is mapped and measurable.
No other major prop firm gives you this level of flexibility. Four choices: weekly (60%), bi-weekly (80%), on-demand (90%), monthly (100%). Match your payout schedule to your real-life cash flow needs rather than being locked into one option.
Request on Tuesday, typically paid by Thursday. Crypto payouts are often same-day or next-day. No waiting a week or more for approval. This speed makes FundingPips one of the most cash-flow-friendly prop firms available.
FundingPips started in November 2022. FTMO has 10 years of history. The5%ers has 9 years. Three years is impressive growth but leaves many long-term questions unanswered. How will they handle a major market crisis? What if growth slows? Can they sustain $167M+ in payouts long-term?
Who this hurts: Traders building 5–10 year careers who need absolute reliability. Traders who've seen young firms collapse before.
✅ Workaround: Use FundingPips alongside an older, more established firm. Run a challenge at FTMO or The5%ers simultaneously to hedge platform risk.
During challenges you can trade news freely. Once funded, you're restricted to a 5-minute window before and after high-impact news. This catches traders by surprise — you practice one way during the challenge and then face different rules once funded.
Who this hurts: News traders, forex scalpers, anyone whose edge is built around volatility spikes during NFP, FOMC, or CPI releases.
✅ Workaround: Trade different market sessions that avoid major releases, or simply wait 10+ minutes after news settles before entering. Check ForexFactory every morning — make it a non-negotiable habit.
2-Step Pro has a 45% consistency rule. Zero has a 15% rule. On-demand payouts have 35%. If you have one exceptional day — say 3× your average — you can fail the consistency requirement even after hitting your profit target. This penalizes traders for performing too well on a single day.
Who this hurts: Position traders with lumpy profits, traders who happen to catch a rare breakout move, anyone who has highly variable performance day-to-day.
✅ Workaround: After a very large winning day, continue trading small positions for additional days. This adds more profit days to your record and reduces the percentage your "best day" represents out of total profit.
Every other platform (MT5, Match-Trader, TradeLocker) is free. But cTrader — popular with scalpers for its speed and clean UI — costs $20 extra per account. For traders running 5+ accounts, this adds $100+ in fees that their competitors don't charge.
Who this hurts: Scalpers who rely specifically on cTrader, traders managing multiple accounts simultaneously, budget-conscious traders.
✅ Workaround: MT5 is free and works excellently for most strategies including scalping. Only pay for cTrader if you genuinely need its specific features that MT5 doesn't offer.

These are the top reasons traders lose their accounts. Learn them before you start, Etim.
You trade news freely during the challenge. You get funded. Then you trade NFP and your profits don't count — or worse, your account is terminated. This surprises more traders than any other rule.
✅ Fix: Read the funded account rules BEFORE purchasing your challenge. Know every restriction before it applies to you. The rules change between evaluation and Master account — understand both versions.
The $29 price tag is tempting. But the 3% daily loss limit is extremely tight. One volatile morning session can end your account before lunch. Many traders buy Pro for the low price and fail in their first week.
✅ Fix: Unless you're extremely disciplined and trade with very small risk per trade, choose 2-Step Standard. The 5% daily limit and 10% max loss give you the room to make mistakes and learn.
You hit the profit target in one spectacular day. You stop trading. You fail the consistency rule. Account rejected. Even though you technically passed the profit target, the review found your one big day was too large a proportion of total profits.
✅ Fix: Never stop trading after a big day. Keep placing small trades across additional days. Aim for your best single day to represent no more than 25–30% of total profits to stay safely under the threshold.
Every withdrawal costs $10. If you withdraw $200 every Tuesday, you're paying $40/month in fees — 20% of your weekly profits gone immediately. This is one of the most costly invisible mistakes.
✅ Fix: Let profits accumulate. Withdraw when you have at least $500–$1,000. A $10 fee on $1,000 is just 1%. On $200 it's 5%. The less often you withdraw (while still meeting your cash flow needs), the more you keep.
FundingPips is a legitimate, affordable prop firm with genuinely unique features — especially Tuesday Payday and the cheapest entry in the industry. Not perfect, but strong value for most traders.
FundingPips does a lot right. The $29 entry is unmatched. Tuesday Payday is genuinely unique. The 100% profit split option and scaling path to $2M give serious traders a real career roadmap. And the $167M+ paid to real traders confirms this is not a fly-by-night operation.
The drawbacks are real but manageable. The news trading restrictions catch traders by surprise, but they're easy to work around with a daily calendar check. The consistency rule trips up impatient traders but rewards disciplined ones. Support could be faster, and being only 3 years old means less proven resilience.
If you're a complete beginner: Start with the $29 2-Step Pro. The low cost means mistakes are affordable. Learn the system. If you like it, graduate to Standard.
If you're an experienced manual trader: Go straight to $50K 2-Step Standard ($289). Bi-weekly 80% split gives you solid income. Fee refunds after 4 payouts make it effectively free.
If you're a news trader: Look elsewhere. FTMO or FundedNext handle news trading more generously on funded accounts.
If you need weekly income: FundingPips is the best option available. No other major prop firm does Tuesday Payday.
Beginners: $29 2-Step Pro ($5K). Most traders: $289 2-Step Standard ($50K). Speed runners: $319 1-Step ($50K). Experienced only: $499 Zero ($50K).

MT5 recommended (free, supports EAs, most features). Scalpers: cTrader ($20 extra). Mobile-first: Match-Trader (free). No download preferred: TradeLocker (free).
Especially the funded account rules — news trading restrictions, consistency rules, minimum trading days. Know them cold before your first trade.
No rush. Take 5+ trading days per phase. Spread profits over many days. Never force trades when there are no good setups. Check ForexFactory every morning.
Pick bi-weekly (80%) for best balance. Or monthly (100%) if you can wait. Submit requests every Tuesday. Your first payout could arrive by Thursday of the same week.
Industry estimates suggest only 10–20% of traders pass on their first attempt. Most fail. Only purchase a challenge if you can comfortably afford to lose the entire fee.
Even "funded" accounts use simulated capital. You're not trading real markets. FundingPips pays you based on demo performance, not real asset positions.
FundingPips is not regulated by any financial authority. This is standard for prop firms (they're not brokers), but means no government safety net exists.
FundingPips can update rules, fees, or policies without notice. Always verify current terms on their website before purchasing. What's written here reflects February 2026 rules.
Risk Warning: Prop firm challenges have low pass rates. Most traders lose their challenge fee. Only use money you can afford to lose entirely. This is not a guaranteed income source.
