The same rules counted in trades instead of percent, for a strategy that risks a fixed share of the initial balance and takes profit at twice its risk. Losers are full 1R losses with no partial closes.

Read the daily row first. It is the rule that ends most challenges, because it counts a bad day, not a bad month - and losers cluster. Our risk-of-ruin table shows how often a given win rate produces a streak that long.
Tracked automatically - and what is not.
- Profit target per phase, measured on closed balance, so an open winner cannot pass a phase.
- Daily loss on live equity, floating P&L included, against the balance the day started with.
- Max loss on live equity against the phase's starting balance.
- Minimum trading days per phase - a day counts when a trade is placed on it.
- Leverage - margin is checked on every order.
Not modelled, specific to FundingPips:
- * FundingPips' 1-Step daily limit is quoted as 3% in some current summaries and 4% in others. The preset uses 3%, the stricter of the two - change it in the setup screen if your account says 4%.
- FundingPips also sells a 2-Step Pro (6% + 6% targets, 3% daily, 6% max, 45% consistency rule). Pick the 2-Step preset and edit the numbers to rehearse it; the consistency rule is not enforced.
- Daily loss resets at 00:00 UTC in the simulator; FundingPips resets on its server clock (UTC+3 per its own notices), so the reset lands three hours apart.
Read these before you rehearse.

Backtest FundingPips FAQ
Is this the real FundingPips challenge?
No. It is a simulation on historical data that loads FundingPips's published rules, so you can rehearse a challenge before paying for one. Nothing here is connected to FundingPips, and passing here does not give you a FundingPips account.
Is the simulated FundingPips challenge free?
Yes. The free plan includes one prop-firm challenge straight away and a second after day 3. Pro adds 10 now and 10 more after day 3; Ultra is unlimited. No card is needed to start.
Which markets can I run the FundingPips challenge on?
Any of the 105 instruments on FxBacktest - forex pairs, gold and silver, indices such as the Nasdaq and DAX, oil, crypto and US stocks - on every timeframe from one minute to monthly.
Can I change the FundingPips rules?
Yes. The preset only fills in the setup screen. Account size, number of phases, each phase target, daily and max loss, minimum days and leverage can all be edited before the challenge starts.
