Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 1-Step Evaluation (Classic)?
The 1-Step Classic is a one-phase challenge where traders only need to complete a single evaluation stage before receiving a funded account. During the evaluation, you must achieve a 10% profit target without violating any drawdown or trading rules. After passing, you get access to a funded account with an 80% to 95% profit split.
Are there any time limits to complete the Evaluation?
No. There are no maximum trading days. You may take as long as needed to pass.
What are the minimum trading days required?
You must trade for at least 5 separate days in the evaluation. There is no minimum trading day requirement once you become funded.
What is the Max Drawdown and how does it work?
You are allowed a 6% trailing maximum drawdown. This follows your account equity until it reaches the initial balance. Once your trailing drawdown locks at the starting balance, it stops trailing. Example: 100K account → max drawdown allowed is 6K. Trailing until break-even, then fixed. A breach results in immediate failure.
What is the Daily Drawdown?
The maximum daily loss allowed is 4% of your end-of-day balance. This limit includes both closed losses and floating losses. Exceeding the daily drawdown leads to instant breach.
Are EAs and automated strategies allowed?
Yes. EAs are allowed provided they do not violate prohibited activities such as HFT, arbitrage, grid/martingale, tick scalping, or copying external traders. The EA must also follow the 3-minute stop-loss and 60-second minimum hold rules.
Can I hold trades overnight and over the weekend?
Yes. Overnight and weekend holding is allowed during both evaluation and funded phases.
Is news trading allowed?
Yes — but no trades can be opened 5 minutes before or after high-impact news events.
Is a Stop Loss required?
Yes. Must be placed within 3 minutes of opening a trade. Two violations = soft breaches.
What is the stacking/grid rule?
Maximum 2 trades per instrument per direction. Exceeding this results in a hard breach.
Is copy trading allowed?
Yes, from your personal account only. Copying external traders or signals is prohibited.
How does the profit split work?
After passing evaluation, funded account profit split starts at 80% and scales up to 95% with consecutive payouts.
Do I get a refund of my fee?
Yes, after 3 successful payouts once funded.
What happens if I am inactive?
Accounts with 30 days of no trading activity will be closed.
Are there any consistency or lot-size requirements?
No. There are no consistency rules and no lot-size rules applied.
These program-specific rules apply alongside the General Trading Rules that govern all FundYourFX accounts — including leverage, stop-loss requirements, HFT restrictions, and news trading rules.
