Does FunderPro's Profit Target Phase 1 include unrealized profits?

No, FunderPro's Phase 1 profit target only counts realized, closed profits toward the 10% requirement. Open positions with floating gains do not count until you close them and lock in the profits. You must have 10% in actual closed profit to advance to Phase 2.

What happens if I breach the Profit Target Phase 1?

There is no breach for not reaching the profit target - you simply cannot advance to Phase 2 until you achieve the full 10% profit requirement. However, you can still fail the evaluation by violating other rules like daily loss limits or maximum drawdown while trying to reach the target. The evaluation continues until you either reach 10% profit or breach another rule.

How long do I have to reach FunderPro's 10% Phase 1 profit target?

FunderPro does not impose a time limit for reaching the 10% Phase 1 profit target, but you must complete at least 4 minimum trading days. You can take as long as needed to reach the target as long as you don't violate other rules like the daily loss or maximum drawdown limits.

Is FunderPro's profit target calculated on account balance or equity?

FunderPro's 10% profit target is calculated based on your initial account balance at the start of Phase 1. The target amount remains fixed regardless of whether your current balance or equity fluctuates. For example, a $100,000 account always requires exactly $10,000 in total realized profit to pass Phase 1.

FunderPro Profit Target (Phase 1) Rule Explained

FunderPro

Quick Answer

FunderPro's Phase 1 Profit Target requires traders to achieve 10% profit on their initial account balance.

The profit target is calculated based on your starting account balance and must be reached in realized profits. For example, a $100,000 account needs $10,000 in profit to advance to Phase 2. Failing to reach this target means you cannot progress and must restart the evaluation.

Common Mistakes

Counting Unrealized Profits

Traders often assume floating profits count toward the 10% target and close their platform thinking they've passed. FunderPro only counts closed, realized profits toward the Phase 1 target. A trader with a $50,000 account showing $5,200 in unrealized gains still needs to close positions and lock in profits to reach the $5,000 requirement.

Ignoring Daily Loss Limits

Traders focus solely on reaching 10% profit while violating the 3% daily loss rule in pursuit of the target. Getting close to the profit target doesn't protect you from account termination if you breach other rules. A trader at 9% profit can still fail by losing more than 3% in a single day while trying to reach the final 1%.

Rushing After Drawdowns

After experiencing losses, traders increase position sizes dramatically to quickly recover and hit the 10% target. This aggressive approach often leads to violating the 6% maximum total loss rule. A trader down 4% on a $25,000 account who overleverages to reach $2,500 profit can easily breach the $1,500 total loss limit.

Miscalculating Profit Requirements

Traders sometimes calculate the 10% target based on current balance instead of initial balance, leading to confusion about their actual target. On a $100,000 account that's grown to $105,000, the target remains $10,000 total profit, not $10,500 based on the new balance.

Protection Strategies

Set Personal Target at 11-12%

Aim for 11-12% profit instead of exactly 10% to create a buffer for any calculation errors or small losses. This gives you $1,000-2,000 extra cushion on a $100,000 account. The buffer protects against minor drawdowns after reaching your target and ensures you stay comfortably above the requirement.

Use 2% Daily Risk Limits

Limit daily risk to 2% of account balance instead of the maximum 3% to preserve capital while building toward the 10% target. On a $50,000 account, risk only $1,000 per day maximum. This conservative approach prevents large drawdowns that could make reaching the $5,000 profit target mathematically impossible.

Track Progress with Running Calculations

Monitor your exact profit progress daily using a spreadsheet or trading journal that calculates remaining profit needed. Set alerts when you reach 8% and 9% milestones to avoid overtrading once close to the target. This prevents the common mistake of continuing to trade aggressively when you're already near the finish line.

Reduce Positions When Above 8% Profit

Scale down position sizes significantly once you exceed 8% profit to protect gains while still allowing gradual progress to 10%. Drop from 2% risk per trade to 0.5-1% risk per trade during this final phase. This prevents giving back large portions of your progress due to a few bad trades near the target.
