Firm Rules Summary

Risk Guide

With FunderPro's $4,500 daily loss limit, you can afford exactly 3 consecutive losses at 1% risk ($1,500 each) before breaching the daily limit. At 2% risk ($3,000 per trade), just 1.5 losing trades will put you dangerously close to the $4,500 threshold. The math is unforgiving at this account size - there's no room for sloppy risk management. For position sizing, 1% risk ($1,500) on EURUSD with a 30-pip stop means 5 standard lots ($50,000 position, $15 per pip). On GBPUSD with a 40-pip stop, you're looking at 3.75 standard lots. For indices like US30, a 20-point stop allows $75 per point. Gold with a $15 stop permits $100 per ounce. These calculations assume you're hitting your stop exactly - market gaps can blow through these numbers instantly. The danger scenario: opening multiple correlated positions (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD all long) during a dollar rally. Each position hitting stops simultaneously can breach your daily limit in minutes. Similarly, holding overnight positions during news releases can gap against you beyond your calculated risk. Between challenge phases, your risk parameters stay identical - $4,500 daily loss and $9,000 max drawdown remain constant. However, Phase 1 requires $15,000 profit (10%) while Phase 2 only needs $7,500 (5%). The consistency rule adds another layer: your best trading day cannot exceed 40-45% of total profits, so you can't rely on one massive winner. Once funded, the real difference emerges: you receive payouts, but the risk rules remain just as strict. Many traders increase position sizes after funding, thinking they've "made it." This is where most blow accounts. The $4,500 daily loss that seemed manageable during the challenge becomes the wall that ends funded careers. Stick to 1% risk maximum, regardless of phase.
