FundedFX uses Match Trader as the only supported trading platform. All evaluations and funded accounts are managed through Match Trader.
Match Trader is a modern platform designed for active traders. It offers:
Match Trader is accessible through a web browser or by downloading the official mobile app.
No. Weekend holding is strictly not allowed for any account type.
All trades must be closed before the market closes. If you leave a position open over the weekend, it will be considered a rule violation.
This rule exists to protect against weekend market gaps. Prices can change significantly between Friday’s close and Sunday’s open. These gaps can cause major losses and create unnecessary risk for both the trader and the firm. Closing trades before the weekend helps maintain fair and stable trading conditions.
FundedFX charges a $2 commission per side, which totals $4 per round trip trade.
Spreads are variable, which means they change based on current market conditions.
There are no hidden platform or maintenance fees. All trading costs are clearly stated up front, giving you a transparent trading environment.
Yes, news trading is allowed on both challenge accounts and funded accounts.
However, there are specific rules to follow when trading around news events:
You are free to trade during high-impact events like NFP, CPI, or interest rate decisions—as long as you follow the minimum duration rule.
There are no restrictions on using news-based strategies as long as your trades comply with the timing requirement above.
Yes. FundedFX allows the use of both trade copiers and expert advisors (EAs).
This means you can:
Just make sure that the strategy you use still respects all trading rules, including:
Using automation is fine—as long as it follows the same risk and trade behavior rules as manual trading.
At this time, FundedFX does not offer swap-free (Islamic) accounts.
All accounts incur standard overnight swap charges based on the instruments being traded. If swap-free accounts become available in the future, it will be announced on the website and through official channels.
Yes. FundedFX has a 30-day inactivity policy.
If you do not log into your account or place any trades for 30 consecutive days, your account will be permanently deactivated.
This applies to both challenge accounts and funded accounts.
To avoid this, simply log in and place at least one trade within any 30-day period to keep your account active.
Breaking any of FundedFX’s trading rules may result in one of the following, depending on the violation:
Common rule violations include:
Always read the full list of trading rules before you start, so you know exactly what’s allowed.
Yes. Overnight holding is allowed, but weekend holding is not.
You can keep positions open at the end of the day as long as the market remains open. However, all positions must be closed before the market closes on Friday to avoid violations.
Be aware that holding trades overnight can expose you to:
These risks are part of normal trading conditions and are your responsibility to manage.
The 1-Step Challenge is a fast-track evaluation designed for experienced traders who want to get funded without delays. There’s no second phase—just one clear target, a defined risk limit, and a direct path to a funded account.
Here’s how it works:
Leverage is set up to 1:30, and most trading styles are allowed—including news trading and EAs—so long as you follow the rules.
If you meet all the conditions, you’ll receive a funded simulated account with the same starting balance as your challenge account. The profit split starts at 80/20 and can scale to 90/10 with addons.
There’s no second step, no waiting. Just clear rules, solid risk parameters, and a direct opportunity to prove yourself and scale.
The Classic 2-Step Challenge is the evaluation process you must complete to qualify for a funded account. It’s designed to test your trading consistency, risk management, and profitability—without putting pressure on time limits or forced strategies.
Here’s how it works:
If you pass both phases while following all the rules, you’ll be offered a funded account with the same starting balance as your challenge account.
There are no hidden rules or tricks. The challenge is designed to simulate realistic trading conditions and reward skilled, disciplined traders.
Note: The countdown begins when the phase is activated. Weekends and public holidays count. If the profit target is not met within the period shown, the phase (or the whole challenge, for 1-Step) is considered failed and you would need to restart or purchase a reset.
Note: A trading day counts only when you open and close a trade within the same 24-hour cycle measured by our server (the “rollover,” usually 5 pm EST). If a trade stays open past that rollover, the opening day is ignored; the day you close the trade is the one that gets added to your trading-day total. For example, if you open a trade on Monday and close it on Tuesday, only Tuesday counts toward your trading-day total.
Leverage during the challenge depends on the asset you are trading. FundedFX provides realistic, risk-managed leverage settings to encourage proper trading habits. Here’s the breakdown:
Leverage remains consistent across all account sizes and phases. These levels are designed to give you enough flexibility to trade effectively while still maintaining strong risk control.
Yes. If you fail the challenge, you can purchase a new one and try again.
There is no limit to how many times you can retry. However, each attempt requires a new challenge fee based on the account size you select.
Make sure to review the rules carefully before retaking the challenge to avoid repeating mistakes. Things like max drawdown violations, rule breaches, or risky trade behavior are the most common reasons traders fail.
FundedFX gives traders the freedom to use most strategies, but there are a few important restrictions to ensure fair use and responsible risk management.
Allowed:
Not allowed:
If your strategy relies on fast entries and exits, make sure your average trade duration across all positions is over 5 minutes, and that at least 50% of your profit comes from trades lasting longer than 5 minutes.
Yes, news trading is allowed on both challenge accounts and funded accounts.
However, there are specific rules to follow when trading around news events:

All accounts incur standard overnight swap charges based on the instruments being traded. If swap-free accounts become available in the future, it will be announced on the website and through official channels.
The 5-minute rule is part of FundedFX’s strategy filters designed to prevent high-frequency, low-exposure tactics that avoid real risk.
To comply with this rule, you must meet two requirements:
This rule applies to both phases of the challenge and is enforced automatically. If your trading style is very short-term, make sure your trade durations still fall within this range to stay compliant.
The 30% best day rule applies only to the on-demand payout option once you’re funded.
Here’s how it works:
To request an on-demand payout, you must:
If your best day does exceed 30%, you’ll need to trade more and balance out your performance before requesting an on-demand payout. The rule does not affect biweekly payouts.
Yes. All trades must be closed before your challenge period ends, whether you’re in Phase 1 or Phase 2.
If your challenge ends with open positions, those trades will not be counted, and the account may be considered incomplete or invalid—especially if they affect your final profit or loss calculation.
To avoid any issues, make sure all positions are closed before the final day ends, even if you’ve already met your profit target and minimum trading days.
