In accordance with our Terms and Conditions, all traders associated with our challenge and funded programs must be the sole traders of their accounts.

Due to this, we discourage accessing any trading account via VPN or VPS to track the data through our internal systems properly.

Please note this is common practice for any service that does not allow multiple users on a single account.

To be clear, this does not mean that you are not allowed to use a VPN or VPS. It just means that if you do, if any potentially malicious activity is found on your account the use of a VPN or VPS will be a highly determining factor of whether you are considered to have violated our terms & conditions.

Commissions or commission-equivalents may be charged in connection with your trading activity.  Note that cryptocurrency trading is subject to a percentage-based commission rate of 0.05% of the total notional trade volume, charged per side (USD amount * 0.0005).

Yes, EAs are enabled on our trading platforms.

However, the use of EAs of martingale (of all forms – manual trading and EA), Layering, Order Book Spamming, High-Frequency Trading, Ultra-Fast Scalping, Latency Arbitrage Trading, any Tick Scalping Strategies, any Reverse Arbitrage Trading, any Hedge Arbitrage Trading, or any use of similar emulators are not allowed.

We require the average duration of all your trades to be greater than 2 minutes.

We understand some trades may have a duration of less than 2 minutes, and this is ok, we simply require the majority of trades and the average duration of all trades to exceed 2 minutes.

This is in place to prevent Tick scalping and high frequency traders attempting to manipulate our price feed offered in good faith.

No, there is no stop loss requirement. You are free to manage your trades according to your own risk management strategy. However, it is advisable to use a stop loss to manage your risk

No, we don’t charge any additional, recurring or hidden fees. Everything is covered in the one-time fee for a Funding Frontier Challenge.

Funding Frontier is committed to transparency. There are no hidden rules when you join our program. Everything you need to know can be found right here in our Rules & FAQ section.

Yes, there are distinctions based on the account type:

  1. Free/Giveaway Accounts:
  • Maximum payout is capped at 2% of the starting balance per payout period
  • This applies to all giveaway and free accounts
  1. Standard Paid Accounts:
  • After successful completion of evaluation and reaching the funded stage, no specific profit cap applies
  • This structure aims to provide a more authentic trading environment

No, Funding Frontier is not a regulated broker, and we do not take capital from clients or offer investment services.

Our company operates as a technology platform specializing in trading challenge credentials. We provide users with access to simulated trading environments through demo accounts, which are hosted by our authorized third-party brokerage partners to reflect authentic market conditions. As part of our services, we collect and analyze trading data from our users. This data may be used internally for our own trading activities and could be shared with external partners for analytical purposes.

Email notifications for all breaches, both soft and hard, will be sent, and we will do our best to ensure they reach you. However, these notifications are provided as a courtesy and do not exempt you, the trader, from your responsibility to understand and follow the program’s rules. If a notification is not triggered—due to technical issues or other reasons—this will not serve as grounds for exemption from a breach.

Our system automatically detects breaches, and our team also manually reviews accounts at key milestones and on a regular basis to ensure compliance with the rules. It remains your responsibility to thoroughly read and understand all program rules before participating in the evaluation.

Evaluation accounts should be traded individually. You can’t copy trades (EA or manual) from a master account to another evaluation account to trade them simultaneously with the same trades & trade ideas. Each account should be traded individually. Additionally, account management services are not allowed, and all accounts and trades must be performed by the trader whose name is on the account.

Yes.

Yes, you can hold trades over the weekend. However, swaps will be charged for overnight positions.

Opening a position within 3 minutes before or after a News Event is prohibited. Any traders identified as having opened a position during a News Event are subject to having that position closed and the associated P&L removed from their account, having the leverage on their account reduced or having their account breached altogether. The Company has sole and absolute discretion in determining what constitutes a News Event.  This rule is intended to protect the integrity of our program and is not meant to penalize traders who inadvertently trade through a news event.

During the evaluation phases of the program you can trade freely during all news releases.

After you pass the Evaluation and are a Funded Trader you should be careful when trading during news releases.

Only our Funded Traders are NOT allowed to execute any new trade or close an existing trade in the window of 5 minutes before until 5 minutes after the release of the below High Impact News announcements. During news speeches, the prohibited window will extend 5 minutes prior to the speech until 5 minutes after the speech has been finished.

To clarify, we define executing a trade as opening or closing either a pending order (including stop loss or a take profit) or market execution. You are allowed to hold your trade(s) on the targeted instrument(s) that were opened more than 5 minutes before the restricted news event.

Be reminded that if your Stop Loss or Take Profit is activated/filled during the restricted time window of 5 minutes before until 5 minutes after, it will be taken as a violation, this will be identified as a hard breach. Also see Breach Notifications.

Please note that news trading is allowed on the instant funding evaluation model.

DXTrade does not support automated strategies.

Yes, you can change your trading platform or broker after passing a challenge phase. You should not have placed any trades or orders on the account if you request a broker or platform change.

To request a change in broker or platform send an email to support@fundingfrontier.com.

At Funding Frontier, it is required that the trading account is exclusively traded by the account owner without any adaptions once a phase has been completed.

In case a breach of this rule is detected, your account will be terminated immediately.

Consistency Rule

The consistency rule only applies to Funding Frontier Instant funded evaluations. Please make sure to read the below carefully before you start trading.

On the instant funded evaluation a consistency rule of 30% applies. This means that one trading day cannot be equal or greater than 30% of the total profits made for that withdrawal period.

When the profits of one trading day equals or is greater than 30% of the total profits made during that payout period, you cannot request a payout until the highest profit trading day falls below the 30% of total profits made on that account within that particular period.

What if I make more than 30% of my total profit in one day?

Your account will not be terminated if you violate the 30% rule, however you must continue trading and make more profits until the highest profit trading day falls below the 30% of total profits.

For example if you make $1000 in one trading day, you will at least need to reach $3350 in total profits within that period to be able to withdraw profits from your account.

Classic and Pro Plans

There is no consistency rule during the challenge phase, but in the simulated funded stage, a 35% consistency rule applies to both the Classic and Pro plans. This means that no single trading day’s profits can be equal to or greater than 35% of your total profits.

You will not be eligible to withdraw any profits if any single trading day accounts for 35% or more of your total profit. If you exceed this the account will not be breached, but you will have to trade and make more profits until you have made in each of your trading days less than 35% of total profits made.

For example: If you earn $10,000 in total profits, and make $4,500 in one day (more than 35%), you must continue trading and make additional profits until the profits of every trading day will be less then 35% of total profits.

The consistency rule resets after every payout, and will be calculated based on new trading profits made after each payout.

For each account size, there’s a set limit on the number of contracts you can buy or sell at any given time.

For Classic and PRO Evaluations:

  • For a $50,000 account, the maximum allowed size is 3 E-Mini Contracts or 30 Micro contracts.
  • For a $100,000 account, the maximum allowed size is 6 E-Mini Contracts or 60 Micro contracts.
  • For a $150,000 account, the maximum allowed size is 9 E-Mini Contracts or 90 Micro contracts.

No, there is no stop loss requirement. You are free to manage your trades according to your own risk management strategy. However, it is advisable to use a stop loss to manage your risk

We have risk management software that is synced with the accounts we create. This allows us to analyze your performance in real time for achievements or rule violations. As such, you must use an account that we provide to you.

Yes we do. By partnering with Magic Keys, Funding Frontier aims to provide our traders with comprehensive tools to enhance their trading strategies. Visit our Perks Page for the details.

For trading tips, guides and in-depth interviews of our best traders and their strategies to take your trading to the next level, visit our Blog or Videos section

It is possible to login from multiple devices provided they are all connected to the same network and location.

Please note that our risk management department is actively monitoring your IP and location.

If any potentially malicious activity is suspected on your account the use of multiple IP addresses will be a highly determining factor of whether you are considered to have violated our terms & conditions.

Pro Evaluation’s Benefits:

  • Easy Path: Highest drawdown in the industry, low profit targets and a End of Day Trailing drawdown.
  • Cash out Quickly: Enjoy Bi-Weekly payouts after just 5 profitable trading days, giving you the freedom to access your earnings any time.
  • No Activation Fee: Take advantage of a upfront cost with no activation fee.

Classic and PRO accounts use an End of Day Trailing Max Drawdown, which is calculated and based on the account balance at the end of the trading day.

This offers more flexibility during the trading day. Intraday fluctuations won’t affect the drawdown level, allowing you to hold positions with less risk of hitting the drawdown limit due to temporary losses.

For these accounts, we’ve implemented a 35% Consistency Rule to ensure consistent performance. This approach helps us identify traders committed to long-term success and consistency, rather than those relying on short-term, high-risk strategies.

By maintaining consistent trading habits, traders can better manage risk and achieve sustainable growth—aligning with our goal of fostering a stable and profitable trading environment.

At Funding Frontier, we want to give traders the opportunity to scale up without risking their own capital. Our evaluations are built by traders with years of market experience, designed to give a special opportunity to those who take on the challenge.

Parameter definitions:

1. Profit Target

This is the target you aim for to successfully pass your Funding Frontier Challenge! Reaching this target will bring you one step closer to your success.

2. Maximum Drawdown

This is the maximum allowable loss from the high water mark of your end of day balance, this serves as a limit to keep an eye on so you stay consistent and do not over risk on your positions.

3. End of Day Drawdown

This parameter is applicable on your Maximum Drawdown. As your account grows, your minimum allowable balance rises, creating a buffer to safeguard your gains.

If you increase your profit by $1.00, then your minimum account balance will also rise by $1.00. This mechanism ensures that traders are rewarded for positive performance by providing them with a cushion against potential future losses.

4. Consistency Rule

This rule keeps traders away from swinging from one strategy to another and staying with one risk model. It promotes steady and consistent trading habits.

5. Minimum Profitable Days

Some evaluations require a minimum number of profitable trading days, encouraging consistent trading over the evaluation period, and not just taking wild risks hoping for a lucky break.

Why do these parameters matter?

  1. Risk Management: Parameters like Maximum Drawdown, Daily Loss Limit, and EOD Drawdown support healthy risk management, keeping traders grounded during high-stakes moments.
  2. Goal Orientation: The Profit Target serves as a clear target, promoting strategic planning and forward-thinking.
  3. Consistent Trading: The Consistency Rule helps develop a stable trading approach, essential for building long-term success.

How to manage your trading to these parameters:

  1. Define Your Trades: Always have a plan by setting entry and exit points, along with stop-loss and take-profit levels, before entering a trade.
  2. Review Performance Regularly: Regularly check your account against the evaluation criteria. If you’re approaching the Daily Pause Limit, consider pausing for the day.
  3. Stay Updated: Track market news and events that could impact trading decisions, helping you stay prepared and informed when making trading decisions.

If you find to have any questions about our evaluation plans, please do not hesitate to reach out to our support team. They are dedicated to help you out 24/7, You can reach out via Live Chat, Our support email or create a ticket inside our Discord Community.

Are there differences in execution for different clients?

No, all clients receive the same trade execution conditions, direct from the liquidity provider, regardless of their phase in a challenge or their trading performance. We ensure fair trading conditions across the board. 

Does Funding Frontier charge a commission on some asset classes?

Yes, to accurately reflect real market conditions, Funding Frontier includes commissions when executing trades. These commissions align with market standards and help test your trading skills under realistic conditions. The commission structure is transparent and competitive, with details available on our website and trading platform.

Are hidden markups or added slippage applied by Funding Frontier?

No, Funding Frontier does not apply hidden markups or additional slippage. Trades are executed based on the pricing visible on the trading platform from the liquidity provider. Any slippage experienced is due to current market conditions, which we do not have control over. Slippage can be both positive and negative and is not preferentially applied.

Affiliates are credited for referrals when a user creates an account using a link or discount code provided by the Affiliate.

When trading a Funded Account for our firm, you are treated as an independent contractor. As a result, you are responsible for any and all taxes on your gains.

To become a Funding Frontier Funded Trader, you must successfully pass one of our Challenge programs.

We currently offer 3 programs:

An Instant Funding Challenge, 1-Step Challenge, and 2-Step Challenges.

You’ll start with a demo account with virtual capital, where you must meet our specific Trading Objectives and abide by the Rules. Enjoy superior trading conditions with low commissions and spreads through two leading trading platforms. Successfully meeting all the criteria allows you to advance to the next phase within the challenge.

In the next step or steps (depending on the challenge you choose), you’ll continue with a demo account to confirm your trading performance and consistency. The trading objectives become easier as you progress through each step of the evaluation. For a detailed explanation, please visit our How it Works page.

Upon passing the final phase of either challenge, your trading performance will be reviewed. If successful, you’ll be invited to become a funded trader with Funding Frontier. To finalise your account, you’ll need to provide identification documents (e.g., passport, national ID), complete our KYC process and contract in accordance with our internal policies.

Transition Between Evaluation Stages
After successfully passing each stage of the evaluation, allow 24-48 hours for our team to perform a manual review. This ensures all rules have been followed correctly. Once the review is complete, your account for the next phase of the challenge will be issued. Please note that this process is usually much quicker.
Review and Verification Process After Reaching the Profit Target
Once you hit the profit target in any of our models, your entire evaluation period will be manually reviewed by our Risk Team. This review is usually completed within 2-3 business days.
After the review, you’ll need to complete a KYC (Know Your Customer) process through your trader dashboard. This includes:
  • Uploading valid documents for verification,
  • Confirming your identity with a selfie,
  • Providing proof of address.
The KYC verification is quick and typically takes just a few minutes. Once approved by our partner, we’ll prepare a customer agreement for you. This agreement will be available on your trader dashboard for digital signature.
After you sign the agreement, we’ll process it and create your funded account, so you can start trading.
Important: Funding Frontier does not offer services to Syria, North Korea, Cuba and Iran.

After receiving your account details, you as a trader are required to place a trade on your account at least once every 30 days to ensure the account stays active. If this is not done, the account will be considered inactive and removed accordingly. This applies to both evaluation phase accounts and funded accounts.

In order to activate your account and be able to place a trade, you’ll need to complete these steps:

  1. Complete the KYC verification and sign the client agreement in your trader’s dashboard
  2. Once verified, your account will be activated and you’ll be able to place a trade.

You can download or access the trading platform through your dashboard at: https://dashboard.fundingfrontier.com

To sign up for a Funding Frontier challenge, follow these steps:

  1. Visit https://fundingfrontier.com/#challenges and choose your preferred program
  2. Configure your challenge options
  3. Follow the verification steps in your welcome email

After purchase, you’ll receive an email with your dashboard login details and instructions for account activation. Before you can begin trading, you’ll need to complete KYC verification and sign the client agreement through your trader’s dashboard. This is compulsory to activate the account.

The Daily Cap Limit is the maximum percentage of your starting balance that your crypto account can move in any given day. The Daily Cap Limit is calculated using the previous day’s equity, which resets at 5 PM EST. In the event that the assets in your account move in excess of 3% of your starting balance from your previous day’s equity in either direction, your positions will be closed out and your account will be locked until the start of the new trading day at 5 PM EST.  Example: For a 100k starting balance account, with a 3% Daily Cap. If the account finishes the day, with Equity at 101k, the next day’s limits will be 101k +/- 3k (i.e. 98k – 104k).

The Daily Cap Limit is the maximum percentage of your starting balance that your crypto account can move in any given day. The Daily Cap Limit is calculated using the previous day’s equity, which resets at 5 PM EST. In the event that the assets in your account move in excess of 3% of your starting balance from your previous day’s equity in either direction, your positions will be closed out and your account will be locked until the start of the new trading day at 5 PM EST. Example: For a 100k starting balance account, with a 3% Daily Cap. If the account finishes the day, with Equity at 101k, the next day’s limits will be 101k +/- 3k (i.e. 98k – 104k).

The Maximum Drawdown is initially set at 6% and is static and will therefore remain at the same value for as long as the account will remain active.

Example: If your starting balance is $100,000, you can drawdown to $94,000 before you would violate the Maximum Drawdown rule. Then for example let’s say you take your account to $102,000 in CLOSED BALANCE, your Maximum Drawdown would remain at $94,000. So, regardless of how high your account goes, your drawdown will remain the same.

The Maximum Drawdown is initially set at 9% and is static and will therefore remain at the same value for as long as the account will remain active.

Example: If your starting balance is $100,000, you can drawdown to $91,000 before you would violate the Maximum Drawdown rule. Then for example let’s say you take your account to $102,000 in CLOSED BALANCE, your Maximum Drawdown would remain at $91,000. So, regardless of how high your account goes, your drawdown will remain the same.

Upon receiving your confirmation of successful payment, you will receive your Trading Platform and Dashboard credentials within 5 minutes. However, for crypto payments the time taken to confirm your order depends on the network congestion and blockchain verification.

We have no maximum time limit to complete any challenge that we offer, however to give you an idea of minimum time it would take, the minimum trading day objectives are as follows:

1-Step Classic Challenge
We have a minimum trading day objective of three (3) trading days for each challenge phase, wherein a minimum of 1% profit must be made on each of these days.

2-Step Classic & Pro Challenges
We have a minimum trading day objective of three (3) trading days for each challenge phase, wherein a minimum of 0.50% profit must be made on each of these days.

A trading day is considered any day when at least 0.50% of profit is made for the day for 2-Step challenges and 1% of profit is made for the day for 1-Step Challenge. If a trade is held over multiple days, then the day when the trade was executed is considered as the trading day.

The same applies to each step in the Challenge, during which you must also trade for a minimum of the above mentioned trading days.

Remember, there is no maximum time limit. You can take your time to complete the challenge.

Be sure to read the comprehensive rules and trading objectives for each challenge.

Once you achieve the trading objectives for the final phase of the applicable challenge, our team will be notified and review your trading account. This can take a few hours.

When the review is completed, you will receive an email with instructions on how to access and complete your KYC and Trader Agreement.

Finally, after the agreement is completed and all documents provided, your Funded account will be created, funded, and issued to you. The overall process is typically completed within 24-48 business hours.

And then you’re off to the races!

Taking a Funding Frontier challenge is easy. We currently offer 4 programs, an Instant Funding Challenge, a 1-Step Classic Challenge, 2-Step Classic Challenge and a 2-Step Pro Challenge.

You can decide which program best suits you, and then configure the challenge to your preference.

Charges come across in the name of dashboardanalytix.com.

Our reputation is everything to us and it relies on the thousands of excellent reviews and testimonials we’ve received from all of our clients. We strongly encourage you to search for us on platforms like TrustPilot, Instagram, X and our YouTube channel to see for yourself.

Yes. We will consider you inactive and your account will be breached if you do not have any trading activity on your account for 30 consecutive days.

Funding Frontier does not place any limit on the number of accounts you can have during the Challenge phases. However, there is a maximum capital allocation limit when you become a Funding Frontier Funded Trader, which is $400,000 per trader, household or strategy at any given time.

Please note that obtaining multiple accounts through various registrations is not allowed. If we detect identically traded strategies across multiple accounts exceeding the $400,000 capital limit, we reserve the right to suspend those accounts as per our agreement.

To keep your account active, you must place at least one trade per thirty-day cycle (30) on your Account. Failing to meet this requirement may result in your account being marked as inactive and breached.

Vacation Notice: If you are planning to take a vacation or a break from trading, please contact our support staff to inform them of your situation.

Sometimes, during very illiquid periods, the markets can gap significantly. Any orders ‎placed at prices with no quotes will be filled at the next available price. This may result in ‎opening the trade at a less favourable price.‎ Slippage can occur at any time but is mostly relevant during periods of high volatility when ‎market orders are executed. This can also happen when a large market order is executed, but ‎there isn’t enough volume at the chosen price to execute the trade at the current market ‎price. Slippage can occur when there is a delay between the trade being ordered and when ‎it’s completed. Therefore, First Frontier does not guarantee to pay the profit for trades where significant ‎slippages occur on First Frontier’s corporate trading account.‎

How To Use Match Trader (Desktop):

How To Use Match Trader (Mobile):

The Maximum Daily Loss is the maximum amount a trader can lose within a single trading day. For this rule, the higher value between equity and balance at the start of the trading day will be used to calculate the limit.

The Maximum Daily Loss is set at 4% of the initial equity or balance at the start of the day.

This means that the equity for the day, which includes the sum of currently floating PnL (Profit and Loss) and all closed positions for that day, must not breach the Maximum Daily Loss Limit. This limit resets daily at 00:00 CE(S)T/server time.

Examples of How the Rule is Applied:

Scenario 1: Equity is higher than the balance at the start of the day

At the start of Day 3, your account balance is $105,000, and your equity is $107,000. The Daily Loss Limit is 4% of the equity (since it is higher): Daily Loss = $107,000 × 4% = $4,280

This means your equity cannot drop below: $107,000 – $4,280 = $102,720

If your equity falls below $102,720 at any moment on Day 3, your account will be breached.

Scenario 2: Balance is higher than the equity at the start of the day

At the start of Day 4, your account balance is $100,000, and your equity is $99,000. The Daily Loss Limit is 4% of the balance (since it is higher): Daily Loss = $100,000 × 4% = $4,000

This means your equity cannot drop below: $100,000 – $4,000 = $96,000

If your equity falls below $96,000 at any moment on Day 4, your account will be breached.

The Maximum Daily Loss is the amount the trader is allowed to lose every day. For the purpose of this rule, the higher value between equity and balance will be used.

Max daily loss is based on 3% of the initial account balance. We calculate the daily loss as follows: Upon the 5pm EST day change, we will take the higher figure of either the account balance or account equity and subtract a fixed 3% of the initial balance from the higher value as the daily loss limit for the new day.

Example 1: On a $50,000 Account, if at 5 pm EST you have an open trade with a floating profit of $1,000, your account equity will be $51,000.

With a 3% daily drawdown, the equity cannot drop below $49,500 ($51,000 – $1,500 = $49,500) on the next trading day.

Example 2: If on a $50,000 account at 5 pm EST you have an open trade with a floating loss of -$1,000, your account equity will be $49,000.

Because your $50K balance is higher than your $49,000 equity, your daily drawdown limit of $1,500 will be calculated on a $50,000 balance. This means for the next trading day, the equity cannot drop below $48,500 ($50,000 – $1,500 = $48,500).

Example 3: If there are no open trades at 5 pm EST, the daily drawdown will be 3% of whatever the closed balance is.

The Maximum Daily Loss is the maximum amount a trader can lose within a single trading day. For this rule, the higher value between equity and balance at the start of the trading day will be used to calculate the limit.

The Maximum Daily Loss is set at 3% of the initial equity or balance at the start of the day.

This means that the equity for the day, which includes the sum of currently floating PnL (Profit and Loss) and all closed positions for that day, must not breach the Maximum Daily Loss Limit. This limit resets daily at 00:00 CE(S)T/server time.

Examples of How the Rule is Applied:

Scenario 1: Equity is higher than the balance at the start of the day

At the start of Day 3, your account balance is $105,000, and your equity is $107,000. The Daily Loss Limit is 3% of the equity (since it is higher): Daily Loss = $107,000 × 3% = $3,210

This means your equity cannot drop below: $107,000 – $3,210 = $103,790

If your equity falls below $103,790 at any moment on Day 3, your account will be breached.

Scenario 2: Balance is higher than the equity at the start of the day

At the start of Day 4, your account balance is $100,000, and your equity is $99,000. The Daily Loss Limit is 3% of the balance (since it is higher): Daily Loss = $100,000 × 3% = $3,000

This means your equity cannot drop below: $100,000 – $3,000 = $97,000

If your equity falls below $97,000 at any moment on Day 4, your account will be breached.

The Maximum Daily Loss is the maximum amount a trader can lose within a single trading day. For this rule, the higher value between equity and balance will be used to calculate the limit. The Maximum Daily Loss is set at 3% of the initial equity or balance at the start of the day.

This means that the equity for the day, which includes the sum of currently floating PnL (Profit and Loss) and all closed positions for that day, must not breach the Maximum Daily Loss Limit. This limit is reset daily at 00:00 CE(S)T/server time.

Here are examples of how the rule is applied:

Scenario 1: Equity is higher than the balance at the start of the day

At the start of day 3, your account balance is $105,000, and your equity is $107,000. The Daily Loss Limit is 3% of the equity because it is higher: Daily loss = $107,000 * 3% = $3,210 Daily Loss Limit.

This means your equity can’t go below $107,000 – $3,210. Daily Loss Limit = $103,790 on day 3.

If your equity goes below $103,790 at any moment on day 3, your account will be closed.

Scenario 2: Balance is higher than the equity at the start of the day

At the start of day 4, your account balance is $100,000, and your equity is $99,000. The Daily Loss Limit is 3% of the balance because it is higher: Daily loss = $100,000 * 3% = $3,000 Daily Loss Limit.

This means your equity can’t go lower than $100,000 – $3,000. Daily Loss Limit = $97,000 on day 4.

If your equity goes below $97,000 at any moment on day 4, your account will be closed.

You can have a maximum drawdown of 10% per challenge phase.

The Maximum drawdown is the maximum amount that your account can drawdown before you would hard breach your account.

For example, if your initial account balance is $10k and you have a max drawdown of 10%, then your maximum loss value will remain at $9,000 for the duration of your challenge. This is applicable to both account balance and equity.

Secure Balance Drawdown

The Secure Balance Drawdown limits your maximum loss to 6% of your starting balance and moves up as your account grows.

Once you reach a 6% profit, the drawdown locks at your starting balance, and any extra profit becomes a buffer.

Withdrawals don’t affect your drawdown or high-water mark.

Example — $100,000 Account
  • Start at $100,000, drawdown = $94,000

  • Grow to $102,000 → drawdown = $96,000

  • Withdraw $1,000 → balance = $101,000, drawdown stays $96,000

  • Grow to $104,000 → drawdown = $98,000

  • Grow to $106,000 → drawdown locks at $100,000 permanently

If your equity falls below the drawdown level, the account will be closed for risk management.

You can have a maximum drawdown of 8% per challenge phase.

The Maximum drawdown is the maximum amount that your account can drawdown before you would hard breach your account.

For example, if your initial account balance is $10k and you have a max drawdown of 8%, then your maximum loss value will remain at $9,200 for the duration of your challenge. This is applicable to both account balance and equity.

The Maximum drawdown is the maximum amount that your equity or balance can’t go below before you would hard breach your account.

For example, if your initial account balance is $100 000 and you have a max drawdown of 6%, then your maximum loss value will remain at $94 000 for the duration of your challenge. This is applicable to both account balance and equity.

The Maximum End of Day (EOD) Trailing Drawdown is a risk management rule that helps protect your profits. It adjusts at the end of each trading day based on your highest daily balance. This means you can trade freely during the day without worrying about your drawdown limit changing until the day is over.

How It Works:

The EOD Trailing Drawdown updates only at the end of each trading day. If your balance at the close is higher than any previous day, the drawdown level moves up to match it.

During the day (intraday), the drawdown stays the same — it doesn’t go down even if your balance does. It only moves at the end of a day when you hit a new high.

The trailing EOD drawdown will stop and lock at the initial balance of the challenge after either: reaching the maximum drawdown percentage in profits, or after the first payout request.

If a trader successfully completes the 5 minimum profitable trading days before reaching the required profit percentage to adjust the drawdown, the drawdown will still lock at the initial balance, but only after the first payout request.

Example:

Initial Capital: $100,000
EOD Trailing Drawdown: 4% ($4,000)
Minimum Balance: $96,000

Day 1:

Trader makes $3,000 profit.
Account increases to $103,000.
New drawdown limit is raised to $99,000.

Day 2:
Trader loses $2,000.
Account decreases to $101,000.
The drawdown limit remains at $99,000, leaving $1,000 of drawdown remaining.

Day 3:
Trader gains another $3,000, bringing the balance to $104,000.

At this point, the account has reached a 4% profit, and the EOD trailing drawdown locks at the initial balance of $100,000.

From this point onward, your profits are secured, and the drawdown will no longer trail further down.

What Happens If You Hit the Maximum EOD Trailing Drawdown?

If your account balance drops below the locked EOD drawdown by the end of the trading day, your positions will be liquidated, and trading will stop for that phase. To resume trading, you will need to reset the account or start a new challenge.

For the purpose of all calculations, the end of day is defined as 16:00 CST.

The Maximum Lot Size is a rule that limits the number of lots you can open on any single trade idea. This is designed to promote responsible trading and protect both your account and the firm’s capital.

The maximum number of allowed lots is as follows:

Account SizeMax Lots
$5K1 lot
$10K2 lots
$20K4 lots
$50K10 lots
$100K20 lots

If you fail to adhere to the max lot size on a trade or position, our system will automatically detect this and close any position that exceeds the max lot size limit. In addition to this, you will also receive a warning email. This is only considered a soft breach rule, so you will be able to continue trading your account. The profits made will be deducted prior to you being able to proceed to the next phase of the funding program. You are allowed 2 soft breaches, and the third breach is considered a hard breach. Learn more about the difference between a Soft Breach and a Hard Breach.

Do note, margin and leverage requirements still apply. So, even though these are the maximum lots that can be traded, it is possible based on the leverage of the account that you may not be able to trade up to the maximum depending on the specific trade.

There is no maximum lot size rule on the instant funding evaluation.

At Funding Frontier, we prioritize enabling traders to access their earnings efficiently, supporting them in reaching their financial objectives. Our payout structure is designed with flexibility and simplicity in mind, ensuring a seamless experience for traders to withdraw their profits.

Payout Requirements for Classic and Pro Accounts

For Classic and Pro Funded Accounts, the payout criteria ensure traders demonstrate consistent profitability:

  • Trading Days Requirement: Complete 5 profitable trading days (of 0.50% of the account starting balance) each within at least 14 calendar days in the funded phase.
  • Minimum Profit Requirements:
    • 50K Account: $250 profit per day
    • 100K Account: $500 profit per day
    • 150K Account: $750 profit per day

Once these requirements are met, traders can request a payout if they are in profit. Following a payout request, the maximum drawdown adjusts to the account’s starting balance.

Consistency and Withdrawal Limits

  • 35% Consistency Rule: No single trading day’s profit can exceed 35% of total profits.
  • Buffer Zone Requirement: The 2% profit buffer defines when you can begin making withdrawals. Traders must first achieve a profit of at least 2% on their starting balance before becoming eligible to withdraw. The first 2% remains in the account as a buffer to protect capital, and only profits above this level can be withdrawn. Example: On a $100,000 account, once the balance reaches $102,000, the first $2,000 remains as a buffer, and any additional gains can be requested for withdrawal.
  • You must meet the minimum profitable days and consistency requirement to qualify for a withdrawal.

Withdrawal Caps per Request on Classic Accounts are:

  • 50K Starter Account: $1,200
  • 100K Starter Account: $2,500
  • 150K Starter Account: $3,500

For Pro Accounts, withdrawal caps are:

All accounts have a 80% payout split.

Payout Processing

  • Payouts are processed within 48 hours.
  • Requests are accepted Monday to Friday before 3PM CST
  • Payouts will be processed through Riseworks or crypto

At Funding Frontier, we’re committed to creating a fair and transparent space where traders can build their skills with honesty and confidence. We know that trading in a simulated environment is different from trading live, and some strategies that work in simulations might not succeed in real markets.

To keep things fair and high-quality for everyone, we’ve set clear rules about what kinds of trading are allowed. Our goal is to help traders grow, learn, and get ready for real-world trading. While we support creative strategies, some approaches just don’t fit with our mission — especially those that take unfair advantage of the simulated setup or go against ethical trading standards.

Understanding Simulated trading environments

Some trading strategies can take advantage of the simulated fill algorithm, leading to strong performance during the evaluation phase but ultimately resulting in losses when moved to live environments. A small number of traders, either unknowingly or with intent to game the system, may use these strategies, which are strictly prohibited at Funding Frontier.

1. Automated Trading Protocols

At Funding Frontier (FF), we enforce rigorous guidelines to uphold a fair and transparent trading environment in automated trading:

  • Automated Scalping: FF limits the use of automated systems designed for ultra-high-frequency scalping, particularly systems that exceed 200 trades per day.
  • Automated Tools: AI, bots, and other fully automated trading mechanisms are strictly prohibited across all account types.
  • Semi-Automated Trading: Allowed only if traders actively monitor and manually manage trades, fully understanding the system’s purpose and limitations.
  • Automated Behaviour: Fully hands-off, continuous, day-and-night trading or any type of complete automation is strictly forbidden.

2. Order Management and Market Conduct

Funding Frontier prioritizes ethical trading practices and responsible order management to support a stable trading environment:

  • Order Placement: Placing multiple limit orders at the same price to manipulate order fills is strictly prohibited.
  • Gapped or Illiquid Market Trading: Trading strategies aimed at exploiting isolated fills in low-liquidity or gapped markets are not permitted.
  • Slippage and Bracket Exploitation: Using tight brackets or taking advantage of the simulated market’s absence of slippage to gain favourable fills is forbidden.
  • Economic Data Trading: Trading during tier 1 economic data releases is restricted to maintain stability.
  • Compliance with CME Group: All trading activity must comply with CME Group rules and regulations.
  • Collaborative Trading: Coordinated trading with others to execute identical or opposing strategies across unconnected accounts is not allowed.
  • Hedging or reverse trading: Hedging and reverse trading cannot be conducted using different accounts, multiple users, or within the same challenge.
  • Multiple Countries Access: Traders accessing their accounts from multiple countries (e.g., a trader logging in from the USA and then Vietnam) may be flagged for potential account sharing or unauthorized account management.
  • IP sharing: Multiple accounts belonging to different traders using the same IP address is prohibited.
  • Copy Trading: Copying trades from other traders’ accounts is prohibited. However, you are allowed to copy trades between your own accounts without any restrictions.
  • Collaborative Trading: Coordinating with others to execute the same or opposite strategies across multiple accounts, often known as “Group Trading,” is not allowed. Each trader should trade independently.

3. Policy Violations and Consequences

Funding Frontier (FF) enforces strict consequences for policy violations to protect the integrity of our trading environment:

  • Termination: FF reserves the right to terminate agreements immediately if a trader violates policies.
  • Profit Confiscation: Profits obtained through prohibited trading practices will be confiscated.
  • Evaluation Review: All passed evaluations are subject to review. Traders found to be in breach of policies will not be funded and may be ineligible for refunds.

Scalping vs. Microscalping

At Funding Frontier, we differentiate between scalping, which is an accepted and legitimate strategy, and microscalping, which is restricted due to its unrealistic behaviour in simulated environments.

Scalping (Allowed)

Scalping involves holding trades for a short period — often seconds to a few minutes — and targeting small but reasonable profit margins (typically 5–10 points or more depending on the instrument).

It requires focus, speed, and skill, and can be a viable trading style in both simulated and live market conditions.

Microscalping

Microscalping is an extremely aggressive subset of scalping. It typically involves:

  • Holding trades for only a few seconds
  • Executing a very high number of trades
  • Aiming for minimal profit margins (often 5 points or less, or even fractions of a point)

Because this behaviour can exploit simulated fill algorithms, it is restricted.

Our Futures plans operate on a monthly subscription model, with recurring monthly payments applying to both the Evaluation and Sim Funded phases.

At Funding Frontier, we emphasize fairness and transparency in our policies. Below is a clear outline of our refund and cancellation terms:

Refunds Post-Purchase

Once a purchase has been completed and evaluation credentials have been sent to the customer, refunds are no longer available under any circumstances. All sales are final.

Acceptance of this Policy

It is the trader’s responsibility to review and understand this Refund Policy. The terms of this Refund Policy, along with our Evaluation Terms and Conditions, form part of the trader’s contract with us for purchasing a Funding Frontier Evaluation.

By placing an order for a Funding Frontier Evaluation, the trader confirms they have read, understood, and agreed to the terms of this Refund Policy. Traders who do not agree with these terms are not permitted to place an order with Funding Frontier.

Account Cancellation

How to Cancel: To cancel your account, please send an email to support@fundingfrontier.com.

Implications of Cancellation: Upon cancellation, access to all Funding Frontier services will be terminated, and no refunds will be provided for any prior payments. If the user requests their subscription to be cancelled on demand, the underlying account will automatically be breached.

Funding Frontier’s Right to Terminate

Funding Frontier reserves the right to terminate accounts and contracts if there are any breaches of our Terms and Conditions (TAC). Such actions may result in account deactivation, forfeiture of funds, and potential restrictions from future services.

Our system is designed to automatically detect any rule breaches. However, our risk team also performs manual checks at key stages, such as the end of each phase and before payouts. If any breaches that were not automatically detected are found during these manual reviews, they will still apply.

The spreads we use are very competitive, and it is usually between 1-2 pips on ‎average. Different market conditions and liquidity can cause spreads to vary accordingly. At high ‎volatility events, such as during high-impact economic releases, the spreads can widen. ‎At the end of each day, between 10 PM & midnight UK Time, the banks move vast ‎amounts of orders from the current day to the following day while there is less liquidity. This may cause spreads to be ‎significantly increased. Therefore, it is advisable to widen stop losses during these times to ‎avoid unwanted execution of nearby orders due to technicalities.‎

Gambling Behavior

Trading is driven by emotions rather than rational analysis, similar to gambling. Traders may pursue losses, make impulsive trades, or display addictive tendencies, leading to negative trading outcomes.

Futures Trading Hours and Guidelines

Trading Hours:

Futures trading operates from 6:00 PM EST to 5:00 PM EST the following day. For example, if the Futures market opens at 6:00 PM EST on Monday, the trading session will run until 5:00 PM EST on Tuesday, marking the close of that day’s session.

New Trading Day Start:

A new trading day begins at 6:00 PM EST. Trades can be placed at this time to start the next day’s session.

Market Closures:

The Futures market is closed from Friday at 5:00 PM EST until Sunday at 6:00 PM EST. There may also be scheduled closures for holidays, which will be announced in advance.

What is an Account Reset?

An account reset is a manual action you take to restore your trading account to it’s original state, whether it’s breached or not. This option is ideal if you are seeking a fresh start without waiting for the next billing cycle.

When you reset an account:

  1. Your account balance is restored to its initial balance.
  2. Your progress starts over, including any gains or losses accumulated.

A reset does not extend the life of your evaluation account. It restores its condition while keeping the same date tied to your current billing cycle.

What is an Account Renewal?

A renewal happens automatically every 30 days unless you cancel your account before the next billing date. Renewal ensures uninterrupted access to your evaluation and funded account, allowing you to continue trading.

When your account renews:

  1. Your subscription is extended for another 30 days.
  2. Your evaluation progress remains intact, if the account is not in breached status. Gains and losses carry over.
  3. If the evaluation account is in breached status at the time of the billing, it will be automatically reactivated and its balance will be restored to its initial balance.
  4. If the user requests to cancel the subscription on demand, the underlying account will automatically be breached.

You are not allowed to hold trades over the weekend on the instant funding account.

Our spreads are very competitive and are usually less than 1 pip during normal market conditions on most forex pairs and gold. Naturally, spreads do increase during high impact news and period of volatility and traders should be aware of this and factor this into their trading decisions. Current market conditions and factors will determine the spreads at the time.

Trading hours are set by the cryptocurrency exchange or Liquidity Provider(s) and are generally open 24 hours. We do not have any control over the trading hours.

Please note that holidays can have an impact on available trading hours.

Our dedicated support team is on stand-by to assist you in any way we can. You can reach out to us in multiple ways:

A breach means that you violated the Max Drawdown rule. In the event you have a breach, you will fail the Assessment or have your Funded Account taken away.

Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, traders from all countries, excluding OFAC listed countries, can take part in our program, unless otherwise limited at the Company’s discretion.

We accept clients from most countries, with a few exceptions due to regulatory restrictions: We are currently not accepting clients from Syria, North Korea, Cuba and Iran.

You will trade with the same account balance as in your Funding Frontier Challenge. For example, if you traded with $200,000 in the challenge, your Funding Frontier Account will also have $200,000.
To best serve our clients, trading in all stages of the cooperation between Funding Frontier and the client is via a demo account.
To avoid any confusion, please keep in mind that a Funded Account is a simulated account with real market quotes from liquidity providers. 

Traders are entitled to up to 80% of the profits generated on a Funding Frontier Account.
If you want to trade with a higher account balance, you can apply for another Funding Frontier Challenge. Each challenge must be completed from the beginning, even if you have passed one before. We allow a maximum capital allocation of $400,000 per trader, household or strategy at any given time. This can be structured as two accounts with $200,000 each, or four accounts with $100,000 each, and so on. Be careful not to create multiple accounts under different registrations. If we detect identical trading strategies across accounts exceeding the $400,000 capital limit, we reserve the right to suspend those accounts according to our agreement.
If you are consistently profitable, we can allocate additional capital through our Scaling Plan.

Once you achieve the trading objectives for the final phase of a challenge, our team will be notified and review your trading account.

When the review is completed, you will receive an email with instructions on how to access and complete your KYC and Trader Agreement.

Finally, after the agreement is completed and all documents have been provided, your Funded account will be created and issued to you.

At Funding Frontier, you can trade a wide variety of instruments across different markets. This includes forex, indices, commodities, stocks, and cryptocurrencies.

A “trade idea” refers to any trade or set of trades involving the same instrument. For instance, if you open multiple positions on the same instrument (e.g., XAU/USD), these positions are collectively considered one trade idea

What is Order Book Spamming?

Order book spamming is the practice of submitting numerous small orders into the order book to create a deceptive picture of market activity. This tactic can manipulate the market, offer certain traders undue advantages, and place a heavy burden on trading systems.

Why is Order Book Spamming Prohibited?

Unfair Advantage: Traders employing this strategy can gain an undeserved edge, especially in a simulated trading environment where the consequences are less severe than in live trading. This compromises the fairness and integrity of the trading platform.

System Strain: A high volume of orders can overload trading platforms, leading to delays and negatively impacting market stability and efficiency. This can result in slower response times and diminished performance for all users.

Example of Order Book Spamming:

A trader might submit numerous small orders (e.g., 0.1 lots) within a short timeframe instead of placing a single larger order (e.g., 1 lot). This behavior can be viewed as an attempt to manipulate the price feed in a simulated environment.

Soft Breach:
A soft breach means that all trades that violated the rule will not be counted. You can continue trading your Assessment or Funded account despite soft breaches. Soft breaches are carried cumulatively across all stages of the evaluation and funded accounts. If a trader accumulates 2 soft breaches, they may continue trading; however, the third soft breach will be considered a hard breach. Annexure C: Risk Management Policies & Guidelines will be applicable.

Hard Breach:
A hard breach occurs when you violate either the Daily Loss Limit or the Max Trailing Drawdown rule. In the event of a hard breach, you will fail the Assessment or have your Funded account revoked.

Also see Breach Notifications.

Additionally, and before any Trader shall receive a funded account, the trading activity of the Trader under these Terms and Conditions shall be reviewed by both the Company and the Liquidity Provider to determine whether such trading activity constitutes Prohibited Trading.

Additionally, the Company reserves the right to disallow or block any Trader from participating in the program for any reason, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion.
