FUTURES FUNDED ACCOUNT RULES
Congratulations — you have passed the Fewpips Future Based CFDs - 1-Step evaluation. This document
governs your funded account phase. Having demonstrated consistent, disciplined trading through the
evaluation process, you are now entitled to wider risk parameters and a higher withdrawal cap than the
Instant Account model.
These rules are designed to:
-
Protect traders and simulated capital: By enforcing risk limits that reflect proven trading discipline, we
support long-term growth and professional performance.
-
Maintain fairness: Prohibited practices — such as latency trading, copy trading, and one-sided betting —
remain banned in the funded phase. Passing the evaluation does not change these standards.
-
Replicate real futures conditions: The trailing drawdown model and contract expiry rules continue to mirror
the environment of professional futures trading.
Resets are not available on the funded account. If the funded account is breached, it will be disabled. The
trader would need to re-purchase and pass the 1-Step challenge to regain funded status.

Fewpips Future Based CFDs — 1-Step Funded Account Rules
-
Maximum Daily Loss Limit — 3% of starting day balance.
-
Maximum Total Loss — 5% trailing drawdown from highest historical balance.
-
Minimum Trading Days — 5 days per cycle.
-
No profit target — evaluation already passed.
-
Consistency Rule — No single trading day may exceed 40% of total cycle profit.
1. Daily Loss Rule
The Daily Loss Limit is calculated using the formula:
Start-of-day balance minus the lowest floating equity of the day must not exceed the allowed percentage. This
rule applies to both open (floating) and closed trades.
Daily Loss Limit — Future Based CFDs - 1-Step Funded Account: 3% of starting day balance.
Example (Future Based CFDs - 1-Step Funded Account, $50,000 account):
The daily loss limit is 3%, which equals $1,500.
If the trader starts the day at $50,000, they cannot lose more than $1,500 in total that day.
If the trader first makes a $500 profit, the daily floor adjusts accordingly.
If the total loss reaches the limit, including open trades, the account will be breached.
Example Visual:
Start: $50,000 → Low: $48,700 → Loss: $1,300 → OK
Start: $50,000 → Low: $48,400 → Loss: $1,600 → Violation
2. Maximum Total Loss — Trailing Drawdown
The Maximum Total Loss is a trailing drawdown referenced to the highest historical balance reached by the
account, not the starting balance. The floor only ever moves up — it never falls back down, even when the
balance drops.
Maximum Total Loss — Future Based CFDs - 1-Step Funded Account: 5% trailing from highest historical balance.
How it works:
-
The drawdown floor = highest historical balance × (1 − 5%).
-
Every time the balance exceeds its previous high, the floor rises proportionally.
-
Once the floor rises, it never goes back down — even if the balance subsequently drops.
Example (Future Based CFDs - 1-Step Funded Account, $50,000 account, 5% trailing drawdown):
Starting balance $50,000 → floor = $50,000 × 95% = $47,500.
Balance rises to $52,000 → new floor = $52,000 × 95% = $49,400.
Balance rises to $55,000 → new floor = $55,000 × 95% = $52,250.
Balance drops to $53,000 → floor stays at $52,250 (does not go back down).
If balance drops to $52,249 → account violated.
Having passed the evaluation, the 1-Step Funded Account is rewarded with slightly wider parameters (3% / 5%)
compared to the Instant Account (2% / 4%). This reflects the demonstrated discipline required to pass the
challenge phase.
3. Minimum Trading Days
Future Based CFDs - 1-Step Funded Account: 5 minimum active trading days per cycle. Days do not need to be
consecutive.
Trades can be held open for however long the trader chooses. However, to qualify as an active trading day, at
least 1 trade must be held open for 3 minutes or more. Trades held open for less than 3 minutes will not count
toward the minimum trading day requirement.
4. Consistency Rule
No single trading day's profit may exceed 40% of the total profit for the current cycle.
Having passed the 1-Step evaluation, the funded account benefits from a more generous consistency threshold
(40%) compared to the Instant Account (25%). This reflects the proven risk discipline demonstrated during the
challenge phase.
If this threshold is exceeded, the trader must continue trading to grow total profit until the flagged day
represents 40% or less.
Example (Future Based CFDs - 1-Step Funded Account, $50,000 account):
If total cycle profit is $1,000, no single day can exceed $400.
If a trader earns $500 in one day, that day is flagged as inconsistent.
The trader must continue trading to grow total profit until that day represents 40% or less of the new total.
5. News Trading Policy
Trading is prohibited 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after high-impact news events. This applies to all cycles.
Restricted events include: FOMC, NFP, CPI, and interest rate decisions.
6. EAs & Bots
Expert Advisors (EAs) and automated bots are NOT permitted on the Future Based CFDs - 1-Step Funded Account. All
trading must be executed manually by the registered account holder.
7. Prohibited Activities
The following practices are strictly forbidden. Violations result in immediate account breach:
-
Latency scalping / HFT / tick scalping — Exploiting server execution delays or price feed latency is not a
legitimate trading strategy.
-
Copy trading & managed accounts — Each account must be operated exclusively by the registered account holder.
-
Third-party operation — Including real-time signals where a third party makes entry or exit decisions.
-
Hedging between accounts — Placing offsetting positions across multiple Fewpips accounts is prohibited.
-
Extreme martingale & grid strategies — Strategies that exponentially increase position size to recover losses
are prohibited.
-
One-sided betting — Placing oversized directional bets without structured risk management.
-
Multiple IPs without justification — Connections from different countries or anonymous IPs without prior
explanation are a red flag and subject to review.
-
Feed exploitation — Use of outdated, external, or manipulated price feeds.
8. Allowed Instruments
The Future Based CFDs - 1-Step Funded Account uses the Feed -F series of futures-based CFDs, including:
US30-F, US500-F, NAS100-F, GER40-F, UK100-F, XAUUSD-F, XAGUSD-F, Brent-F, Crude-F and others.
These instruments replicate real futures prices without overnight swap. They are not real contracts from CME,
NYMEX, or any other regulated exchange.
9. Contract Expiry
All Future Based CFD instruments carry real expiry dates. Traders are responsible for monitoring contract expiry
and closing or rolling positions before expiration. The Company is not liable for losses resulting from failure
to manage contract expiry.
-
Feed -F instruments carry rolling quarterly expiration managed by the provider.
-
Positions held through an expiry date may be forcibly closed at the prevailing market price.
10. Rule Enforcement
-
All rules apply to both open (floating) and closed trades.
-
The system always uses the lowest equity point of the day for daily loss rule checks.
-
Violations immediately breach the account. There is no grace period.
-
All payouts and results are subject to ex-post review. Fewpips reserves the right to audit any account before
processing a withdrawal.
11. Account Inactivity
Funded accounts with no trading activity for 14 consecutive calendar days will be automatically cancelled
and deactivated. A single executed trade within the 14-day window resets this timer.
12. Account Limit per Trader
Each trader may hold a maximum of 3 simultaneous Future Based CFD accounts, regardless of model.
Trades can be held open for however long the trader chooses. To qualify as an active trading day, at least
1 trade must be held open for 3 minutes or more.
13. Position Limits
Position limits per instrument and/or account size are currently pending definitions. Clients will be notified
via the website and platform communications once confirmed.

and reset the cycle, or invalidate the payout request for that cycle.

A Trading Cycle is the performance window required for payout eligibility.
-
The cycle begins automatically the moment the Client places their first trade in the funded account, or
following a prior payout.

determines whether a day qualifies as active.

this threshold is exceeded, the trader must continue trading to grow total profit until the flagged day falls
within the permitted percentage.
