Rules we check

Each preset is a specific phase, not the whole firm. Anything we could not confirm on the firm's own page is marked unverified on that page and on the report.

• FTMO

  News execution is restricted on standard FTMO Accounts. Challenge, Verification, and Swing accounts are exempt from that window. Daily loss is an equity limit reset at midnight Prague time.

• FundingPips

  Master accounts deduct news profits inside a short window. Zero accounts treat the window as a hard breach, including holds. On 2-Step Standard, daily loss is 5%, or 3% with the daily-loss add-on. The baseline is the higher of the day's opening balance or equity, reset at 00:00 platform time (UTC+3). On Master accounts for 1-Step Flex, 2-Step Standard, 2-Step Flex, and 2-Step Pro, overnight and weekend holding are not allowed without the Swing add-on. From 1 Nov 2026 the funded auto-close is 21:45–22:00 UTC.
