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.
2-Step Standard evaluation, 5% daily
Evaluation
No news window on this phaseDaily loss verified
News
Evaluation has no news-window restriction on holding or managing trades. FundingPips still prohibits purposely trading news in both evaluation and the master account. A timestamp cannot prove intent, so this check does not flag evaluation trades for news.
Daily loss
Daily loss is 5% of the higher of opening balance or opening equity, including floating loss. Reset is 00:00 platform time (UTC+3).
- The 2-Step page lists daily loss as 3% or 5%, depending on the configuration you bought. This preset is the 5% configuration. The 3% daily-loss add-on is a separate preset.
- The baseline is day-start balance or equity, whichever is higher. This check uses the account size you type, because the file does not contain that snapshot.
- Overnight and weekend holding are allowed on this evaluation. A weekend gap that pushes the account past its max loss is a valid breach. This check does not score overnight or weekend holds.

2-Step Standard master, 5% daily
Funded
Window verified, event list unverifiedDaily loss verified
News
On the master account, profits from trades opened or closed within 5 minutes before or after restricted high-impact news on the affected currency can be deducted. Trades opened at least 5 hours before the event may be closed inside the window. This is a soft breach, not an automatic account close.
Daily loss
Daily loss is 5% of the higher of opening balance or opening equity. Reset is 00:00 UTC+3.
- The 2-Step page lists daily loss as 3% or 5%, depending on the configuration you bought. This preset is the 5% configuration. The 3% daily-loss add-on is a separate preset.
- FundingPips uses the Restricted tag on their own dashboard calendar. This check uses Forex Factory high-impact events as a stand-in, so the event match is unverified.
- A partial close inside the window can flag the whole order on their side. The export usually shows that as a separate close.
- Overnight and weekend holding are not allowed on this Master account unless the Swing add-on was bought at purchase. The same restriction applies to Master accounts on 1-Step Flex, 2-Step Flex, and 2-Step Pro. Open trades are closed by the system each day: 20:45–21:00 UTC in summer time, from the first Sunday of March, and 21:45–22:00 UTC in winter time, from the first Sunday of November. From 1 Nov 2026 the auto-close window is 21:45–22:00 UTC. A system auto-close is not a breach. This check does not score overnight or weekend holds.
