SCHEDULE

2. THE FUNDED PROGRAM PHASES
2.1. The Assessment Phase. The Assessment Phase is the first stage of the FTP, where it is provided for the practical part of your educational journey to become a professional trader. During this stage, you must show a consistently profitable trading performance for the period of the assessment specified by us while meeting all the risk management policies.
2.2. The Portfolio Asset Manager Phase. The Portfolio Asset Manager Phase is the phase where the trader has met all the trading requirements and passed the Assessment Phase. During this phase, the trader will be fully qualified, and we provide you with access to our TPV’s own capital.
3. THE FUNDED TRADER PROGRAM RULES EXPLAINED
3.1. We expect you to follow the risk management guidelines and policies over strategy. Below are the definitions, rules and examples of components of the FTP:
3.2. The Profit Target (In $ USD) Objectives
3.2.1. At each stage of the program, the target is defined in terms of net USD amount and not in %.
3.2.2. All the trading costs, spreads, commissions, overnight swaps will be deducted when calculating the profits target.
3.2.3. Any profits made by a violation of the risk policies will also be deducted from the final profit target upon passing the assessment. In this case, the profit target will be extended by the amount of the profit made by risk policies violation.
3.2.4. Assessment Phase
3.2.4.1. The Profit Target in $ for the $2,500 Assessment Funded Account is $175.00 (Equivalent to 7%).
3.2.4.2. The Profit Target in $ for the $10,000 Assessment Funded Account is $700.00 (Equivalent to 7%).
3.2.4.3. The Profit Target in $ for the $15,000 Assessment Funded Account is $1050.00 (Equivalent to 7%).
3.2.5. Portfolio Asset Manager Phase
3.2.5.1. The Profit Targets for All Portfolio Asset Managers is equivalent to 10% of the initial account balance of each phase.
3.2.5.2. At each stage of the program, the target is defined in terms of net $ amount and NOT in %.
3.2.5.3. The Symbol % is for reference only to summarise all Profit Targets for all levels.
3.3. The Profit Share Split %
3.3.1. Assessment Phase. During the Assessment Phase, the funded trader takes home 50% profit share paid at the end of the assessment.
3.3.2. Portfolio Asset Managers Phases During these phases, the funded trader takes home 60% profit share at any time the funded trader requests a withdrawal once they have achieved at least 2% and a minimum of 10 Active Trading Days.
3.4. Profit Withdrawals
3.4.1. Any profits made as a result of a violation of the risk policies will be deducted from the final profit target upon passing the Assessment Phase. In this case, the profit target will be extended by the amount of the profit made by the risk policies violation.
3.4.2. When the funded trader fails the Assessment Phase in profit, then no profit share will be paid.
3.5. Withdrawal Process
3.5.1. All payments out of profit are made using wise (Formerly TransferWise).
3.5.2. Exchange rate fees, bank fees or processing charges will be deducted before any profit is paid.
3.5.3. All the trading costs, spreads, commissions, overnight swaps will be deducted when calculating the profits target.
3.5.4. If any Slippage occurs, then it will also be deducted from the profit payments. Forex slippage occurs when a market order is executed, or a stop loss closes the position at a different rate than set in the order. Slippage is more likely to occur in the forex market when volatility is high, perhaps due to news events, or during times when the currency pair is trading outside peak market hours.
3.5.5. Assessment Phase
3.5.5.1. We will pay the net profits to the funded trader, once s/he achieves the milestone profit target $, in one lump sum payment at the end of the assessment.
3.5.5.2. If the funded trader fails the assessment with a profit, then no profit share payment will be paid.
3.5.6. Portfolio Asset Managers Phases
3.5.6.1. We will pay net profits $ to the Portfolio Asset Manager as long as s/he has made 2% of their PAM profit target and a minimum of 10 Active Trading Days.
3.5.6.2. All Portfolio Asset Manager Phases profits are paid out during the 1st week of the month.
3.5.6.3. Any open trades are unrealised profit or loss. They are not taken into consideration unless they have been closed before the last day of the month.
3.5.6.4. If the trader makes no profit in a given month, no profit will be paid until the trader recovers the losses from the previous month and reaches a new high watermark profit.
3.5.6.5. In order to withdraw, the Portfolio Asset Manager has to send an email to us requesting a withdrawal once they have met the conditions; otherwise, we will assume that the Portfolio Asset Manager wants to leave his/her profit share in the account.
3.5.6.6. The Portfolio Asset Manager will specify to us how much s/he wishes to withdraw and how much profit to leave in the account.
3.5.6.7. Any 60% profits share paid out to the Portfolio Asset Managers is deducted from the account balance.
3.5.6.8. We will also withdraw 40% share of profits every time the funded trader requests a withdrawal. However, the withdrawal will not affect the account growth, and it does not require the funded trader to compensate for the profit withdrawn.
Example: Suppose the funded trader passes the $10k Assessment and is now a Portfolio Asset Manager on the $40K funded account. In that case, they will have a profit target of $4,000 (10%). If in this case, in their first month, the funded trader makes a profit of $2,000 (5%) bringing the account balance to $42,000; the funded trader will have three choices: (a) withdraw the full amount, (b) withdraw a partial amount, or (c) keep the funds in as an extra buffer against drawdown.
Suppose the funded trader requests a withdrawal of his/her 60% profit share, which in this example is $1,200. Then, we will also withdraw its 40% profit share ($800) from the funded account. Thus, the account balance will drop back to $40,000, and the trader’s fixed stop out level will remain $38,000.
However, after withdrawal, the funded trader will only have to make the remaining $2,000 (5%) to complete the profit target objective in the following time. This is because the funded trader has a target to generate $4,000 in profit $ in total, and we will not penalise the trader for withdrawing as they gradually make profits.
3.6. Account Growth
3.6.1. Assessment Phase
3.6.1.1. Once the funded trader has completed the assessment phase, our TPV will fund the account x4 times the assessment account size.
3.6.1.2. For example, the funded trader starts with an assessment account of $10,000. Then, given all the assessment requirements have been met, our TPV will fund you with $40K ($10K x 4) capital to trade as a Portfolio Asset Manager.
3.6.1.3. For the $2.5K assessment funded account, you would get $10K fully funded account upon passing the assessment.
3.6.1.4. For the $10K assessment funded account, you would get $40K fully funded account upon passing the assessment.
3.6.1.5. For the $15K assessment funded account, you would get $60K fully funded account upon passing the assessment.
3.6.2.Portfolio Asset Managers Phases
3.6.2.1. Every time the funded trader generates trading profit $ equivalent to 10%, the account will grow in according with the scaling plan in Appendix I.
3.7. The Max Relative Drawdown $
3.7.1. Assessment Phase
3.7.1.1. The max loss during the Assessment Phase is 5% Fixed Drawdown $.
3.7.1.2. The max loss during the Assessment Phase is 5% fixed loss from initial balance. The fixed loss is defined by 5% Loss of the Initial Account Balance (Not Relative)
3.7.1.3. The losses can never exceed the value of the Maximum Fixed Drawdown $ specified at the start of each Assessment Phase.
3.7.1.4. For example, For the $10K assessment, the max fixed Drawdown $ is $500. This means if your account drops below $9,500 then your account will be terminated.
3.7.2. Portfolio Asset Manager Phase
3.7.2.1. The max loss during the Portfolio Asset Manager Phase is 5% fixed loss from initial balance. The fixed loss is defined by 5% Loss if the Initial Account Balance (Not Relative).
3.7.2.2. The losses can never exceed 5% of the initial account balance.
3.7.2.3. For example, given the previous example, once you pass the Assessment Phase on the $10K funded account, you will be given a $40K fully funded account to trade as a Portfolio Asset Manager. Then the stop out level based on the 5% Fixed loss would be $40,000 – ($40,000 x 5%) = $38,000. So, the funded trader would not lose the account until the account equity hits $38,000.
3.8. Hard Stop Loss Value of 2% per trade idea
3.8.1. Assessment Phase
3.8.1.1. The funded trader must have a Stop Loss placed within 1 minute of placing the trade for every and each pending limit order, stop order, and/or market order and for all open trades.
3.8.1.2. The Funded Trader must ensure that the total risk across any single trade idea does not exceed 2% of the account balance. A trade idea is defined as any position or combination of positions — including scaled entries — held in the same instrument, regardless of direction. Regardless of the number of entries taken within that trade idea, the aggregate risk at any point must not exceed 2%. Any breach of this limit will constitute a violation of the trading rules.
Example: If the Funded Trader enters a position with 1% risk and subsequently adds to that position (whether in the same or opposite direction), the combined risk of all entries must not exceed 2% in total.
3.8.1.3. If the Funded Trader violates this rule twice, then they will be disqualified from the Classic Funded Trader Program.

3.9.3. While FFX Fund offers leverage of up to 1:10, traders are required to manage positions such that the Margin Level does not fall below 150% at any point. Use of maximum available leverage does not exempt the trader from this requirement.

For example, if the funded trader opens EURUSD trade on Monday, and closes the same trade on Tuesday, this counts as 1 trading day. The active trading day that counts is the day that EURUSD was opened and not the full duration of the trade.

Allowed Tradable Assets Forex, Gold & Indices Forex, Gold & Indices
7.2.8. Social Trading, Copy Trading, and any mirrored trading activity.
7.3. Exploit Price Inefficiencies / Price Feed Errors – Using any strategy or EA designed to take advantage of temporary pricing or execution anomalies is not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to: scalping during rollover (around 00:00 server time), gap or news bots that rapidly open and close trades immediately before, during, or after major news releases or large price gaps, arbitrage based on price delays or discrepancies between brokers/platforms, and trading on obvious price feed errors, delayed charts, or platform bugs. High‑frequency trading (HFT), tick‑scalping, and emulator‑type approaches where the majority of positions are opened and closed within a few minutes or less also fall under this restriction.
7.4. Group Hedging / Hedging / Group Trading / Copy Trading- Coordinated activity between two or more traders/accounts to take matching or offsetting positions on the same instrument is prohibited, whether within FFX Global LTD or across other prop firms. This includes using multiple accounts to place opposite trades on the same or closely correlated symbols at the same time, as well as using signal services or copy‑trading tools to systematically mirror another trader’s positions. Any form of organised group trading or coordinated execution with others is not permitted.
7.5. One‑directional “set and hope” trades – Placing trades only in a single direction without genuine market analysis or regard for market conditions is not allowed. Leaving positions unmanaged and simply hoping price will eventually reach a profit target, without active trade management, is also considered prohibited behaviour.

7.7. Bracketing Strategies – Placing simultaneous Buy‑Stop and Sell‑Stop orders above and below current price with the intention that one side triggers while the other is immediately cancelled or quickly closed is classified as a bracketing strategy and is not permitted.
7.8. Martingale Trading Style – Martingale‑style approaches, where additional positions are added to a losing trade as price moves against the original entry and all positions are then closed when price returns to the initial entry level, are prohibited. Adding or layering into positions is only acceptable when it is done in line with a clear directional bias and sound risk management, not as a recovery or averaging‑down scheme.
7.9. Grid Trading – Grid strategies, where multiple buy and sell orders are placed at predefined intervals above and below current price to create a “grid” of orders, are not allowed.
If any of the above prohibited behaviours are identified, the firm may first attempt to contact the trader, provide guidance, and allow the situation to be corrected. Persistent or serious misuse can lead to loss of a funded account, permanent exclusion from our programs, and/or refusal of any future access.
7.10. Use of VPNs/VPS is permitted and IP addresses may change (including when traveling or switching devices) without automatic penalties, but activity is monitored for suspicious patterns; trading is allowed while traveling provided you notify us, and you may use up to two devices (one computer and one mobile) unless you obtain prior written approval to trade from more than two devices. Please email [email protected]
7.11. At all times, we have the right to terminate the assessment as we see fit to our funding requirements and willingness to risk our TPV’s own capital on the trader at its own discretion. In such rare cases, where we decide to terminate the assessment for reason other than that presented above, we will issue a full refund of the sign-up fee to the assessment trader.
8. THE TERMINATION NOTICE
8.1. At the event of a termination, the following measures will take effect:
8.1.1.We will send an official notice of termination will to the funded trader.
8.1.2.We will disable the trading permission in funded account.
8.1.3.We will freeze access for the funded account and platforms provided to the funded trader.
8.1.4.We will send a full detailed trading report to the funded trader by email upon request.
8.2. If the funded trader is in net profit $, we will calculate the total net profits $ made on the funded account and pays the funded trader the specified portion during the same calendar month.
9. APPLYING AGAIN AFTER TERMINATION The trader can sign up again for the our FTP regardless of the number of past terminations, as long as the trader complies with the policies upon the most recent application. Nevertheless, we have the right to refuse to re-sign up at its discretion.
10. COMMUNICATIONS
10.1. Email is the official medium of communication between the funded trader and us.
10.2. We will communicate with the funded trader in real-time and to the best of its abilities to provide fast and reliable service to its clients.
10.3. The funded traders must provide a valid email while enrolled in the FTP to allow real-time communications with our staff.
10.4. We have the right to either freeze or terminate the funded account had the funded trader failed to respond to the company’s emails.

11. MISUNDERSTANDING AND ERRORS
11.1. Subject to the terms of this Contract, neither party shall be prejudiced in any way by inadvertent errors or omissions made by such party, providing such errors and omissions are corrected promptly following discovery thereof.
11.2. Upon the discovery of an inadvertent error or omission by either party hereto, appropriate adjustments shall be made as soon as possibly practicable to restore both parties to the fullest extent possible and to the position they would have been in, had no such inadvertent error or omission occurred.
11.3. We reserves our right to change these Terms, upon notifications via an official email address given from the trader. The trader will be committed to the changes or will officially be asked to resign from the program.
12. TRADING DURING UNEXPECTED EVENTS
12.1. By signing up to the Assessment Phase of the FTP, you hereby confirm and fully understand that your trading performance may also be affected by various conditions, as set out below.
12.2. Flexible Spreads. 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. However, the spreads we use are very competitive, and it is usually 0.3 pips for EURUSD on average.
12.3. Stop/Limit Pending Orders. Our TPV does not guarantee the execution of the limit and stop orders at the best price during abnormal, unexpected high impact events, or very volatile periods. However, the limit and stop orders will be executed at the next best available prices in the order books. Ordering at specifically requested price is not guaranteed for limit or stop orders during abnormal and volatile periods – the price will be filled at the next best price according to the exchange order book.
12.4. Market Gaps. 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.
12.5. Slippage. Slippage can occur at any time but is mostly relevant during periods of high volatility when market orders are executed. This can also occur 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, we do not guarantee paying profit when slippages occur on our TPVs corporate trading account.
12.6. High Impact News. You must not enter the trade at the exact time of High Impact News because it causes high slippage with our TPVs LP. Therefore, during High Impact News Release (In Red) you must enter the trade at least 3 minutes before or 3 minutes after the High Impact News Release.
12.7. Overnight Rollover Spreads Conditions. At the end of each day, between 10.00pm and 12.00am (GMT), the banks move vast amounts of orders from the current day to the following day. 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.
12.8. The Trading Commission & Spreads
12.8.1. Our TPV charges a fixed commission at $5 per round lot traded for Majors, Minors and Metals and $ 0.5 per round lot for Indices.
12.8.2. Considering both fees (Spread & Commission), the overall cost of 1 lot would be around one pip spread.

Appendix I
Gambling Behaviour Understanding gambling behaviour and over-leveraging at FFX Fund.
Why This Matters
At FFX Fund, our goal is to develop traders who are consistently profitable over the long term. Gambling behaviour and over-leveraging work against that — they depend on luck rather than skill, discipline, or sound risk management.
They also cannot be replicated in live market conditions, which is fundamental to how FFX Fund’s funding model operates.
Why These Behaviours Can’t Be Funded
FFX Fund operates with real capital and live market execution. Your trading must be sustainable and repeatable.
Gambling and over-leverage cannot be funded because:
- Live markets cannot absorb excessively oversized positions.
- High-risk, erratic strategies produce unreliable performance data.
- Risking the entire account on a single trade idea is not scalable in a real environment.
Simply put — if a strategy can’t hold up in live markets, FFX Fund cannot allocate capital to it.
What Counts as Gambling Behaviour?
Gambling means trading without structured risk management. This includes:
- Attempting to pass the challenge in one trade — using excessive leverage or stacking positions to hit the target instantly.
- Suddenly oversizing positions — particularly when in drawdown, using abnormally large lot sizes to recover quickly in a single trade idea.
- Over-leveraging — using the majority of available margin on one trade idea, causing the Margin Level to fall to 150% or below, whether through one large position or multiple stacked positions on the same symbol.
Example Violation: Balance: 84,512.00 USD | Equity: 83,204.75 | Margin: 63,887.06 | Free Margin: 19,317.69 | Margin Level: 130.42%)
The Margin Level drops to 130.42% because the trader opened a position far too large for their account balance.
