Evaluation Process & Funding

What funding models does Funded Friday offer?

Funded Friday offers two funding models built for different types of traders:

  1. The Learner – A single-step challenge for traders who want to get funded fast. Hit the target, manage risk, and you’re in.
  2. Risk Warrior – A two-step challenge designed for traders who prefer more structure and a higher payout. Show consistency across two phases, and you’ll unlock a bigger profit split.

Both models give you access to funded capital, fast payouts, and professional-grade trading conditions on Platform 5.

Getting funded is simple—but you’ve got to prove you’ve got the skills.

The Learner (1-Step):

  • Hit a 10% profit target while staying within the drawdown limits.
  • Pass once, and you’ll go straight to a funded account.

Risk Warrior (2-Step):

  • Phase 1: Hit an 8% profit target while managing risk.
  • Phase 2: Hit a 5% profit target under the same risk conditions.
  • Pass both phases, and you’ll get a funded account with a 90% profit split.

No time limits. No complicated restrictions. Just real trading, real profits.

Both challenges are designed to reward real trading skill, not luck. If you can hit the targets while managing risk, you’ll get funded.

No, there are no time limits to complete the evaluation.

You can take as long as you need to hit the profit target and pass the challenge. Whether it takes a week, a month, or longer—it’s entirely up to you.

Funded Friday is built for traders who value strategy over speed. No pressure, no countdown clock—just solid trading on your terms.

If you fail the evaluation, you’ll need to purchase a new challenge to try again.

Failing doesn’t mean you’re done. It’s just part of the process. Trading is about learning and adjusting, so you can come back stronger with a refined strategy.

There’s no waiting period or limit on how many times you can retry. When you’re ready, you can jump back in and give it another try.

Once you pass the challenge, your funded account is typically set up within 24 to 48 hours.

Our team will verify your trades to confirm that all rules were followed. After that, you’ll receive your funded account details and be ready to start trading funded capital.

We aim to process approvals quickly so you can start trading without unnecessary delays.

After you pass the evaluation, here’s what happens next:

  1. Account Review: Our team will review your trades to confirm compliance with the challenge rules.
  2. KYC Verification: You’ll need to complete identity verification (a quick and secure process).
  3. Funded Agreement: You’ll receive a contract outlining the terms of your funded account.
  4. Account Activation: Once approved, you’ll receive your funded account details and be ready to trade funded capital.

From there, you’ll be able to trade with real funds, keep up to 90% of your profits, and request payouts every Friday.

Funded Accounts & Trading Rules

What happens once I get a funded account?

Once funded, you’ll need to follow these trading rules to maintain your account:

Daily Drawdown Limit:

  • The maximum daily loss is 3% for The Learner and 5% for Risk Warrior.
  • If your account equity drops below the daily limit at any point during the trading day, the account will be breached.

  • The maximum overall drawdown is 6% for The Learner and 10% for Risk Warrior.
  • If your total equity drops below the drawdown limit, your account will be closed.

Fusce magna ullamcorper sit morbi condimentum ipsum. Feugiat ultrices netus at rhoncus scelerisque ut quisque. Fringilla sit praesent.

Once funded, there are no profit targets.

Your goal is to trade consistently, grow your account, and request payouts based on your performance.

You can request your first payout after 14 active trading days and a minimum of 5 trading days. After that, you can withdraw profits every Friday as long as you have met the payout conditions.

The maximum daily drawdown is the most you can lose in a single trading day before your account is breached.

  • The Learner: 3% of your starting balance.
  • Risk Warrior: 5% of your starting balance.

If your account equity drops below the daily drawdown limit at any point during the trading day, your account will be closed. The daily drawdown limit resets at the start of each new trading day.

For example:

  • If you have a $100,000 account in The Learner, your maximum daily loss is $3,000.

If you have a $100,000 account in Risk Warrior, your maximum daily loss is $5,000.

The maximum total drawdown is the most you can lose overall before your account is closed.

  • The Learner: 6% of your starting balance.
  • Risk Warrior: 10% of your starting balance.

The total drawdown is based on the highest equity point reached, not just the starting balance. If your total equity falls below this level at any point, your account will be closed.

For example:

  • If you have a $100,000 account in The Learner, your maximum total loss is $6,000.
  • If you have a $100,000 account in Risk Warrior, your maximum total loss is $10,000.

No, you are not required to use a stop-loss on funded accounts.

However, managing risk is your responsibility. While you’re not obligated to set stop-loss orders, failing to manage your risk properly could lead to hitting the daily or total drawdown limits, which would result in your account being closed.

Experienced traders often use stop-losses to protect capital and limit downside exposure—especially in volatile markets—but the choice is entirely up to you.

Yes, certain trading strategies are prohibited to ensure fair and consistent trading conditions:

🚫 Martingale and grid strategies – Strategies that rely on increasing position sizes to recover losses.
🚫 Tick scalping – Opening and closing a large volume of trades within milliseconds to exploit price fluctuations.
🚫 Latency arbitrage – Exploiting execution speed differences or price feed delays.
🚫 Copy trading – Duplicating trades from another trader or signal provider.
🚫 HFT (High-Frequency Trading) – Using automated systems to execute a high volume of trades in a short time frame.
🚫 Account manipulation – Opening opposite positions across different accounts to create a risk-free setup.

If any of these strategies are detected, your account may be suspended or closed, and any profits may be forfeited.

No, weekend holding is not allowed.

All open trades must be closed before the market closes on Friday. If you fail to close your trades before the weekend, your account may be flagged for violation, which could lead to the account being closed.

This rule helps protect your account from potential market gaps and volatility when the market reopens.

Yes, there are lot consistency rules, but there are no profit consistency rules.

Lot consistency:

  • The total lot size of your open trades cannot exceed the maximum allowed for your account size.
  • If you exceed the lot size limit, your account may be suspended or closed.

No profit consistency rule:

  • There are no rules about how much profit you can make in a day or how consistently you need to trade.
  • You are free to scale your profits as long as you stay within the drawdown and lot size limits.

Consistency matters when managing risk—not when booking profits.

Payouts & Withdrawals

How does the payout process work?

Funded Friday provides a fast and straightforward payout process:

  1. Meet the profit requirements – Your account must be in profit and meet the payout eligibility conditions.
  2. Submit a payout request – You can request a withdrawal directly from your trader dashboard.
  3. Verification and processing – Our team will verify your request to confirm that all trading rules were followed.
  4. Receive your funds – Once approved, your payout will be processed and sent using your selected payment method.

Payouts are processed every Friday. Once approved, the funds will typically reach you within 24 to 48 hours depending on the payment method used.

Payouts are processed weekly—every Friday.

As long as you meet the payout conditions and your account is in profit, you can request a withdrawal every week. There are no limits on how much you can withdraw as long as your account remains within the drawdown and lot size limits.

You can request a payout once per week—every Friday.

Payouts are processed weekly as long as your account is in profit and you’ve met the payout conditions. There are no limits on how much you can withdraw, as long as your account remains within the drawdown and lot size limits.

If you meet the conditions, you can expect to receive your funds within 24 to 48 hours after the payout request is approved.

Funded Friday supports multiple withdrawal options to make it easy for traders worldwide to access their profits:

  • Bank transfer – Direct to your bank account.
  • Cryptocurrency – Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies supported.
  • E-wallets – Popular online payment platforms supported (availability depends on your region).

Withdrawal options will be listed in your trader dashboard. Simply select your preferred method when submitting a payout request.

The minimum withdrawal amount is 5% of your profits.

For example:

  • If you’ve made $2,000 in profit, the minimum withdrawal you can request is $100.
  • If you’ve made $500 in profit, the minimum withdrawal is $25.

If your account is in drawdown or you haven’t met the payout conditions, you won’t be able to request a withdrawal until you meet the minimum requirements.

If your account is in drawdown, you cannot request a payout.

To qualify for a payout, your account must be:
 âś… In profit above the starting balance.
 âś… Within both the daily and total drawdown limits.

For example:

  • If you have a $100,000 funded account and your equity is at $98,000 (below the starting balance), you won’t be able to withdraw profits.
  • If your equity is at $105,000, you can request a payout since you are above the starting balance and within the drawdown limits.

Once your account returns to profit, you can request a payout during the next payout cycle.

No, you cannot withdraw profits during the challenge.

Payouts are only available once you’ve passed the challenge and received a funded account.

During the challenge, your goal is to hit the profit target while managing risk. Once you pass the challenge and become a funded trader, you can start withdrawing profits according to the payout schedule.

Risk & Compliance

What happens if I violate the trading rules?

If you violate the trading rules, your account may be suspended or closed depending on the severity of the violation.

Here’s how it works:

  • Minor Violation – If you exceed the lot size limit or open a trade during restricted times (such as over the weekend), your account may be suspended temporarily or you may receive a warning.
  • Major Violation – Breaching the daily or total drawdown limits, using prohibited strategies (like martingale or latency arbitrage), or engaging in abusive trading behavior will result in your account being closed immediately.
  • Profit Forfeiture – Any profits earned while violating the rules may be forfeited.

Funded Friday expects traders to follow professional trading standards. If you maintain discipline and respect the rules, you’ll have no issues.

If you breach the drawdown limits, your account will be closed immediately:

Daily Drawdown Limit:

  • If your equity drops below the daily loss limit during the trading day, your account will be closed for that day.
  • The account will not be reinstated, and any profits made before the breach will be forfeited.

Total Drawdown Limit:

  • If your overall account equity drops below the maximum allowed drawdown, the account will be permanently closed.
  • The total drawdown is calculated from your starting balance (or highest balance reached), not your current profit level.

For example:

  • If you have a $100,000 account with a 3% daily drawdown, your account will be closed if your equity drops below $97,000 during the day.
  • If your overall drawdown limit is 6%, your account will be closed if your total equity falls below $94,000.

Once an account is closed due to a drawdown breach, you’ll need to purchase a new challenge to try again.

Yes, the daily drawdown limit resets at midnight (server time) each trading day.

Here’s how it works:

  • At the start of each new trading day, your daily drawdown limit is recalculated based on your current account balance.
  • The total drawdown limit remains fixed based on your starting balance (or highest balance reached).

For example:

  • If you have a $100,000 account and make $5,000 in profit, your new daily drawdown limit will be based on the updated balance of $105,000.
  • The next day, your maximum allowable daily loss will be 3% of $105,000 = $3,150.

The reset gives you a clean slate each day while maintaining overall risk control through the total drawdown limit.

If your account remains inactive for 30 consecutive calendar days, it will be closed due to inactivity.

Inactivity means:

  • No trades have been placed for 30 days.
  • No open positions or pending orders.
  • No login activity on the trading platform.

If your funded account is closed due to inactivity:

  • Any remaining profits will be forfeited.
  • You will need to purchase a new challenge if you wish to trade again.

To avoid inactivity closure, you simply need to place at least one trade within every 30-day period. Even a small position will keep your account active.

No, hedging is not allowed on Funded Friday accounts.

Hedging includes:
 đźš« Opening long and short positions on the same instrument at the same time.
 đźš« Placing opposite trades across multiple accounts to offset risk.
 đźš« Creating risk-free positions using correlated instruments.

Hedging is restricted to ensure fair trading conditions and accurate performance tracking. If hedging is detected, your account may be closed and any profits forfeited.



No, news trading is not allowed on Funded Friday.

Restricted news trading includes:
 đźš« Opening trades within a set window before or after high-impact news releases (such as Non-Farm Payrolls or interest rate decisions).
 đźš« Using strategies that aim to exploit rapid price movements caused by news volatility.
 đźš« Trading events with expected low liquidity and high slippage.

Funded Friday restricts news trading to protect accounts from unpredictable price gaps, slippage, and abnormal market conditions.

You are responsible for monitoring the economic calendar and adjusting your strategy accordingly.

Account Management & Support

Can I have multiple funded accounts?

Yes, you can hold multiple funded accounts at the same time.

  • You can manage multiple evaluation and funded accounts simultaneously.
  • Each account will have its own profit split, drawdown limits, and payout schedule.
  • Hedging across accounts is not allowed – You cannot open long and short positions on the same instrument using different accounts.

For example:

  • You can hold two $100,000 accounts and one $200,000 account simultaneously.
  • Each account is treated independently, so you’ll need to follow the drawdown and risk management rules for each account separately.

As long as you trade each account independently and follow the rules, you can scale your total capital without restrictions.

If you get locked out of your account, follow these steps:

  1. Reset your password – Use the “Forgot Password” option on the login page.
  2. Check your email – Make sure you’re using the correct email address linked to your Funded Friday account.
  3. Clear cache and cookies – Sometimes login issues are caused by browser settings.
  4. Try a different browser – If the problem persists, try logging in from another device or browser.
  5. Contact support – If you still can’t access your account, reach out to Funded Friday’s support team for assistance.

If you are locked out due to a security issue or suspicious activity, Funded Friday may temporarily disable your account to protect your funds. In such cases, support will guide you through the recovery process.

You can keep your account inactive for up to 30 consecutive calendar days.

After 30 days of inactivity, your account will be closed.

Inactivity means:

  • No trades placed.
  • No open or pending orders.
  • No login activity on the trading platform.

If your account is closed due to inactivity:

  • Any remaining profits will be forfeited.
  • You will need to purchase a new challenge if you want to trade again.

To avoid inactivity closure, you only need to place one trade every 30 days— even a small trade will keep your account active.

You can reach Funded Friday’s support team through multiple channels:

  • Live Chat – Available directly on the website for real-time assistance.
  • Email – Send your inquiries to support@fundedfriday.com for detailed support.
