What is the difference between Phase 1 and Funded Account?

Modified on Sun, 22 Jun at 2:56 PM

Here’s a detailed FAQ to explain the difference between Phase 1 and the Funded Account clearly:

When you purchase a challenge account at Funds.Pro (whether 1-Step or 2-Step), you need to go through certain evaluation phases before you get access to real capital. Here’s the breakdown:

?

PHASE 1: Evaluation / Challenge Stage

This is the first stage of your journey.
You will trade on a simulated/demo account, but the performance is tracked in real time.
Your goal is to hit the profit target (e.g., 10%) without breaching any rules like daily loss or overall loss.
This phase is designed to test your trading discipline, consistency, and risk management.
There is no real money or real payout in this phase.

✅

FUNDED ACCOUNT: Real Payout Stage

Once you successfully pass all challenge phases (Phase 1 and Phase 2 if it’s a 2-Step account), you are upgraded to a funded account.
This account is linked to real capital behind the scenes, and your performance here earns you real profits.
You will receive a profit split based on your plan — for example, 80% of all profits go to you.
You can now request withdrawals and earn money from your trading skills.
