FundingPips Leverage Explained
How buying power works across FundingPips challenge and funded (Master) accounts, by instrument class.
Start FundingPips Challenge →FundingPips leverage depends on the program and instrument. According to FundingPips' published terms, the 1-Step model offers Forex 1:100, Metals 1:30, Indices 1:20, Energies 1:10 and Crypto 1:2, while the Zero (instant) program uses lower Forex leverage of 1:50. Leverage is broadly the same on challenge and funded accounts, with one exception: on the Master account, crypto steps down from 1:2 to 1:1 and metals/indices/energies use dynamic tiered leverage once funded. Confirm current terms before trading, as CFD leverage magnifies both gains and losses.
Leverage on FundingPips Challenges and Funded Accounts
- According to FundingPips' published terms, the 1-Step model uses Forex 1:100, Metals 1:30, Indices 1:20, Energies 1:10 and Crypto 1:2 leverage.
- The Zero (instant) program runs at lower leverage: Forex 1:50, Metals 1:20, Indices 1:20, Energies 1:10 and Crypto 1:2, per FundingPips.
- Leverage is generally the same across the evaluation and the funded stage. The one exception is Crypto CFDs, which step down from 1:2 to 1:1 once you reach the Master account.
- On Master accounts, dynamic (tiered) leverage applies to metals, indices and energies, stepping down as position size grows, so larger lots get lower effective leverage.
- Leverage is a tool, not a target: FundingPips risk rules (daily and max drawdown) cap losses regardless of the leverage available.
- Higher leverage magnifies both gains and losses, so Canadian traders should size positions to the drawdown limits, not the maximum leverage.
