FundingPips Reviews

Account Closed and banned for “Copy Trading” Based on Evidence That Doesn’t Match Their Own Claim (No Refund, Crypto Payment) I’m leaving this review to document my experience with FundingPips in a factual, detailed way, because the way they handled this case was frustrating and, in my opinion, unfair. What happened I received an email from FundingPips saying my account was flagged by their Risk & Compliance Department for violating their rules. They claimed they had “proof” of: -account management -copy trading -trading in concert with others They then suspended my account immediately and stated they could no longer provide service. They included a screenshot as “evidence.” My account number: 11090241 Their specific claim: FundingPips later doubled down in writing and claimed they detected: “an identical sequence of trades with the same instruments, entry times, exit points, and trade duration,” and that this “clearly does not align with coincidence.” They also said they shared Trade IDs and that I could verify them in the dashboard. The problem: their own screenshot disproves the “identical trade” claim The screenshot they provided shows two XAUUSD buy trades — one in “Other’s Account” and one in “My Account (11090241).” Here are the exact values from their screenshot: Other’s Account Position: #231727177 Symbol: XAUUSD – Buy Open Time: 29/12/2025 – 5:21:26 PM Close Time: 29/12/2025 – 5:42:30 PM Entry Price: 4455.53 Close Price: 4430.88 Duration: 21m 04s My Account (11090241) Position: #231733045 Symbol: XAUUSD – Buy Open Time: 29/12/2025 – 5:25:51 PM Close Time: 29/12/2025 – 5:41:11 PM Entry Price: 4451.84 Close Price: 4441.70 Duration: 15m 20s These trades are not identical, and the differences are not small: Entry time difference: 5:21:26 vs 5:25:51 (4 minutes 25 seconds apart) Exit time difference: 5:42:30 vs 5:41:11 (1 minute 19 seconds apart) Duration difference: 21m 04s vs 15m 20s (not the same) Entry price difference: 4455.53 vs 4451.84 (different fill) Exit price difference: 4430.88 vs 4441.70 (massively different close of around 11 USD) I can't even believe that they are seriously trying that. So when they state “same entry times, exit points, and trade duration,” that is directly contradicted by the numbers in the screenshot they used to justify the ban. Communication / process I responded politely and asked them to explain how this can be considered copy trading when the time and price levels don’t match. I also asked for more evidence and the methodology used. Their response was basically: They detected similar trades and it’s prohibited. They can’t share full details because of privacy. Their decision is final. When I pointed out again that the evidence does not match their claim, their final answer was essentially: “We reviewed it carefully.” “The violation is clear.” “No further reconsideration.” “No actionable steps.” So: no proper explanation, no reconciliation of the mismatching data, and no appeal. Refund issue (crypto) The challenge was paid via crypto, so there’s no payment provider dispute route. I requested a refund or at least store credit as a goodwill solution since the “proof” does not support the accusation as stated. No refund was offered (and the case was closed as “final”). Why this matters If a prop firm can permanently ban a trader for “copy trading” while presenting evidence that doesn’t even match the stated criteria (“identical” entry times / exit points / duration), that’s a serious trust issue. Gold (XAUUSD) is one of the most traded instruments. Two traders taking buys on the same day is not proof of coordination — and in this case, the trades weren’t even identical. Bottom line Based on my experience: The accusation was treated as automatic and final. The evidence they provided did not match their written claims. There was no transparent review process or meaningful appeal. Crypto payments make it easy for them to deny refunds and close the case. I’m connected with a large trading community and other creators, and I can say this kind of handling does not stay private — people compare experiences. In a few of my communities, members have already experienced the same issue. The same claim, without any evidence, and the same standardized communication. I have quite a bit of experience with prop firms, and I was able to observe this kind of behaviour with firms that are struggling financially and need to look for "unethical" ways to maximize profitability. I would advise anyone considering FundingPips to be very cautious. Especially, crypto payments are an easy play for them since they can't be disputed with a bank. Stay safe.

I buy my first funding account here it is user friendly, i did not have any problem even though i did not now any thing about prop firm and all.

I used to trade in fundingpips quite interesting at a competitive price. In the past, the rules in Fundingpips were very friendly, there was no hidden rule but now the price of the challange has gone up. Broker's spread is good, unfortunately Slippage is so severe that it experiences violated

EXTREMELY BAD EXECUTIONS on US100 (NDX100) I use PF1 to trade FundingPips as well as other prop firms, In the past 2 weeks I had 4 trades on US100 (NDX100) where the SL was triggered with FundingPips much earlier, but not with the other prop firms.. 2 of those trades actually reversed and hit TP and the 2 SL were hit later with the others. Instead of having +2R on those 4 trades, with FundingPips I have -4R... A bad prop firm can turn a profitable srtattegy into a unprofitable one because of EXTREMELY BAD executions.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO FAIL A CHALLENGE WITHOUT EVEN MAKING A TRADE? I'm sharing my incredible and embarrassing experience. I purchased two new challenges, the first with other firm and the second with FUNDING PIPS. After purchasing them, due to personal issues, I no longer had time to do anything, not even the first trade. Given this situation, I'm reviewing the inactivity rules in the other firm and FUNDING PIPS terms and conditions. Other firm's written inactivity condition: You activate the Challenge by opening the first simulated trade on the Trading Platform. If you do not activate the Challenge within thirty (30) calendar days of the date on which it was made available to you following the execution of your order with us, your access to that Challenge will be suspended. You can request renewal of your access within six (6) months of the initial suspension, otherwise we will terminate the Agreement without any right to a refund of the Challenge Fee. FUNDING PIPS Inactivity Condition: A trading account will be breached if it remains inactive for 30 consecutive days. To keep the account active, you must open and close at least one trade within this period. If no trades are completed during the 30-day window, the account will be breached. After reading this, everything is clear for the other firm. I still have a question about Funding Pips: what is the starting date for calculating the 30 days? I'm checking my emails again and see that for two accounts activated one month earlier with Funding Pips, after placing the first trade, I received this email: "Received first trade We are contacting you to confirm receipt of your first trade; this means that your trading phase has started." I also checked the dashboard, and the start date for the account I just purchased with Funding Pips isn't listed, so I had a double confirmation from my email and dashboard that the 30-day period begins when I make my first trade. 26 days passed without making any trades, and I received a warning email from other firm reminding me that the 30-day period was about to expire, after which the account would be suspended. I contacted other firm's customer support and within 2 minutes I received a response and the assurance that they were dealing with a reputable company that supports traders. Then 30 days pass and I receive an email from FUNDING PIPS: "Trading Rule Breach Detected We regret to inform you that account number 10687546 has breached one or more of our trading rules. Trading rule: Maximum Days of Trading Inactivity Exceeded! You have not placed a trade in more than 30 days." I contact FUNDING PIPS customer service and explain that this account is still new and I haven't even made my first trade. The response I received was that their 30-day inactivity rule is irreversible and the account failed because the 30 days start from the day the challenge was purchased. I asked them to send me the written conditions where I could read that the inactivity rule starts from the day the challenge was purchased so that I could ensure that I was not responsible for not having read the rules carefully, but in I've had dozens of emails, but no one has sent me any document stating that the 30-day start date is the purchase date. I explain to them that there are four problems: 1- Funding Pips' written conditions regarding the inactivity rule don't specify a starting date for calculating the 30 days of inactivity. 2- After the first trade in previous accounts, I've always received their email stating that the challenge has started, and I think the 30-day calculation has begun. 3- In the dashboard, without the first trade made, the start date is indicated with dashes (-----), so I think the 30-day calculation hasn't started. 4- I didn't receive any polite warning email a few days before receiving the timely email informing me that the challenge failed due to inactivity. I wonder if it's a coincidence that the email didn't arrive, or is it intentional? I've written many emails to try to explain that it's probably not entirely my fault; it wouldn't have cost me anything to place a trade in 30 days if I'd had a clearly written rule, but the final decision The challenge failed, and I lost the money I paid for it without making a single trade.

I am taking this prop firm account and I find it easy to handle the account of that firm and the trading rules are accurate, so I found this firm to be good.

WORST EXPERIENCE Very disappointed, I had took 2 step ro challenge with fundingpips and every thing went well I passed 1st step and started the second step. It was my 3rd day of trading and my equity at the start was 10009 usd. And my daily loss limit was 300. I made a loss of 241 usd and my account was breached. And the support team really don't have any knowledge to support me. It is very disappointing that I trusted this firm a lot and they are not ready to accept there mistake. I was also running with a profitable trade they suddenly closed my trades and breached. If this is the case I really suggest other people to be aware of this firm. Ia have all the proofs.

The standout feature is the "Tuesday Payday." Unlike firms that lock profits for 14–30 days, Funding Pips allows you to request payouts every Tuesday once you reach the Master phase. The 2-Step Evaluation is standard: an 8% target for Phase 1 and 5% for Phase 2. There are no time limits, offering the freedom to wait for high-probability setups.

I traded with this firm for 19 months. went through all the growing pains with them. got funded many times and withdrew about 56k in payouts. in october of this year - they banned me from their platform completely on a claims saying i "manipulated their payment processor when buying challenges" Provided zero proof of any wrongdoing - literally spent so much money om failed challenges with them and they never had an issue - it was only when i had gotten max funded and was due for just a normal 5k payout. They claim they dont have to provide me any proof and they did everything "internally" and their is nothing i can do to appeal even though i have bank statements all from the same card used to purchase evals. They were honestly a pretty normal firm but getting treated like that is just insane these days.

the funding pips propfirn is really good its all over like a no spread and offers available discount the buy funded account my its very good expirience
