What Does Not Put Your Account at Risk
- Missing an objective. Not reaching the target, not recording five qualifying days, or a largest day above the 40% ceiling. You keep trading and try again.
- A blocked order, refused for exceeding max open size or the 5% cap, or rejected because a market is halted, resolving or stale. The control worked; nothing is recorded against you.
- A losing day. There is no daily loss limit.
- The final 30 seconds before a stated market close, where opening and increasing pause.
The floor is the other side of that list: marked equity reaching or falling below the active floor ends the account at that moment. For how it moves, see Maximum Loss and Trailing Drawdown.
What Triggers a Review
| Trigger | Typical example |
|---|---|
| Verification | Verification outstanding, or a document does not match the profile |
| Profile information | Details inconsistent, false, or changed in a payout-relevant way |
| Payment | The payment method may not belong to the holder, or a dispute is filed |
| Related accounts | Two or more profiles appear to be operated by one person |
| Trading conduct | Activity consistent with exploiting a defect, coordinating positions or automating entry |
| Technical incident | A feed, pricing or simulation fault may have affected results |
| Payout | A cycle sits at the edge of a rule, or a first payout is being released |
The last two trigger a review even when nothing is wrong.
How a Review Runs
- Notice of the category of concern.
- Pause. Trading, a funded activation or a pending payout may be paused. A pause is protective, not a finding.
- Information request.
- Assessment, against the rule as it stood when you bought.
- Decision, with the reason for it.
Review time depends on what needs checking, so FPT does not publish a fixed figure for it.
Two things help. Answer the information request — an unanswered one is the usual reason a review drags. And if you disagree with the outcome, appeal rather than resetting: a reset does not preserve the run you want reviewed. Email support@fundedpredictiontrader.com from the address on the account with "appeal" in the subject line, giving your account size, the account identifier, the decision, and what you believe was misread. While a review is open, leave payout-relevant fields alone and use the appeal route rather than a payment dispute.
What a Review Usually Ends In
FPT applies the least severe response that addresses what it found, and the list runs in that order:
- No action.
- Clarification and guidance for borderline or inadvertent conduct.
- Correction after a technical incident: a balance, position or statistic corrected, affected activity re-run.
- Voiding affected trades or a result. A profit produced only by a defect is not owed to you; equally, a loss produced only by a defect is not held against you.
- A payout withheld, denied or reversed, or the account reset, suspended or closed.
- Group closure, where accounts are related.
- Termination, reserved for fraud, identity misrepresentation and deliberate, repeated exploitation.
What Happens After a Breach
Trading stops, open simulated positions are closed, the status becomes Breached, and progress toward the target, the qualifying-day count and the consistency figure stop being counted. The account releases one of your five slots and stops counting toward your $500,000 combined allocation. Other accounts are untouched, unless the cause was a conduct finding that applies across them. There is no discretionary refund after a breach. A pending payout request had not closed the cycle, so the breach is part of what the payout review considers.
In the evaluation, either reset the same account for a reset fee — restoring the starting balance, the floor and the rule parameters, with progress back at zero — or buy a new one. See Pricing, Resets and Fees.
In the funded stage, the account ends and profit that had accrued in it is not payable. A payout cycle in progress ends with it, its qualifying days do not carry over, and the scaling milestone is lost. Payouts already approved and paid are unaffected. Funded resets are not available at launch, so returning means purchasing a new evaluation and passing it, subject to your account limits.
