Introduction to Funded Trading Plus Evaluations

The proprietary trading industry has revolutionized how retail traders access institutional capital. Among the most reputable firms in this space, Funded Trading Plus has established itself as a premier destination for skilled traders seeking substantial funding without risking personal capital. However, navigating their evaluation process requires more than just trading skill—it demands strategic planning, strict risk management, and a deep understanding of proprietary trading protocols.

As a leading Prop Firms Passing Service, PFM Capitals has helped thousands of traders successfully complete their evaluations and secure funded accounts. Our approach combines institutional-grade trading methodologies with personalized Funded Account Management Service to maximize your probability of success. Whether you’re a beginner exploring funded trading for the first time or an experienced trader looking to scale your operations, understanding the evaluation framework is crucial for long-term profitability.

💡 Why Traders Search for This Guide

Over 70% of traders fail prop firm evaluations due to poor risk management and emotional trading. This guide provides the exact frameworks, strategies, and compliance checklists used by our professional traders to consistently pass evaluations and maintain funded accounts.

The funded trading model offers unprecedented opportunities for retail traders. Instead of risking personal savings, you trade the firm’s capital and keep up to 90% of the profits. However, this opportunity comes with strict evaluation criteria designed to filter out undisciplined traders. The evaluation process tests your ability to generate consistent returns while preserving capital under pressure.

At PFM Capitals, we recognize that every trader’s journey is unique. That’s why our Prop Firms Passing Services are tailored to your specific trading style, risk tolerance, and financial goals. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we provide customized trading plans, real-time account monitoring, and expert guidance to ensure you meet all evaluation requirements efficiently.

Phase 1: The Qualification Challenge

The first phase serves as the initial filter, testing your ability to generate profits while maintaining strict drawdown limits. You must achieve an 8-10% profit target without violating the 5% daily or 10% maximum drawdown thresholds. This phase typically allows 30 calendar days, though disciplined traders often complete it within 10-15 trading sessions.

  • ✓ Minimum trading days: 4
  • ✓ Consistent daily profit tracking
  • ✓ No holding trades over weekends (unless specified)
  • ✓ Maximum lot size restrictions apply

Phase 2: The Verification Stage

Phase 2 reduces the profit target to 5% while maintaining identical drawdown rules. This phase verifies that your Phase 1 success wasn’t luck, but rather the result of a repeatable, disciplined trading process. Many traders fail here due to overconfidence or deviation from their proven strategy. Our Funded Account Management Services provide continuous support through both phases.

  • ✓ Reduced profit target: 5%
  • ✓ Same risk parameters as Phase 1
  • ✓ Psychological discipline testing
  • ✓ Strategy consistency verification

Understanding Drawdown Calculations

One of the most critical aspects of any prop firm evaluation is understanding how drawdown is calculated. Funded Trading Plus uses equity-based drawdown calculations, which means your drawdown limit adjusts as your account equity changes. This dynamic calculation requires constant monitoring and proactive risk management.

Starting Equity Drawdown

Initial 10% maximum drawdown is calculated from your starting balance. If you start with $100,000, your hard stop is $90,000.

Trailing Profit Drawdown

Once you reach new equity highs, your maximum drawdown trails behind. This protects profits while giving you room to trade.

Daily Reset Drawdown

The 5% daily drawdown resets at midnight server time. It’s calculated based on your equity at the start of each trading day.

Our professional Prop Firm Services team monitors these calculations in real-time, ensuring you never accidentally breach drawdown limits. We utilize automated alerts, position sizing calculators, and risk dashboards to keep your evaluation on track. This level of oversight significantly reduces the stress associated with evaluation trading and allows you to focus purely on executing your strategy.

Proven Trading Strategies for Funded Accounts

Successful prop firm trading requires strategies that prioritize consistency over home runs. The following frameworks have been battle-tested by our professional traders and consistently deliver results within evaluation parameters.

1. Supply and Demand Zone Trading

This institutional-grade strategy focuses on identifying areas where price has previously reversed sharply, indicating imbalance between buyers and sellers. By entering trades at these zones with confirmation, traders achieve high risk-reward ratios while maintaining low drawdown exposure.

  • • Identify fresh supply/demand zones on 4H/Daily charts
  • • Wait for price to return to the zone
  • • Look for rejection candles or momentum shifts
  • • Place stop loss beyond the zone structure
  • • Target minimum 1:2 risk-reward ratio

2. Trend Continuation with Pullbacks

Rather than attempting to catch tops or bottoms, this strategy aligns with the prevailing market direction and enters on healthy pullbacks. It reduces whipsaw risk and provides clear invalidation points for stop losses.

  • • Identify trend using 50/200 EMA alignment
  • • Wait for pullback to key moving average
  • • Confirm with momentum oscillator (RSI/MACD)
  • • Enter on bullish/bearish engulfing patterns
  • • Trail stop loss to protect accumulated profits

3. Break and Retest Strategy

This classic price action strategy capitalizes on support/resistance breaks followed by successful retests. It offers excellent risk-reward profiles and is highly effective during London and New York trading sessions.

  • • Identify clear horizontal support/resistance levels
  • • Wait for strong breakout candle close
  • • Set limit order at broken level for retest
  • • Confirm rejection at retest level
  • • Target next major liquidity zone

4. News Trading Avoidance Protocol

While some traders specialize in news events, evaluation accounts typically restrict high-impact news trading. This strategy focuses on avoiding volatility spikes and trading during calm market conditions to preserve capital.

  • • Monitor economic calendars daily
  • • Close positions 30 minutes before high-impact news
  • • Avoid trading during first 15 minutes post-release
  • • Focus on technical setups during low-volatility periods
  • • Use pending orders with wide stops if necessary

Risk Management & Position Sizing Framework

Regardless of strategy, risk management is the cornerstone of prop firm success. Our Forex Account Management protocols enforce strict position sizing rules to ensure survival through inevitable losing streaks.

Position Sizing Formula

Risk per trade = Account Balance × Risk Percentage

• Conservative: 0.5% – 1% per trade

• Moderate: 1% – 1.5% per trade

• Aggressive (not recommended): 2% per trade

For a $100,000 account at 1% risk: $1,000 risk per trade

Psychology & Discipline Tips

  • • Never revenge trade after a loss
  • • Stick to your daily loss limit (3%)
  • • Take breaks after 3 consecutive losses
  • • Journal every trade with rationale
  • • Review performance weekly, not daily

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid: Overleveraging, trading outside your strategy, ignoring drawdown limits, holding losers hoping they recover, and trading during low-liquidity sessions. These errors account for 80% of evaluation failures.

Evaluation Rules & Requirements Breakdown

Understanding every rule is non-negotiable. Violating even a single parameter results in immediate account termination. Below is a comprehensive breakdown of all evaluation constraints.

Parameter Phase 1 Phase 2 Funded Account
Profit Target 8-10% 5% None (withdraw anytime)
Daily Drawdown 5% 5% 5%
Maximum Drawdown 10% 10% 10%
Minimum Trading Days 4 days 4 days None
Consistency Rule No single trade >30% of profit Same as Phase 1 Relaxed
News Trading Restricted (2 min before/after) Same restriction Allowed with caution
Weekend Holding Allowed Allowed Allowed

Consistency Rules Explained

The consistency rule prevents traders from relying on a single lucky trade to pass the evaluation. No single trade can contribute more than 30% of your total profit target. This ensures your results stem from a repeatable process rather than gambling.

Example: If your profit target is $10,000, no single trade should yield more than $3,000. Our Prop Firms Passing Service includes consistency monitoring tools to keep you compliant.

News Trading Restrictions

During evaluation phases, trading 2 minutes before or after high-impact news releases (NFP, CPI, FOMC, etc.) is prohibited. This rule protects traders from extreme slippage and gap risk. Violations trigger automatic account suspension.

We provide daily economic calendars and automated news alerts to ensure you never accidentally breach this rule. Our professional traders know exactly when to step aside and let volatility settle.

Step-by-Step Evaluation Process

Follow this proven roadmap to systematically pass your evaluation and secure funded capital. Each step is designed to build confidence, ensure compliance, and maximize your success probability.

1

Select Your Account Size & Challenge Type

Choose between $10K, $25K, $50K, $100K, or $200K accounts based on your risk capacity and trading experience. Our team recommends starting with $50K-$100K for optimal risk-reward balance. Consider our Funded Account Management Services if you prefer professional handling.

2

Configure Your Trading Environment

Set up MT4/MT5 with proper risk management plugins, position size calculators, and drawdown monitors. Install economic calendar alerts and configure daily equity snapshots. Proper setup prevents accidental rule violations.

3

Execute Phase 1 with Strict Discipline

Trade your proven strategy with 1% risk per trade. Focus on high-probability setups during London/NY sessions. Track every trade in your journal. Our Prop Firm Services provide daily performance reviews to keep you on track.

4

Transition to Phase 2

Once Phase 1 is complete, take 24-48 hours to reset mentally. Review your trading journal, identify strengths/weaknesses, and adjust position sizing if needed. Phase 2 requires 5% profit with identical risk parameters.

5

Secure Your Funded Account

Upon passing Phase 2, complete the verification process (ID, address proof, trading agreement). Receive your funded account credentials and begin trading real capital. Profit splits range from 80% to 90% depending on your consistency track record.

6

Scale & Withdraw Profits

Maintain consistency, request bi-weekly profit splits, and consider scaling to larger accounts. Our Forex Account Management team can help you optimize withdrawal strategies and tax planning for sustained profitability.

Advantages & Disadvantages Analysis

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Funded Trading Plus evaluations and our Prop Firms Passing Services.

The Funded Trading Plus evaluation consists of two phases. Phase 1 requires achieving an 8-10% profit target while respecting a 5% daily and 10% maximum drawdown limit. Phase 2 reduces the profit target to 5% with identical risk parameters. Both phases require a minimum of 4 trading days and prohibit high-impact news trading. Our Prop Firms Passing Service provides comprehensive support through both phases.

Speed comes from discipline, not aggression. Focus on high-probability setups during peak liquidity hours (London/NY overlap), maintain strict 1% risk per trade, and avoid revenge trading. Our Funded Account Management Service utilizes optimized entry techniques and real-time risk monitoring to help traders pass within 10-15 trading days on average.

The most effective strategies prioritize consistency over home runs: Supply & Demand zone trading, Trend continuation with pullbacks, Break & retest patterns, and Session-based momentum trading. All strategies should maintain a minimum 1:2 risk-reward ratio and adhere strictly to position sizing rules. Our professional traders specialize in these methodologies and can implement them on your behalf through our Prop Firm Services.

Yes, PFM Capitals provides professional Funded Account Management Services where our verified traders manage your evaluation and funded accounts. We ensure strict compliance with all prop firm rules while maximizing profit potential. You retain full ownership of the account and receive 80-90% of profits based on your agreement tier.

Violating the daily drawdown rule results in immediate account termination. The daily drawdown is calculated based on your equity at the start of each trading day (midnight server time). If your equity drops 5% from that starting point, the account is closed. Our automated risk management systems send alerts at 2%, 3%, and 4% drawdown levels to prevent accidental breaches.

Our pricing varies based on account size and service tier (Guidance vs. Full Management). We offer transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Many clients find that the cost is quickly recovered through their first profit split. Contact us for a customized quote based on your specific goals and account size.

During evaluation phases, trading 2 minutes before or after high-impact news releases is strictly prohibited. This includes NFP, CPI, FOMC, and central bank rate decisions. Violations trigger automatic account suspension. Our Forex Account Management team monitors economic calendars and pauses trading automatically during these windows to ensure compliance.

Profit splits range from 80% to 90% depending on your consistency track record and account tier. Payouts are processed bi-weekly via bank wire, cryptocurrency, or e-wallets. There are no minimum withdrawal amounts, and processing typically takes 1-3 business days. Our transparent reporting ensures you always know exactly how much you’ve earned.

Our service agreements include performance guarantees. If our professional traders manage your account and fail to pass due to strategy execution (not rule violations), we offer a free retry or partial refund depending on the package selected. We stand behind our methods and maintain a 94% success rate through rigorous pre-evaluation strategy validation.

With disciplined trading and our Prop Firms Passing Services, most clients complete both phases within 14-30 calendar days. After passing, account verification and funding typically take 24-48 hours. Some exceptional traders have passed in as little as 9 trading days, though we prioritize consistency over speed to ensure long-term account survival.
