FunderPro Profit Target (Phase 2) Rule Explained
FunderPro
Quick Answer
FunderPro's Phase 2 Profit Target requires traders to achieve 5% profit on their initial account balance.
The target is calculated from your starting Phase 2 balance, meaning you need $2,500 profit on a $50,000 account or $5,000 on a $100,000 account. Only closed trades count toward the profit target. Failing to reach 5% profit means you cannot progress to a funded account and must restart the evaluation process.

Common Mistakes
Counting Unrealized Profits
Many traders think their floating P&L counts toward the 5% target and stop trading when they see unrealized gains. Only closed trades contribute to your profit target. If you have $2,400 in unrealized profit on a $50,000 Phase 2 account, you still need to close positions and achieve the full $2,500 target.
Conservative Trading After Phase 1
Traders often become overly cautious after passing the 10% Phase 1 target, forgetting they still need 5% in Phase 2. This conservative approach can lead to insufficient profit generation. On a $100,000 account, you still need $5,000 in closed profits, which requires active trading rather than preservation mode.
Ignoring Minimum Trading Days
Some traders hit the 5% profit target quickly but forget FunderPro requires 4 minimum trading days. Even if you achieve $1,250 profit on a $25,000 account in 2 days, you cannot pass Phase 2 until you complete the minimum trading period requirement.
Risk Reduction Near Target
Traders often drastically reduce position sizes when approaching the 5% target, making it nearly impossible to reach the goal. If you're at 4% profit on a $50,000 account, you still need $500 more, which requires maintaining adequate position sizes rather than trading with minimal risk.
Protection Strategies
Set Personal Target at 6% Profit
Aim for 6% instead of the required 5% to create a safety buffer above FunderPro's minimum. This gives you $500 extra cushion on a $50,000 account or $1,000 on a $100,000 account. The buffer protects against small losing trades that might bring you below the target after reaching it.
Use Consistent 1-2% Risk Per Trade
Maintain steady position sizing throughout Phase 2 to generate the required profits efficiently. On a $50,000 account, risk $500-$1,000 per trade with 2:1 reward ratios to systematically build toward the $2,500 target. Avoid reducing risk too early, which can stall progress.
Track Closed P&L Daily Against Target
Monitor only your realized profits versus the 5% requirement, not floating P&L. Set alerts when you reach 4%, 5%, and your personal 6% target. This prevents confusion between unrealized gains and actual progress toward FunderPro's profit requirement.
Maintain Normal Trading Until 6% Achieved
Continue your regular trading strategy until reaching your personal buffer target rather than switching to preservation mode at 5%. Premature risk reduction often leads to stagnation just below the target. Keep trading normally until you have adequate cushion above the minimum requirement.
