The rules, side by side
| Rule | FTMO | FundingPips |
|---|---|---|
| Drawdown type | Static | Static |
| Daily loss limit | $500 | $500 |
| Consistency rule | not in the preset | not in the preset |

Typical values for each firm's standard accounts. "Not in the preset" means Propbook's default account for that firm carries no such limit — other plans from the same firm may, and firms change their terms, so check your own contract.

What actually separates them
A static drawdown is the kindest structure for a swing trader: the line is set at your starting balance minus the maximum loss on day one, and it never moves. Your profit is yours; it does not raise the bar behind you.
Both firms sit at 10% maximum loss and 5% daily loss on the standard accounts. The difference in Propbook's presets is the target: 10% at FTMO, 8% at FundingPips. On a $100K account that is $10,000 against $8,000 — the same risk budget for a fifth less distance.
Targets and phases change often at CFD firms, more often than at futures firms. Treat any comparison, including this one, as a starting point and verify the current terms before you buy.
Which one suits you
FTMO fits you if…
You want the most established name in CFD prop trading and a rulebook that thousands of traders have already documented.
FundingPips fits you if…
You want a shorter distance to the target for the same maximum loss on the standard accounts.
Not sure? Run your last twenty days through the drawdown calculator under both rule sets — the same P&L can pass one and fail the other.
Trading both? Track both.
Propbook keeps each account on its own rule set — FTMO, FundingPips or seventeen others — with the room left on every one of them live. Free, no card.

What is a static drawdown?
A fixed maximum loss level, set from your starting balance and never recalculated. Unlike futures-style trailing, profit you make does not raise the level you must stay above.
Do both have a daily loss limit?
Yes — both standard accounts carry one at 5% of the account size, alongside the 10% overall maximum loss.
Which target is easier?
In the presets, FundingPips asks 8% where FTMO asks 10%, for the same 10% maximum loss — a better ratio of reward to room. Check the current terms, because CFD firms revise these numbers frequently.
