Which should you choose?
By trading style
| You are… | Pick | |
|---|---|---|
| Beginners | FundingPips | Prices from $33 and static drawdowns help, but frequent rule changes, the in-house news calendar and device-ID enforcement punish anyone who skips the fine print. |
| Experienced traders | Either | FundingPips: Fast payouts and a $400K allocation suit them, but 1%-per-idea guidance, 'gambling' reviews and possible mandatory PRIME conversion add risk for anyone who sizes up. |
| Swing traders | The Funded Room | Unlimited time and allowed weekend holding help, but gap trading is banned and the 0.25% day rule and 15% Instant consistency cap slow payouts. |
| Scalpers | FundingPips | Intraday scalping is allowed at $5 per lot on FX, but tick scalping and HFT are banned and traders report wide slippage on gold and silver. |
| EA & algo traders | Either | FundingPips: Third-party EAs may only manage trades, your own EA needs proof of ownership, and VPN or VPS connections are banned. |
| News traders | Either | FundingPips: Master profits within 5 minutes of Restricted news (10 for speeches) are deducted, Zero closes the account for any news trade, and the firm's own calendar decides what is restricted. |
