What Is Fundora's Expected Value? Running the 2-Step Challenge Through a 1-Year Simulation by Account Size, Standard (¥20M) Comes Out Best [September 2026]
We ran Fundora's 2-step challenge (Standard, Professional, Growth, Entry) through a 1-year Monte Carlo simulation using the official rules exactly as written. Covers annual take-home at 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% risk per trade and win rates of 50-58%, and explains how Fundora's own quirks — the 1% rule, the 33.3% rule, the 28-day wait for the first payout, and the payout cap — affect expected value.
I Checked Multi-Account Allocation Caps at 14 Firms | The5ers Requires a Different Method Per Account, FTMO Has Unlimited Challenges [September 2026]
Try to run the same strategy across multiple accounts and you hit a total-allocation cap. The range spans 14x, from E8 Markets' $4.25M down to FundedNext and PipFarm's $300K. FTMO $400K, FundedNext $300K, Funding Pips $400K, SuperFunded $900K, Hantec $400K, Fundora ¥60M — the range is wide. Even more important is whether challenge-stage accounts eat into that cap, which runs in opposite directions depending on the firm. The5ers requires a different trading method per account, which rules out running the same EA across multiple accounts there.
Can You Change Strategy Mid-Way? | I Checked 20 Firms' Consistency Rules and Found They Go in Opposite Directions [September 2026]
FundedNext explicitly states you must 'maintain the same strategy through your challenge and Funded account,' banning switching from an EA that passed the challenge to manual trading. Fintokei, meanwhile, states plainly it has no consistency rule and won't add one retroactively. Even within one firm, Hantec's Enhanced has no restriction while EnhancedX caps you at 35% — opposite treatment. Here's what to check before changing your method, across 20 firms.
The Same Strategy Can Take 3x Longer Depending on Where You Run It: Testing 8 Firms' Rules Against a Mechanical Strategy [Analysis]
Profit targets and max DD line up almost identically across firms, yet running the same strategy through their rules stretches the cycle time from 17.2 days to 59.6 days — a 3.5x spread. The cause is the '1% risk per trade' rule. Pass rates barely differ (33.7–38.7%), while firms with a 10% Phase 1 target are 5 points worse off at the first stage, and a 60% profit split cuts expected funded-stage income by 40%. Also checks Hantec's 3-minute rule, which is actually a ratio condition — 'net profit from trades closed under 3 minutes is 30% or more of total' — against 3,826 real trades' holding-time distribution.
