About the two firms
FundingPips
FundingPips' 2 Step Standard is a classic evaluation: 8% then 5%, a 5% daily limit from the higher of opening balance or equity, and a 10% maximum loss fixed to your start, with an 80% split. It's a sensible fit for most swing and day traders.
Forex & CFDs
Rules to watch: Daily loss measured from the higher of opening balance or equity, resets 00:00 UTC+3. One trade every 30 days or the account breaches. Zero (instant): first 3% of profit can't be withdrawn and you need 7 profitable days (0.25%+) in each rolling 30 days. On 2 Step Standard the weekly and two-week payout cycles have no consistency rule, and the two-week cycle is what PropPassCheck simulates. The On Demand cycle needs a 35% consistency score (no day over 35% of total profit) and 7 profitable days.

The5%ers
The5%ers has two main routes. High Stakes is a classic 2-step (10% then 5%, 5% daily, 10% maximum loss fixed to your start), where the minimum days are profitable days of 0.5% or more. Hyper Growth is a single 10% phase with a 6% fixed maximum loss; its 3% daily limit pauses trading for the day rather than failing the account.
Forex & CFDs · United Kingdom · MT5
Rules to watch: High Stakes minimum days are profitable days of 0.5%+ (modelled as trading days). Hyper Growth's 3% daily limit pauses trading for the day instead of failing the account, so it isn't modelled as a breach. Payouts bi-weekly with a $150 minimum. Accounts inactive for 30 days close.
