The $9 fee gap hides a $3,000 second target
Classic FunderPro is a 5% day and a static 10% maximum, matching the FTMO 2-step dollar lines on $100,000. Both ask for four minimum trading days. Both reset around a European midnight, FTMO at 00:00 CE(S)T from day-start balance plus floating PnL, FunderPro at 00:00 server time, UTC+2 or UTC+3, from day-start balance plus floating equity. The contract that looks identical then asks FunderPro traders for 8% in Phase 2. That is $8,000 after you have already made $10,000. FTMO asks for $5,000.
One Phase at FunderPro is a different product: a 4% day and a 6% end-of-day trailing maximum, $4,000 and $6,000. FTMO's 1-step is a 3% day and a 10% end-of-day trail. Do not carry Classic lots onto One Phase because the fee was the same conversation. Create a Venasri login with Classic and the FTMO 2-step stored separately even though the daily line matches.
A payout can be requested at $1,000 of funded profit
FunderPro's distinctive cash rule is a daily on-demand payout once funded profit exceeds 1%, which is $1,000 on this account, at a split from 80% toward 90%. Fast Track and those daily requests also want a 45% consistency score. A day that is nearly half the cycle can stall the withdrawal you bought the firm to get. FTMO pays 80% to 90% on a bi-weekly cycle starting 14 days after the first funded trade, without that 45% score.
Forty-five percent of a $5,000 funded cycle is $2,250. You can be inside the $5,000 loss line, inside the $10,000 maximum, and still be too concentrated for the payout desk. Plan the funded week as a series of smaller days if the on-demand button is the reason you paid $549.
Funded FunderPro wants a stop on the position
Personal EAs and risk guards are allowed on MT5, TradeLocker, and cTrader, inside 2,000 requests a day, and funded positions need a stop-loss. FTMO allows EAs on a wider platform list inside the same request ceiling and does not publish that funded stop as a separate pass-fail at the fill. A naked FunderPro funded ticket can fail a review that an FTMO ticket would still be arguing about on the daily loss alone.
Funded news is blocked for two minutes around high-impact releases, close to FTMO Standard. Weekend holding is the Swing variant, as it is at FTMO. Bot controls should attach the stop before the funded FunderPro order is live, and they should keep the request count shared in your head if you run both MT5 logins on the same afternoon.
Same $4,250 flatten, different second mountain
Equity Guard can sit near $4,250 on both Classic books. That is the correct twin for the day and the wrong twin for the target. After FunderPro Phase 1, the remaining job is $8,000 with the same $500 risk unit you used for the first $10,000. At 2R that unit pays about $1,000, so Phase 2 is several more net winners, not a victory lap. Raising the lot because Phase 1 felt easy is how the static $10,000 disappears in week two.
If you want the $1,000 on-demand payout, add a green-day ceiling near $2,000 so one session cannot own the 45% score. FTMO will not ask you for that ceiling. FunderPro will, on the exact feature that makes the firm interesting. Partial open equity before midnight on both servers. Floating profit is inside both daily formulas.
