What is FundingRock?
FundingRock is a proprietary trading firm that provides funding to skilled traders. We offer challenge accounts where traders can prove their skills and get access to substantial capital for trading.
How to Become a Funded Trader?
To become a funded trader, you need to pass our evaluation process. Choose an account size, complete the challenge phases by meeting profit targets while staying within risk parameters, and once successful, you’ll receive a funded account.
Prohibited Trading Practices
At FundingRock, we maintain a strict standard of fairness, integrity, and transparency across our Evaluation and Funded Accounts.
Any attempt to gain an unfair advantage, manipulate market conditions, or exploit system vulnerabilities will result in immediate action – including account suspension, profit forfeiture, or permanent termination.
Below is a detailed list of prohibited trading practices, along with common examples for clarity.
What is the Inactivity Rule?
The inactivity rule requires traders to place at least one trade within a specified period to keep their account active. This ensures that funded accounts are being actively used for trading purposes.
How Many Accounts Can I Have?
FundingRock lets you purchase and manage multiple Funded Account Challenges at the same time. However, there is a limit on the total starting equity.
- You can have unlimited active challenges running.
- The maximum combined initial capital across all accounts is $100,000.
This allows traders to diversify their strategies while staying within the equity cap.
For example, you could have 10 accounts with $10,000 each, or 4 accounts with $25,000 each. As long as the total does not exceed $100,000, you are within the limit.
This limit is in place to protect both our traders and our firm.
