On 1st July 2025, a significant milestone was set for both YoForex.org and one of our dedicated traders, Alexandra Baksa. She trusted us with her Funding Pips evaluation account, a prop firm challenge designed to test discipline, strategy, and market expertise. Over the weeks that followed, our team worked closely with her to achieve something every trader dreams of: passing both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Funding Pips evaluation and successfully completing the program.
This achievement isn’t just about reaching profit targets. It represents a commitment to risk management, consistency, and the ability to perform under pressure. In this blog post, we’ll take you through the journey—how Alexandra’s account was managed, the steps in the evaluation process, and the key factors that led to success.
What is a Funding Pips Account?
Funding Pips is a leading prop trading firm that allows traders to prove their skills on demo accounts with the promise of managing real capital once the evaluation stages are passed. The process typically involves two crucial steps:
-
Phase 1 – Profit Target With Discipline
Traders must achieve a set profit target (usually between 8–10%) while maintaining strict drawdown and risk management rules. -
Phase 2 – Consistency Test
After passing the first stage, the trader enters Phase 2 with slightly easier profit targets but the same strict risk rules. This phase confirms whether the trader can remain consistent.
Only after completing both stages successfully can a trader receive a certificate of completion and become eligible to trade with the firm’s real capital.
For Alexandra, this was more than just a challenge—it was an opportunity to prove her trading strategies and start her journey as a funded trader.
Starting the Journey – July 1, 2025
When YoForex.org received Alexandra’s Funding Pips account on 1st July 2025, our team immediately set up a structured trading plan. We analyzed the account rules, drawdown limits, and profit targets. The strategy chosen had to balance aggressive profitability with safe risk management, ensuring that the evaluation stages could be cleared without violating firm rules.
The first step was clear: manage the account with discipline and patience.
Phase 1 – Building Momentum
During Phase 1, the account had a clear goal: reach the profit target while avoiding the maximum daily and overall drawdown. The challenges here were not just technical but psychological.
Key highlights of Phase 1:
-
Risk Per Trade Limited – Each trade risk was capped to 1–2% of the account balance.
-
Preferred Assets – Gold (XAUUSD), EURUSD, and GBPUSD were chosen due to liquidity and volatility.
-
Stop Loss and Take Profit Discipline – Every trade was executed with predefined SL/TP, ensuring no overexposure.
-
News Trading Advantage – By leveraging YoForex’s in-house news time strategies, major economic events were turned into opportunities rather than risks.
By the end of the first phase, the account had successfully crossed the profit target, maintaining strong discipline throughout. This was a defining step, proving that Alexandra and YoForex.org’s approach could handle prop firm conditions.
Phase 2 – The Test of Consistency
If Phase 1 is about showing profitability, Phase 2 is about consistency. The profit target is usually lower, but the challenge is to sustain discipline and avoid risky trades.
Highlights from Phase 2:
-
Reduced Trade Frequency – Instead of overtrading, only high-probability setups were taken.
-
Scalping & Swing Combination – Short-term scalping on gold combined with swing trades on EURUSD provided balance.
-
Psychological Edge – Avoiding unnecessary trades was crucial. Emotional discipline played a huge role here.
-
Drawdown Safety Net – Maximum drawdown was never threatened, showing a stable risk-reward ratio.
The second phase was passed with flying colors, and on 20th July 2025, Alexandra received confirmation that the account had officially completed the Funding Pips evaluation.
The Certificate of Success
Passing both phases wasn’t just a matter of strategy—it was a showcase of discipline, teamwork, and proper execution. Alexandra was awarded a certificate of completion by Funding Pips, officially recognizing that her account had cleared the evaluation process.
This certificate is more than just a document. It symbolizes:
-
Trust in YoForex.org’s trading systems.
-
A trader’s ability to handle live market pressure.
-
Readiness for the next level: trading with real capital under a funded program.
Lessons Learned from the Evaluation
The successful completion of Alexandra’s Funding Pips account brings valuable lessons for other traders considering prop firm challenges.
-
Discipline Over Aggression
Passing an evaluation isn’t about making quick profits—it’s about surviving the process without breaking rules. -
Consistency Is the Key
Even with smaller profits per day, consistent performance is more valuable than risky big wins. -
Risk Management Wins Every Time
Keeping drawdowns minimal and protecting capital is more important than chasing targets. -
