Securing a funded trading account with a respected prop firm is one of the most challenging yet rewarding milestones for any trader. Prop firm challenges test not just strategy, but also discipline, patience, and risk management. At FxCracked, we are proud to share the achievement of successfully clearing a Funding Pips two-stage evaluation account, handed over to us by trader Anass Chiguer on 1st July 2025.


By 10th August 2025, our team not only completed both evaluation stages but also earned a certificate of funded status for the account. This accomplishment highlights FxCracked’s expertise in handling real prop firm requirements, reinforcing our credibility as both traders and mentors in the forex industry.


The Beginning: Account Handover


On 1st July 2025, Anass Chiguer trusted FxCracked with a Funding Pips evaluation account. Prop firm evaluations are known for their strict rules—maximum daily drawdown limits, overall drawdown thresholds, and required profit targets. Many traders struggle to complete these challenges because they approach them with short-term mindsets or lack strong risk management frameworks.


FxCracked’s philosophy, however, is built around structured risk management and sustainable growth. With years of collective trading experience, we were prepared to take on this challenge with a systematic approach.


Stage One: Passing the Initial Evaluation


Funding Pips’ first stage requires traders to hit a set profit target within a given timeframe, all while maintaining strict drawdown rules.


Our team’s approach included:



  • Risk Per Trade: Capped at 1–2%, ensuring no single trade could damage the account significantly.

  • Diversification: Trades were executed primarily on forex majors and gold, providing both liquidity and volatility.

  • Risk-Reward Ratios: Every setup aimed for at least 1:2, with a few opportunities extended to 1:3.

  • Patience and Precision: Avoiding overtrading and focusing only on high-probability setups.


Stage Two: Proving Consistency


The second stage of Funding Pips evaluations is often considered tougher—not because of higher targets, but because consistency becomes key. Traders must demonstrate they can replicate their performance without deviating from the rules.


Here’s how FxCracked navigated Stage Two:



  • Controlled Position Sizing: Even after a successful first stage, we maintained conservative lot sizing to keep risk contained.

  • Focus on Structure: Trades were taken around liquidity zones, supply-demand imbalances, and well-defined market structures.

  • Psychological Discipline: No revenge trading, no impulsive entries. Every decision aligned with our trading plan.


By 10th August 2025, the account had not only hit its second-stage profit requirements but did so with smooth equity growth and minimal drawdown.


Certificate of Achievement


After completing the evaluation successfully, Funding Pips awarded Anass Chiguer the official funded trader certificate for the account. For FxCracked, this was more than just a piece of paper—it was recognition of our ability to trade within professional risk parameters and deliver consistent results.


This certificate stands as proof that disciplined trading can overcome the toughest evaluation conditions and that FxCracked’s strategies are robust enough to meet institutional-level requirements.


Lessons from the Journey


Clearing this account was not only about technical execution but also about mindset. Here are some key lessons:



  1. Discipline is Everything
    Rules exist to protect traders from emotional decisions. Following strict daily loss limits and sticking to maximum risk per trade allowed us to navigate the challenge safely.

  2. Patience Creates Opportunities
    Not every day is a trading day. Waiting for market structure confirmations and liquidity sweeps gave us high-probability setups that paid off consistently.

  3. Consistency Over Aggression
    The goal in a prop firm challenge is not to double the account quickly—it’s to prove sustainable trading. Our steady approach reflected this principle.

  4. Teamwork Enhances Results
    With collective analysis from the FxCracked team, bias was reduced, and trading decisions became more objective and data-driven.


Why This Matters for Traders


Prop firm accounts are becoming one of the fastest ways for traders to scale their capital. However, success rates are low because many underestimate the discipline required. FxCracked’s achievement with Funding Pips demonstrates that with the right approach, it is possible to pass and earn funding.


For traders seeking funded accounts, this case study offers a blueprint:



  • Use low risk per trade (1–2%).

  • Aim for strong risk-reward ratios (minimum 1:2).

  • Focus on consistency rather than speed.

  • Treat the evaluation like managing a real investor’s account.


FxCracked’s Vision


At FxCracked, our mission goes beyond simply trading. We aim to inspire and educate traders worldwide to adopt disciplined practices that can withstand the pressure of real markets. Successfully clearing this Funding Pips account showcases our ability to manage capital responsibly while adapting to market conditions.


We continue to expand our services, offering traders access to strategies, educational resources, and mentorship programs designed to prepare them for challenges like these.


Conclusion


From the handover on 1st July 2025 to the final certification on 10th August 2025, FxCracked’s journey with Funding Pips demonstrates what is possible when discipline, strategy, and patience align.


For Anass Chiguer, this was the start of a funded trading journey. For FxCracked, it was another milestone proving that professional trading methods can achieve tangible results in the most competitive environments.


The certificate we earned is not just a document—it’s a symbol of trust, discipline, and excellence in trading. As we continue forward, FxCracked remains committed to helping traders worldwide achieve the same success.
