Funded Futures Network review 2026.
The rules that end your account are not on the comparison table.
FFN's homepage puts 10 rows next to a column marked Others. Not one of them mentions the 3 rules that actually decide what you keep: holding through a Tier 1 news release on a funded account is immediate liquidation with all profit forfeited and no appeal, your single best trading day never resets and permanently sets how much profit you must generate to unlock each future payout, and every sim payout is capped between $1,000 and $3,500. All 3 are published in FFN's own Help Centre. Read there on 2 September 2026, alongside the live account selector.
The right firm
3 firms share almost the same name. Every fact here comes from fundedfuturesnetwork.com or its own Zendesk, never a lookalike.
Caps published in full
The complete per-account payout cap table across all 5 sizes, which most reviews of this firm omit entirely.
Contradictions named
A $120 activation fee that 2 official pages charge and 2 others deny. We print both and say which to plan for.
Unusually honest paperwork, unusually harsh breach terms.
The Help Centre publishes worked examples for every payout condition, which almost no competitor does. It also publishes a news rule that liquidates a funded account instantly, and a consistency mechanic that quietly raises the bar every time you get paid.
First, the right firm.
3 separate futures prop firms carry almost the same name, and they are routinely confused in reviews, forums and comparison tables. Getting this wrong is not a pedantic concern. The rules differ materially.
Funded Futures Network
fundedfuturesnetwork.com. The subject of this review. Products: Standard MAX and STEADY.
Funded Futures Family
A separate firm with very similar rules language, including its own net-profit payout rule on a Premier tier.
My Funded Futures
A third, unrelated firm. Frequently returned by search for the other 2 names.
How we handled it
Every figure in this review was read from fundedfuturesnetwork.com or its own Zendesk Help Centre. No third-party tracker was used for any rule.
Funded Futures Network operates from 99 Wall Street in New York and displays the badge In Business Since 2022 on every account card. Execution runs on Rithmic, and every account includes a licence for one of 2 charting platforms, Onyx or Quantower under the FundX branding. The firm publishes its rulebook through a public Zendesk Help Centre organised into 13 categories, and the depth there is the single strongest thing about this operation. Payout eligibility is not summarised, it is set out as a checklist with a worked example for each account type, including the arithmetic. Very few competitors do that.
2 figures the firm reports about itself deserve their labels. The homepage counter of more than 286,000 accounts is not audited, and in this industry an account count typically aggregates every evaluation purchase and every reset rather than counting funded traders, so it says little about how many people are actually being paid. The claimed average support response of 10 seconds is scoped to live chat and Discord during business hours rather than being a round-the-clock guarantee. Independent sentiment sits at 3.9 out of 5 on Trustpilot across roughly 478 reviews, which reads as 4 filled stars and is why the homepage badge looks more flattering than the underlying score.
2 products since 1 July 2026.
On 1 July 2026 at market close, FFN retired Express MAX and replaced it with STEADY. The older OG track, which required a paid Exhibition phase between evaluation and funding, is also closed to new purchases. Existing accounts on the retired products keep their original rules. Anything you read describing OG or Express MAX as buyable is out of date.
Standard MAX
- Monthly subscription, from $68 per month at $25,000
- 5 winning days to pass, each above a minimum net figure
- End-of-day drawdown in evaluation and funded
- Daily loss limit present, but a soft breach that locks the session rather than failing the account
- 40% consistency rule in evaluation and on the funded account
- Sim funded split 80% to the trader
- No published limit on the number of sim payouts
STEADY
- One-time payment, from $74.50 at $25,000
- 2 winning days to pass
- End-of-day trailing drawdown, tighter than Standard MAX at 4 of the 5 sizes
- No daily loss limit at any stage
- 52% consistency in evaluation, none at all once funded
- Sim funded split 90% to the trader
- Capped at 5 sim payouts, then the account goes to live review
The one-time product pays a better split than the subscription product
Standard MAX is badged Popular on the selector and carries the recurring charge. STEADY is the newer one-time purchase. On the sim funded account, STEADY pays 90% to the trader and Standard MAX pays 80%, and STEADY drops the consistency rule and the daily loss limit entirely once funded. The trade is a hard ceiling: a STEADY account is concluded after its 5th payout, while no equivalent limit is published for Standard MAX. You are choosing between a better rate on a finite account and a worse rate on an open-ended one.
Note what the firm's own Account Comparison Quick Reference does with this. That article is titled for all account types and was last updated on 16 April 2026, so it compares Standard OG, Express OG, Standard MAX and Express MAX. 3 of those 4 are retired, and STEADY, one of the 2 products actually on sale, does not appear in it at all. If you land on that page first, you will be comparing a lineup that no longer exists.
What it costs.
Both products run at $25,000, $50,000, $100,000, $150,000 and $250,000. Every account card states no activation fee after passing and no hidden fees, and every account includes a platform licence at no extra cost. The prices below are the discounted ones. Code FUTURESPROP takes 50% off every evaluation, which is $157 off a $100,000 Standard MAX at $315 a month and $114.50 off a $50,000 STEADY at $229. It applies to evaluation purchases only. Reset fees are quoted separately and carry their own discount structure.
Standard MAX, monthly subscription
Selector and Help Centre agree at every size| Account size | List, monthly | Sale, monthly | Profit target | Max drawdown | Daily loss limit | Max contracts | Winning day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $135 | $68 | $2,000 | $1,500 | $1,000 | 3 mini / 30 micro | $100 |
| $50,000 | $160 | $80 | $3,000 | $2,000 | $1,250 | 4 mini / 40 micro | $150 |
| $100,000 | $315 | $158 | $6,000 | $3,600 | $2,500 | 10 mini / 100 micro | $200 |
| $150,000 | $365 | $183 | $9,000 | $5,000 | $3,750 | 15 mini / 150 micro | $250 |
| $250,000 | $590 | $295 | $15,000 | $6,000 | $4,500 | 20 mini / 200 micro | $300 |
STEADY, one-time payment
Tighter drawdown at 4 of the 5 sizes| Account size | Base price | At 50% off | Profit target | Max drawdown | Consistency, eval | Reset, base | Reset at 50% off |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $149 | $74.50 | $2,000 | $1,200 | 52% | $114 | $57 |
| $50,000 | $229 | $114.50 | $3,000 | $2,000 | 52% | $180 | $90 |
| $100,000 | $308 | $154.00 | $6,000 | $3,200 | 52% | $270 | $135 |
| $150,000 | $585 | $292.50 | $9,000 | $4,700 | 52% | $480 | $240 |
| $250,000 | $750 | $375.00 | $15,000 | $5,500 | 52% | $620 | $310 |
One comparison is worth pulling out. At $50,000 the 2 products carry an identical $2,000 drawdown and an identical $3,000 target. STEADY passes in 2 winning days instead of 5, drops the daily loss limit, drops the consistency rule once funded, and pays 90% instead of 80%. It costs $114.50 once against $80 every month. On that size, the only argument for Standard MAX is the absence of a published payout ceiling.
The $120 that 2 pages charge and 2 pages deny.
FFN's documentation is better than most, but 2 costs are published in opposite directions on official surfaces that are all live today. Both are the kind of number a buyer plans around.
Activation fee: $120, or none?
Activation fee: $120. Listed for Standard OG, Express OG, Standard MAX and Express MAX alike.
After passing our review, you'll pay a $120 activation fee.
Activation Fee: NONE. Repeated in the footer line under every card: no hidden fees, no activation fee after passing.
No activation fee at any size.
What to do about it. The selector and the STEADY article are the 2 most recent surfaces and they agree, so the working assumption is that the fee was removed. The 2 pages still charging it were last updated in April and were written for the retired OG and Express lineup. Confirm in writing before you pass, because $120 on a $74.50 account changes the economics completely.
Reset fee: a flat $100, or $114 to $620?
Evaluation accounts can be reset directly through your FFN Dashboard. The reset fee is $100. No product exception is given.
Reset Fee: $100.
Tiered reset pricing: $114 at 25K, $180 at 50K, $270 at 100K, $480 at 150K and $620 at 250K, halved for frequent resets.
The reset article predates STEADY by more than 4 months and its flat $100 was written for the MAX lineup. On a $250,000 STEADY the published reset is $620, more than 6 times the figure the reset article gives. Budget from the STEADY article for STEADY and from the selector for Standard MAX.
2 smaller inconsistencies are worth knowing about because they will send you to the wrong page. The Help Centre currently carries 2 different articles both numbered and titled Article 5.2, Payout Eligibility by Account Type, one updated 21 July 2026 and one older. Only the newer one covers STEADY. And Article 5.1, the payout overview updated 24 June 2026, sets out general eligibility for all accounts without mentioning STEADY's 5-winning-day cycle or its net rule, because it predates the product. When 2 FFN articles disagree, the more recent one has been right every time we checked.
Worth saying plainly: none of this reads as concealment. FFN changed its entire product lineup on 1 July 2026 and the older articles simply have not all been retired. The firm publishes more detail than its competitors and that is precisely why the stale pages are findable. The practical consequence is the same either way, so check the date stamp on any FFN article before you act on it.
The rule that is not on the comparison table.
FFN's own comparison table has a row reading News trading: Permitted. That row sits inside the evaluation table. There is no news row in the funded table, and the reason is that on a funded account the answer is the opposite.
Holding through a Tier 1 release on a funded account liquidates it
FFN's news article sets out 4 phases. In evaluation, trading Tier 1 news is permitted and cannot fail the account. In Exhibition, Sim Funded and Live Funded, it is immediate account liquidation. The firm's own wording is unambiguous: the account is liquidated, you are not eligible for funding, all profits in the account are forfeited, this cannot be reversed, and there is no appeal process.
Tier 1 news trading permitted. Does not blow the account.
Not permitted. Immediate account liquidation.
The requirement is to be completely flat for a 3-minute window around every Tier 1 event: 1 minute before, during, and 1 minute after. Flat means no open positions and no pending orders of any kind. FFN is explicit that a resting limit order sitting in the market counts as not flat, which is the detail that catches automated and bracket-based traders. Tier 1 covers the usual list, CPI, FOMC rate decisions, non-farm payrolls and GDP releases, and FFN supplies a Financial Juice calendar inside the dashboard so you can filter for them.
Read that against the buffer mechanic in the next section and the exposure becomes clear. On a $100,000 Standard MAX you must climb $3,600 above your starting balance before a single dollar is withdrawable. If a forgotten resting order is live through a CPI print at any point during that climb, the account is gone and the $3,600 goes with it. There is no soft breach here and no second chance, unlike the daily loss limit, which FFN handles far more gently.
The daily loss limit is a soft breach, and that is rarer than it sounds
On Standard MAX, hitting the daily loss limit in either the evaluation or the funded account locks you out for the remainder of the session and flattens open positions. It does not fail the account. Trading resumes at the next session open at 6:00 PM EST. Most futures firms treat a daily limit breach as terminal. STEADY removes the daily loss limit altogether at both stages.
The drawdown model is equally reasonable. Both products use an end-of-day trailing drawdown that follows the closing balance upward, then locks permanently at the starting balance plus $100 once it gets there, and never moves down. FFN's own example: a funded $50,000 account locks its floor at $50,100 and can never be drawn below that level again, however high the balance climbs. Combined with the absence of any intraday trailing, that is one of the softer risk models in futures prop. The severity at this firm is concentrated almost entirely in the news rule.
What actually pays you.
The homepage sells up to 90/10 and daily payouts. Both describe the Live Funded stage. In the Sim Funded stage, where almost every trader will spend their time, the split is 80% on Standard MAX and 90% on STEADY, and 3 separate limits sit between you and the money.
First the buffer. Before any withdrawal, the account must climb by the full amount of its maximum drawdown. On a $100,000 Standard MAX that is $3,600 of profit before a single dollar becomes withdrawable, and Standard MAX adds a further condition that the balance must sit at least $500 above the buffer level. Second the per-account cap, which is tiered by how many payouts that specific account has already made. Third the global cap: no user may withdraw more than $10,000 across all their accounts in a single payout event, and FFN always applies the lower of the 2 caps.
Per-account payout caps, both products, all 5 sizes
Effective 20 April 2026, applies to every sim funded account| Account size | Buffer required | Cap, payouts 1 to 3 | Cap, payouts 4 and up | 5-payout gross ceiling | STEADY net at 90% | Standard MAX net at 80% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $1,200 to $1,500 | $1,000 | $1,200 | $5,400 | $4,860 | $4,320 |
| $50,000 | $2,000 | $1,500 | $2,000 | $8,500 | $7,650 | $6,800 |
| $100,000 | $3,200 to $3,600 | $2,000 | $2,500 | $11,000 | $9,900 | $8,800 |
| $150,000 | $4,700 to $5,000 | $2,500 | $3,000 | $13,500 | $12,150 | $10,800 |
| $250,000 | $5,500 to $6,000 | $3,000 | $3,500 | $16,000 | $14,400 | $12,800 |
Note the shape of that table. The cap does not scale with the account. A $250,000 account is 10 times the size of a $25,000 account and clears 3 times as much per payout. Whichever size you buy, the first 3 payouts are worth between $1,000 and $3,000 gross, and the buffer you must build first is larger than the payout you are allowed to take. On a $150,000 STEADY you build $4,700 of profit to unlock a first payout capped at $2,500.
The cadence differs by product and this is where most secondhand write-ups get it wrong. FFN's payout overview describes the process as same-day: the day you become eligible is the day you can request, with no weekly or monthly cycle. That is accurate for Standard MAX, where eligibility is buffer plus $500 plus consistency and nothing else. STEADY is different. Every STEADY payout cycle requires a fresh count of 5 winning days, each above the minimum daily net figure for the size, plus a net rule requiring the balance to sit above the level left by the previous payout. A green day that only recovers a prior loss does not qualify. The commonly repeated figure of a payout every 3 days appears nowhere in FFN's Help Centre and should not be relied on for either product.
Your best day never resets.
This is the most consequential mechanic at Funded Futures Network and the one no competing review has published. It is not hidden. FFN sets it out with worked arithmetic in its payout eligibility article. It simply appears nowhere near the point of purchase.
Standard MAX carries a 40% consistency rule on the funded account, measured as your highest single-day net profit divided by the profit you have earned since your last payout. After each withdrawal, the profit side of that fraction resets to zero. The best-day side does not. FFN states it plainly: your best day is permanent and carries forward into every future consistency calculation.
The consequence is a ratchet. Required profit per cycle equals your best day divided by 40%, which is your best day multiplied by 2.5. One outsized session early in the account's life permanently raises the amount of new profit you must generate to unlock every subsequent payout, for as long as you hold that account. FFN's own example uses a $1,000 best day and concludes you need $2,500 of new profit in each cycle to bring consistency back to 40%.
The best day at which you must earn more than you can withdraw
Standard MAX funded accounts, payouts 1 to 3| Account size | Payout cap | Break-even best day | Required profit if best day is $1,000 | Withdrawable | Left in the account |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $1,000 | $400 | $2,500 | $1,000 | $1,500 |
| $50,000 | $1,500 | $600 | $2,500 | $1,500 | $1,000 |
| $100,000 | $2,000 | $800 | $2,500 | $2,000 | $500 |
| $150,000 | $2,500 | $1,000 | $2,500 | $2,500 | $0 |
| $250,000 | $3,000 | $1,200 | $3,000 | $3,000 | $0 |
Look at how low those thresholds are. On a $50,000 Standard MAX, a single $600 day puts you permanently into a position where each cycle demands more profit than the cap will release. A $600 session on that account is entirely ordinary. The daily loss limit alone is $1,250 and the winning-day minimum is $150. There is nothing exotic about the day that triggers this, and once it is on record there is no way to remove it.
STEADY has no consistency rule on the funded account at all
The 52% consistency rule on STEADY applies to the evaluation only. Once funded, a STEADY account has no consistency rule and no daily loss limit. It uses a 5-winning-day count and a net rule instead, both of which reset cleanly each cycle and neither of which carries anything forward. For any trader whose edge produces occasional large days, STEADY is structurally the better product, and it is also the cheaper one to own. That is the opposite of what the Popular badge on the selector implies.
One more detail from the same article that softens the picture slightly. When the consistency tally resets to zero after a payout, your money does not move. The buffer stays, the balance stays, only the measurement restarts. Your consistency percentage will read badly at the start of every new cycle purely because the denominator has gone to zero, and that is expected rather than a problem. The problem is only that the numerator, your best day, is permanent.
The road to live capital.
Live Funded is where FFN's headline numbers live. The 90/10 split, the daily same-day payouts, the absence of any payout cap and the absence of any consistency rule all describe that stage. Getting there costs you everything you built in simulation.
Accumulated sim profit is forfeited at the transition
For every account purchased after 1 July 2026 at market close, on both Standard MAX and STEADY, FFN states that the trader's accumulated sim funded profit is forfeited when the account moves to live and does not transfer. The move happens only if a risk manager approves it. Approval is required and is not automatic.
That interacts badly with the buffer. Your buffer is not withdrawable profit, it is the cushion you had to build before any payout was permitted, and it sits in the account until the account ends. On a $250,000 STEADY that is $5,500 you generated and never received. When the account transitions to live, it goes. The rational play is therefore to run your 5 payouts to the cap before any transition, so that the amount left behind is as small as the rules allow.
On STEADY the trigger is mechanical: the account goes to live review after its 5th payout. Review is not the same as promotion, and FFN is careful about that wording throughout. On Standard MAX no equivalent trigger is published in the Help Centre. FFN's own blog has described a threshold of $5,000 or more in cumulative sim payouts as the point at which a trader can request a move through a risk manager, which is a dollar figure rather than a payout count and is a request rather than an entitlement. We could not confirm that threshold inside the Help Centre itself, so treat it as indicative.
The practical read. Price the account on what the sim stage pays, because that is what you are actually buying. Treat Live Funded as an option that may or may not be exercised in your favour, and note that the profit split improves from 80% to 90% on Standard MAX at exactly the moment your existing profit is written off.
How we checked this. Same 4 steps, every firm.
Sourced
The live account selector at all 5 sizes, plus 12 articles across 6 categories of FFN's own Zendesk Help Centre. No third-party tracker was used for any rule.
Cross-checked
Every price, cap and threshold matched against a second FFN surface. The selector and the Help Centre agree exactly on Standard MAX pricing, which is rare and worth saying.
Dated
Every FFN article carries a visible update stamp. Where 2 articles disagree, we name both dates and say which one the newer surface supports.
Left open
3 questions could not be settled from official pages, and 1 more is only partially verified. All 4 are named in the text and in the sources block rather than filled with a plausible guess.
One correction to our own earlier research is worth publishing. A prior draft of our brief recorded that no net-profit payout rule existed anywhere on Funded Futures Network and attributed the similar-sounding rule to Funded Futures Family, the lookalike firm. That was wrong. FFN's STEADY article, published 1 July 2026, carries a section headed Net Rule that applies to all STEADY funded accounts. It is described in section 06 above. We flag the error rather than quietly fixing it, because the naming confusion that caused it is exactly what this review is meant to resolve.
The balance sheet.
Strengths
- The most detailed public rulebook we have read in futures prop, with worked arithmetic for every payout condition
- End-of-day drawdown at both stages, no intraday trailing anywhere in the range
- The drawdown floor locks permanently at starting balance plus $100 and never moves down again
- Standard MAX daily loss limit is a soft breach that locks the session rather than failing the account
- STEADY carries no daily loss limit and no consistency rule once funded
- News trading is fully permitted during the evaluation and cannot fail an evaluation account
- Evaluation entry from $68 per month on Standard MAX and $74.50 once on STEADY
- A platform licence for Onyx or Quantower is included at no extra cost
- No payout fees on ACH, PayPal or bank wire, and a $500 minimum request
- Copy trading is supported, with a limit of 5 accounts on STEADY
Frictions
- Holding through a Tier 1 news release on a funded account is immediate liquidation with all profit forfeited and no appeal
- Your best trading day never resets and permanently raises the profit needed to unlock each Standard MAX payout
- The buffer you must build is larger than the first payout you are allowed to take, at every size
- Per-account caps barely scale: a $250,000 account clears 3 times a $25,000 account, not 10 times
- STEADY accounts are concluded after the 5th payout, capping a $50,000 account at $7,650
- Accumulated sim profit is forfeited when an account moves to live
- The move to live requires risk manager approval and is not automatic
- A $120 activation fee is still published on 2 official surfaces and denied on 2 others
- Reset pricing is a flat $100 in one article and tiered to $620 in another
- Growth and support-speed figures are firm-reported and unaudited
Strong fit
- Traders who want a rulebook they can read in full before paying anything
- Anyone who wants end-of-day drawdown rather than intraday trailing
- Traders with occasional large days, who should take STEADY specifically
- Anyone who wants a one-time payment with no recurring charge, which means STEADY
- Traders who fail evaluations often, given a $100 reset on Standard MAX
- Anyone testing a firm cheaply at $74.50 for a real $25,000 evaluation
Poor fit
- Traders who hold positions through CPI, FOMC, NFP or GDP releases
- Automated and bracket-based strategies that leave resting orders in the market
- Anyone reading the 90/10 headline as the split they will actually receive in simulation
- Traders planning a long compounding run on a single STEADY account
- Anyone who needs a payout cap that scales with the account they bought
- Traders who need certainty on the activation fee before committing
Frequently asked.
Is Funded Futures Network a legitimate prop firm?
Judge it on what is checkable rather than on a verdict. The firm gives a New York address at 99 Wall Street, displays an In Business Since 2022 badge on every account card, and publishes its complete rulebook on a public Help Centre before you pay, including the rules that will cost you an account. That last point is the strongest signal here: the news liquidation rule, the payout caps and the consistency mechanic are all published in FFN's own words with worked examples. Against that, the growth and support figures on the homepage are self-reported and unaudited, independent sentiment sits at 3.9 out of 5 on Trustpilot, and 2 cost figures are currently published in opposite directions. Confirm the activation fee and the reset fee for your specific product in writing before buying.
What is the difference between Standard MAX and STEADY?
Standard MAX is a monthly subscription, needs 5 winning days to pass, carries a soft daily loss limit and a 40% consistency rule in both the evaluation and the funded account, and pays 80% in simulation. STEADY is a single payment, needs 2 winning days, has no daily loss limit at any stage, applies a 52% consistency rule to the evaluation only, and pays 90% in simulation. STEADY runs a tighter drawdown at 4 of the 5 sizes and is concluded after its 5th payout, where Standard MAX has no published payout ceiling. At $50,000 the drawdown and target are identical between the 2, which makes STEADY the stronger buy at that size on every axis except account longevity.
What is Funded Futures Network's profit split?
It depends on the product and the stage, and the headline number describes only one of them. In the Sim Funded stage, Standard MAX pays 80% to the trader and STEADY pays 90%. In the Live Funded stage, all account types pay 90%. The up to 90/10 figure on the homepage comparison table is labelled for Live Funded and is accurate as labelled, but it is not the split most traders will be operating under. There are no payout fees on ACH, PayPal or bank wire, so the split is the whole deduction.
How fast does Funded Futures Network pay out?
Keep 3 things separate. Eligibility is what qualifies a request: buffer built, and for Standard MAX a balance $500 above the buffer plus consistency at or below 40%, and for STEADY 5 winning days in the cycle plus the net rule. Frequency is how often you can ask: on Standard MAX, any day you are eligible, with no fixed cycle, and on STEADY, once per 5-winning-day cycle. Processing is how fast an approved request is paid, described as same day. The widely repeated claim of a payout every 3 days does not appear anywhere in FFN's Help Centre.
What platforms does Funded Futures Network support?
Execution runs on Rithmic, and every account card states pricing is quoted on Rithmic. Each account also includes a free licence for one of 2 charting platforms, Onyx or Quantower under the FundX branding, which you choose at setup. EdgeProX appears in FFN-sponsored placements elsewhere but was not present on the account selector we read, so treat it as unconfirmed until you see it in the dashboard. FFN also supplies a Financial Juice news calendar inside the dashboard, which matters because you need it to identify the Tier 1 events that can liquidate a funded account.
Is Funded Futures Network the same as Funded Futures Family or My Funded Futures?
No. These are 3 separate companies with 3 separate rulebooks, and the confusion between them is the single largest source of wrong information about this firm. Funded Futures Network is fundedfuturesnetwork.com and sells Standard MAX and STEADY. Funded Futures Family is an unrelated firm whose rules language is similar enough that its Premier tier payout rules are regularly attributed to FFN. My Funded Futures is a third, separate operation. Before acting on any rule you read about any of these names, check which domain the source is actually describing.
How many account sizes does Funded Futures Network offer?
5 sizes, and both products are available at all of them: $25,000, $50,000, $100,000, $150,000 and $250,000. Profit targets are the same across both products at each size, running $2,000, $3,000, $6,000, $9,000 and $15,000, which is 6% of the notional at every level except $25,000 where it is 8%. Maximum drawdown differs by product. Standard MAX runs $1,500, $2,000, $3,600, $5,000 and $6,000. STEADY runs $1,200, $2,000, $3,200, $4,700 and $5,500, which is tighter everywhere except $50,000.
How do Funded Futures Network payouts work?
You must first build a buffer equal to the account's maximum drawdown, and only profit above that buffer is withdrawable. Each request is then subject to 2 caps and FFN applies whichever is lower: a per-account cap tiered by how many payouts that account has already made, running $1,000 to $3,000 for the first 3 payouts and $1,200 to $3,500 from the 4th onward, and a global cap of $10,000 across all your accounts in any single payout event. The minimum request is $500. On STEADY the account is concluded after the 5th payout and moved to live review. The full cap table by size is in section 06 above.
Which countries are restricted from Funded Futures Network?
FFN publishes its restricted list in Article 12.1 of its Help Centre, Country Restrictions and Product List, which names 23 prohibited countries: Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Burma, the Central African Republic, Cuba, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Mali, Nauru, Nicaragua, Nigeria, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Venezuela and Yemen. We read this list from search results rather than a full page load, so verify it directly against Article 12.1 if your country is near the edge of the list or if you are buying from a jurisdiction with recent sanctions activity.
Final verdict.
Funded Futures Network publishes more of its own rulebook, in more detail, than any futures prop firm we have reviewed. It also runs the harshest single breach rule in the category. Both of those things are true and neither is hidden.
Start with what earns the score. The Help Centre does not summarise its payout conditions, it sets them out as checklists with worked arithmetic, including the awkward parts. The drawdown is end of day at both stages with no intraday trailing, and the floor locks permanently at starting balance plus $100. The daily loss limit on Standard MAX is a session lockout rather than an account failure, which is genuinely uncommon. Evaluations start at $68 a month or $74.50 once, a platform licence is included, resets on Standard MAX are $100, and there are no fees on any payout method. For a trader who wants to read the whole rulebook before spending anything, this is the easiest firm in the category to evaluate.
What holds it at 8.2 is concentrated in 2 mechanics. The first is the Tier 1 news rule: hold a position or leave a resting order through CPI, FOMC, NFP or GDP on a funded account and it is liquidated, all profit is forfeited, and FFN states there is no appeal. The second is the consistency ratchet on Standard MAX. Your best single day is permanent, required profit per cycle is that best day divided by 40%, and on a $50,000 account any best day above $600 means every future cycle demands more profit than the cap will release. That is not a rule most buyers will find before they need it.
Layer the caps on top and the shape of the product becomes clear. You build a buffer larger than your first permitted payout, the caps barely scale with account size, and on STEADY the account ends after 5 payouts with a lifetime ceiling of $7,650 on a $50,000. When an account does move to live, the sim profit you built is forfeited. None of that makes the firm a poor choice, but it does mean the 90/10 and daily payout figures on the homepage describe a stage rather than a product.
The practical recommendation. Buy STEADY, and at $50,000 in particular. At that size it carries the same $2,000 drawdown and $3,000 target as Standard MAX, passes in 2 winning days instead of 5, drops the daily loss limit and the consistency rule once funded, pays 90% instead of 80%, and costs $114.50 once against $80 every month. Take Standard MAX only if you want an open-ended account and your results are genuinely even day to day, meaning your largest session stays under the break-even figure in section 07. Whichever you choose, put every Tier 1 release in your calendar and be flat around all of them, and use Code FUTURESPROP to halve the evaluation fee, which brings that $50,000 STEADY to $114.50.
