Funded Futures Family Bot and Copy-Trading Rules

Funded Futures Family’s recorded rules prohibit bots, algorithmic trading and automated copy-trading bots. The majority of trades should also be held longer than 10 seconds. Traders using hotkeys, bracket orders, platform alerts or account-management tools should separate manual assistance from automated decision-making.

Recorded offer: use code COMPARE for 80% off Velocity, 40% off Premier+ for the first five uses and 30% afterward, and 30% off Prime. No Straight-to-Funded reduction is recorded. Confirm the applied plan discount before payment.

What the automation rule covers

The safest test is control: does the trader personally decide and initiate each trade, or does software make and execute the decision?

Bots versus platform order tools

Not every platform feature is a trading bot. A stop-loss and profit target attached to a manually entered position can be a risk-control tool. An algorithm that scans markets and places orders without the trader’s decision is automated trading.

The grey area is a workflow that begins manually but later changes orders based on coded conditions. Before using it, describe the exact behavior to support and obtain written confirmation. Save that response with the account terms.

Automated copying creates two risks

First, the copier itself may fall within the bot restriction. Second, duplicated orders can cause operational errors:

• A delayed copy can enter at a different price.
• A partial fill can leave account sizes mismatched.
• A rejected order can create different exposure.
• A stop modification may fail on one account.
• Contract limits can differ as funded position size scales.

FFF permits up to five active simulated funded accounts per user, but that account allowance does not cancel the automation restriction.

The ten-second holding expectation

The recorded rules say the majority of trades should be held longer than 10 seconds. This is not a trading target. It is a conduct control intended to distinguish ordinary human-executable activity from certain ultra-short automated patterns.

A trader should review the distribution of holding times, not just the average. A handful of long trades may not change a record dominated by very short executions.

Plan differences still matter

Current plans do not list a daily loss limit. Maximum drawdown remains the hard risk threshold, so a manually controlled workflow still needs strict exposure limits.

A compliant workflow checklist

1. Choose the setup personally.
2. Enter the order manually.
3. Verify the contract and quantity on every account.
4. Confirm any bracket-order feature is permitted.
5. Monitor rejected and partial orders.
6. Keep most activity outside ultra-short holding patterns.
7. Save written support answers about uncertain tools.
8. Stop using a tool if its behavior changes after an update.

Using code COMPARE

1. Select Velocity, Premier+ or Prime on FFF’s official site.
2. Choose account size and add-ons.
3. Enter COMPARE at checkout.
4. Confirm the plan-specific percentage in the order summary.
5. Do not assume the code reduces S2F or every add-on.
6. Save the final invoice and governing rules.

The headline “up to 80%” applies to Velocity. It should not be applied to Premier+ or Prime arithmetic.

Bottom line

FFF’s automation rule is direct: bots, algorithms and automated copying are restricted. Keep trade decisions and entries under personal control, confirm ambiguous platform tools in writing and monitor each account independently. The number of accounts allowed does not change how orders may be generated.
