Funded Futures Family Review 2026: Complete Rules, Plans and Payouts
Funded Futures Family (FFF) is a California-based futures proprietary trading firm founded in 2024. It offers four current paths: Velocity, Premier+, Prime and Straight-to-Funded (S2F). Traders use simulated accounts with live market data, can receive real payouts when eligible, and may later be considered for the Professional or live stage.
FFF’s rules are not identical across plans. The biggest differences are the drawdown model, evaluation consistency, minimum trading days, funded payout consistency, payout buffer and withdrawal cap. This review explains the practical impact of each rule so traders can compare the plans properly.
Rules verified on August 18, 2026. Prop-firm terms can change. Check the exact plan rules shown in your FFF dashboard and at checkout before trading.

Rules That Apply Across Current Plans
- No daily loss limit: The hard loss rule is the active maximum drawdown. A trader can still fail the account by touching or falling below that threshold.
- News trading is allowed: FFF currently permits trading through events such as CPI, NFP and FOMC. Slippage, gaps and execution risk remain the trader’s responsibility.
- No activation fee: Passing an eligible evaluation does not create a separate funded activation charge.
- 90/10 simulated-funded split: The trader receives 90% of an approved simulated-funded payout. The later Professional Stage currently publishes a separate 80/20 split.
- Five funded accounts maximum: A user may hold up to five active simulated funded accounts in total across all plans.
- One user profile: Multiple personal profiles are prohibited.
- Manual trading environment: Bots, algorithmic systems and automated copy-trading bots are not permitted.
- Anti-micro-scalping rule: The majority of trades should be held for more than 10 seconds. Extremely fast, repetitive or non-human execution patterns may be reviewed.
- VPN and VPS: Permitted at the trader’s own risk.
- Identity verification: KYC is required for individual payouts and KYB may be required for an LLC. The selected payout-provider account must also be verified.
- Payout requests are final: Trading-day counting for the next cycle starts after the payout-request day. Profits earned on the request day remain in the account but do not count toward the next minimum-day requirement.
- Total payout ceiling: FFF currently publishes a $100,000 total simulated payout cap per user, in addition to plan-specific per-request limits.
- Inactivity: Current help guidance requires at least one trade per week, Monday through Friday, held for a minimum of 10 seconds.
- Funded resets: Up to three paid funded-account resets may be available per account. Evaluation resets and charges depend on the plan.
Drawdown Explained in Plain English
End-of-Day Trailing Drawdown
EOD drawdown is based on the account’s highest closing balance, not the highest unrealized intraday equity.
Formula: highest end-of-day balance minus the plan’s maximum loss amount.
The loss threshold moves upward after profitable closing balances. On plans where it locks, it stops moving after reaching the base account balance. Intraday unrealized gains do not immediately pull the threshold higher.
Intraday Trailing Drawdown
Intraday trailing drawdown follows the highest account equity in real time, including unrealized profit.
Formula: highest unrealized account value minus the maximum loss amount.
This is stricter because a profitable open trade can raise the threshold before the profit is closed. If the market reverses, the threshold does not move back down.
What a Payout Does to Drawdown
A payout reduces the account balance but does not move the existing drawdown threshold downward. Traders should calculate the remaining cushion before requesting because a large withdrawal can leave the account close to its loss threshold.
Velocity Rules
Velocity is the intraday-trailing plan. It has a structured three-day evaluation and payout cycle. A paid Daily Payout Add-On removes the funded-stage waiting-day and consistency requirements, but the evaluation still follows its listed rules.
Velocity Evaluation
| Account | Profit Target | Intraday Max Drawdown | Consistency | Max Position |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $2,500 | $1,250 | 40% | 3 minis / 30 micros |
| $50K | $4,000 | $2,250 | 40% | 5 minis / 50 micros |
| $100K | $7,000 | $3,250 | 40% | 10 minis / 100 micros |
| $150K | $10,000 | $4,750 | 40% | 15 minis / 150 micros |
- Minimum three trading days to pass.
- 40% evaluation consistency.
- Intraday trailing drawdown in both evaluation and funded stages.
- No daily loss limit.
Velocity Funded Payout Rules
| Account | Profit Required Per Cycle | Standard Max Payout | Daily Add-On Max Payout |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,500 | $750 | $600 |
| $50K | $3,000 | $1,250 | $1,000 |
| $100K | $6,000 | $2,250 | $1,500 |
| $150K | $9,000 | $3,250 | $2,500 |
Standard Velocity
- Minimum three trading days between payout requests.
- Each counted profit day requires at least $200.
- 40% consistency: the largest profitable day cannot exceed 40% of the relevant profit calculation.
- The profit requirement must be reached again after each approved payout.
Velocity with Daily Payout Add-On
- No minimum trading-day requirement for the funded payout cycle.
- No funded consistency rule.
- The full account-size profit requirement must still be met between requests.
- Maximum one payout request per day.
Trader impact: Velocity offers the lowest-friction payout schedule with the add-on, but its real-time trailing drawdown is the most sensitive to unrealized profit and reversals.
Premier+ Rules
Premier+ lets traders choose either intraday trailing or EOD drawdown. It is the main FFF option for traders who want no funded consistency rule and no traditional payout buffer.
Premier+ Evaluation Options
- Fast Pass: Minimum one trading day and no consistency rule during evaluation.
- Standard: Minimum two trading days and a 50% evaluation consistency rule.
- Funded stage: No consistency rule on current Premier+ accounts.
- No daily loss limit.
- No activation fee.
Premier+ Intraday Drawdown Accounts
| Account | Profit Target | Max Drawdown | Max Position |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,500 | $1,000 | 3 minis / 30 micros |
| $50K | $3,000 | $2,000 | 5 minis / 50 micros |
| $100K | $6,000 | $3,000 | 10 minis / 100 micros |
| $150K | $9,000 | $4,500 | 15 minis / 150 micros |
Premier+ EOD Drawdown Accounts
| Account | Profit Target | Max Drawdown | Max Position |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,500 | $750 | 3 minis / 30 micros |
| $50K | $3,000 | $1,500 | 5 minis / 50 micros |
| $100K | $6,000 | $2,500 | 10 minis / 100 micros |
| $150K | $9,000 | $4,000 | 15 minis / 150 micros |
Premier+ Funded Payout Rules
- Five qualifying trading days per payout cycle under the detailed plan page.
- Each qualifying day requires at least $200 in profit.
- No funded consistency rule.
- No standard drawdown-plus-$100 payout buffer.
- After the first payout, the account must be at least $1 in net profit above the balance used for the previous request.
| Account | Maximum Per Request |
|---|---|
| $25K | 50% of profit, up to $1,000 |
| $50K | 50% of profit, up to $2,000 |
| $100K | 50% of profit, up to $2,500 |
| $150K | 50% of profit, up to $3,000 |
Trader impact: Premier+ is the clearest fit for traders whose profits are uneven because the funded stage has no consistency percentage. The EOD version is easier to track, but its permitted loss amount is smaller than the intraday version at the same account size.
Prime Rules
Prime uses EOD trailing drawdown and can be passed in one trading day. There is no evaluation consistency rule, but the funded payout stage has a 40% consistency requirement and a protected balance buffer.
Prime Evaluation
| Account | Profit Target | EOD Max Drawdown | Included Position | Prime Max Position |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,250 | $1,000 | 2 minis / 20 micros | 3 minis / 30 micros |
| $50K | $3,000 | $2,000 | 4 minis / 40 micros | 5 minis / 50 micros |
| $100K | $6,000 | $3,000 | 6 minis / 60 micros | 10 minis / 100 micros |
| $150K | $9,000 | $4,500 | 10 minis / 100 micros | 15 minis / 150 micros |
- Minimum one trading day.
- No evaluation consistency rule.
- No daily loss limit.
- EOD trailing drawdown.
- Included and Prime Max versions differ mainly in their maximum evaluation position size.
Prime Funded Payout Rules
| Account | Cycle Profit Target | Required Buffer Balance | Max Payout 1 | Max Payout 2+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $300 | $26,100 | $1,000 | $1,500 |
| $50K | $500 | $52,100 | $2,000 | $2,500 |
| $100K | $750 | $103,100 | $3,000 | $3,500 |
| $150K | $1,000 | $154,600 | $3,500 | $4,000 |
- Minimum three trading days between requests.
- Current payout guidance says a counted profit day needs at least $200.
- 40% consistency.
- The balance must remain above the plan’s drawdown amount plus $100.
- The protected buffer cannot be withdrawn.
- The cycle profit target must be reached again after an approved payout.
Trader impact: Prime’s EOD drawdown is easier to manage than Velocity’s intraday trail, but the funded payout buffer means not all displayed profit is withdrawable.
Straight-to-Funded (S2F) Rules
S2F skips the evaluation. The trader pays once and begins directly in a simulated funded account.
| Account | Max Drawdown | Initial Payout Profit Goal | Payout 2+ Profit Goal | Max Position |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,000 | $1,500 | $1,000 | 1 mini / 10 micros |
| $50K | $2,000 | $3,000 | $2,000 | 5 minis / 50 micros |
| $100K | $3,000 | $6,000 | $3,000 | 10 minis / 100 micros |
| $150K | $4,500 | $9,000 | $4,500 | 15 minis / 150 micros |
- No evaluation or evaluation profit target.
- EOD trailing drawdown.
- Seven qualifying trading days before each payout under the current detailed S2F payout rules.
- Each qualifying day requires at least $200 in profit.
- 25% consistency: largest profitable day divided by total cycle profit must be 25% or less.
- The consistency calculation restarts after an approved payout under the dedicated consistency article.
| Account | Max Payouts 1–3 | Max Payout 4 |
|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,000 | $1,000 |
| $50K | $2,000 | $2,500 |
| $100K | $2,500 | $3,000 |
| $150K | $3,000 | $3,500 |
Trader impact: S2F removes the evaluation but replaces it with the strictest consistency percentage and a longer qualifying-day requirement before withdrawal.
Funded Position Scaling
Simulated funded accounts do not necessarily begin with the full advertised contract allowance. The position cap scales with account profit and is recalculated after the trading session.
| Simulated Profit | $25K | $50K | $100K | $150K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0–$999 | 1 mini / 10 micros | 3 / 30 | 4 / 40 | 5 / 50 |
| $1,000–$1,499 | 2 / 20 | 3 / 30 | 4 / 40 | 5 / 50 |
| $1,500–$1,999 | 2 / 20 | 4 / 40 | 6 / 60 | 7 / 70 |
| $2,000–$2,999 | 3 / 30 | 5 / 50 | 7 / 70 | 10 / 100 |
| $3,000–$4,499 | Maximum reached | Maximum reached | 10 / 100 | 12 / 120 |
| $4,500+ | Maximum reached | Maximum reached | Maximum reached | 15 / 150 |
The scaling plan applies to funded accounts, not evaluations. Exceeding the active contract limit can breach the account even if the larger headline position size appears on the plan page.
Trading Hours and Holding Rules
FFF’s current general holding guidance says:
- Trades can remain open into the evening session.
- All positions must be closed by 4:15 p.m. Eastern Time each trading day.
- New positions may be opened after trading resumes at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
- Positions still open at the cutoff may be automatically closed.
- The general FAQ says weekend holding is not permitted and positions must be flat by Friday’s cutoff.
Important Weekend-Holding Conflict
FFF’s homepage currently markets Velocity with “Weekend Holding Allowed,” while the general holding FAQ says weekend holding is not permitted. Because these public statements conflict, Velocity traders should rely on the rules displayed inside their purchased account and obtain written support confirmation before holding through a weekend.
Allowed and Prohibited Trading
Allowed
- Discretionary/manual futures trading.
- News trading across current plans.
- Legitimate scalping where the majority of activity is not ultra-short.
- VPN or VPS access at the trader’s own risk.
- Trading supported equity-index and commodity futures during permitted hours.
Prohibited or Restricted
- Bots and algorithmic trading.
- Automated copy-trading bots.
- High-frequency, repetitive execution that appears non-human.
- Coordinated cross-market or cross-platform activity used to exploit simulated execution.
- Account sharing or allowing another person to trade the account.
- Multiple user profiles.
- Holding during the 4:15–6:00 p.m. ET market-close window.
- Strategies or position-size changes that FFF determines are gambling-style, manipulative or inconsistent with normal risk management.
- More than three resets in a 24-hour period may trigger purchasing restrictions or review.
Payout Process
- Meet the selected plan’s minimum-day, profit, consistency and buffer requirements.
- Complete KYC or KYB and onboard with an available payout provider.
- Submit the request through the dashboard.
- The request is checked against the account’s monitored rule history.
- Once approved and onboarding is complete, payout timing depends on the provider: bank transfers may take 1–3 business days, while crypto may arrive the same day or within 24 hours.
A plan can approve a request quickly, but bank or provider processing is separate from the firm’s approval time.
Professional and Live Progression
Simulated funded traders may later be considered for the Professional Stage and live-market migration. FFF currently says migration review may begin after a qualifying Professional Stage payout request or after reaching $5,000 in recognized Professional Stage profit.
Professional Stage rules are separate from the standard simulated-funded rules. Current help guidance lists:
- 80% trader / 20% FFF profit split.
- $250 minimum withdrawal.
- Under 20 qualified days: up to 50% of available profit above the required buffer.
- After 20 qualified days: up to 100% of available profit above the higher permanent buffer.
- A qualified day requires at least $200 in realized profit.
- Moving to live is reviewed and is not automatic immediately after hitting a milestone.
Official-Rule Conflicts Traders Should Know
FFF’s detailed pages are extensive, but several public statements do not fully match:
- Weekend holding: The homepage says Velocity allows it, while the general holding FAQ says weekends are prohibited.
- Consistency reset: Dedicated consistency pages say the calculation resets after each approved payout, while some payout-page notes still use “lifetime consistency” wording.
- S2F payout timing: The detailed S2F rule page requires seven $200+ days, while a homepage summary has displayed “5 day payouts.”
- Approval versus delivery: Marketing describes instant approval and money within hours, while the payout-method page lists bank delivery at 1–3 business days and crypto at same day to 24 hours.
Our audit uses the detailed plan and Help Center rules where available. Traders should save a copy of the dashboard rules attached to the exact account they purchase.

Who Funded Futures Family Is Best For
FFF may suit:
- Manual futures traders who want news trading.
- Traders who prefer no daily loss limit.
- Traders choosing Premier+ to avoid funded consistency.
- Traders who understand EOD versus intraday trailing drawdown.
- Active traders who can meet $200 qualifying-day requirements.
- Traders comfortable with capped withdrawals and funded position scaling.
It may be less suitable for:
- Automated, algorithmic or trade-copier strategies.
- Swing traders who need guaranteed weekend holding.
- Traders who depend on one oversized winning day on a consistency-based plan.
- Traders who want uncapped simulated withdrawals.
- Traders unwilling to monitor the drawdown cushion after every payout.
Final Audit Verdict
Funded Futures Family provides a broad set of futures funding paths with meaningful strengths: no daily loss limit, news trading, no activation fee, EOD options and a no-consistency Premier+ funded plan. The range lets traders choose between a fast evaluation, daily payout access, a simpler EOD structure or a straight-to-funded route.
The trade-off is complexity. A rule that is favorable on Premier+ may not apply to Velocity, Prime or S2F. Payout caps, scaling limits, qualifying-day rules and the effect of withdrawals on drawdown all need to be calculated before trading.
PFA assessment: 91/100 — Trusted, with plan-specific conditions that must be checked carefully.

Funded Futures Family — Frequently Asked Questions
The current lineup includes Velocity, Premier+, Prime and Straight-to-Funded (S2F). Velocity uses intraday trailing drawdown, Premier+ offers EOD or intraday configurations, Prime uses EOD drawdown, and S2F skips the evaluation.
No. Current FFF plans do not list a daily loss limit. The hard risk limit is the account’s active maximum drawdown, and touching or falling below it can breach the account.
Yes. FFF currently permits trading through scheduled news events, including major releases. Traders remain responsible for slippage, gaps, delays and volatility-related execution risk.
Premier+ has no funded consistency rule. Premier+ Fast Pass also has no evaluation consistency rule, while the cheaper Standard evaluation uses 50%. The Velocity Daily Payout Add-On removes funded consistency, but standard Velocity and Prime use 40%, and S2F uses 25%.
Eligibility depends on the plan’s required trading days, profit goal, consistency percentage and buffer. Current simulated-funded payouts use a 90/10 split. Per-request caps apply, and FFF currently publishes a $100,000 total simulated payout cap per user.
FFF prohibits bot and algorithmic trading and specifically restricts automated copy-trading bots. The trading activity should be manually controlled and human-executable.
The general rule allows holding into the evening session but requires positions to be flat from 4:15 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET. The general FAQ says weekend holding is prohibited, although the homepage has marketed Velocity as allowing weekend holding. Confirm the exact Velocity rule in the dashboard or in writing with support before relying on that exception.
Use code COMPARE for the available discount. A previously promoted offer provided 50% off eligible accounts, but the exact percentage can vary by plan and active promotion. Confirm the checkout total before paying.
FFF currently permits up to five active simulated funded accounts per user, combined across all plans. Only one user profile is allowed.
EOD drawdown moves from the highest closing balance, so unrealized intraday gains do not immediately raise the threshold. Intraday trailing drawdown follows the highest real-time equity, including open profit, making it more sensitive to reversals.
