How Funded Futures Network Works

Funded Futures Network offers Standard MAX and Express MAX paths in account sizes from $25K to $250K. Standard MAX uses a five-day evaluation; Express MAX is designed as the faster route to funded status.

The displayed account balance is simulated or notional unless the trader has a signed live brokerage agreement. Passing an evaluation normally creates a simulated funded account first; live progression can require additional payouts, a performance review or a separate milestone.

Evaluation and Account Rules

Standard MAX uses EOD drawdown, a daily loss limit and 40% consistency. Express MAX uses a different drawdown and funded payout structure, including five winning days before an eligible request. The funded account retains the applicable trailing risk model.

Contract limits, resets, activation fees, commissions and market-data charges vary by size and plan. Traders should follow the rule set attached to the purchased account.

Drawdown Rules

Plan-specific EOD or intraday trailing limit. Applied on Standard MAX; Express MAX terms differ. A payout can reduce the remaining cushion, so the post-withdrawal balance must stay above the required threshold.

Funded Account and Payout Rules

Current MAX products advertise same-day payout review after the plan's qualifying conditions are met. Standard and Express use different consistency and winning-day rules. A later live account removes the simulated consistency rule and per-account payout caps and pays a 90% trader share.

Trader share: Plan-specific in Sim Funded; 90% on Live MAX.

Request timing: Same-day review after plan-specific qualifying days.

Consistency generally means the largest profitable day cannot exceed the specified share of total cycle profit. When the rule is soft, an oversized day delays eligibility rather than closing the account.

Trading Conditions

News trading is generally permitted, subject to the exact plan's restricted windows and execution risk. Overnight and weekend holding must be confirmed on the exact program.

Prohibited behavior includes account sharing, exploiting delayed data or simulated fills, coordinated hedging, exceeding position limits and any strategy the firm determines cannot be replicated in real futures markets.

Platforms and Markets

Funded Futures Network supports Tradovate, TradingView, NinjaTrader and supported futures connections. Tradable products are CME-group futures. Platform availability may depend on data feed, account and country.

Advantages

• Account sizes up to $250K
• Standard EOD option
• No activation fee on current Express products
• Same-day payout review
• Live stage removes caps and consistency

Limitations and Risks

• Standard and Express rules differ
• Sim-funded payout caps apply
• Consistency applies before live
• Shorter operating history than the largest incumbents
• Promotional prices do not change the trading or payout rules.

Who Funded Futures Network Is Best For

Funded Futures Network may suit traders who understand its exact drawdown type, consistency percentage, payout window and contract limits. It may be less suitable for traders who need rules to remain identical across every account family.

Final Audit Verdict

The most important numbers are the real loss allowance, buffer, consistency rule, permitted position size and maximum withdrawal, not the advertised account balance alone.

PFA assessment: 75/100 — Moderate.
