Funded Futures Network Review

Quick answer

Funded Futures Network currently promotes Standard MAX and STEADY futures evaluations. STEADY replaced Express MAX for new purchases after 1 July 2026 market close, so old Express guides must not be presented as an active new-purchase offer. STEADY uses a two-winning-day evaluation, EOD trailing drawdown, no daily limit and 52% evaluation consistency; its funded stage has no consistency rule. Standard MAX uses five winning days, EOD drawdown and a soft daily stop. Both require a funded profit buffer before withdrawals. No site-supplied coupon is recorded.

Official sources checked: 3 October 2026. Some main-site pages returned retrieval errors; current official Zendesk specifications and the STEADY product page were accessible. This review separates them from older indexed marketing articles.

Active products and retired accounts

The Express MAX specification explicitly marks that product retired from 1 July 2026 market close. Accounts owned beforehand retain their rules, but a breached Express MAX cannot be reset under the former MAX reset option.

The replacement STEADY specification describes evaluation, simulated funding and a later live review. Neither passing an evaluation nor buying a nominal $250K account deposits that amount into the trader's personal brokerage account.

Older OG products include an Exhibition stage; current MAX and STEADY routes omit that stage. Keep the account family and purchase date with your records instead of applying the newest advertisement to an older contract.

Standard MAX rules and pricing caveat

The Standard MAX guide requires five winning days, measured at session close rather than an intraday peak. Thresholds are $100/$150/$200/$250/$300 across $25K to $250K.

Targets are $2K/$3K/$6K/$9K/$15K. EOD loss allowances are $1,500/$2,000/$3,600/$5,000/$6,000, with soft daily stops of $1,000/$1,250/$2,500/$3,750/$4,500. A daily-stop hit pauses the session; it does not remove the separate hard maximum-loss rule. Standard MAX retains 40% consistency in evaluation and simulated funding.

Its older specification still labels monthly prices, while newer indexed storefront content describes one-time Standard MAX purchases. Those are not interchangeable fee schedules. This review leaves a current Standard MAX checkout quote unresolved rather than presenting the older monthly table as a verified new-purchase price. Activation and data costs should also be checked for the exact generation.

Funded rewards, buffers and caps

STEADY's own specification states a 90/10 simulated-funded split, five winning days per payout cycle and a $500 minimum request. Build the size-specific buffer first. After the previous payout, the balance must regain a net-positive position above the remaining balance before the next request.

Early STEADY caps are $1,000/$1,500/$2,000/$2,500/$3,000; from the fourth payout they become $1,200/$2,000/$2,500/$3,000/$3,500. The combined per-user cap is $10,000 per event across accounts. After five simulated payouts, the account enters live review.

Standard MAX follows its separate 40% consistency and buffer rules, with at least $500 above the buffer for a request. Older Standard/Express materials describe an 80/20 simulated split; do not apply it to the newer STEADY specification without checking the account.

The general payout overview clarifies that same-day means a trader can request on the day conditions are met, without waiting for a fixed weekly window. It lists ACH, PayPal and bank wire. Approval is not a guarantee of immediate bank settlement. It also says not to trade while waiting for the balance adjustment and payment.

Live transition and retained profits

For Standard MAX and STEADY accounts purchased after 1 July 2026 market close, the STEADY specification says accumulated simulated profit does not transfer when the trader moves live. Risk-manager approval is required. Live accounts use a 90/10 share and daily request access under their own agreement.

This is material to withdrawal planning. An attractive nominal balance and a large simulated profit figure should not be treated as a bank balance or automatically transferable live capital. Review transition terms before deliberately leaving substantial profit in a simulated account.

Platforms, copying and strategy fit

The current STEADY page lists included FundX, EdgeProX and ONYX licenses, plus compatible Rithmic tools such as Quantower, Sierra Chart and Jigsaw. It says native NinjaTrader, TradingView, MetaTrader and automated bots/EAs are not supported for STEADY. Older general platform pages list different products, so the selected connection controls availability.

Same-owner copying is limited to five simultaneous accounts in the published offering. Copying permission does not authorize cross-trader account sharing, coordinated opposite positions or circumventing an account limit. Use a supported platform and verify the symbol, account number and contract cap before copying orders.

Strengths and limitations

Strengths include distinct EOD options, a documented new STEADY fee table, no Exhibition step on current routes and a clearly described live-review path. STEADY removes funded consistency but keeps winning days, buffers and payout caps.

The main limitations are documentation that spans several product generations, tight loss allowances relative to headline account size, account-specific platform access and live-transition treatment of retained simulated profit. A trader who wants a one-day pass, unrestricted automated strategies or fully withdrawable paper profit should not assume those features exist here.

How to compare an order

1. Confirm Standard MAX or STEADY, rather than retired Express MAX.
2. Choose size and platform, and read whether the displayed fee is one-time or recurring.
3. Note the loss floor, winning-day threshold and consistency formula.
4. Calculate the funded buffer and first request cap before projecting income.
5. Read activation, data, reset, country and live-transition terms.
6. Save the order and agreement. No site-supplied discount code is listed.

Editorial assessment

The existing PFA score of 75/100 and cautious editorial classification are retained. This is a documentary update, not a firsthand account, execution, customer-service or payout test. The rating does not certify solvency or future payment. The new source-based corrections are the retirement of Express MAX, the STEADY replacement, platform scope and withdrawal mechanics.
