My Funded Futures account sizes & per-size rules

The full My Funded Futures size ladder

Prop pricing scales sub-linearly with account size — roughly the square root of the size ratio — so the biggest account is almost never the best value per dollar of usable buffer. Each line below shows the modelled list price, the first-phase profit target and the loss buffer expressed as a percentage of the account.

Read the buffer column first. On a end-of-day trailing drawdown, the dollar buffer is the only number that limits your position size; the account label is marketing. A trader risking 1% per trade on the 150k account is taking the same dollar risk as one risking 6× that percentage on the smallest.

• 25k — $55, 6% target = $1.5k, 4% buffer = $1k of loss room
• 50k — $75, 6% target = $3k, 4% buffer = $2k of loss room
• 100k — $110, 6% target = $6k, 4% buffer = $4k of loss room
• 150k — $135, 6% target = $9k, 4% buffer = $6k of loss room

Which My Funded Futures size is actually the best value

Cost per dollar of loss buffer is the honest comparison. 25k costs 0.055 per dollar of buffer; 50k costs 0.037 per dollar of buffer; 100k costs 0.028 per dollar of buffer; 150k costs 0.022 per dollar of buffer. The cheapest ratio is where the firm is subsidising you the most, and it is usually a mid tier rather than the flagship.

The second filter is your own stop distance. Work out the worst-case dollar loss of a normal trade at your usual size, multiply by five consecutive losers, and buy the smallest account whose buffer absorbs that without breaching. Buying above that point is paying for headroom you will never trade into; buying below it guarantees a reset fee.

What the 25k and 50k tiers mean in practice

The small tiers are where most traders start and where most resets happen, because the dollar buffer is small enough that a single mis-sized position ends the account. On a futures account, one ES contract moves roughly $50 per point — on a 25k account with a few thousand dollars of buffer, a 20-point adverse move on two contracts is most of your room. Micros exist precisely for this tier.

The larger tiers change the psychology more than the maths. Same rules, same percentage targets, bigger dollar swings — which is why traders who pass consistently on a small account often breach the first week on a large one. Scale the account only after you have taken at least two payouts at the size below.

• End-of-day trailing drawdown on the main plans: The drawdown updates on closed end-of-day balances rather than intraday equity peaks, which is materially more survivable than Apex's model.
• Progressive payout caps: Early withdrawals are capped in size until the account matures. You can get paid quickly, but not unlimited amounts immediately — plan your first three payouts around the caps.
• No activation fee: Funded accounts do not carry a separate monthly activation charge on the main plans, unlike several futures competitors.

Rules that stay the same at every size

Firms rarely vary the rulebook by account size — they vary the dollar limits. On My Funded Futures the constants are the end-of-day trailing drawdown, the 90% profit split, the every 5 winning days (core/scale) payout window and the consistency position (progressive payout caps until the account matures).
