My Funded Futures rules explained

The drawdown mechanic — read this twice

My Funded Futures uses an end-of-day trailing drawdown. The limit trails your closing balance, not intraday spikes, so an unrealised runner that gives back profit does not permanently raise your stop-out level. It is meaningfully more forgiving than intraday trailing, but it still ratchets: every profitable close moves the floor up and never back down.

Whatever the model, size your risk against the buffer rather than the account size. The practical rule we use: never let a single campaign risk more than a third of the distance between current equity and the breach level.

Consistency and payout-eligibility rules

Consistency rules are where traders lose money they have already made. On My Funded Futures the stated position is: Progressive payout caps until the account matures. That leaves the payout gate mostly to the drawdown and minimum-days requirements.

The mechanic to watch is the single-best-day percentage. Where a firm caps one day at a share of total profit, a single outsized win can push a payout out by weeks because you must grind additional smaller days to bring the ratio back inside the cap. If you scalp news or trade one high-conviction setup a week, that mechanic will hurt you far more than a slightly lower profit split.

Full rule matrix

Each flag below is read off My Funded Futures's public rulebook and paired with the actual mechanic, because "allowed" means very different things from firm to firm.

• News trading: allowed — No news blackout on any plan.
• Expert advisors / algos: conditionally allowed — Assisted automation permitted; fully unattended algos are not.
• Weekend holding: not permitted — Flat before the weekend.
• Overnight holding: conditionally allowed — The Expert plan permits overnight holding; Starter and Milestone plans are intraday only.
• Copy trading: allowed — Copy across your own MFFU accounts is supported.
• No time limit: allowed — No deadline — the evaluation runs monthly.
• Crypto pairs: conditionally allowed — CME crypto futures only.
• No consistency rule: conditionally allowed — No hard consistency rule, but progressive payout caps apply until the account matures.

Rules that end accounts in practice

Beyond the headline limits, these are the clauses My Funded Futures actually enforces.

• 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.

Rule stability

My Funded Futures does not currently appear in our rule-change register, meaning we have not logged a material rulebook revision for it in the tracked period. Re-check before each payout anyway — firms are not obliged to announce changes prominently.
