Risk & Drawdown Rules
Max Daily Loss	Maximum Daily LossDaily drawdown limits depend on the program: Instant Funding uses a 5% daily drawdown, One Step uses a 4% daily drawdown, and Two Step uses a 5% daily drawdown in both evaluation phases and funded levels.FTUK states daily drawdown is calculated using the higher value of balance or equity at the end-of-day snapshot (22:00 UTC), which means open profit can increase the daily-loss threshold but open losses still count toward it.	Maximum Daily LossFunded Futures Network does not enforce a separate daily loss limit. Risk is managed entirely through the trailing drawdown mechanism, which is one of FFN's distinguishing features compared to most competitors.
Max Total Loss	Maximum Overall LossFTUK applies different overall drawdown models across programs: Instant Funding uses a 6% relative max drawdown, One Step uses an 8% relative max drawdown, and the Two Step program uses static maximum drawdown limits of 10% (Phase 1) and 5% (Phase 2) calculated on equity.	Maximum Overall LossFFN uses a trailing drawdown model that adjusts based on end-of-day (EOD) realized account values.Trailing drawdown by account size:$25,000 account: $1,500 trailing drawdown$50,000 account: $2,000 trailing drawdown$100,000 account: $3,600 trailing drawdown$150,000 account: $5,000 trailing drawdown$250,000 account: $6,000 trailing drawdownThe drawdown is calculated on realized P&L only (not unrealized) and adjusts at end-of-day. Once funded, the drawdown becomes static (no longer trails).
Drawdown Type	Drawdown ModelFTUK distinguishes between relative (trailing) drawdown and static drawdown. On One Step and Instant Funding, the trailing max drawdown is based on balance (not equity) and only moves upward as profits accumulate. On the Two Step program, drawdown is static and calculated on equity, meaning floating profit/loss is included in the drawdown check.	Drawdown ModelEnd-of-Day (EOD) Realized Trailing Drawdown: The drawdown floor adjusts upward based on end-of-day realized account balance — not unrealized equity. This means the drawdown only moves when trades are closed, giving traders more flexibility during live positions.Evaluation stage: Trailing drawdown that adjusts with new balance highs at EOD.Funded stage: Drawdown becomes static once funded, providing a fixed safety net.
