Risk & Drawdown Rules
Max Daily Loss	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.	Maximum Daily LossFT+ uses a balance-based Daily Drawdown (Daily Simulated Loss) that resets each day at 16:59 (EST). A daily balance snapshot is taken, the daily loss amount is calculated as a percentage of that snapshot, and the account’s equity must not fall below the resulting Daily Drawdown figure.Daily Simulated Loss limits vary by program (typical published values): Master 6%, Experienced 4%, Advanced 5%, Premium 4%, Prestige Lite 3%, and Prestige Pro 5%.
Max Total Loss	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).	Maximum Overall LossMaximum Simulated Loss limits vary by program and drawdown model. Core trailing-loss challenges include: Master 6% max loss, Experienced 6%, Premium 8% and Advanced 10%.Prestige variants use a static-loss structure with tighter daily limits and typical maximum loss caps such as 6% (Prestige Lite) or 10% (Prestige Pro), depending on the specific Prestige version chosen.
Drawdown Type	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.	Drawdown ModelFunded Trading Plus uses two drawdown structures across its programs: Relative (trailing) drawdown on core challenges (Master/Experienced/Advanced/Premium) and Static drawdown on Prestige variants.Daily Drawdown is calculated from a daily balance snapshot and applies as a daily equity floor that resets once per day.

Other methods (ACH, wire, USDT) are typically processed same-day during business hours.

Trading Permissions
News Trading	Evaluation: News trading is fully allowed during the evaluation phase.Exhibition / Funded: Traders must be flat (no open positions) 1 minute before and 1 minute after Tier-1 news events.	News trading is allowed in principle, and FT+ markets “trade news” as part of its ruleset. However, high-risk “coin-flip” behaviour (e.g., extremely high margin utilisation combined with short-duration trades during volatile news) may fail a withdrawal-time risk review.
Weekend Trades	Not allowed. FFN is a day-trading-only firm. All positions must be closed by 4:50 PM EST daily. No overnight holds and no weekend positions are permitted.	Funded Trading Plus states traders may hold trades over the weekend (“hold weekends”), supporting swing-style strategies. Traders should still monitor instrument trading hours/closures and manage gap risk.
Copy Trading	FFN allows traders to copy trade across up to 5 of their own funded accounts simultaneously. Third-party account management or signal-selling services are not permitted.	FT+ requires accounts to be traded independently. Copy trading between active FT+ accounts is not permitted, and hedging across multiple accounts is strictly prohibited (hedging within a single account is allowed).
EA Allowed	Basic algorithmic trading is permitted through supported platforms (e.g., NinjaTrader automated strategies, Sierra Chart). However, high-frequency bot trading and latency exploitation are strictly prohibited.	Expert Advisors (EAs), algos and bots are permitted. FT+ warns that abusive automation can lead to bans and may require traders to submit their EA for approval before receiving a simulated-live FT+ Trader account. EAs may not be used to copy trade or hedge across multiple FT+ accounts.
KYC & Restrictions
KYC Required	No	Yes
KYC Stage	KYC is required before receiving the first payout. Traders must complete identity verification during the funded account activation process.	KYC / identity checks are required at the FT+ Trader stage (simulated-live funded accounts), typically to confirm account ownership and support withdrawal processing under compliance requirements.
