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 LossMaven’s daily loss limits vary by program and are measured from the higher of balance or equity at 00:00 UTC (daily reset window). One-Step uses 3% daily drawdown, Two-Step uses 4%, and Three-Step uses 2%. Instant and Maven Mini accounts also use a 2% daily loss limit.
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 LossMaven’s overall loss rules depend on the account type: One-Step uses a 5% trailing max loss from the highest equity watermark; Two-Step uses an 8% static max loss from the initial balance; Three-Step uses a 3% static max loss from the initial balance. Instant and Maven Mini accounts use a 3% trailing max loss and also enforce a strict 1% maximum floating/open loss rule.
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 ModelMaven combines several drawdown models depending on the program: static drawdown (fixed from initial balance) on Two-Step and Three-Step, trailing drawdown (moves with equity highs) on One-Step, Instant and Maven Mini, and daily drawdown calculated from the higher of balance/equity at 00:00 UTC.

Payments
Payment Methods	Credit/Debit Card	Credit/Debit Card (must match trader identity) Bank Transfer Cryptocurrency; additional regional checkout options may be available via payment partners
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 restrictions apply to evaluation and funded accounts: traders cannot open or close trades within 2 minutes before or after red-folder news events (ForexFactory), and profits generated in that window may prevent passing. Maven states the news rule does not apply to Instant and Mini accounts.
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.	Weekend holdings are permitted for all account types (positions may be held over the weekend, subject to underlying market hours and instrument availability).
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.	Copy trading from another individual is prohibited; if detected, both users may be breached/terminated. Maven treats cross-user copying and related ‘gamifying’ patterns (including reversing accounts) as cheating behavior.
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.	No. Maven states Expert Advisors (EAs) are not permitted across its platforms; automated trading use can prevent challenge passing and may lead to suspension/termination.
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 is required when requesting a payout and may include identity, address and source-of-funds verification. Maven’s FAQ states checkout/KYC details must match government ID, only one email per person is allowed, and the payment card used must be in the trader’s name; Maven references Veriff for supported-country document coverage.
