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 LossPipFarm’s Max Daily Loss rule is calculated as a percentage of the previous end-of-day (EOD) balance. By default, the daily loss limit is 3% of the previous EOD balance and is recalculated when the previous EOD balance changes. PipFarm states the EOD is calculated in the dashboard around 22:05 GMT (winter) or 21:05 GMT (US daylight savings). PipFarm also states traders may increase the daily loss limit to 4% after achieving Rank 4 in its Experience Programs.
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 LossPipFarm offers different maximum-loss models depending on program selection. For Static Max Loss, PipFarm states the one-stage program uses a 6% Static Max Loss of starting balance, while the two-stage program uses a 9% Static Max Loss of starting balance. For the one-stage program, PipFarm also offers a Trailing Maximum Loss option which tracks a high watermark (balance-based) and is 9% of the high watermark balance (10% if Rank 2 or higher).
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 ModelPipFarm’s public rules describe multiple drawdown frameworks, including: (1) a Static Max Loss (fixed percentage of starting balance), (2) a balance-based Trailing Max Loss (tracks the high watermark of account balance), and (3) an equity-based trailing max drawdown rule (high-watermark equity-based), as described in PipFarm’s Terms.
