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 LossDaily loss rules depend on program type. RAPID uses a 4% daily drawdown; CLASSIC and ULTRA use a 5% daily drawdown. Instant Standard and Instant Pro apply a 3% maximum daily drawdown calculated daily (balance/equity check) and reset on the platform’s daily schedule. Crypto programs use a 3% Daily Cap mechanism that can close positions and lock the account for the day if price movement exceeds the cap from the prior day’s equity reference.
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 LossWSFunded’s overall loss limits vary by product: RAPID has a 6% maximum drawdown; CLASSIC uses an 8% maximum drawdown; ULTRA uses a 10% maximum drawdown (static models). Instant Standard uses a 6% trailing maximum drawdown, while Instant Pro uses a 5% trailing maximum drawdown. Crypto programs publish static maximum drawdown limits (e.g., 6% on One Step Crypto and 9% on Two Steps Crypto).
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 ModelRAPID/CLASSIC/ULTRA are built on static drawdown rules. Instant Standard and Instant Pro use trailing drawdown that follows equity highs; after an approved withdrawal, the trailing drawdown is described as locking at the starting balance and does not reset upward due to withdrawals. Crypto programs apply static max drawdown plus a separate daily cap mechanism.

Commonly, the first withdrawal is allowed after an initial waiting period (e.g., 15 days on CLASSIC/ULTRA and Instant models, and 30 days on RAPID), with recurring withdrawals generally available every 10 days thereafter (from account activation / after the first eligibility window), subject to program rules and minimum requirements.Minimum payout: The published minimum payout threshold is $100, and Instant models also specify the minimum withdrawal as the greater of $100 or 1% of the account’s starting balance.

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.

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 is heavily restricted. Manual copying between a trader’s own evaluation accounts is permitted only during the evaluation phase and only when account balances differ. Copying between funded accounts (or between funded and challenge accounts), copying between same-balance accounts, or using external copying tools is prohibited.
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.	EAs/cBots and indicators are allowed on evaluation programs as long as they follow permitted strategies.
