What risk management and consistency rules must traders follow at Funded Futures Network?

💡 Answer

3 Percent Rule

FFN does not enforce a fixed "3% per trade" rule. Risk management is handled through the trailing drawdown and contract limits per account size tier.


Consistency Rules

  • Standard Evaluation: Best single trading day cannot exceed 40% of total profit.
  • Express Evaluation: Best single trading day cannot exceed 15–25% of total profit (stricter consistency for faster evaluation).
  • Sim Funded Pro: Consistency rule applies for the first 3 payouts only, then permanently removed.
  • Live Funded Pro: No consistency rule applies.

Other Risk Rules

  • No overnight holds: All positions must be closed by 4:50 PM EST. Holding through the close results in a rule violation.
  • Exhibition stage: After passing the evaluation, traders enter an Exhibition stage (activation fee: $120) before receiving funded status.
  • Data fees: Approximately $126/month in market data fees apply once funded.
  • Reset option: Failed evaluations can be reset for $100 (unlimited resets available).
  • Inactivity: Extended periods of inactivity may result in account closure.

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 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 LossFORFX applies model-dependent daily loss limits that differ between evaluation and funded phases.How It Is Applied:Flash Normal: 5% maximum daily loss across all phases.Flash Aggressive: 10% during evaluation, 5% once funded.Legend Normal: 5% maximum daily loss across all phases.Legend Aggressive: 10% during evaluation, 5% once funded.PeakScalp Normal: 5% maximum daily loss across all phases.PeakScalp Aggressive: 10% during evaluation, 5% once funded.Black Normal: 5% maximum daily loss across all phases.Black Aggressive: 10% during evaluation, 5% once funded.Daily drawdown is...
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 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 LossMaximum overall loss on FORFX accounts varies by model and variant.How It Works:Flash Normal: 10% maximum overall loss across all phases.Flash Aggressive: 20% during evaluation, 10% once funded.Legend Normal: 10% maximum overall loss across all phases.Legend Aggressive: 20% during evaluation, 10% once funded.PeakScalp Normal: 12% maximum overall loss (highest among all models).PeakScalp Aggressive: 20% during evaluation, 10% once funded.Black Normal: 10% maximum overall loss across all phases.Black Aggressive: 20% during evaluation, 10% once funded.If equity falls below the...
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 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 ModelFORFX uses a static drawdown model where the maximum loss is measured from the initial starting balance rather than trailing from highest equity.Key Points:All challenge types use static (balance-based) drawdown for overall maximum loss.Daily drawdown resets at 5:00 PM EST based on end-of-day account balance.Aggressive variants have relaxed drawdown limits during evaluation (10% daily / 20% max) but revert to standard limits (5% daily / 10% max) once funded.Drawdown calculations include both open and closed positions.The static model means...
