Payout Policies and Requirements

Updated yesterday

Payout Guidelines

  1. Agreement Compliance:
    Each payout approval is conditional on adherence to the Funded Futures Family agreement. Ensuring compliance with all account rules is necessary before submitting any payout requests.

  2. Account-Specific Payouts:
    If you hold multiple accounts, each account’s payout request is handled independently. You may request payouts from each account according to its specific guidelines, provided that all rules are followed.

  3. Non-Modifiable Requests:
    Once a payout request has been submitted, it cannot be edited or canceled. It is recommended to carefully review all requirements and account balances before submitting a request.

  4. Transition to Live Funded Account:
    After a trader has successfully completed four payouts from the same account, Funded Futures Family reserves the right to move that trader to a live funded account. This decision is at the firm’s discretion, and if selected, you will be notified by email. In some cases, this transition may occur earlier if Funded Futures Family assesses that the trader’s performance meets their standards.


Payout Processing and Timeline

  • Payout Schedule:
    Trader will be able to request the payout anytime and any-day once they have achieved the targets. All approved payout requests will be processed every Tuesday.

Note: The cut-off period for a payout request is on every Monday at 11:59 PM EST. Please make sure to submit the request before the mentioned time period for payout processing procedures.

  • Rise Contract Signing/Payout Disbursement:

    After the approval of the payout and the deductions are done, the trader gets an invite from our payout provider Rise. Once the onboarding is done they payout will be sent within 24hours of signing the contract.


Payout Requirements

Consistency Rule Compliance: Traders must follow the Consistency Rule, which is designed to ensure stable and responsible trading behavior. The consistency percentage updates based on the payout cycle:

  • Payout 1: 40% maximum per trading day

  • Payout 2: 40% maximum per trading day

  • Payout 3: 45% maximum per trading day

  • Payout 4: 50% maximum per trading day

  • Payouts 5 and 6: No consistency rule applies

  • More details on the Consistency Rule and payout requirements can be found in the charts below.

Minimum Days Traded: To be eligible for a payout, traders must achieve at least five different days of trading with each day reflecting a gain of $200 or more. These days do not need to be consecutive, but the count of qualifying days resets after each payout.

Trading Day Definition: A “trading day” is defined as at least one trade placed between 6:00 P.M. EST/EDT and 5:00 P.M. EST/EDT the following day.


Current Minimum Balance Requirements (Effective Until May 6th)

Until May 6th, all active accounts must meet the following minimum balance requirements before submitting a payout request:

$50K Account:

  • Drawdown: $2,000 + $100 buffer

  • Minimum Balance Required: $52,100

$100K Account:

  • Drawdown: $3,000 + $100 buffer

  • Minimum Balance Required: $103,100

$150K Account:

  • Drawdown: $4,500 + $100 buffer

  • Minimum Balance Required: $154,600

Starting May 6th, the new buffer zone rules will apply for all accounts. Please refer to the updated policies below for details.


Account Balance Requirements (Effective May 6th): Before requesting a payout, your account must meet the minimum balance requirement, also known as the buffer zone.

The buffer zone is static and is calculated as your account’s drawdown amount plus $500. This balance must be maintained at the time of your payout request.

Here’s the breakdown by account size:

$50K Account:

  • Drawdown: $2,000 + $500 buffer

  • Minimum Balance Required: $52,500

$100K Account:

  • Drawdown: $3,000 + $500 buffer

  • Minimum Balance Required: $103,500

$150K Account:

  • Drawdown: $4,500 + $500 buffer

  • Minimum Balance Required: $155,000

Your account must meet the minimum balance requirement, along with all other payout eligibility criteria, at the time of your request.


Important Notes on Trading and Payouts

  • Continued Trading After Payout Request:
    Traders may continue trading after submitting a payout request. However, if the account balance drops below the minimum balance (buffer) or fails, the payout request will be denied, and traders will need to re-qualify with five winning days of $200 gains.

  • Live Account Withdrawal Flexibility:
    If moved to a live account, traders gain additional flexibility, including daily withdrawal options. After trading for 20 days on the live account, traders are eligible to withdraw their full balance.


In the simulated funded accounts, traders can earn up to a capped profit of $100,000 per user. If a trader exceeds this amount, no penalties or account changes will occur immediately. However, any profit above the $100,000 cap will not be eligible for withdrawal, as these additional gains are forfeited under the cap policy.

Once a trader reaches this cap, Funded Futures Family will review the account to assess eligibility for a transition to a live account. Moving to a live account brings added benefits, including daily withdrawal options after meeting initial requirements and gaining approval.

Each account is treated independently, and traders may continue trading as usual while awaiting this review and potential transition.

This policy ensures that traders on simulated funded accounts can maximize their earning potential while progressing toward live trading privileges.

Important Note: Funded Futures Family reserves the right to temporarily uncap withdrawals for traders they feel would benefit from additional time on the simulated funded account. This exception enables us to continue assessing a trader’s performance before making the transition to a live account, providing greater flexibility in account progression.
