The Live Market Execution Environment represents the second operational phase of the Professional Stage within Funded Futures Family. It is not a separate program, a new account, or a reset of performance metrics. It is a continuation of the same Professional Stage account under a different execution infrastructure.
All Professional Stage rules remain fully in effect within the Live Market Execution Environment. This includes drawdown parameters, scaling structure, profit split, withdrawal policies, performance monitoring, and risk oversight. No balances are reset, and all prior account history, metrics, and thresholds continue uninterrupted.
The Pro environment operates on Tradovate and includes market data within its infrastructure. The Live Market Execution Environment operates through Rithmic infrastructure. Market data is not included by default and must be configured separately by the trader according to Rithmic requirements.
Migration to the Live Market Execution Environment occurs automatically upon meeting the Professional Stage transition criteria, including reaching the recognized profit cap within the Pro environment or submitting a withdrawal request. This migration is operational and does not alter the account’s structural framework.
The Live Market Execution Environment reflects the same Professional Stage account operating through Rithmic infrastructure for market execution purposes, while maintaining identical program rules and oversight standards.

Live Program Discretion and Performance Review
Funded Futures Family reserves the right to move traders into the Live Program prior to meeting the full listed eligibility criteria if our risk management team determines that their performance, consistency, and overall risk management demonstrate strong potential for success in a live trading environment.
Similarly, Funded Futures Family also reserves the right to remove traders from the Live Program at any time if their trading performance, consistency, risk management practices, or account inactivity no longer meet the standards expected within the live environment.
These discretionary decisions are made solely by our internal risk management and funding teams to ensure responsible capital allocation and a sustainable trading environment for all participants.
