After reaching your fourth payout on the same Simulated Funded Account, Funded Futures Family will review your progress and invite you to select one of two options, depending on your performance and readiness for live trading. If we determine that additional simulated trading would be beneficial, we may also advise you to remain in the Simulated Funded Environment a bit longer.

Options after the Fourth Payout:

  1. Remain in the Simulated Funded Environment with No Changes

    • You can continue earning payouts, with a cap of $50,000 per user. Once you reach $50,000, your account will typically transition to the Live Environment unless further evaluation deems more time beneficial. In select cases, we may remove this cap to allow continued simulated trading beyond the $50,000 threshold.

    • Your account will be reassessed after each payout to ensure continued alignment with trading standards.

  2. Transition to a Live Funded Account

    • Once your account transitions to live funding, any balance you have over the threshold of 50k will be forfeited.

    • For multiple simulated accounts, After meeting the criteria and being approved for a live account: A custom live account offer will be provided to you by Funded Futures Family. This is typically between $10,000-$25,000.
