1. Account Parameters Overview
The FFF Live Trading Program provides multiple account tiers, each with predetermined drawdown limits and structured payout thresholds:
Account Size | Drawdown Limit | Withdrawal Eligibility | Profit Split |
$50,000 | $2,000 | After reaching $52,000 | 80/20 above initial drawdown |
$100,000 | $3,000 | After reaching $103,000 | 80/20 above initial drawdown |
$150,000 | $4,500 | After reaching $154,500 | 80/20 above initial drawdown |
$250,000 | $6,000 | After reaching $256,000 | 80/20 above initial drawdown |
Additional Parameters:
Minimum withdrawal amount: $250
Consistency rule applies until first $5,000 is withdrawn
Maximum of four live accounts per trader
Profits up to 100% above the initial drawdown can be withdrawn
Daily withdrawal processing is permitted
2. Position on Close Drawdown (PoC DD): Detailed Explanation
Definition:
The End of Position Drawdown (PoC DD) is a dynamic risk mechanism in which the minimum account balance only increases after a position is closed in profit. Unlike real-time trailing drawdown models, unrealized profits do not shift the drawdown threshold.
Key Characteristics:
PoC DD protects traders from being penalized by intraday volatility.
Only realized profits move the drawdown upward.
Losses do not reduce the trailing drawdown buffer—drawdown only progresses forward.
Drawdown Recovery Completion:
Once the total realized profit equals the account’s drawdown limit, the trader is considered out of drawdown. From that point, the minimum account balance becomes:
Starting Balance + $1,500
3. EoP DD Behavior Example with Gains and Losses (For $50,000 Account)
Trade # | Account Balance After Trade | Profit/Loss | Cumulative Realized Profit | New PoC Min Balance |
Start | $50,000 | – | – | $48,000 (initial) |
1 | $50,700 | +$700 (closed) | $700 | $48,700 |
2 | $51,500 | +$800 (closed) | $1,500 | $49,500 |
3 | $51,200 | –$300 (loss) | $1,200 | $49,500 (unchanged) |
4 | $52,000 | +$800 (closed) | $2,000 | $50,000 (fully recovered) |
5 | $52,600 | +$600 (closed) | $2,600 | $50,600 |
6 | $51,800 | –$800 (loss) | $1,800 | $50,600 (unchanged) |
7 | $53,000 | +$1,200 (closed) | $3,000 | $51,800 |
8 | $54,500 | +$1,500 (closed) | $4,500 | $53,300 |
Observations:
Trade #3 and Trade #6 are losses. The PoC DD does not move backward after these trades.
Once $2,000 in realized profit is achieved, the trader exits drawdown.
Thereafter, the trailing minimum begins scaling upward with each closed profitable trade.
4. Summary Comparison
Feature | PoC DD | Real-Time Trailing DD |
Adjusts when? | After closing a profitable position | Continuously, including intratrade |
Drawdown recedes after losses? | No | Yes |
Basis for movement | Realized gains only | Unrealized and realized P&L |
Risk tolerance | Higher, supports strategic trade exits | Lower, penalizes open volatility |
