The FundedFuturesFamily (FFF) Live Trading Program offers traders flexible withdrawal options and well-defined capital protection rules. Once a trader surpasses their account’s initial drawdown threshold, they become eligible for partial or full profit withdrawal based on their trading performance and account balance.
This article outlines the rules for withdrawal eligibility, account closure, and the profit split structure for live accounts.
1. Withdrawal Eligibility After Drawdown Recovery
Withdrawals are only permitted after the trader fully recovers their drawdown. Once the account balance exceeds the starting balance plus the drawdown limit, withdrawal options become available.
Account Size | Drawdown Limit | Minimum Balance to Begin Withdrawal |
$50,000 | $2,000 | $52,000 |
$100,000 | $3,000 | $103,000 |
$150,000 | $4,500 | $154,500 |
2. Withdrawal and Account Closure Options
Once the minimum threshold is met, traders may choose between:
A. 50% Payout + Close Account
At the exact drawdown recovery level (e.g., $52,000 for a $50K account), traders can:
Withdraw 50% of the total balance
Close the account permanently
No profit split applied
B. Continue Trading for Full Payout
If traders continue to trade and grow their balance beyond the drawdown recovery threshold:
They may withdraw up to 100% of the profits above the drawdown threshold
All profits are subject to an 80/20 split (80% to trader, 20% to the firm)
3. Payout Example: $50,000 Account
Scenario | Account Balance | Action Available | Withdrawable Amount | Firm Share (20%) | Trader Receives |
Drawdown not yet recovered | $51,000 | No withdrawals allowed | $0 | – | – |
Drawdown fully recovered | $52,000 | Option A: 50% + close | $1,000(no split) | $200 | $800 |
Continued gains above threshold | $54,500 | Option B: Withdraw full profit | $2,500 (above $52,000) | $500 | $2,000 |
Note: In Option A, the trader receives 50% of the entire account balance and forfeits the account. In Option B, the account remains active, and the trader receives 80% of profits above the $52,000 mark.

Flexibility and Growth Mindset
The FFF Live Trading Program prioritizes trader flexibility while enforcing capital discipline. The dual-path withdrawal structure allows traders to either exit early with 50% of their capital or continue building gains with an 80/20 profit-sharing model. Combined with fast processing, low withdrawal minimums, and up to four accounts per trader, this system is built to reward consistency and sound risk management.
