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 & a $100 buffer, withdrawal options become available. Once a trader has surpassed the drawdown threshold plus the initial $100 buffer, all profits above this level become eligible for withdrawal — provided that a minimum $100 buffer remains in the account after the withdrawal is processed. For example: On a $50,000 account with a balance of $55,000, the trader would be eligible to withdraw up to $4,800, ensuring that the account retains the required $100 buffer post-withdrawal. This policy helps maintain account integrity and protects against potential losses from slippage or volatility.
Account Size | Drawdown Limit | Minimum Balance to Begin Withdrawal |
$50,000 | $2,000 | $52,100 |
$100,000 | $3,000 | $103,100 |
$150,000 | $4,500 | $154,600 |
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., $52,100 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 + $100 buffer
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 & buffer not yet recovered | $51,000 | No withdrawals allowed | $0 | – | – |
Drawdown & buffer fully recovered | $52,100 | Option A: 50% + close | $1,050 (no split) | $0 | $1,050 |
Continued gains above threshold | $54,500 | Option B: Withdraw full profit | $2,500 (above $52,100) | $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.
