Live Funded Traders - Withdrawal Policy

Making sure that live traders are trained to grow their account

Updated over 3 weeks ago

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)

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.
