What Happens if My Live Account Hits the Drawdown Limit?

Learn what to expect if your Live account is closed for reaching the maximum drawdown and how to return to trading on FFF.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

If your Live account is ever closed as a result of reaching the maximum drawdown, don’t worry — this doesn’t mean the end of your journey with Funded Futures Family.

Here’s what happens next:

60-Day Cooldown Period

If your FFF Live account is closed due to reaching the maximum drawdown, a 60-day cooldown period will begin. This cooldown is measured in business (trading) days only—weekends do not count.

During the 60-day cooldown:

  • All previously existing SIM-funded accounts will remain closed and cannot be accessed or traded.

  • No trading activity of any kind is permitted on the FFF platform.

  • You may not purchase or activate new accounts until the cooldown period has fully ended.

This policy ensures proper risk management and provides traders time to reset before returning to the SIM environment.


Resume Trading After Cooldown

Once the 60-day cooldown period has been completed:

  • You may begin fresh by purchasing new Evaluation or SIM-funded accounts.

  • Previously closed accounts will not be reinstated or reopened, and prior balances/profit levels will not carry over.

  • All new SIM-funded accounts will begin under standard rules, starting from Payout Stage 1.

This structure ensures that traders re-enter the program on equal footing and with a clean slate.


Important Notes

  • When transitioning to FFF Live, all active SIM-funded accounts are permanently closed.

  • After the cooldown, traders may purchase new accounts and restart their progression from Payout Stage 1 within the SIM-funded environment.

  • No SIM or Evaluation trading is permitted during the cooldown period.
