Funded Futures Family (FFF) is a US futures prop firm that sells simulated evaluation and straight-to-funded accounts, with sim funded traders able to move on to Professional and Live stages. It is a young firm with a low $69.99 entry on its current $25K plans, a 90% split, no trade commission and news trading allowed. Against that, payout caps, required winning days, contract limits and consistency rules change by plan, by account size and, for Premier+, by purchase date, and several ceilings limit what you can withdraw. For manual futures traders who want frequent withdrawals, the Velocity add-on and Sniper’s daily cycle are the main draws. Know which plan and purchase date you are on before applying any number below.
Who runs Funded Futures Family
The operating company is Funded Futures Family LLC, based in the United States and founded in 2024. It is a young firm, with about two years of operation.
Trading runs on Tradovate, Rithmic, NinjaTrader, TradingView and WealthCharts. The instrument type is futures: equity index contracts such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, energy (crude oil, natural gas), metals (gold, silver) and other commodity futures. FFF also offers perps. Payouts go through Rise only.
FFF states that it does not charge commission on trades. It reports having paid more than 29 million to traders, a self-published figure, though another FAQ passage gives more than $24 million.
Programs and what they cost
FFF has run several program families:
- Prime, Premier Plus (EOD and Intraday versions) and Velocity: evaluation-based plans.
- S2F (Straight to Funded): no evaluation. The current lineup includes S2F Payday and S2F Accelerate.
- Sniper: a newer plan with its own rule set.
- Base: a further model.
- Professional and Live: later stages, not plans you buy.
The plans currently on sale are $25K accounts in S2F Payday, S2F Accelerate and Sniper, each at a $69.99 one-time fee. They differ mainly in payout rhythm and consistency treatment. S2F Payday pays on a 7-day cycle, S2F Accelerate on a 5-day cycle, and Sniper daily. Velocity carries no time limit.
Sniper has a $2,500 profit target against a $750 end-of-day drawdown that never locks, so the target is more than three times the loss allowance. The drawdown keeps trailing your highest end-of-day balance and never stops at the starting balance, so a profitable run raises the floor with it.
Days to pass and qualify
A winning day is a day with at least $200 in profit.
- Prime: evaluation can be passed in 1 day. The sim funded stage needs 3 winning days before a payout.
- Premier Plus: 1 day to pass with FastPass, or 2 days on Standard. Sim funded needs 5 winning days.
- Velocity: 3 days to pass. Sim funded needs 3 winning days, and the Daily Payout add-on removes that requirement.
- S2F: no evaluation. You need 7 winning days before a payout.
A trading day runs from 6:00 PM ET to 5:00 PM ET the following day, and counts once at least one trade is placed in that window. On Prime, Premier+ and Velocity, the funded account must be activated within 7 days of passing the evaluation. If it is not, the account is closed.
Payout rules by program
All sim funded payouts use a 90/10 split in the trader’s favor. Weekday payout requests submitted before 17:00 ET are reviewed the same day, and approved payouts arrive through Rise in 1 to 3 business days, so treat the advertised 24-hour processing as the review step only. Requests are final once submitted. Each user has a $100,000 lifetime payout cap across the firm.
Prime
Prime needs a minimum profit before each request: $300 on 25K, $500 on 50K, $750 on 100K and $1,000 on 150K. The requirement resets after every payout.
Prime also requires a buffer of drawdown plus $100, which stays in the account and can never be withdrawn. Only profit above it is available. Buffer balances by size:
- 25K: $26,100
- 50K: $52,100
- 100K: $103,100
- 150K: $154,600
Per-payout maximums rise after the first payout:
- 25K: $1,000 first, then $1,500
- 50K: $2,000, then $2,500
- 100K: $3,000, then $3,500
- 150K: $3,500, then $4,000
Premier Plus (EOD and Intraday)
Premier Plus needs 5 winning days. The balance must also sit at least $1 above the balance at your previous request, so each payout needs new profit. You can withdraw 50% of profit, capped by size: $1,000 on 25K, $2,000 on 50K, $2,500 on 100K and $3,000 on 150K. On a 50K account, for example, reaching the $2,000 maximum takes $4,000 in profit.
Straight to Funded (S2F)
On top of the 7 winning days, S2F requires a profit target between requests, and the first target is the largest:
- 25K: $1,500 first, then $1,000
- 50K: $3,000 first, then $2,000
- 100K: $6,000 first, then $3,000
- 150K: $9,000 first, then $4,500
Per-payout maximums by payout number:
- 25K: $1,000 for payouts 1 to 3, $1,000 from the 4th
- 50K: $2,000, then $2,500
- 100K: $2,500, then $3,000
- 150K: $3,000, then $3,500
On the 100K account, the first request needs $6,000 in profit but pays out at most $2,500. The rest stays in the account as you work toward the next request.
Velocity
Velocity comes as a Standard plan or with a Daily Payout add-on. Both versions share the same profit target per request, which resets after each payout: $1,500 on 25K, $3,000 on 50K, $6,000 on 100K and $9,000 on 150K.
The Standard plan needs 3 winning days per cycle. The add-on allows daily requests but lowers the per-payout maximum:
- 25K: $750 Standard, $600 with add-on
- 50K: $1,250 Standard, $1,000 with add-on
- 100K: $2,250 Standard, $1,500 with add-on
- 150K: $3,250 Standard, $2,500 with add-on
Maximum contract sizes
Contract limits are set per account size, with 10 micros counted as 1 mini.
Prime, Velocity and earlier Premier+
- 25K: 3 minis or 30 micros
- 50K: 5 minis or 50 micros
- 100K: 10 minis or 100 micros
- 150K: 15 minis or 150 micros
Premier+ accounts bought before September 9, 2026 also keep these limits. FFF publishes a lower schedule for Prime Standard accounts and for Premier+ accounts bought on or after September 9, 2026:
- 25K: 2 minis or 20 micros
- 50K: 4 minis or 40 micros
- 100K: 6 minis or 60 micros
- 150K: 10 minis or 100 micros
S2F
S2F accounts start small and scale up:
- 25K: 1 mini (10 micros), scaling to 3 minis (30 micros)
- 50K: 3 minis (30 micros), scaling to 5 minis (50 micros)
- 100K: 4 minis (40 micros), scaling to 10 minis (100 micros)
- 150K: 5 minis (50 micros), scaling to 15 minis (150 micros)
Scaling plans also exist for Prime, Premier Plus, Velocity and Base funded accounts.
Consistency rules
A consistency rule caps the share of payout-counted profit that can come from a single day. Under a 40% rule, for instance, no day can exceed 40%. FFF’s rules differ by plan:
- Prime and Premier+ evaluations: no consistency rule.
- Premier+ funded: a 40% rule for accounts bought from September 9, 2026. Earlier accounts keep their original funded terms.
- S2F Payday: 40%.
- S2F Accelerate: 20%, 25% or 30%, depending on configuration.
- Velocity: no consistency rule in sim funded with the Daily Payout add-on.
- Sniper: none.
Two terms need confirming with FFF before you plan around them: which S2F Accelerate tier (20%, 25% or 30%) applies to your configuration, and whether the lower contract schedule applies to your Prime account, since it is set for Prime Standard specifically.
Trading rules and prohibited conduct
Trading hours. Trading is allowed whenever markets are open except from 4:15 PM to 6:00 PM ET. Open positions are closed automatically at 4:15 PM ET if you have not closed them.
News. Trading through news is allowed on every account type, including Tier 1 releases.
Holding time. Micro-scalping is permitted on evaluation and funded accounts, with one condition. More than 50% of your trades and more than 50% of your profits must come from positions held longer than 10 seconds, so many long-held small trades cannot offset profits that mostly came from very short holds. The threshold was lowered from 20 seconds to 10 under the firm’s V.2 system.
Inactivity. Each account needs at least one trade per week, Monday to Friday, held for at least 10 seconds. An account left idle for a full trading week is closed automatically and cannot be restored.
CME price limits. On Sim Funded and Live Funded accounts, you may not trade a product within 2% of its CME price limit. Holding a position through a price limit extension makes the account ineligible. Watching the % Net Change on your platform is your responsibility.
Automation. EAs, bots and algorithmic trading are banned, and all trading must be manual. Copy trading tools are allowed, but FFF accepts no liability for losses caused by a tool malfunction. VPN and VPS use is permitted at your own risk.
Other prohibited practices:
- martingale strategies
- IP manipulation
- shared account access or multi-user control
- going over the maximum accounts per household or IP group
- hedging between accounts
- exploiting system discrepancies, delays or technical issues
Accounts must be bought in your own name.
Beyond sim funded: Professional and Live stages
Professional stage
Eligibility comes after 3 approved sim funded payouts or $10,000 in total approved sim funded payouts, subject to a final risk review. Terms change at this stage:
- Drawdown becomes end-of-position (EOP).
- There is no consistency rule.
- The split drops to 80/20.
- The minimum withdrawal is $250.
- With fewer than 20 qualified trading days, you can withdraw up to 50% of available profits above the required buffer. From 20 qualified days, up to 100%.
Live stage
Moving to Live takes $5,000 in approved Professional payouts, or an initial Professional payout combined with sustained consistency, sound risk management and account progression. Every transition is reviewed individually. Live accounts carry fixed limits:
- 50K: $2,500 max drawdown, $1,000 daily loss limit, 1 mini or 10 micros
- 100K: $3,500 max drawdown, $1,000 daily loss limit, 1 mini or 10 micros
- 150K: $4,500 max drawdown, $1,250 daily loss limit, 1 mini or 10 micros
The 1-mini cap applies at every Live size, a sharp cut for anyone running 10 or 15 minis in sim funded. FFF describes a Prestige path as the only way back in after exiting or failing the Professional or Live stage.
Eligibility and account limits
Payouts require KYC (KYB for accounts held by an LLC) plus a verified Rise account. You can hold up to 5 active funded accounts across all plans combined.
The restricted country list is long. It includes Russia, Belarus, Ukraine (including Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia), Turkey, Pakistan, Vietnam, Morocco, Iran and North Korea, among others.
How we checked Funded Futures Family
We visited fundedfuturesfamily.com on 13 November 2026, connecting from Tallinn, Estonia. The home page opened without trouble. We read it top to bottom, clicked the “$25K” size selector to reveal the plan details, then scrolled to the footer. The company line there reads Funded Futures Family LLC, 28780 Single Oak Dr temecula CA 92590, USA. From the footer we clicked through to About and to Terms & Conditions, and we also opened the FAQ and the payout data page.
The Sniper plan at $25,000 showed $69.99 as a one time fee. Its rules listed a $750 end-of-day drawdown that never locks and a $2,500 profit target between payouts. The maximum payout was $500 for the first two payouts and $1,000 from the third. The terms describe the operator as a California limited liability company and say plainly: “You are not entitled to a refund of the fee.” Payouts run through Rise and may involve identity verification. We never reached a checkout page, so we cannot say whether you need an account before paying.
No licence number appears anywhere we looked. The footer states that the firm is not registered with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) or the National Futures Association. Because the firm claims no licence, there was nothing to look up and we ran no register search. A reader should expect no regulator record behind this business.
On Trustpilot, read the same day, the firm scored 4.3/5 from 4,031 reviews. Of those, 84% were five-star and 12% one-star. The company has claimed the profile and had replied to 7 of the 8 newest reviews. That differs from the FAQ, which cites a 4.6-star rating across 2,900+ reviews. The Wayback Machine’s first capture of the domain is dated 2024-05-09, which fits the stated 2024 founding. We could not verify the payout totals. The FAQ says more than 29 million in one place and more than $24 million in another, and nothing we opened confirmed either figure.
Strengths and trade-offs
What works in its favor:
- Low $70 entry price on current $25K plans.
- No trade commission, per the firm.
- News trading, including Tier 1 releases, and copy trading tools are allowed.
- Daily, 5-day and 7-day payout cycles depending on plan.
What weighs against it:
- Short track record: about two years of operation.
- Complex terms: plan, account size and purchase date all change the rules.
- Withdrawal ceilings: per-payout caps, the Prime buffer, the Premier Plus 50% rule and the $100,000 lifetime cap limit what you can take out.
- Strict account rules: inactivity and CME price limit breaches close accounts, and algorithmic trading is banned.
- Tighter later stages: an 80/20 split at Professional and a 1-mini cap at Live.
