Funded Futures Network
Compare MAX Standard and STEADY, their entry costs, loss limits and the conditions behind a payout.
Funded Futures Network Account Comparison
MAX Standard retains a soft daily loss limit and 40% funded consistency. STEADY passes in as few as two qualifying winning days, then uses five-day payout cycles without funded consistency.
Both plans use EOD drawdown. The platform choice does not change these listed fees.
Entry fees use the current website and October screenshots. Older MAX articles list monthly prices; the current rules portal lists these purchases as one-time. Resets, commissions and live data are excluded. FUTURESPROP is the owner-confirmed 50% offer; checkout controls eligibility.
Compare both plans at the selected size
This review covers the two evaluations in your screenshots. OG and Express MAX are retired for new purchases; direct Sim Funded purchases, where offered, have separate terms.
Funded Futures Network Drawdown Rules
The loss floor follows closing highs, never falls after a losing day, and eventually locks at starting balance + $100. Both illustrations use the same equity path to show the calculation clearly.
Fixed $50K sim-funded examples, independent of account selectors. Both plans use a $2,000 EOD trailing floor that stops at $50,100. MAX Standard also has a $1,250 daily loss pause; the plotted path stays within it. STEADY has no daily loss limit. No payout is depicted.
EOD describes when the floor rises. It does not make the current floor safe to cross intraday: the STEADY article also says touching it at any time fails the account. Follow your dashboard and contract.

Evaluation gains are not withdrawable. Sim Funded payouts retain a plan-specific buffer and use the size caps below. Only profit earned since the previous payout can be withdrawn.

Processing and payment methods
Eligible requests can be submitted the same day through ACH, PayPal or bank wire. FFN lists no payout or processing fee; provider settlement times can differ. Stop trading until the account balance is adjusted, or the payout may be declined.
Payment and processing rulesPromotion review closes all Sim Funded accounts
The fourth payout request on one account, or ten payout requests since the previous review across accounts, triggers review. All Sim Funded accounts close regardless of the outcome; evaluations stay open. The requested payout is reviewed normally.
Promotion requires performance review and a risk interview. Sim balances do not transfer. The live Institution begins with $3,000 of FFN capital, a $0 initial MLL and 90% trader share. The first live payout establishes a Permanent Risk Buffer; later EOD MLL calculations use it.

The website lists Onyx, FundX / Quantower, EdgeProX and MotiveWave. Check your preferred platform license and supported instruments before buying.

The current selector offers Nexus Connect, with Nexus Trader and Onyx shown. Choose the connection at purchase; a platform logo does not imply every account supports every external integration.
Funded Futures Network Trading Rules
A daily-loss pause does not erase an independent drawdown breach. Missing a payout gate means ineligibility; breaking a trading rule can close the account.
Consistency by phase40% MAX · 52% STEADY evalEligibility gate
MAX keeps 40% in evaluation and funded. Its funded profit tally resets after a payout but the best day on record remains. STEADY has 52% evaluation consistency and none when funded.

The listed maximum is not the starting funded allocation. Both current website plans show profit tiers. The table under Payouts updates the relevant size; confirm limits after withdrawals.
Official ruleNews eventsEvaluation allowed · Funded restrictedFlat ±1 minute
The current rules portal requires no positions or pending orders one minute before, during and one minute after T1 releases in funded accounts. Use Financial Juice. An older STEADY promotion says no blackout; use current phase-specific rules.
Official ruleTrading hoursDaily close requiredNo overnight or weekend hold
Evaluation and Sim Funded positions and pending orders must be flat by 4:50 PM in FFN’s stated Eastern time, reopening at 6 PM. On early closes, flatten one minute before CME close. Institution has an earlier 4:44 PM ET cutoff.
Official ruleCopying and hedgingFive copied accounts maximumNo opposing index exposure
At most five active Sim Funded and five copied accounts, across phases. Evaluation purchases have no numeric limit. Hedging ES/MES/NQ/MNQ against one another or opposing mini/micro positions violates FFN rules. FFN hedging FAQ
Official ruleAutomation and fast tradesApproval required for automationHFT threshold applies
The FAQ allows automation at FFN discretion. The current HFT rule fails an account if more than 30% of a session’s trades have round-trip duration of five seconds or less. Manual and automated trades both count.

Each account needs three qualifying days per rolling 29-day period. Each day must close with at least $5 realized profit or loss; logging in is insufficient. Failed accounts are included.
