MyFundedFutures (MFFU) FAQ

MFFU is a US futures prop firm offering eval-to-funded accounts on Tradovate and Rithmic, with support for Tradovate, NinjaTrader 8, Quantower, ATAS, Volumetrica/VolSys, R|Trader Pro, and TradingView charts. Three current plan tiers — Core, Rapid, Pro — plus Builder and Flex options. Founded June 2023 by Matt Leech in Texas. Known for explicitly permitted automation and copy trading, free monthly reset credits, and a 4.9 Trustpilot rating across ~17,000-18,000 reviews.

Yes. Established US futures prop firm with thousands of paid-out traders, transparent rule documentation, active support, and one of the highest sustained Trustpilot ratings in the industry. Survived the 2024-2025 prop firm collapse wave intact.

Founded June 2023, headquartered in Texas. Founder and CEO is Matthew (Matt) Leech, publicly known. MFFU is part of the broader Funded Futures Family group/branding, though the FFF help center positions FFF and MFFU as separate companies — MFFU operates as a distinct product within that group.

Most countries except OFAC-sanctioned and a small list of high-fraud jurisdictions. International payouts via Rise, PayPal (limited), and bank wire. Verify your country on the MFFU help center.

Sim-funded for evaluation and most of the funded phase. Pays real cash from sim performance. Live transition is a separate stage triggered by the Risk Manager after consistent payouts. The $100K cumulative sim-funded payout cap is applied per-plan, per-account-tier rather than a single per-trader figure across everything. Rapid additionally uses a $10K single-day net trigger as its live-transition threshold.

MFFU doesn't publicly disclose count. Based on Trustpilot review volume (~17,000-18,000 reviews as of May 2026) and Discord community size, the active trader base is in the tens of thousands.

4.9/5 across roughly 17,000-18,000 reviews as of May 2026 — among the highest sustained ratings in the futures prop firm industry. Reviews skew toward smooth payouts, automation friendliness, and customer support quality.

No — operates as a tech / contractor firm, not a broker-dealer. Standard for retail prop firms. Relationship governed by the MFFU funded trader agreement.

18 years old. Standard for retail prop firms.

Yes, up to 5 funded accounts (combinations of small-tier plans like Core $50K, Rapid $25K/$50K, Flex $25K/$50K); the limit is typically 3 for $100K and $150K plans on Rapid and Pro. Plus you can run separate eval accounts working toward funded.

Core: $50K only, 3% EOD trailing drawdown ($2,000), 80/20 split, $5,000 per-cycle payout cap, 40% funded consistency, payouts every 5 winning days. Rapid: $25K/$50K/$100K/$150K, 4% intraday trailing, 90/10 split, $11,250 per-cycle cap, no funded consistency rule, payouts every 5 winning days. Pro: $50K/$100K/$150K, 3% EOD trailing, 80/20 split, no per-cycle payout cap, no funded consistency, payouts every 14 calendar days. Pick based on capital, style, and payout needs.

Core $50K — the only Core account size offered, with EOD trailing drawdown that's forgiving for new traders and simple one-step rules. Free monthly reset credits cover early breaches. Builder is also a fair starter for traders confident they can hit a $3K target in one day.

Pro plan — no per-cycle payout cap means high-volume scalpers can pull large payouts. Watch the <200 trades/day HFT cap.

Core or Pro for EOD drawdown. MFFU has news trading restrictions (T1 events have flat windows) — confirm specific event policy. Overnight holding is not permitted on any plan.

Rapid $25K or Flex $25K are the cheapest entry points (Core does not have a $25K tier — Core starts at $50K). Builder $25K with 1-day pass capability is comparable. Pricing varies with promos — verify on myfundedfutures.com.

To simplify the lineup and align with industry trends — eliminated the legacy $149 Starter activation fee, raised the small-account funded count to 5, and replaced the older single-tier Starter plan with the Core / Rapid / Pro three-plan structure for clarity.

The legacy single-tier "Starter" plan (which carried a $149 activation fee on funded transition) was discontinued in July 2025. Existing Starter accounts were grandfathered into their original rules. New traders see only Core / Rapid / Pro / Builder / Flex. "Expert" and "Milestone" were never standard MFFU plan names.

Builder allows a 1-day pass on $3,000 profit target with no consistency rule during evaluation. Aimed at confident traders who want fast funding without the standard min-day grind.

Flex offers a 7-day Sim Funded reset window and entry pricing around $84-$107. Trade-off: tighter rules in exchange for faster reset access.

A Builder plan feature — hit the $3,000 target in a single trading day and the eval passes immediately. Available on Builder; not available on Core/Rapid/Pro which have multi-day minimums.

One-step. Hit the profit target without breaching MLL, you graduate to sim-funded.

One-step. Designed for fast progression to funded phase.

One-step. The Pro plan is intentionally streamlined; pay the higher upfront, hit the target, go funded with the loosest funded-phase rules of the lineup.

No — each plan is purchased separately. To switch, you'd need to abandon the current eval and buy the new plan. Pick carefully at purchase time.

Sizes vary by plan and are NOT uniform across the lineup. Core: $50K only. Rapid: $25K / $50K / $100K / $150K. Pro: $50K / $100K / $150K. Flex: $25K / $50K. Builder uses its own sizing. Verify current sizes on the pricing page.

$25K is offered on Rapid and Flex (NOT Core). Pricing is typically in the ~$77-$107/mo range with promos depending on plan. Promo pricing fluctuates; verify on myfundedfutures.com at purchase time.

Core $50K runs ~$77/mo promo (the cheapest Core option). Rapid $50K and Pro $50K are higher. Promo pricing fluctuates; verify on myfundedfutures.com at purchase time.

$100K is offered on Rapid and Pro (NOT Core — Core is $50K only). Promo pricing typically scales up from the $50K tier; verify current pricing on myfundedfutures.com.

$150K is offered on Rapid and Pro only (NOT Core). It's the largest available account size. Promo pricing scales up from $100K; verify current pricing on myfundedfutures.com.

Monthly subscription on Core / Rapid / Pro evals. Stops when you pass and graduate to sim-funded. Builder and Flex have different one-time pricing models.

No — activation fees were eliminated July 2025 across all plans. Pass the eval, graduate to funded with zero additional cost.

Yes — sim-funded accounts have no recurring subscription. The monthly fee was eval-only.

Up to 5 funded accounts in small-tier combinations (Core $50K, Rapid $25K/$50K, Flex $25K/$50K); up to 3 funded for $100K/$150K Rapid/Pro tiers. Eval accounts don't count against this limit.

Risk management — total simulated capital exposure is similar at 5 × $50K vs 3 × $150K. The cap is on total exposure, not raw account count.

$1,500 net profit on Rapid $25K (Core does NOT have a $25K tier). Flex $25K uses similar sizing. Verify the exact target on the help center.

$3,000 net profit on Core $50K (Core's only account size). Rapid $50K and Pro $50K use similar targets. Verify exact target on the help center.

$6,000 net profit on Core $100K.

$9,000 net profit on Core $150K.

Builder: 1-day pass possible. Core/Rapid/Pro: typically 5+ minimum trading days. Verify per plan on the parameters page.

No — only Builder. Core / Rapid / Pro require multi-day minimums (typically 5).

No — non-consecutive is fine. Take days off as needed; the minimum count just needs to be reached.

MFFU has tightened this — token trades typically don't count. Verify the specific definition; "meaningful activity" is the standard.

A trading day with positive net P&L (typically also above a minimum threshold). Used in payout-eligibility math on Rapid and other plans.

On Builder, yes — hit $3K target day 1, eval passes. On Core / Rapid / Pro, no — must meet the multi-day minimum.

Trailing drawdown that ratchets up with peak. Core/Pro use a 3% EOD trailing drawdown; Rapid uses a 4% intraday trailing drawdown. By account size: $50K = $2,000 DD, $100K = $3,000 DD, $150K = $4,500 DD. Rapid $25K uses a 4% intraday DD. Verify exact figures on the help center.

Depends on plan. Core: EOD. Rapid: intraday. Pro: EOD. Builder: EOD. The Rapid intraday is faster path to funded but more risky.

Core, Pro, Builder, and Flex use EOD trailing. The trail only updates at each day's close — much friendlier than intraday.

Rapid uses intraday trailing — every tick of unrealized profit raises the floor. Designed for fast-passing scalpers comfortable with tight risk.

Tick-by-tick equity-based. Open position unrealized profit moves the floor up; touching the floor breaches the account.

Yes — locks once you reach starting balance + drawdown + $100 buffer. After that the floor stays static.

Trail freezes at starting balance + drawdown + $100. Standard mechanism across MFFU plans. After freeze, it's effectively a static drawdown.

Generally no daily loss limit on MFFU eval — the trailing drawdown is the primary risk gate. Verify per plan.

A rule limiting how far from market the entry/exit prices can deviate, to prevent abuse of simulator slippage. Standard prop firm risk control.

Core uses EOD drawdown — intraday touches don't breach. Only the closing balance matters. Hold through wicks and survive as long as the close is above the floor.

Yes — Rapid is intraday, so unrealized profit moves the floor up tick by tick. Manage position size accordingly.

Drawdown floor stays at the locked level. Payouts don't move the floor up. Your buffer above the floor shrinks by the payout amount.

Best single day cannot exceed 50% of total cumulative profit at payout time. Standard prop firm consistency mechanism.

Evaluation: 50% best-day rule on all plans. Funded phase: Core has a 40% consistency rule; Rapid and Pro have NO consistency rule once funded. Builder eval has no consistency rule, but Builder funded payout cycles enforce a 50% single-day cap (one day cannot exceed 50% of cycle profits). Verify on the help center for your specific plan.

No. Pro funded phase has no consistency rule — one of Pro's main differentiators vs Core.

Eval: no consistency rule — Builder allows the 1-day pass. BUT during funded payout cycles, Builder DOES enforce a 50% single-day consistency cap: any one day cannot exceed 50% of that cycle's profits. Builder payouts are capped at a flat $2,000 each, with up to 5 sim payouts at 80/20 split.

Eval pass is delayed until you log additional smaller days that dilute the percentage below 50%. The account isn't killed — just delayed.

No — consistency violations delay payouts (or eval pass), they don't kill the account. Trade more days to fix.

Best day net P&L / total cumulative net P&L × 100. To stay under 50%, total profit must be at least 2x the best day.

Log additional smaller-profit days to grow the total denominator until the best-day percentage drops below 50%. Patience over panic.

You move to the sim-funded phase — same simulated environment, but the monthly subscription stops, the trailing drawdown locks, and you can request payouts after meeting first-payout criteria.

No — orders fill against simulated quotes. But MFFU pays REAL CASH from sim performance. The sim/live distinction is about order routing, not payout legitimacy.

Until you trigger MFFU's live-transition criteria, which are applied per-plan, per-account-tier rather than as a single $100K per-trader figure. The $100K cumulative payout figure is the common benchmark on Core/Pro, while Rapid uses a separate $10K single-day net trigger. The Risk Manager evaluates each tier independently. Most traders never reach the threshold.

The MFFU team that evaluates traders for live capital allocation. They review track record, trade behavior, and rule compliance before moving you to live.

Consistent multi-month payout track record, no rule violations, low volatility, demonstrated risk management. The exact criteria aren't publicly documented; the Risk Manager has discretion.

Live capital allocation is per-trader, not per-account. Most live transitions consolidate into one or a small number of live accounts.

Yes — live accounts route to real exchange fills. The transition from sim to live changes the fill mechanism but not the dashboard interface much.

Not as a single per-trader figure. The $100K cumulative sim-funded cap is applied per-plan, per-account-tier (e.g., separately for Core $50K vs Pro $100K). Rapid additionally uses a $10K single-day net trigger. Live transition is required once you hit the threshold on a given plan/tier.

Live accounts have more flexible withdrawal cadence. Verify exact rules with the Risk Manager when invited.

Live transition is invitation-based, not a structured eval. The Risk Manager evaluates trader history and decides allocation. Not a public formula.

Cadence varies per plan. Core and Rapid: every 5 winning days. Pro: every 14 calendar days. Builder: every 48 hours. Each plan has its own first-payout criteria too — verify on the payouts policy page.

Minimum profit thresholds vary by plan. Verify on the payouts policy page. Generally a few hundred dollars minimum.

Splits are FLAT per plan — there is NO "100% first $10K" tier. Core: flat 80/20. Rapid: flat 90/10. Pro: flat 80/20. Builder sim payouts: 80/20. Verify per-plan splits on MFFU's pricing/policy page.

No — that tier does NOT exist on MFFU. Splits are flat: Core 80/20, Rapid 90/10, Pro 80/20. Some other prop firms offer a 100%-first-tranche structure, but MFFU does not. Verify on MFFU's official policy.

Core: $5,000 per cycle. Rapid: $11,250 per cycle (NOT $5K). Pro: no per-cycle cap. Builder: flat $2,000 per payout, up to 5 sim payouts. To withdraw more on capped plans, multiple cycles required.

Pro is the premium plan — higher upfront cost, looser funded-phase rules including no per-cycle cap and no funded-phase consistency rule. Designed for high-volume traders.

The $100K cumulative cap is applied per-plan and per-account-tier — NOT as a single per-trader figure across all of MFFU. Rapid additionally uses a $10K single-day net live-transition trigger. Beyond the threshold on a given tier, MFFU evaluates that account for live capital transition.

Typically 1-3 business days for ACH and Rise; 2-5 days for international wires. Crypto payouts faster (hours).

ACH (US), Rise (international + crypto), bank wire, PayPal (limited). Verify available methods for your country in the dashboard.

Limited PayPal availability in some regions. Most international traders use Rise; US traders use ACH. Confirm in the dashboard.

Yes, especially for international traders. Bank-level wire fees apply.

Yes, via Rise — USDT/USDC supported in most regions. Often the fastest payout option.

$250 minimum on Core and Rapid. RiseWorks fiat payouts carry a flat $15 fee per payout. Verify exact minimums for Pro, Flex, and Builder on the payouts page.

5 winning days is the typical first-payout requirement. Some plans use different counts. Builder may have shorter paths to first payout.

CME hours — 6 PM ET Sunday through 5 PM ET Friday with daily 5-6 PM ET breaks. MFFU auto-flattens before the daily close.

No. Auto-flatten enforces no overnight holds. Standard for futures props.

Around 4:08-4:10 PM ET (3:08-3:10 PM CT). Verify exact time in your platform.

Tier-1 news events have flat windows (typically 2-5 minutes either side). Holding positions through major news on max size is restricted.

NFP, CPI, FOMC, GDP, retail sales, ECB/BOE rate decisions. The MFFU news policy page has the full list.

2-5 minutes either side, varies by event. PickMyTrade can implement automated time-window flattening if needed.

Builder follows the same news rules. Verify the plan-specific news policy.

Cross-account hedging banned. Same-account hedging policies vary by plan; futures platforms typically auto-net positions.

No. Same as every other prop firm — cross-account hedging is banned and detected.

Banned across major prop firms — cross-firm hedging is detected via shared blacklists. Don't try.

Roughly 3-4 minis or 30-40 micros at $25K. Verify exact cap per plan.

5-7 minis / 50-70 micros depending on plan.

10-12 minis / 100-120 micros.

15-17 minis / 150-170 micros.

10:1 standard. Funded phase may use 1:1 (micro = 1 mini equivalent for limits) — verify per plan as it changes the math significantly.

MFFU's funded-phase contract counting on some plans treats each micro as 1 unit instead of 1/10 of a mini. Effectively reduces position sizing on funded vs eval. Verify per plan.

CME equity index (ES, NQ, YM, RTY + micros), CL, NG (energy), some metals (subject to current restrictions), rates, currency futures, agricultural, EUREX. The MFFU permitted instruments list updates periodically.

February 2026 — full-size GC, SI, HG, PL, NG, QG temporarily restricted due to volatility. Micros (MGC, SIL) typically still permitted.

Generally yes — Micro Bitcoin (MBT) typically allowed on most plans. Counts as a mini for limit purposes. Verify on the instruments list.

Bitcoin and Ether futures (where CME offers them) are generally permitted, especially the micro versions. Verify current list.

MFFU runs on two data/execution rails: Rithmic and Tradovate. Supported front-end platforms include Tradovate, NinjaTrader 8, Quantower, ATAS, Volumetrica/VolSys, R|Trader Pro, and TradingView (for charting). MFFU has never used ProjectX. Sierra Chart works through Rithmic on supported plans.

MFFU provides Tradovate credentials when you activate. Login to Tradovate web/desktop, paste credentials, the account appears with real-time MLL display.

MFFU issues Rithmic credentials. Connect via R|Trader Pro, NinjaTrader, Quantower, or Sierra Chart. Sign the Rithmic Market Data Agreement before trading.

Common causes: wrong credentials (eval vs funded), VPN active (blocks connection), data feed agreement not signed. Disconnect VPN, re-verify credentials, contact support if persistent.

MFFU uses different Rithmic gateways for eval vs funded. Each gets its own credentials. Don't mix them — funded credentials won't authenticate to eval gateway.

Inside R|Trader Pro on first login. Required before live data flows. Pick non-professional unless you actually qualify as professional.

Non-Professional unless you actually meet the exchange's professional criteria (registered, employed in finance, trading for a business). Professional rates are 50-100x higher.

Yes — Rithmic blocks VPN/datacenter IPs. Disconnect VPN before connecting. MFFU's TOS may also prohibit VPN use.

Quantower connects via Rithmic. Add Rithmic connection in Quantower's Connections panel using your MFFU Rithmic credentials.

NinjaTrader 8 connects via Tradovate or Rithmic. Add the connection in Connections menu using MFFU credentials.

No native TradingView panel for MFFU specifically. Use TradingView for charting, route alerts via PickMyTrade webhook to MFFU's Tradovate or Rithmic backend.

Yes via Tradovate's mobile app. Order entry, charts, P&L all work. NinjaTrader mobile is limited.

Yes — explicitly permitted as of late 2025 update. Trader-owned semi-automated systems including TradingView webhook bridges. Distinguishing factor in MFFU's favor vs more restrictive firms.

HFT (>200 trades/day), latency arbitrage, news straddle bots, fully autonomous unsupervised AI bots, sim-quirk exploitation. Trader-supervised semi-auto is fine.

200 trades per day cap on the HFT-style threshold. Above that triggers MFFU's HFT rule and may result in account review.

No — fully autonomous unsupervised AI bots are explicitly banned. Semi-automated with human oversight is allowed.

Yes — explicitly permitted. PickMyTrade is structurally semi-automated by design (TradingView signals, monitored execution, instant override).

Yes for same-direction copying across YOUR own MFFU accounts. No copying from another trader's account. Tradesyncer is sometimes referenced as MFFU's recommended copier; PickMyTrade also handles multi-account routing natively.

Tradesyncer is a third-party copy trading service some MFFU users employ for multi-account routing. PickMyTrade is an alternative that also handles TradingView webhook integration alongside multi-account copy.

Yes — explicitly allowed for same-direction copy across your own accounts. PickMyTrade routes a single TradingView alert to all your MFFU accounts simultaneously.

Yes. PMT supports MFFU on Tradovate and Rithmic. Setup at pickmytrade.trade — connect your MFFU credentials, get a webhook URL, paste into TradingView alerts.

Sign up for PMT, add MFFU as a broker, authenticate, get the webhook URL. Paste into TradingView alert webhook field, format the message as JSON. Alert fires → PMT routes to MFFU → fill in sub-second.

In your Pine strategy, add alert() calls with JSON payload. Create a TradingView alert on the strategy with PMT's webhook URL. PMT receives, validates, executes on MFFU. Set "Once per bar close" frequency for non-repaint behavior.

Yes — flagship PMT use case. Single alert, broadcast to all 5 accounts, same direction. MFFU explicitly permits this.

Yes — both rails. Pick whichever your MFFU plan uses. Some traders run different accounts on different rails for diversification.

PMT is a webhook bridge, not a copier in the trader-to-trader sense. When PMT routes one signal to multiple of YOUR accounts, MFFU treats it as compliant same-direction multi-account routing — explicitly permitted.

Account closes. On Core/Rapid/Pro you can use a free reset credit (one per monthly renewal) or pay for a reset to restart. Funded accounts can be reset once each.

Reset costs vary by plan and account size — typically equal to that plan's monthly subscription. For example, a Core $50K reset is roughly $77, and resets scale up for larger sizes and Rapid/Pro tiers. The free monthly reset credit applies first when available.

Yes — one free reset credit on every monthly renewal. Industry-unique perk that makes MFFU more forgiving than competitors after a breach.

Automatic — when your subscription renews, MFFU credits one free reset. Use it via the dashboard reset button if you breach.

Yes — once per funded account. After that, you'd need to start from a new evaluation.

Flex plan-specific — 7 days from sim-funded activation to claim a reset if needed. Different from Core/Rapid/Pro reset mechanics.

Yes for serious rule violations: hedging, copy trading from external traders, HFT, latency arbitrage, identity fraud, chargebacks. Permanent ban with cross-firm blacklist exposure.

Cross-account hedging, copying from another trader, fully autonomous AI bots without supervision, identity fraud, chargebacks, account sharing. The funded trader agreement lists all infractions.

Yes — 1099-NEC for US traders with $600+ in payouts. Distributed February 17, 2026 for the 2025 tax year via registered mailing address (Plaid/ACH payouts) or via payment platform (Riseworks/PayPal).

Late January to mid-February following the tax year. 2025 forms went out February 17, 2026.

MFFU has more flexible automation rules (explicitly allowed) and free reset credits. Apex 4.0 has the metals halt and mandatory SL/TP rule. Apex's 50% consistency vs MFFU's similar level. Both are reasonable; pick MFFU if you prioritize automation friendliness.

MFFU keeps Tradovate / Rithmic / NinjaTrader / Quantower available; Topstep moved to TopstepX-only. MFFU's automation policy is clearer than Topstep's. Topstep has stronger brand recognition and a larger Discord community.

Both allow automation. Tradeify went one-time fees in March 2026; MFFU still uses monthly subscription on Core/Rapid/Pro. MFFU has more plan variety; Tradeify has Lightning instant funding.

Free monthly reset credit, no activation fee since July 2025, explicit automation permission, simpler funded-phase rules on Pro, no metals halt (in early 2026).

Yes — active Discord with thousands of traders. Link from myfundedfutures.com.

Sim-funded = orders fill against simulated quotes (not real exchange). MFFU pays real cash from simulated profits. The distinction is fill mechanism, not payout legitimacy. Most major US futures props operate this way.
