What is the Funded Futures Plan?

The Funded Futures Plan offering is a performance-based futures trading program. Traders move through four phases, each with defined goals and payouts, before graduating into a Live Funded Futures account.

Key Features of Funded Futures

Early Payouts – Earn real payouts beginning with Phase 1. Continue earning additional and increasing payouts after completing each subsequent phase.

Live Funded Transition – Advance through Phase 4 to unlock a Live Funded Futures account.

Consistency Requirement** – A 25% cap on your best day’s profit supports steady, professional trading behavior. (see “What is the Consistency Requirement**?” below for more details).

Your Path to Funding

Phase 1

– Reach the profit target while following the consistency requirement and adhering to the Max Loss Limit.

First Payout
– Upon completing Phase 1, you’re instantly eligible for your first payout.

Phases 2–4
– Hit each target, maintain consistency, and avoid the Max Loss to receive additional payouts.

Live Funded
– After Phase 4, you’ll transition to a Live Funded account. There is no Max Time restriction at this phase (inactivity still applies). Once you achieve this phase you are responsible for all platform and data fees (deducted monthly from the account balance). As long as traders adhere to the rules as defined above and remain profitable, they can continue trading

** A Consistency requirement encourages steady performance and discourages YOLO-style trading. Calculated as (Best Day PnL / Total PnL) × 100. Lower requirements = more consistent profits.

A 25% threshold means you must trade at least 4 days to hit targets or withdraw (100 ÷ 25 = 4). You can’t progress or withdraw until this is met.

How do the phases work?

Phase 1 begins once you purchase an account. Once you hit your profit target; while maintaining a 25% consistency, you will be able to request a payout and then advance to the next Phase. At each new Phase your account will begin with a fresh starting balance.

When do I get the payout for each Phase?

Once you complete a Phase and meet the 25% consistency rule you will be eligible to make a request for that Phase’s payout. You will not be able to advance to the next phase until the payout is requested and completed.

What is the Consistency Requirement**?

We have a Consistency Requirement to ensure traders aren’t hitting profit targets through a few lucky trades. This promotes consistent behavior and punishes YOLO style trading. The calculation is: (best trading day PnL/Total PnL) x 100.

A lower value means profits are generated more consistently across multiple trading days. A higher value means profits are concentrated on fewer trading days. For example, a consistency requirement of 25% means you cannot achieve your entire profit target in less than 4 days (100% / 25% = 4).

You must meet both the profit target and the consistency requirement — maintaining a consistency ratio at or below 25% — to hit your profit target, be eligible for a payout, and to advance to the next phase.

• Example 1: On a $100k account with a profit target of $8,000, if you earn $2,000 per day over 4 days, you meet the consistency requirement. Your best day is $2,000, and total profit is $8,000 — resulting in a consistency ratio of 25% ($2,000 / $8,000).

• Example 2: On a $100k account with a profit target of $8,000, if your profits across 4 days are $3,000, $1,000, $2,000, and $2,000, you violate the consistency requirement. Your best day is $3,000, and total profit is $8,000 — which gives a consistency ratio of 37.5% ($3,000 / $8,000). To meet the consistency requirement of 25%, you would now need to reach a total profit of $12,000 while keeping your best day at or below $3,000.

Do I lose my account if I don’t meet the Consistency Requirement?

No. But in order to complete the phase and be entitled to receive the payout, you will need to achieve both the profit target and the consistency requirement.

What is a Profit Target?

This is the predetermined profit amount you need to achieve in order to pass to the next phase of the program and be eligible to receive the payout.

Is there a Daily Loss Limit?

There is no specific Daily Loss Limit, but traders must always stay within the Max Trailing Loss.

How do you calculate the Maximum Trailing Loss?

The Maximum Trailing Loss for each phase trails using End of Day Balance. Example: If your starting balance is $100,000, and there is a 5% Max Trailing Loss, you can drawdown to $95,000 before you violate the Maximum Trailing Loss rule. Then for example let’s say you take your end of day balance to $102,000. This is your new End of Day High-Water Mark, which would mean your new Maximum Trailing Loss would be $97,000. Once you generate a 5% return in the account, the Max Trailing Loss will lock at the starting balance (i.e. the Max Loss Limit will never increase above your starting balance). For the purpose of all calculations, the end of day is defined as 1600 CST.

Can I reset my account if I lose it?

No. You will need to purchase a new account if you breach it for any reason.

Can I hold positions over the weekend?

No. All positions must be closed and all open orders cancelled at 1510 CST each weekday.

What is a Futures contract?

A futures contract represents a standardized amount of an underlying asset. For example, one E-mini S&P 500 futures contract (ES) represents $50 times the index price, while one crude oil (CL) contract represents 1,000 barrels of oil. See the attached product table in Appendix A.

How do I complete the CME market data attestation for Rithmic?

You must complete the CME market data attestation using the R | Trader Pro desktop app—this cannot be done through mobile or web platforms. Once you’ve completed the attestation in R | Trader Pro, you’ll be able to log in and trade through mobile or web apps. Please note: you must attest as a non professional; we do not accept professional status in this program.

What are the Market Data Fees?

Market data fees cover the cost of accessing real-time price data from the exchanges. These fees are included in your purchase price during Phases 1 through 4. Once you reach the Live Funded Futures phase, any applicable market data or platform fees will be deducted from your account balance on a monthly basis.

What is the 60 Day Maximum Time rule?

Each Phase (1-4) has a maximum time limit of 60 calendar days. This means you must meet all the requirements for a given phase within 60 days of starting that phase. If you do not complete a phase within the 60-day window, your account will be deactivated, regardless of your progress or profit level at that point. You will need to purchase a new Futures plan to continue. The timer begins on the day you place your first trade and continues uninterrupted. There are no extensions or pauses. Please plan your trading accordingly to stay on track throughout all four phases.

Is there a breach for inactivity in Phases 1-4

For Phases 1-4, you must place an executed trade once every 14 days to retain the account.
