Prohibited Trading Practices
Challenges in Simulated Markets
While simulated trading closely mirrors live market conditions, certain strategies may take advantage of its specific nuances. These tactics might succeed during evaluations but may not perform as well in real market scenarios. To ensure fairness and maintain a level playing field, we have established clear rules to prevent such practices and support genuine trading integrity.
Section 1: Guidelines for Automated Trading
To ensure a fair trading environment, we have implemented specific guidelines for the use of automated trading systems:
High-Frequency Scalping: Systems that engage in excessive high-frequency trading, particularly those executing more than 200 trades per day, are restricted.
Prohibition of Full Automation: The use of fully automated trading systems, including AI and bots, is not permitted on any account type.
Controlled Semi-Automation: Traders are allowed to use semi-automated systems, provided they actively oversee and manage trades manually.
No Continuous Trading: Continuous, hands-off trading that operates around the clock is strictly prohibited.
Section 2: Ethical Trading Practices and Order Management
We prioritize ethical trading practices and proper order management to maintain a stable and fair market environment:
Manipulative Order Placement: Placing multiple limit orders at the same price to manipulate order fills is strictly prohibited.
Avoiding Market Gaps Exploitation: Engaging in trades to exploit isolated fills in illiquid markets is not allowed.
Slippage and Bracket Exploitation: Leveraging the absence of slippage or tight brackets to gain unfair advantages is prohibited.
Trading During Major Economic Events: Trading during significant economic data releases is restricted to prevent undue volatility.
Compliance with Market Regulations: All trading activities must adhere to the rules and regulations established by the CME Group.
No Coordinated Trading: Coordinated trading strategies across multiple accounts are prohibited to prevent unfair practices. While copying trades across multiple funded accounts can be a useful risk management strategy, it's crucial to manage your risk and trade sizes carefully. Remember that hedging positions across multiple accounts is not allowed. Additionally, coordinating trades with other traders to manipulate our program is strictly prohibited. Our Risk Management Team closely monitors all accounts to ensure adherence to best practices.
Account Management: Allowing others to manage your account is strictly prohibited.
Copy Trading: Replicating the trades of another trader by automatically executing the same trades in your account is not allowed. However, you may copy trade between your own accounts.
Account Stacking: refers to a trading practice where a trader aggressively trades until hitting the Maximum Loss Limit or Daily Drawdown on one account, then switches to another account to repeat the process. The aim is to take high-risk trades continuously until a profitable outcome occurs. This behavior is prohibited as it manipulates risk parameters and breaches our trading guidelines. We recommend waiting for at least 5 minutes before entering another position.
Section 3: Enforcement and Consequences for Violations
Funding Futures enforces stringent consequences for any violations of our trading policies to ensure fairness and integrity:
Immediate Termination: Any breach of our guidelines may lead to the immediate termination of your trading agreement.
Confiscation of Profits: Profits gained through prohibited practices will be confiscated.
Evaluation Review: Evaluations that have been passed are subject to review. Traders found in violation of policies will not receive funding and may be ineligible for refunds.
Our guidelines are designed to protect both traders and our firm, fostering an environment where genuine trading skills can thrive. Adhering to these rules helps build a sustainable and profitable trading space for all participants.
Payouts
Profit Split
You are entitled to 90% profits in the account for the entire duration of your account
Payout Profit Goal
To request your first payout, you must reach a one-time profit goal based on a percentage of your account balance.
After that, you can continue requesting payouts each time you meet the ongoing profit goals. These are also based on your account size.
Breakdown is provided below
Account Size | First Payout Percentage(%) | First Payout Goal | Ongoing Payout Percentage (%) | Ongoing Payout Goal | Payout Cap |
$25,000 | 6% | $1,500 | 4% | $1,000 | $1,000 |
$50,000 | 6% | $3,000 | 4% | $2,000 | $2,000 |
$100,000 | 6% | $6,000 | 3.5% | $3,500 | $2,500 |
$150,000 | 6% | $9,000 | 3% | $4,500 | $3,000 |
Consistency Score
Consistency Score - 20%
What is the 20% Consistency Rule?
This rule ensures that your trading results reflect consistent strategy and risk management.
In short: No single trading day should make up 20% or more of your total profits.
How It Affects Withdrawals
If you violate the 20% rule:
You are not eligible for withdrawal yet.
Your account is not terminated.
You simply need to continue trading until your total profits grow enough to reduce that day's profit to below 40%.
What to Do If You Exceed 20%
Keep trading to increase your total profits until the high-profit day becomes less than 20% of the total.
Example:
Before:
Total Profits: $5,000
20% of $5,000 = $1,000
One-day Profit = $1,150 → Ineligible for Payout
After Trading More:
Total Profits: $6,000
20% of $6,000 = $1,200
One-day Profit = $1,150 → Eligible for Payout
Key Points
The rule only applies to payouts, not account status.
No penalties, just a delay in withdrawals until consistency is demonstrated.
Keep trading if you exceed the limit to become eligible.
