The Scaled Account model is designed to reward consistent and disciplined traders by gradually increasing their trading capacity as they generate profits.
This system encourages sustainable scaling, capital preservation, and long-term consistency, helping traders transition from smaller positions to full-size allocations responsibly.
Trading Conditions
Trading Hours - 6PM - 3:59PM EST
You can trade between 6:00 PM and 3:59 PM EST (Eastern Standard Time / NY Time) or 18:00 to 15:59 EST.
🔔 Reminder: Open trades will automatically close at 3:59 PM, with no impact on your account's status
News Trading – Allowed
News Trading is completely allowed for Instant Funded accounts
Minimum Trading Day - None
Instant Funded accounts have no minimum trading days
Despite this, we highly encourage everyone to trade consistently and possible even beyond the single trading day as this helps a lot in forming great traders as you experience the market more.
This also serves as an advantage for traders to consistently evaluate their trading performances as well as improve and fully master the art of trading.
Profit Target - 6%
The account balance must reach 6% profit relative to starting account balance.
Example:
Initial account balance: $100,000
Profit Target (6%): $6,000
Your balance must reach $106,000 to proceed to the next phase.
Contract Sizing - Up to 9 Contracts
Your contract allocation scales with your profit milestones to promote consistent growth and disciplined risk management.
As you reach higher profit thresholds, you unlock access to more contracts — allowing you to gradually increase position size without overexposing your account.
This approach ensures traders grow proportionally to their performance, maintaining stability and consistency along the way.
Profit Requirement | $50,000 | $100,000 | $150,000 |
Below $1,000 | 1 mini / 5 micro | 2 mini / 10 micro | 2 mini / 10 micro |
$1,000 - $2,000 | 2 mini / 10 micro | 3 mini / 15 micro | 3 mini / 15 micro |
$2,000 - $4,000 | 3 mini / 15 micro | 4 mini / 20 micro | 4 mini / 20 micro |
$4,000 - $6,000 |
| 6 mini / 30 micro | 6 mini / 30 micro |
Above $6,000 |
|
| 9 mini / 45 micro |
Consistency Score - Challenge Phase
Consistency Score – 50%
When Does It Apply?
The 50% Consistency Rule applies only during the Challenge Phase.
It does not apply once you reach the Funded Stage.
What Is the 50% Consistency Rule?
This rule ensures that your performance in the Challenge reflects consistent trading behavior and risk management.
What happens if you have not reached the 50% consistency?
You must continue trading to reach the 50% consisntecy and proceed to the funded phase.
You simply need to continue trading until your overall profits increase enough that your highest profit day is below 50% of your total profit.
Example:
Day 1:
Total Profits: $2,000
50% of $2,000 = $1,000 → Need to continue trading
One-day Profit = $1,200
Day 2 - More Trades:
Total Profits: $2,400
50% of $2,400 = $1,200 → Follows rule, may proceed to funded
One-day Profit = $1,200
Key Points
Applies only to the Challenge Phase.
No penalties — just a requirement to keep trading until consistency is shown.
Designed to promote sustainable and steady trading behavior.
Rules and Objectives (Hard Breach)
Any violation of a hard breach rule or trading objective will result in the immediate termination of the account.
Daily Loss Limit
None
This rule does not apply to Scale Accounts
Maximum Loss Limit
Drawdown Type: Trailing
Calculation of the maximum drawdown based on the account balance at the end of each trading day
Current account balance must not reach -3% or -4% of the initial account balance relative to yesterday's EOD balance.
When your balance at the end of day reaches 3% + $100 (4% + $100 for the 50k), your EOD drawdown will be locked at initial balance + 100$ and will not trail anymore.
Example 1:
Initial Account Balance: $50,000
4% of Initial Account Balance: $2,000
Highest EOD Balance: $50,717.90
Max. Drawdown Limit: $48,717.9
Example 2:
Initial Account Balance: $50,000
4% of Initial Account Balance: $2,000
Highest EOD Balance: $53,900
Max. Drawdown Limit: $50,100
Inactivity Rule
Users must place at least 1 trade every 7 days on their funded account. This is to make sure that the user is still active and prevent abandoned accounts.
If a trader does not place a trade in a week, the account is terminated and is not due for a refund or any payout bonuses.
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.

Max Loss Limit on Payout
After a payout, your Max Loss Limit is reset to your initial account balance + $100, regardless of the payout amount.
Withdrawing more than this threshold will fail the account.
Example:
Account size (initial balance): $50,000
Current balance: $50,500
Required balance after payout: $50,000 + $100 = $50,100
If you request $400:
$50,500 − $50,100 = $400 ✅
If you request $500:
$50,500 − $500 = $50,000 (< $50,100) → Account Fails ❌
Payout Frequency - 5 Winning Days
Traders can request payouts after meeting the minimum number of winning days. Regardless of account size, the minimum payout you can request stays the same. Here are the requirements per account size:
Account Size | Winning Days Required | Daily Profit Requirement | Minimum Payout |
$50,000 | 5 winning days | At least $100/day | $250 |
$100,000 | 5 winning days | At least $200/day | $250 |
$150,000 | 5 winning days | At least $300/day | $250 |
