Path To Live

What is Path To Live Funding?+
The Live Fund is FTFunded's real capital program. Once you hit the required milestones in your Fast Track account, we move you to a live funded account where you trade real money with none of the restrictions.
How do I qualify for the Live Funded Accounts?+
You qualify by hitting one of two milestones on your Fast Track account:
  • 5 payouts — complete 5 successful payouts, or
  • 30 winning days — achieve 30 days where you profit $200 or more
What happens to my accounts when I move to Live Funding?+
We combine the balances from all of your Fast Track accounts into a single pooled account. You keep the same buying power and trade the same number of contracts you were already trading — nothing changes there.
What rules apply on the Live Funded Account?+
None. There are no consistency rules, no minimum or maximum withdrawal limits, and no other trading restrictions. You also get access to same-day payouts — request your profits and get paid the same day, no waiting.
Can I withdraw whenever I want?+
Yes. Same-day payouts are available with no minimums, no maximums, and no holding periods. Request a withdrawal any time and receive it the same day.

Fast Track Accounts

What are FAST TRACK accounts?+
A 'FAST TRACK' account allows traders to skip the typical challenge phases and begin trading simulated funds immediately. This gives FTFunded traders direct access to a simulated funded account with the potential to start earning profits towards their payout from day one. FTFunded offers Fast Track account sizes of $50K, $100K & $150K.
What type of Drawdown do FAST TRACK accounts have?+

We have a Trailing EOD drawdown, which adjusts as your balance grows but stops trailing once it reaches your initial account balance.

Example with a $100,000 account (using 4% max drawdown):

  • Start: Floor is $96,000. Don’t drop below this.
  • At $105,000 balance: Floor moves to $100,800, but we cap it at $100,000 (your original start). So, your real floor is now $100,000.
  • At $106,000 balance: Floor stays at $100,000 — it doesn’t go higher.
Is there a Consistency rule?+
Yes, we have a 25% consistency rule. No single trading day's profit should exceed 25% of your total profits accumulated over your trading period. This encourages traders to maintain a steady trading strategy and avoid over-reliance on a few high-profit days.
What's the MAX amount I can withdraw?+
The minimum payout request on a Fast Track Account is $250; maximum is $5,000 on all Fast Track sizes.

What happens if a rule violation is detected?+
If any breach or prohibited practice is detected, that account is suspended and rendered ineligible for future rewards or to advance to the next stage.
Is there an inactivity limit?+
Yes. If no trades are placed on your account for 30 consecutive days, it will be breached due to inactivity. This applies to both Evaluation and Simulated Funded accounts. Breached accounts cannot be reinstated and fees are non-refundable.
Which trading practices are prohibited?+

Automation:

  • High-frequency trading or bots (more than 100 trades/day)
  • Unsupervised EAs
  • Latency arbitrage
  • Tick scalping (under 5 seconds)

Strategy abuse:

  • Order book spamming
  • Favorable fill exploitation
  • Reverse trading or mirroring
  • Group trading or shared accounts
  • Trading outside the best bid/offer
  • Excessive churning
Do you have audit rights on my account?+
Yes. All trades must adhere to CME Group rules. We reserve the right to review trading styles, history, and patterns at any time. Non-compliance — even post-payout request — voids eligibility. Engaging in any prohibited practice (intentional or not) results in immediate account breach, forfeiture of profits, and potential permanent ban.
