Funded Futures Network

CONTRADICTION — FFN publishes three different clocks for the same event and does not reconcile them. Article 5.5 (updated 2026-03-25) ends its request walkthrough with “Payout is requested the same day it’s available in your dashboard. (Can take up to 3 business days to process)”, the outer bound of the three. Article 5.1 says only that “FFN processes payouts on a same-day basis. ‘Same day’ means the day you become eligible to withdraw is the day you can submit your request — there is no waiting for a specific day of the week or a monthly cycle”, i.e. same-day refers to when a request may be submitted, not when money arrives. Article 4.3 gives Live-Funded accounts a firmer promise — “Same-day, daily — sent within 24 hrs of request” — and the homepage generalises that to every account: “Same day payouts are processed within 24 hours via ACH, PayPal, or bank wire.” Sim-Funded payout timing is described only as “Standard processing” in the Article 4.3 comparison table. No settlement or transfer time is published for any method. One operational condition applies while a payout is pending: “Do not trade your account until your account balance has been adjusted. If you trade on the account before the funds are sent, your payout will be declined.”

Article 3.4’s session table is headed “Session | Must Be FLAT By | Can Reopen At” and reads “Daily (Monday–Friday) | 4:50 PM EST | 6:00 PM EST”, “Weekend (Friday close) | 4:50 PM EST Friday | 6:00 PM EST Sunday” and “Early market close (holidays) | 1 minute before market close | Per CME schedule”. FLAT is strict: “FLAT means no orders whatsoever on your chart — no open positions and no pending/conditional orders. Simply having an order waiting to fill violates the flat requirement.” Holding past the close fails the account — “Held position past 4:50 PM EST | Account liquidated and failed” — and on holiday early closes the trader carries the risk alone because “FFN’s auto-close will not operate on non-standard close times. If you have trades during a holiday early market closure, your account will be liquidated and considered failed.” Holiday sessions follow the official CME Group schedule and “may combine two trading days into one… a combined day’s profits count as one session” for consistency tracking. A Standard MAX daily-loss-limit hit is a session lockout, not a failure: “Trading resumes at the start of the next session (6:00 PM EST).” CONTRADICTION — the HFT policy defines the day differently: “A trading session is defined as 6:00 PM ET to 5:00 PM ET the following day, Monday through Friday” (Article 3.8, updated 2026-05-15), a 5:00 PM close against the 4:50 PM flat deadline every other page states. Both are published. FFN writes EST year-round and never states whether the clock shifts for daylight time.

Two caps, both per user: “Maximum accounts per user (any type) | 10” and “Maximum accounts copy-traded simultaneously | 5” (Article 7.1), with the funded limit stated as “you can have up to a total of 10 accounts, however, you can only have 5 funded accounts. If you have 10 accounts, 5 will be made funded, and the others will remain in the evaluation or exhibition phase until you close the funded accounts” (FFN FAQ). Article 4.3 repeats it: “You are only allowed to have 5 active funded accounts at one time. If you have passed more than 5, the passed evaluations after the first 5 will be put in your queue and added when the initial 5 funded accounts are blown.” No separate evaluation-account cap is published — 10 is the all-types total. The copy-trading limit of 5 is a separate constraint on how many accounts may run the same strategy, not an account allowance. No household or shared-address rule is published; Article 3.7 instead polices account relationships through IP integrity. “All final decisions are at the sole discretion of FFN.”

Historical checkout evidence, before the current one-time MAX pricing: Non-refundable — but the only place FFN says so is a checkout modal, and the document it points at does not carry the term. There is no refund policy page: https://fundedfuturesnetwork.com/refund-policy returns the byte-identical Angular SPA shell served by every other route and renders nothing. The statement lives in a “Terms & Refund Policy” modal the buyer must tick “I Accept” on before paying, in two variants. Recurring SKUs (Max Standard): “All account purchases, subscriptions, and payments are non-refundable. By completing your purchase you agree that fees are charged on a recurring basis until you cancel, and that no refunds will be issued for past or current charges. You may cancel anytime to stop future renewals. If you believe you were charged in error, contact support and we’ll review your request.” One-time SKUs (STEADY): “All account purchases and payments are non-refundable. This is a one-time charge — there is no subscription and nothing renews. By completing your purchase you agree that no refunds will be issued. If you believe you were charged in error, contact support and we’ll review your request.” The modal links these as “Full terms” to the Terms of Use, which contain exactly one occurrence of the word refund and it is unrelated to purchases — an advertiser clause: “you understand and agree there will be no refund or other compensation for DMCA takedown-related issues.” So the linked terms do not carry the refund term the modal asserts. The Risk Disclosure PDF says only that fees “are refundable only as expressly stated in FFN’s published policies”, and that “you may incur recurring subscription fees, activation fees, or reset fees without ever receiving a payout”. No cooling-off window of any length is published. NO CHARGEBACK CLAUSE EXISTS — neither the Terms of Use, the Privacy Notice, the Risk Disclosure PDF nor the checkout modal mentions chargebacks, payment disputes or reversals at all, so nothing is published about what happens to an account if a trader disputes a charge. Cancelling is the only published exit and it forfeits value in both directions: a Max Standard subscription can be cancelled anytime to stop future renewals but “Your subscription continues unless you cancel it. A failed evaluation means you need to reset ($100 fee) or start a new subscription”, and closing accounts destroys accrued profit — “If you choose to close your accounts, you will forfeit your profits on any accounts closed. This includes funded accounts.” Termination by FFN carries no refund either: “Third-party account access | Account is immediately terminated. Subscription fees are non-refundable. Pending payouts are forfeited.”

Not a simple no-trade timer — a minimum activity quota. Article 6.5: “To keep and maintain your account, you must complete at least 3 qualifying trading days within every 29-day period. If an account does not record 3 qualifying trading days within a 29-day period, it is automatically cancelled”, where “a qualifying trading day is any day the account closes with a realized profit or loss of at least $5” and “simply logging in, placing and cancelling orders, or leaving the platform open does not count”. “Cancellation is automatic. No warning is required and no manual review is performed.” It also catches dead accounts: “Because a blown account cannot record qualifying trading days, a blown account left idle for 29 days is automatically deleted along with any active account.” If it leaves the trader with nothing, “that user’s data and platform licenses are disabled” including the Rithmic feed, and access is restored only by buying a new account.

Live review is triggered by the fourth payout request on one account or the tenth request across all accounts since the last review. Other sim-funded accounts are flattened and closed; the triggering payout can still be approved. Skip the Eval accounts trigger review on their third request instead.

Read from the “Products and Commissions” table in Article 12.1 (updated 2026-03-04), which is the only published product list — 42 contracts in a three-column table headed “Product | Symbol | Commission”. The table gives one commission figure per contract and says nothing about how it is charged: neither “per side” nor “round turn” appears anywhere in FFN’s material, so the basis of the charge is unpublished. Commissions are $2.49 on every full-size contract (equity index, FX, energy, metals, grains and livestock), $0.89 on every micro (MES, MNQ, MYM, M2K, MBT, MCL, MGC, SIL), and a bespoke rate on the Treasury complex: ZT $1.66, ZF $1.66, ZN $1.81, ZB $1.88, UB $1.86. MET (“Micro Eth”) appears in the FAQ rather than the commission table: “you may trade E-micro products such as MES, MNQ, M2K, MYM, MCL, MBT, and MET… We currently list Micro ES, Micro NQ, Micro Dow, Micro Crude Oil, Micro Bitcoin, Micro Eth, and soon to come Nano-BTC (an even smaller Bitcoin contract!)”, so it carries no published commission. The table is not closed: “If a trader would like to trade a product outside of the CME markets (Example: NYMEX, CBOT, COMEX) please contact support via email or chat on our website”, and the FAQ adds “If there is a particular Micro product that you wish to trade, and it is not listed as one of our available products, feel free to reach out to the support team and we are likely to make the necessary adjustments.” FFN publishes no exchange, tick size or point value for any contract. Commissions are charged inside the simulated account: “During your evaluation period, the fees and commissions WILL be calculated and applied to your evaluation SIM balance, so it’s important when tracking your PnL to account for the costs involved in each transaction.” Position size is governed by a per-size contract limit rather than margin (3/4/10/15/20 minis, or ten times that in micros, for $25K–$250K), and “if you exceed your contract limits at ANY point (evaluation, exhibition, or funded), the account is failed immediately”; in funded accounts the limit scales by profit tier but only with prior risk-manager approval — “There is NO automatic scaling in funded accounts.”
