How to pass a Funded Futures Family evaluation: the rules and the math
- Funded Futures Family sells 4 evaluations: Prime Evaluation, Premier+ Evaluation (EOD), Premier+ Evaluation (Intraday) and Velocity Evaluation.
- Drawdown: Prime Evaluation and Premier+ Evaluation (EOD) trail end of day, stopping at the starting balance; Premier+ Evaluation (Intraday) and Velocity Evaluation trail intraday and never stop trailing.
- Consistency to pass: Velocity Evaluation 40%; Prime Evaluation, Premier+ Evaluation (EOD) and Premier+ Evaluation (Intraday) have none.
- These are Funded Futures Family's published rules as of September 25, 2026. Funded Futures Family's current help center always governs.
This guide walks through what each Funded Futures Family evaluation actually requires, with the numbers worked out at 50K, and what changes once you're funded. It explains the rules and the arithmetic; it doesn't recommend a plan or a strategy.

Plan by plan
Prime Evaluation
On a 50K, your floor starts at $48,000 and trails your highest end-of-day balance. It stops rising once it reaches $50,000, your starting balance, which happens the first time your close reaches $52,000. From then on it's fixed.
There's no consistency rule to pass this plan, so in principle a single strong day can reach the target.
Daily loss limit: no daily loss limit. List price (50K): $204 a month, with no activation fee.
Funded Futures Family's own notes on this plan:
- Prices and contracts are for the Max position option. The Standard option costs $129 / $179 / $279 / $365 and allows 2 / 4 / 6 / 10 minis.
- No daily loss limit and no consistency rule.
- Activate the funded account within 7 days of passing.
- Positions are auto-closed at 4:45 PM ET. At least one trade (held over 10 seconds) every week, or the account is closed.
Premier+ Evaluation (EOD)
On a 50K, your floor starts at $48,500 and trails your highest end-of-day balance. It stops rising once it reaches $50,000, your starting balance, which happens the first time your close reaches $51,500. From then on it's fixed.
There's no consistency rule to pass this plan, so in principle a single strong day can reach the target.
Daily loss limit: no daily loss limit. List price (50K): $194 a month, with no activation fee.
Funded Futures Family's own notes on this plan:
- Prices are for FastPass (pass in 1 day). The Standard pass costs $119 / $159 / $249 / $459 and needs 2 days.
- No daily loss limit.
- Contract limits apply to accounts bought on or after Sep 9, 2026.
Premier+ Evaluation (Intraday)
On a 50K, your floor starts at $48,000 and trails your highest balance in real time, including open profit. It never stops trailing during the evaluation, so you always have at most the full drawdown of room below your best balance.
There's no consistency rule to pass this plan, so in principle a single strong day can reach the target.
Daily loss limit: no daily loss limit. List price (50K): $154 a month, with no activation fee.
Funded Futures Family's own notes on this plan:
- FastPass prices shown; Standard costs $89 / $119 / $189 / $259.
- The drawdown trails peak open equity and keeps trailing as the account grows.
Velocity Evaluation
On a 50K, your floor starts at $47,750 and trails your highest balance in real time, including open profit. It never stops trailing during the evaluation, so you always have at most the full drawdown of room below your best balance.
Your best day can be at most 40% of your total profit. On a $4,000 target that makes $1,600 the biggest day that keeps the target where it is. A $2,100 best day would mean you need $5,250 of total profit ($2,100 ÷ 0.4). It also means you can't pass in fewer than 3 days.
Daily loss limit: no daily loss limit. List price (50K): $125 a month, with no activation fee.
Funded Futures Family's own notes on this plan:
- Intraday trailing drawdown on peak open equity; FFF doesn't publish a lock level.
- Optional add-ons: daily payouts (+$29 / $39 / $59 / $69) and an end-of-day drawdown (+$30 / $50 / $80 / $110).
- No daily loss limit.
The math of the race
Every evaluation is a race: the target up before the drawdown down. At 50K on Prime Evaluation, that's $3,000 before $2,000, so you need 1.5 times the drawdown in profit before losing it once, and while the floor is trailing, your room never exceeds $2,000.
One way traders reason about this is a daily risk budget sized against the room they have. With $2,000 of room, a $500 budget survives four full losing days; a larger one reaches the target sooner but survives fewer. Which balance fits depends on your win rate, average win and loss, and trade count. The pass rate calculator runs your numbers against every Funded Futures Family plan, and TradeHarbor's Pass simulator does the same with your real trades.
