For Traders Futures is the futures division of For Traders, bringing Forex, Crypto, and Futures onto a single platform with three structurally distinct models. Fast delivers a 100% profit split with every-5-day reward cycles and no daily drawdown limit. Fast PRO operates as a structured completion model with up to five withdrawals and an 80% split. Instant bypasses evaluation entirely, offering immediate funded access with on-demand rewards and an 80% fixed split. All three models use EOD trailing drawdown and carry no activation fee. Instruments span indices, commodities, and bonds.
The firm has paid $9M+ to more than 80,000 traders across 130+ countries since its 2023 launch. Every account includes an AI Coach. A 48-hour reward guarantee backs all payouts: if processing is delayed, the split rises to 100% for that cycle.

Model Deep Dives
Fast: 100% Split, Every-5-Day Rewards
Fast is the flagship 1-step futures evaluation. Profit targets: $1,500 (25K), $3,000 (50K), $5,000 (100K). EOD trailing max drawdown: $1,000 (25K), $2,000 (50K), $2,500 (100K). No daily drawdown limit. Contract limits are fixed and identical across challenge and master. The 40% consistency rule applies during the challenge only, with no consistency requirement on the master. Profit split on master is 100%. Rewards become available every 5 days once eligible. Before the first reward, traders must reach breakeven: profit equal to the max drawdown amount.
Fast's defining combination is 100% split, every-5-day rewards, and no daily drawdown. This is the most trader-favorable structure on any futures prop account. The per-cycle caps ($800 / $1,500 / $2,500) are the primary constraint to plan around.
Fast PRO: Completion Model, Max 5 Withdrawals
Fast PRO is available only on the 50K account. Target: $3,000. EOD trailing max drawdown of $2,000. A $1,000 daily drawdown applies on both the challenge and the master account. Contracts are capped at 3 mini / 9 micro, tighter than standard Fast. The master account permits a maximum of 5 withdrawals: each requires a balance above $52,000, with individual amounts between $250 and $1,200. The 5th and final withdrawal can reach up to $10,000. After this final withdrawal, the account closes as completed and certificates are issued.
Fast PRO is a finite-duration model, not an open-ended account. Advantage: clear structure with a defined endpoint. Maximum theoretical total extraction (4 x $1,200 + $10,000) equals $14,800. Downside: the $1,000 daily drawdown applies on the master account and contract limits are tighter than standard Fast.
Instant: No Evaluation, On-Demand Rewards
The Instant futures account requires no evaluation phase. 5% trailing max drawdown that locks at the starting balance on each payout. 3% daily drawdown based on the previous end-of-day balance. 15% consistency rule. 7 minimum profitable days, each at least 0.5% of the starting balance, are required before the first payout. After that, rewards are on demand with no minimum amount. Fixed 80% split. Available in $25K, $50K, and $100K.

Frequently Asked Questions
What futures models does For Traders offer?
For Traders offers three futures models. Fast is a 1-step evaluation across $25K, $50K, and $100K accounts with a 100% profit split, no daily drawdown, EOD trailing max drawdown, 40% consistency during the challenge only, and every-5-day reward cycles. Fast PRO is a 1-step evaluation for the $50K account only, with an 80% profit split, a $1,000 daily drawdown on both challenge and master, EOD trailing max drawdown, and a completion model structure with a maximum of 5 withdrawals, the final reward reaching up to $10,000, after which the account is marked as completed and certificates are issued. Instant is a no-evaluation account across $25K, $50K, and $100K with no profit target, 5% trailing max drawdown (locks at starting balance on payout), 3% daily drawdown, 15% consistency rule, and on-demand rewards.
What is the Fast futures 100% profit split and how does it work?
The Fast futures model gives funded traders 100% of all profits generated on the master account. There is no firm share. This is the highest profit split available on any For Traders futures model and one of the highest in the futures prop space. The 100% split applies from the first eligible reward onward. Rewards can be requested every 5 days once eligibility criteria are met: 5 profitable trading days (with minimum daily profit thresholds of $100 for 25K, $150 for 50K, $200 for 100K) and the breakeven requirement (profits must equal or exceed the max drawdown amount before the first reward).
What is the breakeven requirement on the Fast futures master account?
Before the first reward on a Fast futures master account, traders must earn profits equal to the starting max drawdown amount. For the 25K account, this means $1,250 in profit. For the 50K account, $2,000. For the 100K account, $2,500. This ensures the EOD trailing drawdown has been partially covered by profits before any withdrawal occurs. After meeting the breakeven requirement and completing 5 profitable trading days, the first reward can be requested. Withdrawing 100% of profits at once can cause a hard breach due to the trailing drawdown; partial withdrawals are recommended.
How does the Fast PRO futures completion model work?
Fast PRO futures is a structured completion model rather than an open-ended funded account. After passing the 1-step evaluation ($3,000 profit target on a $50K account), the master account allows a maximum of 5 withdrawals. Each withdrawal must occur when the balance exceeds $52,000, with individual reward amounts ranging from $250 to $1,200. The 5th and final withdrawal can be up to $10,000. After this final withdrawal, the account is closed and marked as completed and certificates are issued. This structure suits traders who want a defined endpoint and structured reward milestones rather than an ongoing funded account.
What is the EOD trailing drawdown on For Traders futures accounts?
EOD stands for End of Day. The trailing drawdown on futures accounts at For Traders updates once per trading session at session close, based on the end-of-day balance. Intraday equity spikes from open positions do not raise the trailing floor during the session; only the closing balance matters. This differs from intraday trailing drawdown models where any equity peak immediately raises the floor. On Instant accounts, the trailing drawdown locks at the starting balance when a payout is requested, converting it to a static floor thereafter.
What are the news trading restrictions on futures accounts?
For all futures models, trading is restricted within a 2-minute window around high-impact news events. No new positions can be opened or closed within 2 minutes before or after any high-impact news release. Positions opened before the restriction window may be held through the event. This applies to both the challenge phase and the master account on all three futures models. The list of currently restricted events is available in the economic calendar within the For Traders dashboard.
How does the Instant futures consistency rule work?
On the Instant futures account, the consistency rule requires that no single profitable trading day accounts for more than 15% of total accumulated profits. If one day exceeds 15%, the trader must continue trading profitably until the ratio drops below 15% before a payout can be requested. The rule is calculated continuously, not just at payout time. For example: if total profits are $1,000 and the best single day produced $200 (20%), trading must continue until total profits exceed $1,333, at which point the $200 represents less than 15%. Only once this threshold is met can a payout be requested.
What are the payout caps on futures accounts?
Fast futures payout caps per cycle: $800 (25K account), $1,500 (50K account), $2,500 (100K account). These caps apply per 5-day reward cycle. Fast PRO has per-reward caps of $250 to $1,200 for rewards 1 through 4, and up to $10,000 for the final 5th reward. Instant futures has on-demand rewards with no minimum amount stated; payouts can be requested whenever eligibility is met. The 48-hour processing guarantee applies to all futures reward types.
Are there any inactivity rules on futures accounts?
During the futures challenge phase, accounts are marked inactive after 7 consecutive days without meaningful trading activity. On the futures master account, the inactivity threshold is 14 consecutive days. Meaningful trading activity means trades that reflect a genuine strategy. Inactivity days are counted from when a position is closed, not when it is opened; only closing a trade resets the inactivity timer.
What position size limits apply on futures accounts?
Position limits are fixed and do not change between the challenge and master account phases. Fast and Instant (25K): 2 mini contracts or 20 micro contracts. Fast and Instant (50K): 4 mini contracts or 40 micro contracts. Fast and Instant (100K): 6 mini contracts or 60 micro contracts. Fast PRO (50K only): 3 mini contracts or 9 micro contracts, tighter than standard Fast. These limits apply at all times. Positions can use a mix of standard/mini and micro contracts within the defined limits.
