The Daily Pause
The Daily Pause is FunderPro Futures' most important structural feature. When the daily loss threshold is hit, all positions auto-close and the account freezes until 16:05 CT the next trading day. The challenge does not fail. The account remains active. A bad day costs only time not the challenge.
The Daily Pause converts what would be a hard-breach failure at most competitors into a 24-hour pause. Bad days cost time, not accounts. The challenge remains active. Progress is preserved.
Maximum Drawdown
The EOD max drawdown trails the daily closing balance upward until it reaches the initial account starting balance. At that point it permanently locks and converts to a static floor. The site describes this as 'no trailing drawdown while in profit.'

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Daily Pause rule and why is it different from a hard breach?
The Daily Pause is FunderPro Futures' version of a daily loss limit but with a critical difference from a hard breach. When the daily loss threshold is hit, all open positions automatically close and the account freezes until 16:05 CT the next trading day. The account remains active. The challenge is not failed. Trading resumes the following session with a fresh daily limit calculated from the previous day's 16:00 CT closing balance. This means a bad day costs only time not the account. Hard-breach daily limits at most competitors immediately terminate the challenge, requiring a full reset and fee.
How does the maximum drawdown work at FunderPro Futures?
The maximum drawdown at FunderPro Futures uses EOD (End of Day) trailing. The floor trails upward based on each day's closing balance (16:00 CT). As the account becomes more profitable over sessions, the floor rises. This continues until the trailing floor reaches the initial account starting balance at which point it permanently stops trailing and locks at that level. From that point forward, the drawdown is static. This is described on the site as 'no trailing drawdown while in profit.' For a $100K account with a $3,000 max DD: once the floor locks at $100,000, the account fails only if it drops below $100,000 a permanent, predictable threshold.
How does the tiered reward structure work?
FunderPro Futures uses a tiered reward structure for the first three funded payouts, after which daily payouts unlock. First reward: 60% profit split. Requires 5 profitable trading days with at least $200 in realized profits per day (non-consecutive allowed) plus the 45% consistency rule. Second reward: 70% split, same requirements. Third reward: 80% split, same requirements. Fourth reward and beyond: 80% split, daily payouts on profits above $100, with no 5-day requirement and no consistency rule. Rewards are typically processed within 24 hours on business days with an average 8-hour processing time.
What is the 45% consistency rule and how does it work?
The 45% consistency rule applies in two contexts. During the challenge: if any single trading day's profit exceeds 45% of the profit target, the excess is added to the target at 16:00 CT. The challenge is not failed the target is simply adjusted higher. During the first three funded rewards: no single trading day can exceed 45% of the total reward amount being requested. If it does, trading continues profitably until the ratio drops below 45%. The consistency rule permanently stops applying after the third funded reward from the fourth reward onward, there is no per-day restriction.
What strategies and tools are allowed?
FunderPro Futures explicitly permits: EAs and automated trading (provided they don't exploit system vulnerabilities), martingale strategies (within drawdown and consistency parameters), scalping, copy trading between the trader's own accounts, and VPN/VPS use (excluding restricted countries: Belarus, Cuba, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Russia, and Syria). High-frequency trading is allowed as long as it does not exploit system latency or data-feed discrepancies.
What are the news trading restrictions?
News trading has a 2-minute restriction window. No new positions can be opened or closed within 2 minutes before or after any high-impact news release. Positions that were opened more than 2 minutes before the news release may be held through the event they do not need to be closed. The list of currently restricted high-impact news events is available in the Economic Calendar section of the FunderPro Futures dashboard.
What happens after passing the challenge?
After passing the challenge: a $129 activation fee is required to unlock the funded (Earnings) account this is the same flat fee for all account sizes. Once the funded account is activated, the monthly subscription stops (no recurring fee on funded accounts). Trading begins on the funded account under the same Daily Pause and max drawdown rules as the challenge. The first reward requires 5 profitable days ($200+/day) plus the 45% consistency rule, at a 60% profit split. After 3 verified rewards, daily payouts at 80% become available.
How does the scaling plan work on funded accounts?
Funded account contract limits scale based on realized profits in three tiers, adjusted daily at 16:00 CT EOD. The base tier ($0–$2,499 in profits) applies at the start of the funded phase. The mid-tier activates when profits reach $2,500–$4,999 at end of day, increasing contract limits for the following session. The top tier ($5,000+) activates once profits exceed $5,000, providing the maximum contract limit for the next day. Scaling is automatic and recalculated every day at close no manual application required.
Are there any inactivity rules?
During the challenge phase, there is no inactivity rule because the account is billed monthly the subscription covers holding the account indefinitely. However, in the funded phase where monthly billing ends, a 30 consecutive day inactivity limit applies. If a funded trader does not place at least one trade within any 30-day period, the funded account is terminated.
What are the account sizes and contract specifications?
FunderPro Futures offers four account sizes. The $50K account has 5 Standard/50 Micro contracts, $3,000 profit target, $1,000 Daily Pause, $2,000 max drawdown, and costs $79/month. The $100K account has 10 Standard/100 Micros, $6,000 target, $2,000 Daily Pause, $3,000 max DD, at $149/month. The $150K account has 15 Standard/150 Micros, $9,000 target, $3,000 Daily Pause, $4,500 max DD, at $219/month. The $200K account has 20 Standard/200 Micros, $12,000 target, $4,000 Daily Pause, $6,000 max DD, at $299/month. All share the same $129 activation fee. Standard/Mini and Micro contracts can be mixed: 1 Standard equals 10 Micros.
