Redline Futures Funding offers three account styles. Gas uses trailing drawdown in the funded phase with no consistency rule. Electric uses EOD drawdown in the funded phase with a 30% consistency rule. Diesel is an instant funded account that follows Electric rules. Gas and Electric evaluations are completely identical; the difference only appears in the funded phase. Key features include no daily loss limit on any account, overnight and weekend holds permitted, no minimum trading days required to pass the evaluation, 29 CME instruments (including interest rates, energy, and metals), an AI compliance evaluator that runs automatically at every payout, and an optional Powerup system to adjust specific rules per account.

Gas and Electric evaluations are identical. After passing, Gas funded accounts use trailing drawdown that keeps rising with no consistency rule, full 5 minis/50 micros on all sizes, and a 30% MAE limit. Electric funded accounts use EOD drawdown (floor only moves at session close), a 30% consistency rule, 3 minis/30 micros on $25K and $50K sizes, and a 50% MAE limit. Choose based on how you trade when funded, not on the evaluation.

Trading day definition: one CME session (6pm ET prior day to 5pm ET next day), not a calendar day. A trade placed at 9pm Monday counts in the Tuesday session. Counts update after each session closes at 5pm ET.
AI Compliance Evaluator: 6 Automatic Rules
The AI compliance evaluator runs automatically at every payout request, applying 6 conduct rules and either approving or denying the payout, with the reason emailed either way. A denial does not close the account. The next payout cycle begins immediately after a denial.
| Rule | Deny Trigger | Powerup Waiver |
|---|---|---|
| Rule 1: MAE (Single-Trade Risk) | Gas: deny if MAE is 30% or more of trailing drawdown. Electric/Diesel: deny if MAE is 50% or more. | Max Adverse Excursion Waiver ($300) |
| Rule 2: Doubling Down | 5+ hard doublings per cycle: deny. 2 to 4 with no high MAE: warning (repeat = deny). Warnings tracked across all funded accounts. | Doubling-Down Waiver ($300) |
| Rule 3: Event Pre-positioning | 4+ instances of large trades within 5 seconds of news (FOMC/CPI/NFP etc), held less than 5 seconds: deny/terminate. 1 to 3 instances: review. | Scheduled-Event Waiver ($400) |
| Rule 4: Over-trading / Tilt | Single day: trade count at least 4x the daily median AND at least 4 consecutive losses: deny. | Over-Trading Waiver ($300) |
| Rule 5: Profit Concentration | 1 trade at 75% or more of gross cycle winnings: deny. Top 2 trades at 90% or more: deny (standalone denial). | Profit-Concentration Waiver ($400) |
| Rule 6: Bot-like Execution | 5+ trades with hold of 1 second or less and P&L of $200 or more per cycle: deny/terminate. | Automation Waiver ($1,000) |
Conduct warnings are tracked per trader, not per account. A warning on one funded account applies across all of your funded accounts. Repeating a warned behavior on any account, not just the one that received the warning, triggers an automatic denial.
Powerup System: Optional Add-Ons
Powerups are optional paid add-ons that adjust one specific rule on an individual account. Conduct waivers are single-use: each one stands down one payout-conduct rule for the next payout, then is spent. Never required to trade, pass, or get paid. Not available on Diesel (instant-funded) accounts.
| Powerup | Cost | Rarity | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Max Adverse Excursion Waiver | $300 | Common | Single-use (1 payout) | Allows single trades to swing deeply without triggering the MAE payout flag |
| Doubling-Down Waiver | $300 | Common | Single-use (1 payout) | Allows adding to positions freely without triggering the doubling-down flag |
| Over-Trading Waiver | $300 | Common | Single-use (1 payout) | High-volume or high-frequency days without triggering the over-trading flag |
| Scheduled-Event Waiver | $400 | Rare | Single-use (1 payout) | Trade news events (CPI, FOMC, NFP) without the event pre-positioning flag |
| Profit-Concentration Waiver | $400 | Rare | Single-use (1 payout) | Concentrated profitable run without triggering the profit-concentration flag |
| Automation Waiver | $1,000 | Legendary | Ongoing | Enables automated and algorithmic execution on the account |
| Balance Boost | $10 per $100 added | Mythic | Repeatable | Add real funds to balance while in drawdown to climb back to starting line |
| Profit Bonus | +10% on winning trades | Mythic | Active on account | 10% of winning trade profit auto-added to balance live |

Verdict
Redline Futures Funding is an innovative futures prop firm with a distinctive proposition: three account styles where Gas and Electric evaluations are completely identical, letting traders choose based solely on their funded-phase preferences. No daily loss limit, overnight and weekend holds, and no minimum trading days to pass evaluation position it firmly on the trader-freedom side. The AI compliance evaluator with 6 transparent rules and the optional Powerup system are two structurally unique innovations in the space. The 29-instrument coverage including interest rates, energy, and precious metals beyond gold and silver is among the broadest of any reviewed futures prop firm.
Recommended: Electric $50K ($95 one-time) for the most popular path with EOD funded drawdown. Gas $50K ($119 one-time) for full 5 minis/50 micros in the funded phase and no consistency rule. Diesel $50K ($327 one-time) for instant funded access without evaluation. Verify current pricing at redlinefuturesfunding.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the three account styles at Redline Futures Funding?
Redline offers three account styles. Gas and Electric share an identical evaluation phase: same 5.5% profit targets, same trailing drawdown, same 5 minis/50 micros contract limit, no daily loss limit, and no consistency rule to pass. The difference appears only once funded. Gas funded accounts use a trailing drawdown (floor keeps rising with profits), no consistency rule, full 5 minis/50 micros on all sizes, and a 30% MAE limit. Electric funded accounts use EOD drawdown (floor updates only at session close), a 30% consistency rule, fewer contracts on smaller sizes (3 minis/30 micros on $25K and $50K), and a 50% MAE limit. Diesel is an instant-funded option with no evaluation required that follows Electric rules from the start. Diesel accounts are not eligible for Powerups.
How does the 25-day evaluation period work?
Every evaluation account at Redline has a 25-day lifespan from purchase. If the profit target is not reached within those 25 days, the account deactivates. A reset is available at a reduced fee within 72 hours of failure on Electric accounts. There is no minimum number of trading days required to pass; if the profit target is hit on day 1, the evaluation is passed. Funded accounts have no time limit once activated. Diesel accounts skip the evaluation entirely and have no time limit.
What are the payout requirements?
To request a payout, all of the following must be met: 8 trading days completed (measured by CME session, not calendar day), 6 winning days with net P&L of at least $130 each (also by CME session), a minimum payout request of $500, and sufficient accumulated profit to cover the request at up to 50% of the accumulated amount. Per-cycle caps by account size are $1,000 (25K), $1,500 (50K), $2,000 (100K), and $2,500 (150K) gross. The profit split is 90% to the trader for accounts funded on or after June 7, 2026. The AI compliance evaluator then runs automatically before the payout is approved or denied.
What is the AI compliance evaluator and what does it check?
The AI compliance evaluator is an automatic system that runs deterministic math against every payout request. It checks six conduct rules and approves or denies the payout automatically, emailing the reason either way. Rule 1 (MAE): a single trade's worst unrealized drawdown cannot exceed 30% of the drawdown on Gas accounts, or 50% on Electric/Diesel. Rule 2 (Doubling Down): five or more hard doublings in a cycle deny the payout; earlier offenses generate warnings that apply across all of a trader's funded accounts. Rule 3 (Event Pre-positioning): large trades placed within 5 seconds of major news releases held for less than 5 seconds. Rule 4 (Over-trading/Tilt): a single session where trade count exceeds 4 times the daily median and 4 or more consecutive losing trades occur. Rule 5 (Profit Concentration): a standalone denial if one trade carries 75% or more of gross cycle winnings, or the top two trades carry 90% or more combined. Rule 6 (Bot-like execution): trades opened and closed within one second with at least $200 profit per cycle.
What is the Powerup system?
Powerups are optional paid add-ons that modify specific rules on individual accounts. They are never required to trade, pass an evaluation, or receive a payout. Conduct waiver Powerups are single-use: each one stands down one specific payout-conduct rule on the next payout, then is spent. Available Powerups include Max Adverse Excursion Waiver ($300, waives Rule 1), Doubling-Down Waiver ($300, waives Rule 2), Over-Trading Waiver ($300, waives Rule 4), Scheduled-Event Waiver ($400, waives Rule 3), Profit-Concentration Waiver ($400, waives Rule 5), and Automation Waiver ($1,000, enables algorithmic execution under Rule 6). Balance Boost and Profit Bonus add to account balance rather than waiving conduct rules. Powerups are available only on active evaluation and funded accounts; Diesel accounts are not eligible.
What does the 30% consistency rule mean on Electric and Diesel funded accounts?
The 30% consistency rule on Electric and Diesel funded accounts means no single CME trading session's net profit can account for more than 30% of total profits across the current payout cycle. If one session exceeds 30%, the AI compliance evaluator will flag it and deny the payout. To resolve it, the trader must continue adding profitable sessions until the concentration drops below 30%. This rule applies at payout time, not as a pass/fail criterion during the trading period. Gas funded accounts have no consistency rule at any stage.
Can I trade news events like CPI, FOMC, and NFP?
News trading is subject to Rule 3 (Event Pre-positioning) on all funded accounts. The rule flags trades opened within 5 seconds before or after a major scheduled release (including FOMC, CPI, PPI, NFP, jobless claims, PCE, GDP, ISM, JOLTS, Treasury auctions, and standard US 8:30/9:00/9:30/10:00 ET release windows) that are also held for less than 5 seconds using 3 or more full contracts. Four or more such instances in a payout cycle can deny the payout or result in account termination. The Scheduled-Event Waiver ($400 Powerup, single-use) removes this rule for one payout. Positions held through news are not flagged; the rule targets rapid in-and-out trades around scheduled releases specifically.
What instruments can I trade at Redline Futures Funding?
Redline offers 29 CME futures instruments across four categories. Equity Index: ES, MES, NQ, MNQ, RTY, M2K, YM, MYM. Energy: CL, MCL, QM, NG, QG, RB, HO. Metals: GC, MGC, SI, SIL, HG, MHG, PL, PA. Interest Rates: ZN, TN, ZB, UB, ZF, ZT. The position cap is 5 mini or 50 micro contracts per side across the account at any given moment.
How many funded accounts can I have and what is the inactivity rule?
Redline allows a maximum of 5 active funded accounts per trader at any one time. Evaluation accounts in progress do not count toward this limit. All accounts must be under the same verified identity. Hedging between accounts is strictly prohibited. The inactivity rule requires at least one trade every 14 consecutive days on each account; simply logging in or loading a chart does not count. An account with no trade placed for 14 consecutive days is subject to forfeiture at Redline's discretion. This applies to both evaluation and funded accounts.
What is the difference between Gas and Electric evaluations?
The evaluations are completely identical. Both use the same 5.5% profit targets ($1,375/$2,750/$5,500/$8,250 by size), the same trailing drawdown amounts ($1,000/$2,000/$3,500/$5,000), the same 5 mini/50 micro contract limit, no daily loss limit, no consistency rule to pass, overnight and weekend holds permitted, no minimum trading days, and a 25-day evaluation period. The only difference is in the funded phase: Gas funded uses trailing drawdown with no consistency rule and full 5 mini/50 micro contracts for all sizes. Electric funded uses EOD drawdown with a 30% consistency rule and 3 mini/30 micro contracts on the $25K and $50K sizes.
