This guide covers the published Prime, Premier+ and Velocity rules checked on 27 October 2026, and explains the difference between copying your own trades and automated trading. Your specific account terms still control.

FFF describes its evaluation and funded accounts as simulated. A later move to a professional or live account is a separate stage; “funded” alone should not be read as live brokerage capital. Official FFF FAQ
Start with your exact account
Before comparing numbers, identify the plan name, account size, evaluation or funded stage, purchase date and any purchased options. Keep those details beside your rules. A figure for one model is not a firm-wide limit.
Drawdown means the loss boundary your account must stay above. The published drawdown type tells you how that boundary is calculated. End-of-day describes when a trailing boundary is updated; it does not mean that losses during the session can be ignored.
Prime funded accounts
The Prime funded drawdown guide describes end-of-day trailing based on the highest closing balance. The boundary rises with qualifying closing highs until it reaches the starting balance, where it locks. A payout does not move that boundary down. The listed allowances are $1,000 for a $25,000 account, $2,000 for $50,000, $3,000 for $100,000 and $4,500 for $150,000. These figures describe Prime funded accounts. Prime drawdown rules
Prime payout requirements include a 90/10 split, three trading days between requests, at least $200 profit per qualifying trading day and a 40% consistency limit. The consistency calculation resets after an approved payout. Profit targets, a retained buffer and payout caps also apply; meeting the day count alone is insufficient. Prime payout requirements
Premier+: selected drawdown and purchase date matter
Premier+ publishes end-of-day and intraday drawdown options with different allowances. For example, its $50,000 account lists $1,500 for EOD and $2,000 for intraday. Use the option attached to your account; do not assume a universal switch from intraday evaluation to EOD funding. Premier+ drawdown options
For Premier+ accounts bought on or after 9 September 2026, one trading day may contribute no more than 40% of total realized profit when a payout is requested. The calculation resets after each approved payout. Earlier accounts retain their original funded consistency terms. The guide also states a 90/10 split, a $200 daily-profit requirement and account-size payout caps. Premier+ payout rules and purchase-date change
Velocity: distinguish the standard plan from its add-on
Velocity’s payout guide says the funded stage keeps the intraday drawdown model used in evaluation. Its standard payout requirements include three trading days, at least $200 profit per trading day and a 40% lifetime consistency limit. The daily-payout add-on has different day-count and consistency terms, so the standard rules should not be applied to every Velocity purchase. The stated profit split is 90/10.

Copying your own trades is different from a bot
FFF’s current Prohibited Trading Conduct page expressly allows copying between your own accounts. It prohibits coordinated trading with other people and separately prohibits bots, algorithms, Expert Advisors and automated order entry. Own-account copying permission therefore does not establish approval for every software workflow. Current prohibited-conduct policy
For a PickMyTrade setup, describe the exact source of the trade to FFF: a manual order that is copied, or an indicator/strategy that triggers an order automatically. Obtain confirmation for that arrangement before using it. Product connectivity does not establish firm permission. This article does not approve a PickMyTrade-to-FFF integration or claim that every copier is banned.
What the ten-second rule actually measures
FFF’s micro-scalping policy requires more than 50% of trades and more than 50% of profit to come from positions held longer than ten seconds. Both tests matter. The rule concerns holding duration, not the speed at which a source order reaches a follower account. Micro-scalping policy
Copying an entry does not determine when that position closes. Without evidence about actual holding periods, there is no basis for saying that most copied trades violate this rule.
Payout eligibility is not a payment guarantee
The reviewed plan-specific pages describe a 90/10 split. Payout timing, caps, retained balances and approval conditions should be read for the account you actually hold.
The current conduct page says FFF reviews accounts before payouts. Avoid treating an account balance, a completed day count or a dashboard request as an unconditional promise of payment. FFF’s account-review policy
Frequently asked questions
Does every FFF account use the same drawdown?
No. Identify your plan, stage and selected option. The sections above distinguish Prime funded EOD drawdown, Premier+ choices and Velocity’s intraday model. Do not transfer one plan’s allowance to another.
Does Premier+ have a consistency rule?
Purchase date matters. The current rule for accounts bought on or after 9 September 2026 is described in the Premier+ section above. Earlier accounts retain their original funded consistency terms.
Are all trade copiers banned?
No blanket ban should be inferred from the current wording. Own-account copying is expressly allowed, while automated trading is separately restricted. Get approval for your exact workflow rather than assuming one statement settles every setup.
Does a copied trade automatically break the ten-second rule?
No. Copying describes how the trade is reproduced; holding time describes how long the position stays open. Check the actual trade history against both tests in the micro-scalping policy.
Where should I check a rule that differs from this article?
Use your account agreement and the official help article for your model. If official pages conflict, request written clarification from FFF before relying on the disputed point. This article summarizes selected rules and is not the complete account agreement.
