Funded Futures Family

Unfortunately, I had previously given them a 5 star review prematurely. I thought they were different from the other scamy prop firms...but they are not. They look for every reason to deny payouts. I recently was denied because while waiting on a payout in one account, i failed to take a trade of 10 second or more for a period of seven days. This rule is buried in their literature. Not to mention it was a week the market was only open 3 days on a holiday week. The worst part, they wipe out all your trading days you did have (had 6 since the one week period i didnt take a trade), so now have to start again at zero with 7 more trading days of 200$ or more.... A prop firm should be about your profits... not 200 rules to prevent paying anyone... make it about profits and move traders to live if they are costing you money...simple. That said, they are still better than some out there... But not leading anything.

I’m an experienced futures prop firm trader and approached Futures Funded Family with realistic expectations around risk, drawdowns, and payouts. Unfortunately, my experience did not align with how this firm presents itself publicly. Despite frequently emphasizing that they are flexible and trader-first, the actual structure and decision-making were rigid and firm-centric. While working toward my next payout, I was on day 5 of the required 7 qualifying days of $200+ when I was notified that I would be moved to their live account. This transition required forfeiting a $15,000 buffer that had already been built, with no option to complete the remaining two days and request another payout. Upon moving to live, I was reset to 5 micro contracts and informed that I would need to generate $4,000 in profit just to scale to one mini contract. Given my performance, I asked whether there was any alternative structure or flexibility. None was offered. The response was effectively take it or leave it. So I forfeited the offer. Over time, after two successful payouts and generating approximately $20,000 in total profits, I was only able to retain about $4,000 personally. Between buffers, forced transitions, scaling constraints, and payout limitations, the economics strongly favor the firm. Clear warning to other traders: if you have real market experience and understand how capital efficiency and scaling should work, this firm is not aligned with your interests. The branding suggests flexibility and trader advocacy, but the execution does not support that narrative. Based on my experience, I do not recommend using this firm.

I had high hopes for FFF I left a very favorable review previously and, regrettably, I am now forced to write a negative one. BEWARE OF RECENT RULES UPDATES pertaining to SIM funded profits and LIVE account transitions. In my four S2F accounts, I was (on average) just ~$220 away from achieving my second payout. With two trading days to go, my accounts were frozen with an aggregate $24K PROFIT since I was “offered a path to LIVE.” Traders can no longer expect to advance through the various S2F phases (1-3+ as advertised), despite the overall $100K in SIM profits cap, given a new payout trigger. It’s also worth noting SIM profits are NOT moved into a LIVE account like some other prop firms. Essentially these are held hostage during the cooldown period described below. I could have lived with this had I been able to receive my Phase 2 payout. This makes me question: was the LIVE transition offer in part to avoid a second payout of ~$10K? Overall, I declined the LIVE transition since (i) I’m a relatively new trader and (ii) I personally believe I need more practice before paying for LIVE data and potentially blowing a LIVE account. To top it all off, declining the LIVE transition forces one into a lengthy 60-day cooldown period (Note: trading days, i.e., months) before any SIM funded accounts are unfrozen. Just a friendly reminder to all traders to review FFF’s FAQs on a periodic basis. FFF – and other prop firms – amend these in small ways such as changing the $100,000 S2F profit schedule from 1) $6,000, 2) $3,000, 3) $3,000, and 4) $2,500 to 1) $6,000, 2) $3,000, 3) $3,000, and 4) $3,000. Changes like these may seem minor, but they are not very customer/trader friendly. Amended rules – as well as thousands of dollars in frozen profit that a trader anticipates being able to access given FFF’s overall $100K cap – do not feel great after days of trading in a violent market. Perhaps this is driven by a liquidity issue or something else like corporate greed. Regardless, I initially had very high hopes for FFF given their risk mitigation tools, dashboard, and customer service (Note: the second star in this review is for Ash – she’s a fantastic support agent!). Now I’m questioning if this prop firm is worth having a long-term relationship with and I find it hard to recommend this prop firm going forward given their policy changes, slow communication with the Risk department/LIVE team, and cooldown period which is pretty draconian. Who knows what the rules will be in a few months upon the cessation of my cooldown period. I believe all traders revert to Phase 1 after the cooldown, even though I was close to passing Phase 2, which would require $6K profit in all four accounts for payout eligibility. I guess I’ll have an aggregate $48K in SIM profits at that point making this process feel like a doom loop… Will happily update this review after my SIM accounts are unfrozen and I'm able to tap into SIM profits like other prop firms.

My Experience with FFF (October 2025) On the first day of my funded account, a platform glitch briefly allowed my positions to exceed the maximum contract limit (GC + NQ). I immediately contacted support, and “Sam” confirmed via email that it was a system issue. He assured me my account was fine and that I could continue trading. After meeting all payout requirements (profit days, consistency, overall profit) and submitting my request, four days later it was denied for a “scaling plan violation” that supposedly occurred on day one — the same day as the confirmed system glitch. My accounts were then closed. I asked for reasonable alternatives (such as restarting a new cycle or a reset), but was told the decision was final. Meanwhile, my dashboard still showed the account as Active and the withdrawal status as Pending all the way through the next payout date. In other words, they simply refused to pay. This was inconsistent with FFF’s own Discord announcement on September 11, 2025, which stated that scaling was automated — meaning exceeding limits shouldn’t be possible — and that payouts would no longer be denied for scaling issues. Support later admitted there was a technical issue with metals that could bypass the limit, yet the payout denial remained. Separately, earlier this year I was allowed to open six funded accounts. Later, two were closed because “only four are allowed,” with no refund provided. In my view, FFF’s rules and communications were inconsistent and created unnecessary payout risk. I recommend traders consider firms with clearer rule enforcement and more transparent processes. I can provide email and Discord screenshots to verify everything mentioned above. Update: FFF’s final “solution” was to reset my three weeks of profit — a total of $45,000. Extremely disappointing and unreasonable. ⭐ 2-star review: I’m giving two stars only because one-star reviews often get removed, but my experience deserves even less.

I had previously left a review and I was praising customer service but now I have to leave this poor review because I have had to constantly reach out to them for this one particular issue. I am consistently being blocked from trading and having to get on their chat. Now in the beginning as frustrating it was they were available in just a few minutes of wait time. Now they have a new system where it takes you to all of their information and possible or common issues you could run into. So it takes you to basically to an information page. You have to click on an unhappy face to get to a live chat and sometimes you get the live chat and other times nothing happens. I really was enjoying this company but there are so many other prop firm companies that communicate better. I don't necessarily mind being sent to an info page because most prop firms do that. Thought this one was better at first because they didn't operate like everyone else. The biggest problem I am having is why the same issue continues to occur and I have to constantly reach out. Now that they have implemented a new format for answering questions its horrible. I don't want to have to reach out all the time and their new system for a chat is not really a chat. You have to go through all other links to try and figure out how to reach someone. I think this will be my last account purchased with them.
