DayTraders vs Funded Futures Family, round by round

The five things that decide whether a funded account works for you, in the order you live them.

Round 1Funded Futures Family

Cost to get funded

The price after the discount code, plus any activation fee. Most traders fail at least once, so the cheaper account is also cheaper to try again.

How it is scored: Lower all-in price wins
DayTraders$110
Funded Futures Family$18

Funded Futures Family costs $18 all-in, $92 less than DayTraders at $110. That includes the $5 activation fee DayTraders charges once you pass.

Round 2Tie

Room to trade

The drawdown is the line that ends the account. A line that moves less, with more room under it, means a normal pullback does not blow the account.

How it is scored: Static beats end-of-day beats intraday, then more room wins
DayTraders
End-of-Day
$2,000 of room
Funded Futures Family
End-of-Day
$2,000 of room

Both use an end-of-day drawdown, which only moves when the trading day closes, and both let you lose $2,000 before the account fails.

Round 3Funded Futures Family

Rules that can end it

These are the rules that fail accounts or hold back payouts even when you are in profit. Fewer tripwires, fewer ways to lose the account.

How it is scored: Fewer of these rules wins
RuleDayTradersFunded
Payout buffer$2,600Not listed

DayTraders10 days
Funded Futures Family8 days

Round 5Funded Futures Family

Payday

The most one payout can put in your pocket: the payout cap times your share. A high split means little if the cap is low.
