Funded Futures Network vs IQ Capital, round by round

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

Round 1Funded Futures Network

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
Funded Futures Network$89
IQ Capital$101

Funded Futures Network costs $89 all-in, $12 less than IQ Capital at $101.

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
Funded Futures Network
End-of-Day
$2,000 of room
IQ Capital
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 3IQ Capital

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

IQ Capital has 2 of these rules. Funded Futures Network adds a daily loss limit and a payout buffer.

Round 4Funded Futures Network

Days from buying the account to asking for your first payout, if everything goes right.

How it is scored: Fewer days wins
Funded Futures Network5 days
IQ Capital6 days

Round 5IQ Capital

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.

Funded Futures Network$80080% split
IQ Capital$1,60080% split
