Short answer: FFF currently sells Velocity, Premier+, Prime and Straight to Funded in $25K, $50K, $100K and $150K sizes. The plans do not share one drawdown, consistency or payout rule. Use the exact plan and stage below.

Which FFF plan fits which trader?

PlanBest fitMain gateFunded payout cadence
VelocityTraders comfortable with intraday trailing drawdownThree days and 40% lifetime consistency; Daily Add-On removes both but keeps a profit requirementThree days, or daily with add-on
Premier+Traders who want no funded consistency or DLLChoose EOD or intraday evaluation; Standard consistency text conflictsFive qualifying days
PrimeOne-day evaluation with EOD drawdownFunded buffer plus disputed 40% cycle/lifetime wordingThree trading days
Straight to FundedExperienced traders who want no evaluationSeven $200-profit days and 25% consistencySeven qualifying days

How much do the plans cost?

The public selector currently starts at $79 per month for Velocity, $89 per month for Premier+ Intraday Standard, $119 per month for Premier+ EOD Standard, $129 per month for Prime Standard, and $329 one time for Straight to Funded. FastPass, Max-position upgrades, account size and the usage-based FFF code change the total. The final checkout is the price owner.

Does Premier+ have a consistency rule?

The funded account article says no consistency rule. The evaluation article also says Premier+ has no consistency, but the public purchase selector adds a 50% consistency rule when Standard instead of FastPass is selected. That is an unresolved official conflict. Confirm the version attached to the exact purchase before trading.

How does Prime consistency work?

The Prime payout article first says the 40% calculation applies to the specific payout cycle and resets after approval. Its Important Notes then call it lifetime consistency. Plan around the stricter lifetime interpretation unless FFF gives a written account-specific clarification.

Is micro-scalping allowed?

Yes, but the current policy is quantitative: more than 50% of trades and more than 50% of total profits must come from positions held longer than 10 seconds. A violation can lead to payout denial, profit reversion or account closure.

Can I use a bot or algorithm?

No. FFF prohibits bots and algorithmic trading. The policy says the firm monitors high-frequency repetition, non-human timing and coordinated activity that would be difficult to reproduce manually.

Can I trade news and hold overnight?

FFF permits Tier 1 news trading and publishes no pre- or post-news flattening window. Positions may be held overnight, but all trades must be closed by 4:15 PM Eastern and may reopen at 6:00 PM Eastern. The platform says it will auto-close a forgotten position at 4:15 PM without breaching the account.

What is the inactivity rule?

Each account needs at least one trade per Monday-to-Friday trading week, held for at least 10 seconds. A full inactive trading week can close the account permanently. Contact support before a planned break.

How do the Professional and Live stages work?

The Professional Stage article requires either three approved simulated payouts or $10,000 in approved simulated payouts before risk review. Professional accounts use an 80/20 split and EOP drawdown. A later Live transition uses Rithmic and remains individually reviewed. FFF's homepage and detailed Live article do not use identical transition wording, so a milestone is eligibility for review, not guaranteed migration.

What is a PCA?

A Performance Check Account is a discretionary Professional Stage risk review. The published targets are $10,000 realized profit, a 1.5 profit factor, ten $200 winning days and no rule violation. Each Professional account is eligible for one PCA, and the outcome remains at Risk Management's discretion.

Which platforms are supported?

NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView through Tradovate and WealthCharts are documented for retail plans. The later Live Market Execution environment uses Rithmic, and the Live article says market data is not included.

Which countries are restricted?

FFF maintains a 42-entry country and region list that was updated on 28 August 2026. It also warns that some unlisted countries may access simulated accounts but remain unable to transition to live. Check eligibility before purchase and again before a live move.

Have I personally used FFF?

Yes. I have traded FFF extensively and received payouts. That statement is firm-level; it does not claim plan-by-plan coverage.

The bottom line
