My Funded Futures Journal: Rapid, Builder, Pro, Studio

Builder

Sold at 25K, 50K, 100K and 150K, plus a 50K Add-On that is cheaper because its max loss limit is tighter ($1,500 instead of $2,000). End-of-day trailing drawdown in both stages and the only MFFU plan with a daily loss limit, a soft pause of $600 to $2,500 by size that stops trading for the day without failing the account. No consistency rule in the evaluation and a 1-day minimum; once funded, payouts every 48 hours with a 50% consistency rule and a per-cycle cap of $1,000 to $4,500.

Rapid and Rapid EOD

Rapid has the shortest wait to a first payout and a 90/10 split. Its evaluation trails end of day with a 50% consistency rule, but the sim funded account trails INTRADAY, following your equity high including open profit. Rapid EOD (25K and 50K) keeps end-of-day trailing in both stages, with a 30% evaluation consistency rule and a 4-day minimum. Neither has a daily loss limit.

Pro and Pro One Day

Pro (50K, 100K, 150K) has an evaluation with a 50% consistency rule, end-of-day trailing drawdown and no daily loss limit. Once funded there is no consistency rule; payouts start 14 calendar days after your first trade, with a $1,000 minimum, no per-payout cap and a $100,000 lifetime maximum per user. Pro One Day is a 50K Pro bought with an add-on: a $4,000 target and no evaluation consistency rule, so it can pass in one day.

Studio

A limited-time pair of small accounts: Studio #001 (10K) and #002 (20K). The max loss limit is STATIC, $500 or $1,000, in the evaluation and sim funded stages. Micros only (10 or 20), no daily loss limit, no consistency rule, no minimum days. The sim funded account starts at a $0 balance and caps daily profit at $5,000 or $10,000.

MFFU uses three drawdown models, by plan. Builder, Pro, Pro One Day and Rapid EOD trail end of day in both stages: the max-loss line recalculates only at the close, from your end-of-day balance, so a mid-session high does not move it. Rapid trails end of day in the evaluation and intraday once funded. Studio's limit is static and never moves.

Daily loss limit

Only Builder has one: $600 on 25K, $1,000 on 50K, $1,750 on 100K and $2,500 on 150K, in both stages. It is a soft pause. Reaching it stops trading for the rest of the day but does not fail the account. The max loss limit is the rule that fails an account.

Where the line stops

Some MFFU lines stop trailing. On Builder 25K the line stops once it reaches $100 above the starting balance. On Pro, after your first payout, the line moves to the starting balance plus $100 and stays there. Until a line stops, every green close walks it up behind you, so profit below the line is not banked.

Consistency by plan

Rapid and Pro evaluations use a 50% rule and Rapid EOD 30%, all in the evaluation only: no single day may exceed that share of total profit. Exceeding it does not fail the account; you trade more days until the ratio comes down. Builder is the reverse, with none in the evaluation and 50% at the payout stage. Pro One Day and Studio have none.

MFFU accounts trade through Tradovate. The setup is essentially the standard Tradovate workflow with the addition of the MFFU prop firm template:

1. Create a TradersForge account (free tier works for testing; Pro from $10/mo unlocks live drawdown tracking).
2. In Import & Connect, choose Connect Tradovate and authorize. Read-only — no order placement, no withdrawals.
3. Navigate to Prop Firms → Add Account. Select "My Funded Futures" → choose your specific plan (Rapid, Rapid EOD, Builder, Pro, Pro One Day or Studio) → choose your account size.
4. Link the Tradovate account to the MFFU prop firm account. Trades route automatically going forward.
5. For backfill: Tradovate Performance.csv covers trades; Cash History.csv covers exact fees. Drop both for a complete picture.
6. Optional: enable drawdown alerts — TradersForge will notify you when the MFFU account approaches its floor or, on Builder, its daily loss limit.
7. When you pass, change the account's phase to Funded. On Rapid that switches the drawdown to intraday trailing, and on several plans it changes the consistency rule.

Once an MFFU evaluation is passed, the focus shifts from "hit the target" to "stay payout-eligible." The payout rules differ by plan, so the journaling rhythm does too:

• Builder: payouts every 48 hours, each capped at $1,000 to $4,500 by size, with a 50% consistency rule that resets after each approved payout. Watch your best day's share of profit in the cycle.
• Pro: the first payout comes 14 calendar days after your first trade, once the buffer is cleared, with a $1,000 minimum and no per-payout cap. A $100,000 lifetime maximum per user applies.
• Rapid and Rapid EOD: the shortest wait to a first payout and a 90/10 split. On Rapid, remember that the funded line trails intraday, so open profit you give back still raised it.
• Studio: request your net profit any time once flat, $250 minimum, 80/20. Profit above the daily cap ($5,000 or $10,000) is forfeited that day.
• Log each payout on the funded account in TradersForge, and compare per-day expectancy on funded vs. evaluation. A common pattern: traders perform worse once funded because the stakes feel higher.

MFFU permits running multiple accounts at once, with limits that vary by plan (Studio allows one at a time). The workflow:

1. Connect each Tradovate account separately to TradersForge — unlimited NinjaTrader/Tradovate connections on all paid plans.
2. Link each Tradovate to its corresponding MFFU template. Different accounts can be on different MFFU plans (some Builder, some Pro, etc.).
3. Use the dashboard multi-account view to see all MFFU accounts side-by-side: distance to the floor, daily loss budget where the plan has one, profit target and consistency.
4. Set drawdown alerts globally — receive notifications when ANY account approaches its trailing floor.
5. Per-account analytics surface which account you're trading worst (often newer accounts because of unfamiliarity, or smaller accounts because of sizing-comfort effects).

Plan-specific rule variations

MFFU's plans differ in more than size: Rapid and Rapid EOD share targets but not drawdown models once funded, Builder's 50K Add-On has a tighter limit than the Default, and Studio is static. A journal that uses generic "MFFU" rules instead of plan-specific math will be wrong about your headroom. Pick the exact template that matches your plan.

Rapid changes drawdown model at funding

A Rapid evaluation trails end of day, so traders get used to intraday swings not moving the line. Once funded, the line follows your intraday equity high, including open profit. Update the account's phase when you pass so your headroom numbers switch with it.

Tradovate fees on MFFU accounts

MFFU funded accounts deduct similar Tradovate-passed-through fees as direct retail accounts (~$1.12 round-trip per micro contract). Performance.csv shows gross P&L; Cash History.csv shows the exact fees. Importing both gives precise net P&L tracking.

Studio balances start at $0 once funded

A Studio sim funded account starts at a $0 balance, with the floor at -$500 or -$1,000. TradersForge measures the floor from the account size, so the distance to it is right even though the balance label differs from MFFU's dashboard.
