Overview

STEADY is FFN's premium \"safe and steady\" funded product and the replacement for Express MAX. It is a 2-day evaluation with EOD trailing drawdown, no daily loss limit, and a 52% consistency rule on the evaluation only (there is no consistency rule on the funded phase).

Trader journey: Buy eval → hit the profit target across at least 2 winning days without breaching the trailing drawdown → get funded (sim) → build a buffer → withdraw profit above the buffer (up to the cap) each cycle → your 4th payout request on one account, or your 10th payout request since your last Promotion Review (counting all of your accounts) triggers a Promotion Review to the FFN Institution.

STEADY runs tighter drawdowns than every other FFN account: the max drawdown above ($1,200 / $2,000 / $3,200 / $4,700 / $5,500) applies to the evaluation and carries through to the funded account as the buffer.

Reach the profit target across at least 2 winning days without breaching the EOD trailing drawdown. With no daily loss limit, intraday swings don't fail the account, only the EOD trailing balance matters. If you hit your drawdown at any point at all this will result in a failed account. The 52% consistency rule caps how much of total eval profit can come from a single day.

A winning day requires hitting the min daily profit for the size ($100 / $150 / $200 / $250 / $350); a green day below the minimum does not count.

How EOD Trailing Works

The drawdown trails the end-of-day balance upward as profit grows, then locks at the starting balance + $100 once reached, and never moves down again.

Example: A funded 50K account locks its trailing drawdown at $50,100: from then on the trader can never be drawn below $50,100, no matter how high the balance climbs.

The buffer is the key mechanic: the trader must first grow the account above its buffer (equal to the max-drawdown amount). Only profit above the buffer is withdrawable. Each payout cycle is 5 winning days; the trader can then withdraw profit above the buffer, up to the cap for that size. The cap steps up on the 4th payout and beyond. Accounts purchased before October 22, 2026 and not reset since keep the payout caps they were purchased with (Article 5.3). A Promotion Review to the FFN Institution is triggered by your 4th payout request on one account, or your 10th payout request since your last Promotion Review (counting all of your accounts); see Article 5.2. When a Promotion Review is triggered, your Sim Funded accounts are closed and your evaluations stay open.

Net Rule (STEADY Funded Accounts Only)

Each payout requires the account balance to climb above the balance left after the previous payout. For example, if a withdrawal leaves the account at $55,000, the trader must reach at least $55,001 before requesting the next payout.

A trader cannot take a loss and then post a single minimum winning day to qualify: the balance must be net positive above the post-payout level. This net rule applies to all STEADY funded accounts.

Global cap: Total withdrawals across all of a trader's accounts are capped at $10,000 per payout, overriding the per-account caps.

Promotion to the FFN Institution

Sim Funded accounts lead to the FFN Institution, FFN's live trading program, through a Promotion Review (Articles 4.3 and 5.2):
