MyFundedFutures Eval Rules: Static Drawdown, Contract Sizing & Pine Script Automation
MyFundedFutures runs one of the cleanest rule sets an algo trader can ask for — static drawdown, no consistency rule, and automation allowed on both the evaluation and the funded account. A fixed-risk Pine Script fits this structure better than almost anywhere else in the space.
MFFU evaluation rules at a glance
| Account | Profit Target | Max Drawdown (Static) | Daily Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50k | $3,000 | $2,000 | $1,250 |
| 100k | $6,000 | $3,000 | $2,000 |
| 150k | $9,000 | $4,500 | $3,000 |
Drawdown type
Static
Fixed at account opening — explicitly and repeatedly stated as never trailing.
Daily loss limit
$1,250 (50k) · $2,000 (100k) · $3,000 (150k).
Consistency rule
None — explicit, no cap on single-day contribution.
Min trading days
No minimum
None required — explicitly and repeatedly stated ("no minimum trading days required").
Payout split
Not published
Not stated on the legacy Starter/Expert/Master page. The newer Core/Scale/Pro lineup (per the rule-changes tracker, Jul 2025) added a $100K payout cap, $0 activation fees, and 5 sim-funded accounts on the $50K tier (up from 3), with no DLL or consistency rule in the sim-funded stage. The Builder plan ($50K, Jun 2026) allows passing in as little as 1 day, with the first payout available 48 hours after the first funded trade. The relaunched Flex plan ($25K/$50K, May 2026) uses EOD drawdown (not static), with a $2,000 max loss on the $50K tier.
Automation policy
Explicitly permitted on both the evaluation and the live funded account — one of the few firms allowing this on both phases.
MFFU replaced its Starter/Expert/Master lineup with Core, Scale, and Pro in July 2025, then added a Builder plan and relaunched Flex in 2026 — dated specifics live in the MyFundedFutures rule changes tracker. The account-size numbers above reflect the earlier eval-phase baseline; treat the plan names as historical rather than current.
Static drawdown vs. trailing drawdown — why it matters for a Pine Script
This is the concept that sets MFFU apart. On a trailing-drawdown firm like Apex or Topstep, every profitable stretch drags the floor up with it — bank $1,500 on a 50k account and the allowed drawdown moves closer, so a losing streak right afterward has less room to work with than it did on day one.
MFFU's static drawdown just sits still. Whether the account is up $1,000 or up $2,900 heading into the target, the floor hasn't moved an inch. That removes one of the most common psychological traps in prop trading — the sense that the closer you get to the target, the less room you have to breathe.
For a script, that's a structural advantage. A strategy with a known edge and a known R-multiple can be sized once, at the start, so that even a run of 10-15 consecutive losses stays clear of the static line — and that sizing never has to shrink as the target approaches.
MFFU contract sizing — how to size it right
With no minimum trading-days requirement, sizing can be more aggressive than on a 10-day grind like Topstep's — but the daily loss limit still caps how much a single session can lose. The goal is sizing so 3-4 stop-outs in one day stays comfortably under that limit:
| Account | Contract | Recommended size | Stop size | Max loss per trade | Losing trades to daily limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50k Starter | MES | 3–5 contracts | 8 points | $60–$100 | 12–20 trades |
| 50k Starter | MNQ | 3–5 contracts | 25 ticks | $37–$62 | 20–33 trades |
| 100k Expert | ES | 1 contract | 6 points | $300 | 6–7 trades |
| 100k Expert | NQ | 1 contract | 15 ticks | $300 | 6–7 trades |
| 150k Master | ES | 1–2 contracts | 6 points | $300–$600 | 5–10 trades |
Because there's no trailing floor to protect, sizing stays flat from the first trade to the last — no need to pull back after a strong day the way a trailing firm would demand.
No minimum trading days — what this means for algo traders
MFFU doesn't require a set number of trading days before the eval can close. If a strategy fires five signals on day one, all five hit, and the profit target clears — the eval is done. That's a different approach entirely from firms like Topstep, which requires 10 trading days and 5 winning days regardless of how quickly the target is reached.
In practice, most accounts don't blow through in two days — a properly sized Pine Script typically takes 2-4 weeks to reach the target on a 50k account. But on the weeks the market cooperates, MFFU doesn't penalize a strategy for running ahead of schedule. The eval closes when the target is hit, not after a mandatory waiting period.
Automation policy on MFFU
MFFU explicitly allows automated trading on both the evaluation and the live funded account — one of the more automation-friendly firms in the futures prop space. Since MFFU supports Tradovate, a Pine Script's TradingView alerts can reach the account through CrossTrade, which connects to Tradovate in the cloud with nothing to install, and run hands-off through both phases. As always, confirm the current MFFU terms before going live, since prop firm policy evolves.
CrossTrade's Account Manager can also hold a max daily loss and a trailing drawdown on the account, flattening and locking it when either is hit, which gives MFFU's $1,250 (50k) daily limit a second line outside the script. CrossTrade offers a 7-day free trial, no credit card required. Target Filled is built by the team behind CrossTrade, the automation platform we recommend.
What a Pine Script needs for MFFU's rule set
A strategy that fits MFFU's static-drawdown structure usually shares a few design choices:
- Fixed dollar stop per trade. Risk is pre-coded and doesn't change mid-session — the worst case on any single trade is known before it fires.
- One entry per signal, no averaging. A losing trade never compounds; the script waits for the next setup instead of doubling down.
- Bar-close confirmation only. Entries trigger on the close, not on intrabar movement, so backtest and live execution match.
- Daily loss kill switch. Once cumulative session losses hit a configurable threshold (for example, 80% of MFFU's daily limit), the script stops opening new trades for the rest of the session.
- RTH session filter. Keeps entries inside Regular Trading Hours, the cleanest window for MES, MNQ, ES, and NQ.
- CrossTrade-ready alerts. An alert message CrossTrade can read, so orders reach a Tradovate account without manual entry. Pro strategies have it built in.
Which Target Filled tier fits an MFFU trader?
Neither tier is tied to a firm or an account size. Indicators ($39/mo) is the full indicator library. Pro ($69/mo) adds every strategy with CrossTrade-ready alerts, and you set the contract size yourself: MES or MNQ against the $2,000 static floor on MFFU's 50k Starter tier, ES or NQ on its 100k Expert and 150k Master tiers, using the sizing table above.
