FXIFY Futures
FXIFY Futures takes the same no-nonsense approach as its forex counterpart and applies it to futures. Clean structure, clear rules, no major red flags — and a pass rate that suggests the evaluation is difficult but not designed to be impossible.

FXIFY Futures is manual trading only — no exceptions across any program. Set a reminder for 4:59 PM EST every trading day — positions left open are auto-closed at market rates which can trigger unexpected fees or drawdown breaches. If you want to copy trade, contact support for approval before your first copy trade, not after. Read the social media clause before you post anything publicly about the firm.

Forbidden Trading Practices
▪ Exploiting pricing errors or delayed data feeds
▪ Gap trading — opening positions within 2 hours or less before a market closure of 2+ hours
▪ Highly speculative trading with excessive risk-taking beyond standard market practices
▪ Hedging or opposite positions between accounts
▪ Ultra-high speed trading, mass data entry or AI-based systems that create unfair advantage
▪ Account rolling — acquiring multiple evaluation accounts to pass some while failing others
▪ Statistical arbitrage in any form
▪ One-sided bets, overleveraging, overexposure
▪ Account sharing or trading on behalf of another person
▪ Inconsistent position sizing compared to your established trading pattern
▪ Any trading the firm determines at its sole discretion to be prohibited — with 7 days notice of rule changes
News Trading
News trading is allowed across most FXIFY Futures account types — but with important distinctions depending on which program you're on.
▪ Standard and Expert plans: news trading fully allowed with no specific restrictions
▪ Lightning and Instant Funding: restricted during certain high-impact macroeconomic events
The practical risk worth understanding regardless of plan: slippage during high-impact events like NFP or FOMC can be severe enough to breach your daily drawdown limit even if your stop-loss is correctly placed. The drawdown limits are monitored in real time — slippage doesn't get an exception.
Most professional traders on funded futures accounts either reduce position size significantly around major announcements or sit out entirely and trade the technical pullback after the spike. Both are valid approaches. The rules don't force either — but the math on drawdown and slippage does.
Expert Advisors
▪ EAs are strictly prohibited on all FXIFY Futures accounts — evaluation and funded
▪ Algorithmic trading of any kind: not allowed
▪ Applies across all programs — Standard, Expert, Lightning and Instant Funding
Worth noting for traders coming from FXIFY Forex: the CFD side allows EAs on certain programs. The futures side does not. Different product, different rules — check which platform you're on before you set anything up.
Copy Trading
Copy trading is allowed but not enabled by default — you must request approval from the support team before you begin.
▪ Copying between your own FXIFY accounts: allowed with prior approval
▪ Copying from an FXIFY account to another personal account: allowed with prior approval
▪ Master account statement required if copying from a personal account into FXIFY
▪ Copying from external third-party accounts or signal providers: strictly prohibited
▪ Tradovate — the primary platform — has built-in copy trading tools across web, desktop and mobile
The approval requirement is the key detail here. Copy trading on FXIFY Futures is not a plug-and-play feature — you need to contact support, get approved, and provide documentation before you start. Doing it without approval puts your account at risk.
Account Models — Overview
| Model | Profit Target | Daily Loss | Max Loss | Consistency | Profit Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard $50K | $3,000 | $1,000 | $2,000 trailing | 30% best day | 80% |
| Standard $100K | $6,000 | $2,000 | $4,000 trailing | 30% best day | 80% |
| Standard $150K | $9,000 | $3,000 | $6,000 trailing | 30% best day | 80% |
| Expert $50K | $3,500 | $1,500 | $2,500 trailing | 40% best day (funded only) | 90% |
| Expert $100K | $7,000 | $3,000 | $4,500 trailing | 40% best day (funded only) | 90% |
| Expert $150K | $10,000 | $4,500 | $6,000 trailing | 40% best day (funded only) | 90% |
| Lightning | 5% | 3% | 4% trailing | 30% best day | 80-90% |
| Instant Funding | No target | 8% | 8% trailing | Varies | 80-90% |
Overnight & Weekend Holding
▪ All positions must be closed by 4:59 PM EST daily — no exceptions
▪ Weekend holding: not permitted on any account type
▪ Trades left open at 4:59 PM EST are automatically closed at market rates by the system
▪ Manual closure strongly recommended — automatic closure can trigger unexpected fees or breaches
This applies across all programs without exception. If you're coming from FXIFY Forex where overnight and weekend holding is generally allowed, the futures side operates on strict exchange session times. Different product, different rules.
Payouts & Funding Reality
▪ Profit split: 80% on Standard, 90% on Expert
▪ First payout: available 14 days after first funded trade
▪ Payout frequency: bi-weekly
▪ Payout caps: $5,000 maximum per cycle on $50K account, $10,000 on $100K account
▪ 2% buffer zone near maximum drawdown limit — entering this zone may make you ineligible for payouts before you technically breach
▪ Passing the challenge does not guarantee funding — FXIFY Futures recommends you to a third-party FXIFY Trader program, which makes the final decision independently
That last point deserves attention. Passing both the challenge and verification earns you a recommendation — not a funded account. The third-party provider can reject candidates for any reason. This is fundamentally different from firms where passing the evaluation directly unlocks capital.
Inactivity Rule
▪ Account not activated within 30 calendar days of purchase: access suspended
▪ No trades for 2 consecutive months: account deemed inactive, contract may be terminated
▪ No refund in either case
The 2-month inactivity window is more generous than the standard 30-day industry norm — but the no-refund policy applies regardless of reason.
Social Media & Public Complaints
▪ Complaints should be addressed directly to FXIFY Futures before posting publicly
▪ FXIFY reserves the right to take legal action against customers who post public complaints — even if content is not defamatory, misleading or in violation of trademark rights
This clause is broader than most firms in the industry. Worth reading before you sign up.
Final Take
FXIFY Futures delivers what it promises — a clean futures prop trading structure with US client access, three solid platform options and transparent rules. The monthly fee model adds ongoing cost that one-time challenge firms don't have, EAs are completely off the table, and the third-party funding model means passing the challenge is necessary but not sufficient.
The traders who fit here: intraday focused, disciplined with position sizing, comfortable with trailing drawdown, manual traders only, and not dependent on overnight or weekend holding.

pleasantly surprised tbh
Bought the cheapest account they had just to test the waters. support replied way faster than my actual broker which is kinda sad when you think about it. they grandfathered my old account rules when they updated their terms which felt fair. slippage outside of high impact news is basically a non issue for me. you can request a payout any day once youre funded, no waiting for some fixed cycle. i renewed my challenge this month which is basically my whole review right there. verdict: boring in the best possible way.
no complaints from me
Picked this firm because they supported my exact strategy. i passed phase two and the payout eligibility kicked in exactly when they said it would. their server uptime during the last nfp was flawless from where i sat. support replied way faster than my actual broker which is kinda sad when you think about it. sticking around until they give me a reason not to.
would buy again
Tried them out after a refund nightmare with a competitor. their economic calendar integration is a small thing but i use it daily. verification took one round of documents and they didnt ask me for ten random things. payout came through with zero fees deducted, what i requested is what i received. can you guys get in contact with this firm if I provide an acc number? their customer support hasn't replied in 7 days. kyc was painless, uploaded my id and got verified the same afternoon. the eval took me like 27 trading days total, not fast not slow, just fair. been burned before so trust me, these people are the real deal.
Support Actually Replies
Been trading prop for like two years so i have some basis for comparison. first withdrawal had a kyc step but it was a quick selfie and id, done in five minutes. the verification email came instantly instead of the usual 24 hour wait. i emailed about a deduction i didnt understand and they explained it within the hour. support answered a dumb question of mine with an actual example instead of a canned reply. their economic calendar integration is a small thing but i use it daily. stuck with them a year now and zero regrets.
Legit Firm, Got Paid
i blew my first account in two days like an absolute clown. platform hasnt frozen on me once in three months of pretty heavy use. the challenge rules are strict but at least they are written in plain english for once. i appreciated that they email you before a rule change instead of springing it. support gave me a straight answer about overnight holds instead of dodging the question. i came in skeptical and i am leaving funded, draw your own conclusions.
smooth from eval to payout
So i finally caved and bought a challenge here after months of lurking. the trailing drawdown is reasonable if you size your positions like an adult. leverage is reasonable, not the reckless stuff that blows beginners up. the challenge target felt achievable with proper risk, not some gambling threshold. the withdrawal request i submitted on a tuesday was sitting in my bank by thursday morning. support actually answered and the money actually arrived, what a concept.
sticking with them
Funded trader for about a year now bouncing between a couple firms. i tested the live account against the demo with the same setups and it matched. partial closes and trailing stops both worked exactly like they should. no surprise inactivity fees which i half expected to get hit with. i like that they show your stats in real time instead of a delayed dashboard. i requested a payout three times and all three landed inside the promised window. the rules never moved on me, that alone makes them a keeper.
happy so far
wanted lower targets and a calmer ruleset so this one caught my eye. i can run my own ea on their platform and it ran without any weird restrictions. idk but their content creators seem to actually trade teh product instead of just reading scripts. i had a margin scare during cpi and the platform held up without freezing. the drawdown is calculated on balance not equity which honestly saved me a few times. the leverage is sensible … enough to work with but not enough to wreck yourself by accident. boring in the best way … money shows up and nobody plays games.
took my money and gave it back with interest
first prop firm i actually stuck with long enough to get funded. i like that the daily loss limit resets at a sane hour for my timezone. the withdrawal request i submitted on a tuesday was sitting in my bank by thursday morning. they let me run my algo as long as it is not some latency arbitrage exploit. my market orders fill basically where i click … slippage has been almost nothing so far. the profit split bumped up to 90 after i hit a couple targets and it felt earned. three payouts deep and still no nasty surprises, that is my whole verdict.
good for swing traders
Saw an ad mid scroll and ended up buying an acount that night. getting verified for a payout needed an id and a selfie, standard stuff, painless. they refunded my eval fee when i got funded which was a nice surprise. tbh been with them six months and teh payout reliability is the main reason im still here. the leverage is sensible, enough to work with but not enough to wreck yourself by accident. i have nothing dramatic to report and honestly that is the highest praise.
