FXIFY Futures

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

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.
