Our Philosophy
At The Funding Futures, our rules and policies are not designed to restrict your trading — they exist to create a foundation for sustainable success.
Our mission is to leverage trader talent, promote effective risk management, and build a long-term partnership where both the firm and our traders thrive together.
Good Faith Policy
At the core of TFF’s guidelines is a principle of mutual trust and good faith.
We expect all traders to act ethically and avoid any attempt to exploit, manipulate, or interfere with our trading systems.
Prohibited actions include:
Exploiting price display discrepancies
Taking advantage of execution delays or data feed errors
Attempting to manipulate platform behavior for profit
Such actions are considered serious violations of our agreement and may result in immediate account termination.
By following these principles, we maintain a fair, transparent, and professional trading environment for all.
Bots & Algorithmic Trading
We recognize that automation can enhance trading performance — however, strict conditions apply to ensure fairness and integrity.
✅ Allowed if:
You are the sole owner and operator of the bot or algorithm.
The bot or strategy is not shared or used across multiple prop firms.
The strategy is not high-frequency trading (HFT).
🔍 Verification Process:
TFF may scan for duplicate order patterns across accounts.
Traders may be asked to provide a live screen recording or video showing them activating the strategy on their own device.
Proof of ownership may be requested at any time.
🚫 Not Allowed:
High-frequency or latency arbitrage bots
Shared or commercial algorithms used by other traders
Cross-firm bot usage
These measures protect the integrity of our trading environment and ensure all traders compete on a level playing field.
Microscalping
Microscalping refers to executing trades aimed at capturing very small price movements (a few ticks or points) over extremely short time periods — typically under 10 seconds.
At The Funding Futures, we seek traders who demonstrate skill, discipline, and replicable trading strategies that could be scaled or copied by our internal firm.
Because trades under 10 seconds are difficult to replicate reliably, the following guideline applies:
At least 50% of total profits must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds.
Failure to meet this requirement will make your account ineligible for payouts or challenge activation.
Maximum Account Idle Time (Funded Accounts)
To maintain your funded account’s active status, you must place at least one trade per week (Monday–Friday).
This rule applies per account, not per user.
If your account remains inactive beyond the allowed period, it may be marked as idle.
We will always contact you in advance before taking any action.
News Trading, Dollar Cost Averaging, Flipping & Scaling
We do not restrict the use of these trading methods. However, traders are expected to apply them responsibly.
News Trading
Permitted at your own risk
Be aware that high volatility may increase slippage or execution risk
Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)
Allowed as part of a structured and pre-defined strategy
Discouraged if used irresponsibly (e.g., continuously adding to losing trades without a clear plan)
Avoid the practice known as “averaging into oblivion” — excessively adding to losing positions in hopes of recovery
Flipping & Scaling
Both methods are permitted as long as they follow TFF’s risk management rules
Traders should maintain consistent strategy execution and avoid reckless overexposure
