Funded Futures Network, reviewed: the full catalog reboot — Standard MAX and STEADY explained

Funded Futures Network — not to be confused with Funded Futures Family, a different company — did something rare on July 1, 2026: it retired every evaluation it sold. Standard OG, Express OG and Express MAX are all discontinued for new purchases (existing holders keep their rules). The replacement lineup is two products, and we've verified both from FFN's own spec articles: Standard MAX and STEADY. All 10 current plans, field by field: our FFN data page.

First, learn the vocabulary: "winning days"

Both new products count winning days, not trading days: a day only counts toward passing if your net P&L at the session flat beats a per-size minimum ($100 on a 25K up to $300–$350 on a 250K). A green day below the minimum doesn't count. This single definition is the most common way traders will misjudge how fast they can pass.

Standard MAX — the workhorse

Monthly subscription, $135 (25K) to $590 (250K) list. Pass with 5 winning days while staying inside an EOD trailing drawdown; a soft daily-loss limit locks you out for the session if hit (not a failure). Then the big structural change: no Exhibition stage — you go straight to a funded account and build your buffer inside it. Withdrawals unlock when the buffer is built, you're $500 above it, and you're inside the 40% consistency rule (which applies in both stages). Payouts process same-day once eligible. Split: 80/20 sim, 90/10 live.

STEADY — the premium replacement for Express MAX

One-time fee, $149 (25K) to $750 (250K). Pass with just 2 winning days under a 52% consistency rule that applies to the evaluation only — once funded there's no consistency rule at all, and no daily loss limit at any stage. The trade: STEADY runs the tightest drawdowns in FFN's lineup ($1,200 on a 25K), and payouts run in 5-winning-day cycles with per-request caps that step up from your 4th payout, a net-profit rule between payouts, and a $10,000 global cap per payout across all your accounts. Split: 90/10 from the start. After 5 sim payouts, the account goes to live review.

The rule nobody highlights

For all accounts bought after July 1: when you're moved from sim-funded to live-funded, your accumulated sim profit is forfeited — it does not transfer — and the move itself requires risk-manager approval. Live accounts then pay 90/10 with same-day daily payouts. Price that into any plan that involves banking sim gains.

Cost, honestly

FFN's standing promo (~50% off, a buy-one-get-one account, and the $120 activation fee waived) is baked into the prices their homepage displays — the codes circulating (DGT, LUMI) simply match it, as we've verified. At street prices, a 50K Standard MAX runs ~$80/mo with activation waived, which is genuinely competitive; at list it's mid-pack.

The verdict

FFN scores 83/100 on our methodology — the same-day payout reputation is real, the new lineup is simpler than what it replaced, and the no-Exhibition change removes the stage traders hated most. The counterweights: winning-day minimums make pass timelines longer than they look, STEADY's drawdowns are unforgiving, and the sim-profit forfeiture on live transition is the fine print to respect. Compare the daily-payout field before choosing: which prop firms actually pay.
