Program Rules

These Program Rules are binding. They are part of the Terms of Use and control on Account parameters, trading limits, payout eligibility numbers and Fee amounts under Terms Section 3.2, the only order-of-precedence rule. Capitalized words have the meanings in Section 2 of the Terms. All Accounts are simulated: Account Balances are notional measurement units with no cash value, no order reaches any exchange, and no money is deposited or risked on your behalf.

Each Account is governed by its Purchase Version under Terms Section 3.4: renewal never changes it (Section 11).

1. Account sizes and Fees

1.1 The Evaluation Subscription renews automatically every 30 days until you cancel, the Evaluation Account passes (billing stops on the day it passes, whether or not you activate), or it closes (Terms Section 8). Cancel anytime in Account → Billing → Cancel; access continues to the end of the paid 30-day cycle.

1.2 Fees are non-refundable except as stated in Terms Section 9.

1.3 Market Data for the exchanges in Section 5 is included for Sim Subscribers who have accepted the Market Data Subscriber Agreement. Simulated commissions (Section 6) are deducted from the Account Balance and are never charged to your payment method.

1.4 Purchase limits. One Trader or Household may buy at most 10 Evaluation Accounts and Evaluation Resets combined in any rolling 30 days, and at most 5 Funded Resets in any rolling 30 days. Your dashboard shows lifetime Fees paid and Performance Compensation received. Before the 5th purchase in a rolling 30 days, checkout shows your 30-day spend and asks you to confirm.

2. Evaluation Accounts

2.1 Passing. An Evaluation Account passes when its Account Balance, net of simulated commissions and with all positions flat, reaches the starting balance plus the profit target, with the Floor never touched and no Prohibited Conduct. Passing can happen in one trading day.

2.2 After passing. Trading in the Evaluation Account stops and its Subscription stops on the same day. You may activate a Funded Account within 30 days by accepting the Funded Account Agreement and these Program Rules (Section 3.1; Terms Section 8.5A). Passing an evaluation does not entitle you to activation if you are ineligible, fail verification, or the passing result involved Prohibited Conduct or an error corrected under Terms Section 4.6.

2.3 Evaluation inactivity. Evaluation Accounts are not suspended for inactivity. They remain open while the Subscription is paid.

3. Funded Accounts

3.1 Activation. Activation is free. On activation: the Account Balance resets to the starting balance; the Floor resets to the initial Floor; evaluation profit does not carry over; and the Company issues Schedule 1 (Funded Account Agreement Section 4.5).

3.2 Parameters. Funded Accounts use the same maximum loss and Floor mechanics as Evaluation Accounts of the same size (Section 2 table). The contract limit for a Funded Account is set by the scaling plan in Section 3.2A. There is no daily loss limit. The consistency rule in Section 7.1 applies only when you make a Payout Request.

3.2A Scaling plan (Funded Accounts only). The contract limit of a Funded Account depends on its profit, which for this Section means the Account Balance at the most recent trading-day close minus the starting balance. A Requested Amount approved before that close is already deducted from it; one approved after that close counts from the following close.

$50K Funded Account

$100K Funded Account

$150K Funded Account

You may combine minis and micros in any mix that stays within the limit: each micro contract listed in Section 5.2 counts as 0.1 contract and every other product counts as 1. Example: on a $50K Funded Account with less than $1,500 of profit, you may hold 1 NQ and 10 MNQ at the same time (1 + 1 = 2 contracts).

Example ($50K). Day 1 closes with $3,000 of profit: the limit on day 2 is 5 contracts. Day 2 closes with $1,000 of profit: the limit on day 3 is 2 contracts. When a later close brings profit back to $1,500 or more, the limit rises again from the next trading day.

(a) The limit is set once per trading day from the prior close and does not change during the session. A new Funded Account, and an Account after a Funded Reset, starts in the first row.

(b) The limit moves up and down. If losses or an approved payout bring profit at a close into a lower row, the lower limit applies from the next trading day. No position is closed because of a change of row.

(c) Contracts are counted as in Section 5.2 (micro contracts listed there count as 0.1), and the per-product limits in Section 5.2A also apply; the lower limit controls.

(d) The Platform does not accept an order that would take the Account over the limit.

(e) Evaluation Accounts are not subject to the scaling plan; their contract limit is the one in Section 2.

3.3 Account limit. You may hold up to 5 Funded Accounts at a time, of any sizes. Evaluation Accounts do not count. The limit applies per Verified Trader and per Household (Terms Section 6.2). Suspended Funded Accounts still within the 90-day Funded Reset window count toward the limit; a slot opens when a Funded Account is liquidated, closed (you may close a suspended Account at any time), or its 90-day window ends.

3.4 Inactivity. A Funded Account with no filled trade for 30 consecutive days is suspended: trading is locked and Market Data is disabled for that Account. Days on which the Company locks or suspends trading in the Account (including during Payout Request review, an investigation hold, a contact-information review, a Market Data outage or a force majeure event) do not count toward the inactivity period, and no Account is suspended for inactivity earlier than 7 days after such a lock ends. The Company emails a reminder after 21 days without a filled trade. A suspended Funded Account can be recovered only by a Funded Reset at the price in Section 1, bought within 90 days after suspension; a Funded Reset restarts the Account at its starting balance and initial Floor (Section 3.5). Performance Compensation that was already eligible at the moment of suspension may still be requested while suspended, as stated in Funded Account Agreement Section 13.2. The Company keeps data for a suspended or closed Funded Account for 90 days, after which the Account is permanently closed and cannot be recovered.

3.5 Funded Reset. A Funded Reset restores a liquidated Funded Account to its starting balance and initial Floor. Resets are not available for Accounts closed for Prohibited Conduct or ineligibility, and the Company may decline a Reset where an investigation is open.

4. The Floor (maximum loss)

4.1 Initial Floor. Each Account starts with a Floor equal to the starting balance minus the maximum loss for its size.

4.2 End-of-day trailing. After each trading-day close (3:10 PM CT), the Floor moves to the highest closing Account Balance reached so far minus the maximum loss, if that is higher than the current Floor. The Floor never moves down.

4.3 Lock. The Floor stops rising once it reaches the starting balance and stays there for the life of the Account.

4.4 Live check. The Account Balance, including unrealized profit and loss on open positions, is checked against the Floor continuously during the session. If it touches or falls below the Floor at any moment, the Account is liquidated: all positions are flattened at the next available simulated price, pending orders are cancelled, and the Account closes.

4.5 Example ($100K). Start $100,000, Floor $97,000. Best close $101,500 → Floor $98,500. Best close $103,000 or higher → Floor $100,000, locked.

4.6 Payouts and the Floor. When the Company approves the first Payout Request for a Funded Account, the Floor moves up to the starting balance if it is below it, and stays there for the life of the Account (Section 7.7). Later payouts lower the Account Balance but do not move the Floor. After a Funded Reset the Floor returns to the initial Floor, and this Section applies again to the first payout after the Reset.

5. Instruments, exchanges and hours

5.1 Permitted products. The futures contracts below, on the CME Group exchanges named, are permitted. A product is available to trade from the date the Platform's product list shows it as live; until then it is not available in any Account. The Company may add products by updating these Program Rules; removing a product from existing Funded Accounts follows Section 11. All other instruments are prohibited, including stocks, options and options on futures, spot foreign exchange, spot cryptocurrencies, cash bonds and CFDs.

Contract sizes, tick sizes and tick values are shown in the Platform for each product and follow the exchange's contract specifications.

5.2 Contract limit. The contract limit (Section 2 for Evaluation Accounts; Section 3.2A for Funded Accounts) is the maximum total open contracts at any moment across all permitted products in that Account, counted by weight: each MES, MNQ, MYM, M2K, MCL, MGC, SIL, MBT and MET contract counts as 0.1 contract, and every other product counts as 1 contract. Orders that would exceed the limit are rejected.

5.2A Per-product limits. In addition to Section 5.2, the following products have a maximum number of open contracts (actual contracts, not weighted) per Account:

A new or lower per-product limit applies to existing Accounts only under Section 11.

5.2B Temporary limits in extreme conditions. The Company may temporarily lower the contract limit for an affected product, or stop new positions in it, while any of the following lasts: (a) extreme volatility in that product, including when its price is within 2% of an exchange daily price limit or the exchange has halted or paused trading; (b) a Market Data delay, outage or pricing Error affecting that product; or (c) an exchange, regulator or Market Data licensor requirement. A temporary limit applies in the same way to every Account of the same type, is shown in the Platform while it applies, and ends when the condition ends. It does not close an open position: you may hold or reduce a position that is over the temporary limit, but may not add to it. A temporary limit under this Section is part of these Program Rules and is not a change to them under Section 11.

5.3 Trading day. The trading day runs from 5:00 PM CT to 3:10 PM CT the next business day.

5.4 Flat by close. You must be flat by 3:10 PM CT (4:10 PM ET) or by the product's own market close, whichever comes first. Positions still open are flattened automatically at the next available simulated price. No positions may be held overnight, over weekends or over exchange holidays.

5.5 Holidays and halts. On exchange holidays, early closes and trading halts, the earlier exchange close applies. The Platform calendar shows the schedule.

5.6 Restricted news windows. The Company may designate economic releases during which opening or increasing positions is restricted, for Accounts purchased or activated after the designation is published; a designation never applies to an existing Account (Terms Section 25.3). No restricted news windows are currently designated.

6. Simulated commissions and fills

6.1 Commissions. Each simulated fill is charged a simulated commission per contract per side, deducted from the Account Balance:

6.2 Fill model (version FM-1). The Platform fills simulated orders against licensed real-time Market Data using the fill model published at ultrafuturefunding.com/fill-model. Market orders fill at the best bid (sells) or best offer (buys) at the time the order is received. Limit orders fill at the limit price when the market trades through the limit price. Stop orders become market orders when the stop price trades. The Company applies the fill model uniformly to every Trader and does not alter Market Data. A change that would worsen simulated fills is an adverse change under Section 11.

6.3 Errors. The Company may void, adjust or restate fills, positions and Account Balances affected by an Error, whether the Error helped or hurt you (Terms Section 4.6). Reinstatement after an Error follows Funded Account Agreement Section 10.2, which also applies to Evaluation Accounts.

7. Payouts (Performance Compensation)

7.1 Eligibility. A Funded Account may make a Payout Request when all of the following are true at the time of the request:

7.1A No waivers. These requirements apply in every case, except during a program wind-down, when Terms Section 24.5(b) controls and the Winning Day requirement and the per-request percentage limit do not apply. A suspended Funded Account may request only Performance Compensation that met all of them at suspension (Funded Account Agreement Section 13.2).

7.2 Payout period. The first payout period starts on activation (or a Funded Reset). Each later payout period starts when the Company approves the previous Payout Request (Payout Agreement Section 2, which controls); trading days are counted in it from the next trading day. Winning Days and the consistency test are both measured over the current payout period only. Net profit for the 50% limit is measured on the Account Balance (Payout Agreement Section 2).

7.3 Consistency example. With $2,000 of Period Trading Profit, your best day in the period must be under $800. If your best day is $600 (30%), you pass. In the next payout period the test starts fresh: with $900 of Period Trading Profit and a best day of $300 (33%), you pass. Consistency is recalculated at each Payout Request and may be recalculated after approval only if Trading Data is restated for an Error or Prohibited Conduct.

7.4 Amount limits. Each Payout Request must be:

• at least $100;
• no more than $5,000; and
• no more than 50% of the Account's Net Profit (Account Balance minus starting balance, after earlier payouts were deducted once) at the time of the request.

So the account needs at least $200 of Net Profit before any Payout Request. Example: with $2,000 of net profit, you may request up to $1,000. A $100 request needs $200 of profit; a $5,000 request needs $10,000.

7.5 What you receive. You receive 90% of the Requested Amount as Performance Compensation. The full Requested Amount (100%) is deducted from the Account Balance on approval. Example: request $1,000, receive $900; the Account Balance falls by $1,000.

7.6 Process. Submit the request in the dashboard. Trading in that Account is locked while the request is reviewed. The Company decides within 2 business days (usually 1), or places the request on an investigation hold with written notice (Payout Agreement Section 5.2). The Company pays within 1 to 3 business days after approval; Rise payments usually arrive within minutes and wires within 3 to 5 business days after sending. Every denial states its ground and the trades involved in writing, and you may request internal review (Payout Agreement Section 12).

7.7 Effect on the Floor. On approval of the first Payout Request for a Funded Account, the Floor moves to the starting balance if it is below it (Section 4.6). From then on, the room above the Floor is the profit left in the Account. Example ($50K): Account Balance $50,600, Floor $48,600. A first Requested Amount of $300 is approved (you receive $270). The Account Balance becomes $50,300 and the Floor becomes $50,000, so $300 of room remains. If the Floor is already at the starting balance, a payout lowers the Account Balance by the full Requested Amount and the Floor does not move.

7.8 Methods. Performance Compensation is paid through Rise (to a bank account or in USDC, after a one-time setup) or by bank wire, domestic or international. International wire fees and network fees may reduce the amount received. After USDC is delivered to your Rise wallet, changes in its value are your risk.

7.9 No limit on frequency. There is no fixed limit on the number of Payout Requests, as long as each one meets Section 7.1 and the Company has decided the previous request.

7.10 Contact details and change of country. Your residential address and phone number must be on file before identity verification. A change to either is reviewed within 2 business days, and a move to a new country requires new identity verification; during the review you cannot submit new Payout Requests, but approved payouts are still paid. The full rule is Payout Agreement Section 7.6.

8. Copy trading

8.1 Allowed. You may run one leader Account and copy its orders to your own follower Accounts using the Platform's copy function, at the same contract quantity per Account. Each follower's own contract limit applies, including its scaling plan row (Section 3.2A); an order that would exceed a follower's limit is skipped in that follower only, is not reduced in size, and the Platform notifies you when this happens.

8.2 Same owner only. Leader and followers must all belong to the same Verified Trader. Copying to or from any other person, including Household members, other Traders or accounts at other firms, is prohibited.

8.3 No outside tools. Third-party copy or trade-mirroring services, and any service that places orders in your Account or transmits orders for automatic placement in it, are prohibited. Reading or watching trade ideas and entering orders yourself is allowed.

8.4 Each Account stands alone. Every follower Account is measured independently against these Program Rules. A violation in a leader is treated as a violation in every Account that copied the violating trades.

8.5 No hedging across copies. A follower may not be configured to take the opposite side of the leader or of any other Account.

9. Prohibited Conduct and objective thresholds

9.1 General. Prohibited Conduct is defined in Terms Section 2 (Terms Section 12, Funded Account Agreement Section 9 and this Section 9). Violations result in the proportionate outcomes in Terms Section 13.4.

9.2 Objective thresholds. The following are violations when the threshold is met. Under Terms Section 12.3, the Company will not find these types of conduct unless the threshold is met, except that for account sharing and coordinated trading the Company may also make a finding on clear evidence under Terms Section 12.3, and the written decision will identify that evidence. The Company will identify the threshold and the trades involved. If in internal review (Payout Agreement Section 12) you show that the trades were not the conduct described, the finding is withdrawn.

Correlated groups. For the hedging and coordinated-trading rows, products are correlated only within each of these groups: (a) ES, MES, NQ, MNQ, YM, MYM, RTY, M2K; (b) CL, MCL, QG; (c) GC, MGC, SIL; (d) ZN, ZB; (e) MBT, MET. Products in different groups are not treated as correlated with each other, and HG and 6E are not in any group.

9.3 Effect on payouts. Profit from trades found to violate this Section is excluded from Net Profit, Period Trading Profit, Winning Days and consistency calculations, and Payout Requests are re-measured without it. This is the only effect of a first violation under the microscalping, single-outcome sizing, stale-price or same-account hedging rows unless the pattern repeats after written warning. For same-account hedging, the profit excluded is the net profit of both legs for the time they were open together.

10. Accounts closed, suspended and data

10.1 Outage restoration. If an Error (including a Platform, Market Data or provider outage) causes an Account to touch its Floor, be flattened, or lose a Winning Day, report it to support within 7 days after you knew or should have known of it; no report is needed for Errors recorded in the Company's Incident log (ultrafuturefunding.com/status), which the Company corrects on its own. Reinstatement or a free Reset, at your choice, follows Funded Account Agreement Section 10.2, the only reinstatement rule. Lost trading opportunity is not compensated.

11. Rule changes and versions

11.1 Each Account keeps its rules. An Evaluation Account keeps its Purchase Version through every renewal until it passes, closes or is Reset (a Reset is a new purchase). A Funded Account is governed by the Funded Account terms of that Purchase Version (or the version you choose at activation), recorded in Schedule 1.

11.2 Funded Accounts. Schedule 1 economic terms are never changed adversely for the life of the Account except under Terms Section 25.3. Any other adverse change applies to an existing Account only after at least 30 days' notice by email and in-platform message; you may close the Account before then and request any Performance Compensation already eligible.

11.3 Evaluation Accounts. An Evaluation Account's economic terms are the Section 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 values of its Purchase Version, and they are Protected Terms under Terms Section 25.3. An existing Evaluation Account is changed adversely only under Section 11.4, or after 30 days' notice for a change that does not touch a Protected Term. Subscription price changes follow Terms Section 8.5.

11.4 Immediate changes. Changes needed to stop a specific form of fraud or Prohibited Conduct, correct an Error, or comply with law or a regulator, exchange, data-licensor, bank, card-network or payment-provider requirement take effect immediately, within the limits in Terms Section 25.3, which never allow an immediate change to tighten a Protected Term except where law, a regulator, an exchange or a market data licensor requires it.

11.5 Favorable changes. Changes that only benefit you take effect when posted.

11.6 Archive. Every version is dated and archived at ultrafuturefunding.com/rulebook/versions. The dashboard shows the version that governs each Account.

12. Precedence and Company rights

12.1 Precedence. If these Program Rules conflict with any marketing material, Help Center article, support message or chat response, these Program Rules control. Conflicts among Program Documents are decided only by Terms Section 3.2.

12.2 Company determinations. The Company determines whether each requirement of the Program Documents has been met. This includes whether a trade, a pattern of trading or an Account complies with the Program Rules; whether conduct is Prohibited Conduct; whether an Error occurred; how Trading Data, Account Balances, Winning Days, Net Profit and Period Trading Profit are calculated; and whether a Payout Request is eligible. The Company makes these determinations in good faith, on its own Trading Data and records, and under the published rules and thresholds. A determination takes effect when the Company makes it, and it stands unless the Company changes it on internal review (Payout Agreement Section 12) or an arbitrator or court decides otherwise under Section 22 of the Terms.

12.3 Company rights reserved. Ultra Future Funding, LLC reserves all of its rights under the Program Documents and the law. In particular, as the Terms of Use, the Funded Account Agreement and the Payout Agreement provide, the Company may:

• review the trading in any Account at any time, before or after a payout, and enforce these Program Rules against trading that took place before the review;
• place an Account or a Payout Request on an investigation hold and require information from you;
• void, adjust or restate fills, positions and Account Balances affected by an Error;
• exclude profit, deny a Payout Request, and suspend or close Accounts for Prohibited Conduct, including Accounts linked to it;
• recover Performance Compensation that was paid because of Prohibited Conduct or an Error, and offset it against any amount it owes you; and
• decline any purchase, activation or Reset as the Terms of Use allow.

A delay in acting, or the approval of an earlier Payout Request, does not waive any of these rights. A right is not lost because it is not listed here.
