My Funded Futures Buffer Requirements

1. The Payout Buffer Requirements

MFFU uses a buffer system primarily for its Pro and Rapid account types. This ensures the firm has a safety net of capital before you begin removing profits.

Account SizeRequired Buffer (Pro/Rapid)(nothing for core accounts)Min Payout Request
$50,000$2,100$1,000 (Pro) / $500 (Rapid)
$100,000$3,100$1,000 (Pro) / $500 (Rapid)
$150,000$4,600$1,000 (Pro) / $500 (Rapid)
  • Pro Accounts: You are eligible for a payout every 14 days. You can actually withdraw up to 60% of your profits even before you fully clear the buffer, but doing so resets your progress toward the full “buffer-free” status.
  • Rapid Accounts: You must build the full buffer first. Once met, you can request payouts daily.

Core account has a buffer with flex add on where drawdown gets static when you reach 2100 profit but you can still withdraw below buffer.

2. The Drawdown “Lock” (Safety Buffer)

One of the most important “buffers” in MFFU is the Max Loss Lock.

  • Unlike other firms where the drawdown trails your open equity forever, MFFU’s End-of-Day (EOD) drawdown locks at the starting balance + $100.
  • Example: On a $50k account, once your balance reaches $52,100, your drawdown stops moving. It stays at $50,100 forever. This creates a “permanent buffer” of $2,000 that you can never lose if you want to keep the account.
