MyFundedFutures' daily loss limit doesn't exist — until you pick a bigger account
The $25K Builder has no daily loss limit. The $50K has one — and breaching it pauses the day, not the account.
Binding constraint — $1,000 daily loss limit, $50K Builder only. Confirmed absent, not merely unmodeled, on the $25K.Two traders open a MyFundedFutures Builder Evaluation on the same day, running the same strategy. One picked the $25,000 account; the other picked the $50,000. A rough morning that costs each of them $1,000 intraday produces two completely different outcomes — not because of anything either trader did, but because MyFundedFutures publishes two genuinely different rule sets under one program name, and only one of them carries a daily loss limit at all.
Scope: this page describes MyFundedFutures' Builder evaluation (FIRM_PRESETS id myfundedfx — the firm renamed from MyFundedFX to MyFundedFutures; our corpus keeps the historical id), at the $25,000 and $50,000 sizes, as transcribed from the firm's own per-size guide pages and dated below.
What the rule actually does, by size
Both sizes share the same profit target percentage, the same drawdown percentage and the same minimum trading days. The daily loss limit is not one of the things they share:
Firm's own text: "Daily Loss Limit: None." Not unmodeled — confirmed absent by two independent published pages.
2% of the $50,000 initial balance. Firm's own text calls the consequence of breaching it a "soft pause."
Our corpus's two-pass independent verification of both size pages states this plainly: "the 25k has NO daily loss limit, 50k has a $1,000 soft-pause DLL — our corpus already encodes exactly this" — flagged specifically as a real, non-interpolable difference, not a gap where one size's rule can be assumed from the other's.
Not a discount. A different rule. The $50K account isn't the $25K account with a limit added on top — MyFundedFutures publishes them as two separate rule sets that happen to share a program name.
"Soft pause," not "fail" — a second axis of difference
Where the $50K daily loss limit does exist, our corpus records its consequence differently from a typical evaluation-ending daily loss breach: the firm's own materials describe it as a soft pause, and our corpus logs the field as on_breach: lockout rather than fail. The evaluation itself, its progress toward the profit target, and its (separate) maximum drawdown floor are not eliminated by this rule alone. MyFundedFutures' own materials do not specify how long the pause lasts or exactly when trading resumes, and our corpus does not fill that gap with an assumption.
A worked example
- $25,000 Builder: day 1 opens at $25,000. A losing sequence takes intraday equity to $24,000 — down $1,000. Nothing in the daily rule set is triggered; the firm's published rule for this size states no daily loss limit exists. The account's only live constraint that day is its $1,000 (4%) maximum drawdown floor, still $23,900 away.
- $50,000 Builder: day 1 opens at $50,000. The identical $1,000 intraday loss reaches the $1,000 daily loss limit. Per the firm's own language, this triggers a soft pause — logged in our corpus as a lockout, not a fail. The account is not eliminated by this event; its $2,000 (4%) maximum drawdown floor, a separate rule, is untouched.
Same strategy, same dollar loss, same day of trading — one account never touches a rule that doesn't exist for its size, and the other is paused by a rule whose own firm does not classify it as a failure.
The rest of the Builder plan, side by side
| Field | $25,000 Builder | $50,000 Builder |
|---|---|---|
| Profit target | $1,500 (6%) | $3,000 (6%) |
| Maximum drawdown (MLL) | $1,000 (4%), EOD trailing | $2,000 (4%), EOD trailing |
| Daily loss limit | None | $1,000 (2%), soft pause / lockout |
| Drawdown lock point | Initial + $100 | Initial + $100 |
| Minimum trading days | 1 | 1 |
| Consistency (evaluation) | None | None |
Transcribed from the firm's own $25K and $50K Builder guide pages, each independently verified by a two-pass blind recheck. Both sizes' consistency field is recorded as none in the evaluation itself — our corpus notes a separate 50% rule applies at the payout-cycle stage, not to passing the evaluation, and it is out of scope for this page.
What MyFundedFutures' own documentation doesn't say
Two gaps, and they are different kinds of gap. One field carries a genuine ambiguity — the firm's own page supports two readings and our corpus records both. The other two are simply absent — the firm's materials don't address them at all, and our corpus does not fill the silence with an assumption:
- Ambiguous (drawdown floor, not the daily loss limit): whether the maximum-drawdown floor is tested continuously through the day or only at the end-of-day close. The firm states the floor trails the EOD close but never says whether an intraday dip through it breaches immediately — our corpus carries both readings, with the stricter one (intraday) as the conservative modeling assumption.
- Absent — does the daily loss limit count unrealized P&L? The firm's materials state the maximum drawdown counts open, floating losses. They do not make the same statement for the $1,000 daily loss limit specifically. Our corpus records this as unstated rather than assuming the same rule applies.
- Absent — what time does the daily limit reset? Not published for this rule set. Unlike FTMO's daily loss limit, where the firm states a reset time that is merely hard to convert to UTC, MyFundedFutures does not publish a reset time for this rule at all.
Also transcribed for this preset: the $50,000 size is sold with a choice between a $2,000 and a $1,500 maximum-drawdown option — the firm's own materials describe the Maximum Loss Limit as "the only structural difference" between the two variants. Both converge to the same lock point (initial + $100) by roughly day 7 on a fixed test path, so the choice is inert for any account that survives that long, and our corpus records it as such rather than as a live modeling fork. Every simplification is disclosed in the preset's modeling notes inside the engine, and dated on the rule changelog.
What changes the odds under this mechanic
These are properties of the rule as published, not recommendations. What any of them is worth for a given trader is a number the engine simulates from that trader's own statistics.
- Account size changes which rules apply, not just their size. Choosing the $25K Builder over the $50K removes the daily loss limit entirely from the rule set being simulated — it is not a smaller version of the same constraint.
- A lockout is not a fail. Where the daily limit exists, our corpus's reading is that breaching it pauses trading rather than ending the evaluation — a materially different consequence from a daily rule modeled as an outright breach.
- The maximum drawdown floor is the rule that can actually end either size's evaluation. It applies to both sizes identically in percentage terms, and its evaluation frequency is the field our corpus records as unresolved.
- Knowing the number before the fee. A simulated pass probability under either size's rule set is derivable from win rate, average R and risk size. The engine simulates yours, locally, before the fee leaves your card.
Questions traders actually ask
Does MyFundedFutures have a daily loss limit?
Depends on the size. The $25,000 Builder has none — the firm's own rule states "Daily Loss Limit: None." The $50,000 Builder carries a $1,000 limit. Our corpus's verification records this size split as real, not an approximation.
What happens if you breach it?
On the $50,000 account, the firm's own materials call it a "soft pause." Our corpus logs the consequence as a lockout, not an evaluation-ending fail — the account and its progress are not eliminated by this rule alone.
Does it count unrealized, open-position losses?
Not stated. The firm's materials confirm the separate maximum-drawdown rule counts open equity, but say nothing about the daily loss limit specifically. Our corpus records the gap rather than assuming an answer.
Why does the limit only exist on the $50K account?
MyFundedFutures publishes the two sizes as genuinely different rule sets — confirmed independently on both the $25K and $50K guide pages, not inferred from one page to the other.
