Firm Comparison

DayTraders vs My Funded Futures

MFFU holds a 4.9 Trustpilot score from over 11,000 reviews and overhauled its plans in July 2025 with Core, Rapid, and Pro. Both firms are futures-only. Both eliminated activation fees. Here is where they differ.

My Funded Futures launched in late 2023, founded by Matthew Leech (who also runs MyFundedFX for forex). The July 2025 restructure replaced the old Starter and Expert plans with three new options, each with fundamentally different drawdown, split, and payout mechanics.

DayTraders.com was built from the ground up for futures with proprietary automation, transparent rules, and a live funded trading path. This comparison covers the current plan structures using real data.


MFFU's Three Plans
Core
$77/mo (50K only)

EOD trailing drawdown. $1,500 buffer. 80/20 split. 40% consistency. $3,500 payout cap per cycle. Must be net +$500 between payouts.

Rapid
$129 to $299/mo

Intraday trailing drawdown (4%). 90/10 split. No consistency rule funded. $10K single-day earnings cap. $100K cumulative payout ceiling.

Pro
$229 to $449/mo

EOD trailing drawdown. $1,500 buffer. 80/20 split. No consistency rule funded. Payouts every 14 calendar days. Higher payout caps.

Pricing and Fee Structure
DayTraders.com MFFU
Billing Model One-time (always) Monthly subscription (auto-renew)
Activation Fee $130 one-time (Pro) $0 (eliminated Jul 2025)
Time Pressure None (no time limit, fixed cost) Cost accumulates monthly
S2L Live Activation Free N/A (no live path)

MFFU's Core at $77/month is among the cheapest entry points. But the subscription accumulates. A trader who takes 3 months on Core pays $231 total. DayTraders.com's one-time fee covers unlimited time with no accumulation. For fast passers, MFFU is cheaper. For traders who need time, DayTraders.com's fixed fee protects against cost creep.

Drawdown Mechanics: The Critical Split
DayTraders.com
Trailing Intraday. $2,500 buffer on 50K. No DLL.
Static Fixed floor. $1,000 on 50K. Never moves.
EOD End-of-day trailing eval. $2,000 threshold on 50K, $1,250 DLL.
S2F EOD trailing. No DLL on 25K.
S2L Intraday trailing. Live execution.
MFFU
Core/Pro EOD EOD trailing. $1,500 buffer on 50K.
Rapid Intraday 4% intraday trailing. Tightest model.
No static option
No live funded accounts
MFFU Rapid's intraday trailing is the most common cause of unexpected funded account closures at MFFU, according to multiple independent reviewers. A trade that goes $2,000 in your favor and comes back to breakeven has already raised the floor by $2,000. The 90/10 split looks attractive until the drawdown kills the account.

DayTraders.com's 50K Trailing has a $2,500 buffer vs. MFFU Core/Pro's $1,500 on the same account size. DayTraders.com's static option (fixed floor that never moves) has no equivalent at MFFU.

Profit Split and Payouts
DayTraders.com
100% profit on Pro and S2F accounts
80/20 split on Live funded (S2L)
Payouts every 8 qualifying days (Pro)
Daily payouts on Live
30% consistency rule (Pro funded)
No payout caps or earnings ceilings
No net-positive-between-payouts rule
MFFU (by plan)
Core: 80/20, $3,500 cap, 40% consistency, +$500 net req
Rapid: 90/10, $10K daily cap, $100K cumulative ceiling
Pro: 80/20, 14-day wait, higher caps, 1 payout before buffer
Core/Rapid: payouts every 5 winning days
Zero activation fees on all plans

MFFU Rapid's 90/10 split is better on paper, but the intraday trailing drawdown and $10K daily cap limit real-world earnings. Core's 80/20 matches DayTraders.com but with a tighter $3,500 payout cap and stricter 40% consistency. DayTraders.com's structure is simpler: 100% on Pro/S2F, no payout caps, no earnings ceilings.

Evaluation Rules
DayTraders.com MFFU (all plans)
Min Days 2 qualifying days 2 trading sessions
50K Target $3,000 (Trail) / $3,750 (Static) $3,000 (all plans)

Rules Change Post-Eval Same rules eval to funded Consistency/split/caps vary by plan phase
MFFU's Tier 1 news restriction applies in both evaluation and funded phases. Holding through FOMC, CPI, or NFP is a violation regardless of trade outcome. DayTraders.com has no news trading restrictions.
Account Limits and Scaling
DayTraders.com
15 Pro Accounts
5 Live Accounts

MFFU
5 Max Sim-Funded
10 Total (eval + funded)

Only 50K or 25K on Core. 50K to 150K on Rapid/Pro. 5 sim-funded only if all are 50K or 25K.

DayTraders.com provides significantly more scaling capacity: more total accounts, larger individual sizes, and no restrictions on which sizes can run simultaneously.
