The creator shares their trading strategy, risk management approach, and a final verdict comparing the two types of funding. ### Key Points - **Introduction to Futures Trading** [00:01] — The creator has been trading futures for less than a month with Tradify, a futures funding company, and is sharing their first payout experience. - **Requesting the Withdrawal** [01:21] — The creator requested a $2,500 withdrawal from a 50K funded account, noting that they have three funded accounts with Tradify. - **Why 50K Accounts are Best** [02:05] — 50K accounts offer a total drawdown of 4.4% and require 6% profit, providing a better cushion compared to larger accounts which have a 3% drawdown. - **Withdrawal Rules** [03:01] — You can only withdraw 50% of the profit generated, with a payout cap of 3 caps per request. The creator withdrew $2,500 from a $55,000 balance. - **Trading History** [04:09] — The creator shows a history of daily trades, making $1000, $464, $317, $1500, and $1100 on different days, and explains they limit to two trades per day in Forex but trade more in futures. - **EOD Drawdown Concept** [05:05] — Futures funding companies use End-of-Day (EOD) drawdown, meaning the drawdown updates at the end of the day, allowing traders to build a cushion during the day before the drawdown catches up. - **Scalping Strategy** [06:13] — The creator uses a scalping approach with small risk-reward ratios to build a cushion, then risks more during the New York session. - **Common Mistake** [07:19] — Trading futures funding accounts the same way as personal capital or Forex funding is a fatal mistake due to the small drawdown and the drawdown chasing you. - **Trade Example** [08:16] — The creator shows a trade where they bought before breaking a high and exited near the maximum, making a profit. - **Payout Approval** [09:11] — The $2,500 withdrawal was approved within 6 hours, and the creator has validated their ID and Rise account for payment. - **Return on Investment** [10:08] — The account cost $99, and with a $2,500 withdrawal, the ROI is 2425%, multiplying the initial investment by 25.25 times. If withdrawing $4,000, ROI would be 3940%. - **Final Verdict on Futures Funding** [11:21] — Futures funding companies are different from Forex: easier to get funded but harder to withdraw due to the drawdown chasing you and consistency days. - **Withdrawal Impact** [13:02] — Withdrawing a large portion of profit can leave the account with a tiny drawdown margin, making it vulnerable to a single bad trade. - **Not as Easy as It Seems** [15:20] — Getting funded is easy, but withdrawing is another story due to consistency days, 50% profit withdrawal limit, and the drawdown following you. - **Comparison with Forex Funding** [16:57] — Forex funding companies have a fixed drawdown of 10% or 8%, making withdrawals simpler, but getting funded is harder due to higher profit targets. - **Personal Preference** [17:41] — The creator concludes that Forex funding companies are superior because of larger drawdowns and easier withdrawals, but will continue trading futures as well. ### Conclusion The creator plans to continue trading futures while acknowledging that Forex funding companies offer easier withdrawals due to larger drawdowns. They emphasize that futures funding is not as easy as it seems, with the drawdown chasing you and withdrawal rules that can leave your account vulnerable. ## Transcript $2,500 trading futures, specifically with Tradify's futures funding company. I've been Tradify's futures funding company. I've been trading futures for less than a month now, and I learn tools and risk management. I'm still a long way from reaching my Prime level, but it's true that I'm making my first steps, and in this case, I'm going to show you how this payout went with this funding account. I'm going to show you the dashboard, the trade I caught today after receiving the payout, because I requested the payout today and I've already traded with that same account and I've already built up a large cushion to barely meet the minimum days required to withdraw from that account again. So , for the moment everything is going very well, and if you'd like, well, to hear about my experience in futures, how it's going for me, and also, of course, if you want to give your opinion on what you think about the difference between a Forex fund company comments, I would appreciate it because it's true that I see it very differently, trading in Forex fund companies and in futures fund companies give you my opinion with the little time I've had and I'm going to show you some of the results I'm getting, although I 'm sure there's still a long way to go before we see Benjamin's Prime in the future. I requested the withdrawal this morning. Specifically, note that I have three accounts, all of which are funded here at Teddyfy, if I'm not green with the futures thing, okay? I'm learning about everything little by little, and I'll progress and understand all the funding companies a bit more, wrong about anything, I'm sorry. As I was saying , in this case with Tradefy, although I think the vast majority of futures fund companies do, there are like Apex, do allow you to have, if I'm not mistaken, about 20 accounts, but in example, only allows you to have, if I'm not mistaken, five funded accounts, explain why I'm going for the 50K accounts, which for me are the best in futures funding companies, because the total drawdown compared to the profit they require is very close, okay? They require a total drawdown of 4.4% maximum and a profit of 6%, if I'm not mistaken. However, if you go for accounts above 100k, 150k, 200k, then the dragdown is a little less. If I'm not mistaken, we're talking about a 3% total dragdown and they're asking for a 6% profit. Therefore, in 50K accounts, you have a higher percentage. more cushion. That's why I think the 50k discounts are the best for futures and for now I'm going to stay there. It's where I feel most comfortable. In this case, all three funded accounts are in positive balance. I received these two yesterday and traded them today. And in this case, this is the one I a little bit about how it went. Okay, here you can see that the balance I had today was 55,000. Here you are seeing it, okay? And hey, I made the withdrawal today, in the comments as well. Normally you can only withdraw 50% of the profit you generate, and you also have a payout cap. If I'm not mistaken, you can't withdraw more than 3 caps per withdrawal request, okay? So, if you have a balance of 55,000, you can make a withdrawal of 2,500, account to continue trading with it, to have it as a cushion, etc., which I also think is fine, okay? because that way you can continue trading with that account. In this case, this is the dashboard. I'm going to put it seeing it. That's why I don't want to cover myself up too much. And there you are looking at the which is today, it is not updated today. I'm also going to show you the trade I caught so you can see it, which was around 900 or 100, I think, of trade. And here you see, they practically gave me the account, if I'm not mistaken, on the 13th. I keep repeating " if I'm not mistaken" a lot, but bit green with the whole futures thing, but oh well , we're getting there. We've already had several withdrawals and I'm going to show you this one with this particular company. And as you can see, I think they gave me the funded account on Wednesday . I traded it on Thursday and made 100, 10000 on Friday, 464 on Monday, 317 on Tuesday, 1500 on Thursday, 1100. Now I'll show you the trade too because this doesn't update on the a day to update, that's why it doesn't appear here. OK? But you 're probably noticing that he trades every day , right? I usually limit myself to a maximum of two trades per day in Forex or Fonde companies . What's going on ? In the future, I'm working on them in a very different way. As you know, if you're a follower of the channel, I usually go for a one-to-two risk-reward ratio. In this case, with the Fond Futur companies, I'm going in a slightly different way, okay? Let me explain. The account drawdown is usually based on EOD. Okay? What does EOD mean? Basically, it means that all the profit you generate during the day, the drawdown follows you when the day closes, okay? Because with futures fund companies, the dragdown is always chasing you. Therefore, what I do is try to make a little money in London so 2000. Why? Because that drawdown hasn't been updated yet. Until the day ends, your drawdown doesn't update and it doesn't haunt you. Therefore, if you have a total drawdown of 2000 and a London drawdown of 500, it means that to trade the market opening, the New York session, you would already have 2500. This is the 500 you made in London plus the 2000 you have as a base because your Once the day ends, your drawdown updates and you're constantly being chased by the total drawdown. That's why I have more trades than I should, because I'm looking for small trades with negative risk-reward ratios to build up a small cushion in the account, and then in New York I'll try to risk to the account, okay? That's what I'm trying to do. That's why there are many trades where I'm looking for a very small risk-reward ratio, and at the moment and the moment it turns around I close it; I'm doing it like scalping, I'm managing it in a very different way than Forex fund companies. Because? Well, basically because they are very different. as futures fund companies, you will achieve absolutely nothing. Keep in mind that the total drawdown we're mind that the total drawdown we're aiming for on a 50k account is very small, okay? They ask you not to exceed a total die roll of 2,000 and they ask you to make a profit of 3,000. So, you have a total dragon of the ku and they're asking for a goal of six, okay? So, that's quite a lot , okay? The difference is quite significant; it's not the same as Forex fund companies, where you have a total drawdown of 10% or 8%, and you have that margin; the drawdown doesn't haunt you. The profit is practically the same as the total drawdown, even in some companies, for example, in Orion, you have a total drawdown of 10 in Swing accounts and they ask you for a target of eight. In other words, you have a higher percentage require, the target they ask for. Therefore, this is very important to understand. You can work the same way, and it's a fatal mistake that means you futures fund companies if you trade them the same way you would your personal capital or if you trade them the . Therefore, this is a very common mistake that you should avoid at all costs. That's why you're going to see an extremely different management style here, very different. The strategy I'm using is exactly the same: manipulations, imbalances, the same thing, but the risk management, both the risk-reward ratio I 'm using, is very different, both the risk I use to enter and the risk-reward ratio I'm looking for. It's a completely different world, it During the execution, a purchase with before breaking the high because it's already Friday at 6 pm. I didn't this RB we have here, okay? Therefore, what I've done is get out of here practically very close to the maximum, okay? I don't know if it can be seen here. Hmm, if not, well, I'll show you later, but basically it was that trade. And then in the following accounts, well, it's exactly the same, okay? I made the same purchase and left them exactly the same in profit. These two, these two new ones, well, I'll try to get them to 3000, 4000. I'll try to get them to make another withdrawal and, well, try to get 2K from each one and make a withdrawal of about 6K or a little more maybe, and again the same moment you have five in this one, five in another, 20 in Apex and so on, then I'll start scaling up the accounts and withdrawals much more, okay? But for now, quite comfortable. Regarding payout, I'm going to be completely transparent here show you this out of fear. It makes absolutely no difference to me because I already have a very large track record in Forex trading, and now I'm building it in futures, so it makes absolutely no difference to me. I know very well what I have done and what I this company? This is the first time I'm going to request a withdrawal because I've only been trading with it for a few days, honestly. I haven't been here long. And here you see, this is the $2,500 withdrawal, okay? on the account I showed you and it's already approved. I ordered it 6 hours ago, it was approved the package hasn't arrived yet. I received an email saying it's approved, and I also received this message saying it 's approved. Up here you can see the just have to wait. I have already validated my KC, my ID and everything. I've also validated my rise, which is where they pay you. Therefore, it's just a matter of waiting, that's all. Okay, so very happy. I already have this payout here and well, today I just made another pretty good profit on this account. I already have it at 3788 up. I could practically trade with it for the shortest possible time, making it very easy, and request another withdrawal of about 2000 more. Therefore, this account, the Roy I've put into it, is quite strong. Please note that this account cost me $99. If I make a withdrawal of 2,500 and then another withdrawal of 2,000, the percentage is absolutely insane, okay? Roy is absurd. Transform $99 into $4,500. Tell me, what is that investment? It's absurd. It's crazy. Look, I just asked HGPT to see what kind of return I 've had on this account, whether I should make another withdrawal of 2000 or just burn it. Imagine that right account and the Roy I've made from this account, okay? Let me explain. I tell you, account, okay? Let me explain. I tell you, if you invested $99 and withdrew $2,500, the net profit would be $2401. Therefore, the approximate result of Roy is 2425% of Roy. You multiplied the initial investment by about 25.25 times. And now I've said to him, well, what if instead of 2500 I withdraw everything and transform those 99 into 4000? And he tells me, "So the Roy would be an approximate Roy of $3,940, that is, you multiplied the initial money about 40.4 times." Absurd, completely. And now I'm going to give you my final verdict on futures funding companies. As you know, I personally have been trading only funding companies for a long time, but those in Forex. I believe that different from Forex Funding companies . In other words, if you have a . In other words, if you have a strategy based on trading work for you. You also have to keep in mind that the risk-benefit ratio risk you take per trade is completely irrelevant, since the drawdown will follow you. OK? You also have to keep in mind that there's something that's often said in futures funding companies, and that is that it's not easier to get funded if passing a challenge is easier. Because? asking for isn't from two phases, it's from one phase and they're asking for 6%. However, the drawdown is one cent, not 10 or 8 cents like Forex funding companies . Therefore, it is easier to pass the phase, it is easier to get funded, to have your little funded account certificate, but it is more difficult to withdraw because keep in mind that it is a phase one, but when you want to withdraw you have to build up a sufficient buffer so that when you want to withdraw, which in fact many necessary buffer, that is, you cannot withdraw less than $0 or you cannot or you have to buffer, you have to be above a certain amount of money, therefore that is already another phase following you. both in challenge and once funded, and all the profit you withdraw from that account will directly affect your total browndown. Therefore, on many occasions you will find yourself between a rock and a hard place, wondering, "Hey, should I shoot more?" Should I withdraw less to burn through the account or not? Because if you have $2,500 and withdraw $2,000, your account is practically dead because the delay is chasing you. Therefore, it is something very different. I see a lot on social media that many people are getting funding through futures funding companies . Oh, I've anchored with X, I've anchored with such and such, I have X anchored. Okay, but it has consistently withdrawn payus . Showing me a diploma for a challenge you've passed is worthless , because is extremely easy if you abuse the risk. Now, be careful, the important thing is to withdraw. You have days of consistency, you have a big dragon chasing you. If you have to make a mattress for him, you'll be exposed to the market all those days. If you withdraw that money you've already withdrawn, it will because the dragon is chasing you. Therefore, there are many things to consider, and they are very different. For example, in a Forex funding company, if you pass phase one and phase two and get funded, that account, if you make a 3% profit, you withdraw 3% and you still have a 10% drawdown margin or 8% in some companies, therefore, you have a huge margin. However, in a futures fund company , if I, for example, withdraw a large part of the 55,000 I've managed in the account, or if they let me withdraw a large part of it, or if I withdraw it and now I have a stop loss, in the next trade, my account hangs by a thread. Because? Because you've withdrawn a significant portion of the profit you've generated, you have a very small drawdown, which is 4%. You have assets that are also very volatile, and many people say, "No, the NASDAQ is better." Well, the NASDAQ is better, right? It depends on the trader you are, on the experience, because for me, for example, the euro/dollar is Because it's a less volatile asset. With the NASDAQ, sometimes you start trading the New York session, and the price is suddenly jerking up and what's happened, it reacts very strongly, it barely gives any confirmations sometimes , therefore, you have to adapt your strategy and your way of trading based on the NASDAQ. Also, if you trade the Nasdaq the same way you trade the euro, or trade Forex, let me tell you, you won't You're going to eat a pepper in a the same way. Therefore, trading futures is a good option. Yes, I don't see it as bad. Now, be careful, it's not as easy as they make it out to be, okay? It's very easy to get funded, it's very easy to make a good trade, hit the jackpot, over- account, risk your account on a trade and win it. That's very easy. Now, withdrawing is another story. You have days of consistency, they only let you withdraw 50% of the profit you generate. Be careful, the dragdown follows you. Everything you withdraw account balance. Be careful, it's not as pretty as they make it out to be. Now, passing a challenge, into an account, go down to one-to-one and go for it . But withdrawing is another thing, on social media, "No, I'm funded with a million, I'm... Yes, yes, champ, show me the certificates." Don't show me an email, no, no, no. Certificate in show me the page like I've done here, without tampo. Do that to me, okay? Don't show me a picture. No, no, no, no. Hey, show me. Because of course, passing a challenge is very easy, but getting funded is another story in the future. Therefore, in summary, I will continue trading futures. I'll see how far I can go, I'll see if I can scale, how comfortable I feel with new platforms, with Ninja Trader, new risks, new currencies, that case, on Nasdaq, when I have been trading only Eurodollars for many years, well, I will be trading both Forex funding companies and futures funding companies and I will get the best from each one and withdraw Forex fund company for anything. My final assessment is that withdrawing from Forex funding accounts is much simpler than from futures funding companies because you have a fixed drawdown of 10% or 8%, and I think it's much easier to withdraw Getting funded is more complicated because they require higher goals, but once have with Forex fund companies doesn't make sense because you have a very large drawdown, you have a drawdown of 10%, of 8%, it's crazy. However, in a tiny dragon; what it withdraws affects your balance sheet, the dragon is chasing you, it has nothing to do with it. In one it is more difficult to get funding, but it is extremely easier to withdraw, and yet in the other it is much easier to get funding, but it is extremely more difficult to withdraw. Therefore, in my personal opinion, the ball is now in the court of Forex companies; they are much better. As of today, I will continue to focus on future projects. I think it's something I need to get on with, I need to scale up, I need to make money with them because it's another business opportunity, Forex fund company, in my opinion, is still a bit superior, especially because of those drawdowns we have that are much larger, that the drawdown doesn't haunt us , especially in two-phase accounts. Therefore, even today I still choose to invest Forex fund companies. Leave your opinion in the comments. If they've sent me the payout certificate, I'll upload it. Anyway, I've shown them that they dashboard, everything, but they've still accepted the payment, but they haven't sent me the certificate. If you send it to me, the editor will forward it and post it the account to 55,000, withdrawn 2,500, and today I made another profit of approximately 10,000, and now I have the account back at 53,700, and the other two accounts at approximately 700 and 800, as I've shown you. So, leave your opinions in the comments, Forex futures. Please share prefer, how you feel, if you've tried it, if not, if you want to try it, and also, of course, learn from you. I hope you screen sharing, which very few people do, and we'll keep pushing forward with do, and we'll keep pushing forward with future projects, I've only been here a month.
