Loading...Funded Futures Family and TradersLaunch both charge $79 for their $50K challenge, removing cost as a deciding factor. Since the fee is identical, your choice should hinge on what happens after you pay — the rules, the profit split, and how each firm handles funded traders.
The profit-sharing difference is substantial. Funded Futures Family stands out with a 80% split — you keep $800 out of every $1,000 earned. At the other firm's 55% rate, you would only see $550. For a funded trader earning $5,000/month in profit, that gap means an extra $1250 in your pocket each month.
Funded Futures Family provides $2,000 of drawdown room compared to $1,000 — an extra $1,000 buffer that can be the difference between surviving a losing streak and blowing an account.
TradersLaunch sets the bar lower with a $2,000 profit target versus $3,000. Additionally, Funded Futures Family requires fewer minimum trading days (2 vs 3).
