Prime is the fastest route from evaluation to recurring payouts. There’s no consistency rule slowing down the evaluation, so a good day passes it. Then you settle into a 3-day payout rhythm. Every Prime account runs End-of-Day drawdown, which most traders find the easiest model to live with.

How the 40% consistency rule works
Simple math: your largest single day’s profit can’t exceed 40% of your total profit at the moment you request a payout. Largest day ÷ total profit — that’s the whole formula. The Help Center’s own example: a $800 best day against $2,500 total profit works out to 32%, which passes. The rule stays in force for the life of the account, and after every approved payout the calculation resets from your new balance, so one big day early in a cycle does not follow you forever. Source.
How the drawdown works
Want to see the floor move day by day for your own numbers? Use the drawdown simulator: enter your closes and intraday highs and it shows where each model would breach.
How End-of-Day drawdown behaves: your highest end-of-day balance sets the reference, and the maximum loss limit trails it upward as the account grows — intraday swings don’t move it, only the session’s closing balance counts. Once your balance clears the initial trail level, the drawdown locks at your starting balance and stops moving. Close below the threshold and the account is breached.
The scaling plan (funded accounts)
Funded accounts don’t start at full size. Your available contract limit scales with the simulated profit in the account, recalculated at the end of each session (never mid-day), until you unlock your plan’s maximum. It doesn’t apply during evaluation.
| Simulated profits | $25K | $50K | $100K | $150K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0–$999 | 1 mini / 10 micros | 3 / 30 | 4 / 40 | 5 / 50 |
| $1,000–$1,499 | 2 / 20 | 3 / 30 | 4 / 40 | 5 / 50 |
| $1,500–$1,999 | 2 / 20 | 4 / 40 | 6 / 60 | 7 / 70 |
| $2,000–$2,999 | 3 / 30 (max) | 5 / 50 (max) | 7 / 70 | 10 / 100 |
| $3,000–$4,499 | — | — | 10 / 100 (max) | 12 / 120 |
| $4,500+ | — | — | — | 15 / 150 (max) |
Who picks Prime
Traders who want speed with structure. The consistency requirement and modest profit targets reward showing up steadily rather than swinging for one huge day — and in exchange, the path from “passed” to “paid” is about as short as this industry gets. On the two versions at each size: unless you genuinely trade the bigger clip, take the Included option and pocket the difference.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Prime plan cost?
From $129 a month for the 25K account with the Included position option, up to $425 a month for the 150K Prime Max. Each account size comes in two versions that differ only in maximum position size, so you are choosing how many contracts you can hold, not different rules. Everything else is identical across versions: End-of-Day drawdown, no consistency rule during the evaluation, a three-day payout cadence once funded, and the standard 90/10 split from the first dollar. There is no activation fee when you pass and no daily loss limit at any stage. Prime sits in the middle of the FFF lineup on price, above Velocity and below the End-of-Day configurations of Premier+, and the current per-size pricing, including any running promo, is always on the plans page.
How fast can I get funded on Prime?
The evaluation can be passed in a single trading day, because Prime has no consistency rule during the evaluation and no minimum-day requirement: hit the profit target without touching the End-of-Day drawdown and you are done. The upgrade to a funded account happens instantly when you pass, with no review queue in between. From there, your first payout can come as soon as three trading days into the funded stage, provided you have met the profit target for that first payout and your balance sits above the drawdown-plus-$100 requirement. Put together, the realistic best case from purchase to first withdrawal is well under two weeks of active trading, and approvals themselves are instant, with funds landing in your Rise account within hours once verification is done. The pace depends on your trading, not on anyone’s queue.
What drawdown does Prime use?
Prime uses End-of-Day drawdown on every account, in the evaluation and the funded stage alike. The floor is recalculated once per session from your closing balance, so intraday swings never touch it: a position can run deep into open profit, pull back, and leave your account exactly as healthy as your close. On FFF’s EOD plans the floor also locks once it reaches your starting balance, after which further gains stop dragging it up. This is the more forgiving of the two drawdown models and part of what Prime’s price buys; it suits traders who hold positions, trade pullbacks, or scale out slowly. If you are weighing it against the intraday trailing model used on Velocity, the trailing vs EOD drawdown guide walks the same trade through both rules with real numbers.
What are Prime’s funded payout requirements?
Between payouts, Prime asks for four things: a minimum of three trading days, a profit target that scales from $300 to $1,000 by account size, the 40% consistency requirement for the cycle, which resets after each approved payout, and an account balance above the drawdown level plus $100 at the time of the request. Meet those and the payout itself is approved instantly, with maximums of $1,000 to $3,500 on the first payout and $1,500 to $4,000 on later ones, depending on account size. The reset matters in practice: a monster day does not cap you forever, it just has to sit inside a balanced cycle. Every payout pays 90/10 from the first dollar, and the complete per-size table, alongside every other plan’s numbers, lives on the payout rules reference.
