FFF S2F Accelerate: a $50K funded account for $49.90

Written and fact-checked by the Funded Futures Family team. Plan terms are verified against the official help center. Last verified September 17, 2026. This is a product guide from FFF, not an independent review.

Funded Futures Family’s S2F Accelerate plan costs $49.90 with the 90% launch discount, down from $499. It gives futures traders a $50,000 simulated funded account without an evaluation. Here is what the account includes, how its trading rules work, and what you need to know before buying.

The offer and the account in one place

Those three numbers are the whole product. You pay $49.90. You trade a $50,000 simulated account. You keep it only while your equity stays within $2,000 of its highest point. Everything else on this page is detail on how those three interact.

What is S2F Accelerate?

S2F stands for straight to funded. On FFF’s evaluation plans (Velocity, Premier+, Prime) you pay a monthly fee, hit a profit target, and then get promoted to a funded account. On an S2F plan you skip that step: you pay once and start on a funded account from your first trade, with the funded rules as the only rules.

The account is a simulated funded account, the same stage FFF calls sim funded across every plan. You trade live market data on a simulated balance, FFF pays your approved profits out of its own pocket at a 90/10 split, and strong performers can later move to the live Professional Stage. The $50,000 is the size of the simulated account, not money handed to you.

FFF has sold a Straight to Funded plan since 2025. Accelerate, launched in September 2026, is a second version with a different risk model. The original, now called S2F Standard, comes in four sizes with an End-of-Day drawdown and a scaling plan. Accelerate is $50,000 only, gives you full contract size on day one, and reaches a first payout in five qualifying days instead of seven. In exchange it runs a stricter drawdown and a consistency rule that never resets. Both are laid out side by side on the S2F Accelerate plan page.

How the $49.90 price works

The math is one line:

$499 × 10% = $49.90

Pick S2F Accelerate at checkout and the 90% discount is applied automatically while the launch offer runs. If the checkout asks for a code, use FFF. The payment is a one-time purchase. There is no monthly billing, because there is no evaluation to keep paying for, and there is no activation fee when you start trading the funded account. FFF charges no activation fee on any plan.

Three conditions worth knowing. The first50 code, which gives new traders 50% off a first evaluation plus a $250 payout bonus, does not apply to any S2F plan, including Accelerate. Platform or exchange data fees, where they apply, are set by the platform and are shown at checkout, not on this page. And the launch price is the price at the time of writing; the checkout always shows the current number, so treat $49.90 as what we verified on September 17, 2026, not as a promise about next month.

What should you check before buying at $49.90?

• Billing. One payment. Confirm the total on the checkout page reads $49.90 before you pay.
• Account type. Simulated funded, $50,000, one size only. You cannot pick 25K or 100K.
• Risk rules. A $2,000 intraday trailing drawdown that never locks, and a 25% consistency rule for the life of the account. Both are explained below, and both are the reason the plan is priced the way it is.
• Offer conditions. Accelerate product only, applied automatically, code FFF if prompted, not combinable with first50. The price holds while the launch offer runs; the checkout shows the current number.
• Account limit. Up to 5 active funded accounts per user across all FFF plans.

What you can trade from day one

Source: Accelerate plan funded account.

Five minis is a ceiling, not a suggestion. Five ES contracts move $250 per point in total; a 4-point adverse move is $1,000, half the drawdown, in one trade. A trader who normally runs one or two minis gains nothing from the extra capacity and loses nothing by ignoring it. Size to your strategy and to the $2,000 of room you have, then treat the five-lot allowance as headroom for the days when your setup earns it.

Platforms: Tradovate and WealthCharts at checkout, with TradingView and NinjaTrader available through the Tradovate connection. News trading is allowed on every FFF plan.

How the risk rules work

Intraday trailing drawdown, $2,000, never locks

Your account starts at $50,000 and your floor starts at $48,000. The floor then follows the highest unrealized value your account reaches, in real time. If an open position takes your equity to $50,800, the floor becomes $48,800 the moment that high prints, and it stays there even if you close the trade for $50,300. Touch the floor at any point in a session and the account is breached.

Two things make this stricter than FFF’s End-of-Day plans. First, the floor moves during the day, not only at the close, so a winner you let run and give back can move the floor up under you. Second, on every FFF End-of-Day plan the floor stops rising once it reaches the starting balance. Accelerate has no such lock. However far the account climbs, the floor stays $2,000 below the high. A payout lowers your balance but does not lower the floor, so your cushion after a withdrawal is whatever you left above it.

Hypothetical arithmetic, not a trading result: the account prints an intraday high of $53,400 during a strong week, so the floor is now $51,400. You request and receive a $1,250 payout, leaving a balance of $52,150. Your room to the floor is now $750. Type your own closes and highs into the drawdown simulator, pick S2F Accelerate in the prefill menu, and watch the floor move.

Lifetime 25% consistency, never resets

The rule: at the moment you request a payout, your largest single day of profit may not be more than 25% of your total profit. Put differently, total profit must be at least four times your best day. This is the same formula FFF uses on every plan with a consistency rule.

What is different on Accelerate is the word lifetime. On S2F Standard, Prime and Velocity the calculation restarts after each approved payout. On Accelerate it never does. Total profit means all the closed profit the account has ever made, losses net against it, and your best day stays your best day for as long as the account exists. Withdrawals do not reduce the total; the rule looks at what you earned, not at what is still in the account.

Two teaching examples with the same $4,000 of total profit, neither of them a suggested target:

Trader B is not stuck forever, but because the rule never resets, that $2,200 day follows the account until lifetime profit reaches $8,800. On S2F Standard the same day would drop out of the calculation after the next approved payout. That single difference is the most important thing to understand about Accelerate before you buy it.

How payout eligibility works

Source: Accelerate plan payout requirements. FFF’s trading policies and terms also apply.

Five qualifying days is the gate people notice, but it is only one of four conditions. To be eligible to request, you need all of them at once: five days at $200 or more, a balance above the $52,100 buffer, a request of at least $500 that does not dip into the buffer, and a best day no larger than 25% of lifetime profit. Eligibility to request is also not the same as money in your bank. Every request is reviewed against the plan rules and FFF’s trading policies before approval, and only then is it sent through Rise.

Hypothetical arithmetic, not an expected result: a $53,350 balance leaves $1,250 above the $52,100 buffer. That matches the first-request cap, provided every other requirement is satisfied. The full $1,250 leaves the account and you receive 90% of it, $1,125, with $125 as FFF’s share. Your balance is back at $52,100, exactly on the buffer, so the next request needs new profit above that line. The payout eligibility checker now has an S2F Accelerate option that runs all four conditions on the days you type in.

Work backwards from the buffer and you get the real cost of a first payout: at least $2,100 of profit to clear $52,100, plus $500 more for the minimum request, so at least $2,600 of net profit, spread across at least five qualifying days, with the biggest of those days no more than a quarter of the total.

Who should consider S2F Accelerate?

The plan fits a specific trader. You already trade three to five minis and do not need a scaling ladder. You take profit rather than letting winners run open, because an intraday trail punishes give-backs. Your results come in a steady band of days rather than one outsized session a month, because a lifetime 25% rule remembers your hero day forever. And you want the shortest runway FFF offers to a first check.

It fits less well if your edge is occasional large sessions. A trader whose month is made by one or two big days will spend weeks diluting that day before the rule allows a request, and on this plan there is no reset to bail them out. That trader is better served by S2F Standard, where the calculation restarts after each payout, or by an evaluation plan such as Premier+. The price is low, but a low price does not make a plan beginner-friendly. If you have never traded a rules-bound account, the intraday trail and the lifetime rule are two hard lessons to learn at the same time.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an evaluation?

No. You start on the simulated funded account from your first trade, and the funded rules are the only rules. The proof FFF asks for comes on the way to your first payout instead: five qualifying days, the buffer, and the consistency rule.

Is the payment one-time?

Yes. $499 list, $49.90 with the launch discount, paid once. There is no monthly fee and no activation fee. Platform or data fees, where a platform charges them, are shown at checkout.

Is the funded account simulated or live?

Simulated. You trade live market data on a simulated $50,000 balance and FFF pays approved profits at 90/10. Traders who meet the Professional Stage benchmarks can be reviewed for a move to live capital, on the same path as every other FFF plan.

What happens if I breach the account?

The account is closed the moment equity touches the trailing floor. Whether a Funded Reset is offered on Accelerate, and at what price, is set out in your plan terms and the help center; check there before you rely on one.

How does the buffer affect withdrawals?

You can only withdraw money that sits above $52,100, and no request may take the balance below that line. With a $500 minimum request, that means at least $2,600 of net profit before a first payout is possible.

Does the consistency rule ever reset?

Not on Accelerate. It applies across the whole life of the account. S2F Standard, Prime and Velocity reset the calculation after each approved payout; Accelerate is the exception.

Can I use first50 on Accelerate?

No. The first-time offer is valid on Velocity, Premier+ and Prime evaluations only. The Accelerate launch discount applies on its own.

Where can I read the full trading rules?

The two Accelerate articles linked above cover the account and payout terms. The site-wide rules (10-second microscalping threshold, no bots, buy in your own name, 4:45 PM ET close, restricted countries) are on the payout and trading rules page and in the help center.

Check the offer and account terms

S2F Accelerate is $49.90 at the time of writing, down from $499, with the discount applied automatically while the launch offer runs. Before you buy, read the account rules and payout requirements, then decide whether a never-locking intraday trail and a lifetime 25% rule match how you actually trade. If they do, this is the shortest route FFF offers to a first funded payout.
