Who is this for?

Traders who want a choice of rules

Six plans with different drawdown, consistency and payout rules let you pick what fits your style.

Intraday traders

EOD drawdown and no daily loss limit in the evaluation suit intraday trading, but positions must be flat each day.

Traders who want to skip an evaluation

Instant Classic and Instant Lite need no evaluation, but have a higher fee and stricter payout rules.

Beginners

Rules vary a lot per plan; read the help centre for one plan carefully before you pay.

Swing and news traders

No overnight holding, and a 2-minute news buffer applies on funded accounts.

Evaluation steps

  1. 1

    Choose a plan and size

    Pick EOD, 1-Day-Pass, Flex, Daily Payouts, Instant Classic or Instant Lite and a size from $25K to $150K. All fees are one-time payments.

  2. 2

    Pass the evaluation

    On EOD, reach 6% (for example $3,000 on 50K) without breaching the end-of-day trailing drawdown ($2,000 on 50K). There is no time limit, and the evaluation consistency rule is 50%. Instant plans skip this step.

  3. 3

    Activate the funded account

    After you pass, the funded account is activated within 2 business days at no activation fee.

  4. 4

    Request payouts

    Meet the winning-day, consistency and buffer rules of your plan, then request a payout in one of the two monthly windows (Daily Payouts: every 24 hours).

Payout & profit split

80/20 standaard (90/10 via add-on); Instant Classic 100% op de eerste $10.000 en daarna 90/10; Daily Payouts en Instant Lite 90/10.

First payout
EOD funded: 7 winstdagen (minimaal 0,2% van het startsaldo per dag), 1-Day-Pass en Flex: 5 winstdagen. Daily Payouts: 24 uur na je eerste funded trade.

EOD, 1-Day-Pass and Flex: 80/20 by default with an optional 90/10 add-on (20% of the challenge price). Instant Classic: 100% of the first $10K, then 90/10. Daily Payouts and Instant Lite: 90/10 from the first payout.

Payout policies

On EOD, 1-Day-Pass, Flex and Instant Classic accounts you request payouts through the dashboard in two monthly windows (5th-8th and 20th-23rd). You need a number of winning days (7 on EOD and Instant Classic, 5 on 1-Day-Pass and Flex), you must meet the consistency threshold of your plan, and each request is capped by account size. From the second payout on accounts created after 7 August 2026, at least 50% of the amount must be new profit. Instant Classic also needs 10 calendar days, 7% growth and a 20% consistency percentage for the first payout. Daily Payouts has no windows: you can request every 24 hours, with a profit buffer and the 50% new-profit rule. The default split is 80/20 (90/10 with an add-on); Instant Classic pays 100% of the first $10K. The website says payouts arrive within 2 business days. Payout rules are updated often, so check the help centre before you buy.

Scaling plan

Account sizes run from $25K to $150K per account, and the website advertises up to $750,000 in total. GFF also has a rewards system with milestones and perks, and a path-to-live article. Contract limits are fixed for the life of the account (for example 5 minis on a 50K EOD account), and the plans have no scaling plan on the Daily Payouts and Instant Lite products. You can hold up to 5 funded accounts.

Automated
Allowed

EOD trailing max drawdown: it rises with your closing balance and locks once it reaches your starting balance (Daily Payouts: starting balance + $100). On a 50K EOD account it is $2,000 (4%). EOD has no daily loss limit in the evaluation; funded EOD has a soft daily loss limit of 2.5% ($1,250 on 50K). 1-Day-Pass has a 2% daily limit in the evaluation. Breaching the max drawdown closes the account.

Risk details

The EOD plan uses an end-of-day trailing max drawdown: it rises with your closing balance and stops once it reaches your starting balance. On 50K it is $2,000 (4%), on 100K $3,000, on 150K $4,500, and breaching it closes the account immediately. EOD has no daily loss limit in the evaluation but a soft 2.5% limit when funded. Instant Classic uses an intraday trailing drawdown, so intraday swings count. Positions must be flat before the session ends, and holding is not allowed overnight or over weekends. Funded accounts have a 2-minute buffer around high-impact news and a minimum holding time (2 minutes on EOD, 1-Day-Pass and Instant Classic): profits from trades closed too fast are deducted. Most traders lose money on evaluations; only trade with money you can afford to lose.
