FundingTicks Pro+ Account Explained

If you’ve already looked at the broader FundingTicks Review, you know this firm sits firmly in the “serious futures shop” category: real CME access, fast payouts, and clean execution.
But their Pro+ account is the backbone of the entire funding model — the traditional evaluation route that gets you into a Master account with a 90% split and zero consistency rule after funding.

This article breaks down exactly how the Pro+ account works, what makes it different from Zero and One, the rules that matter (and the ones that bite), and whether this is actually worth trading in 2025.

What Is the FundingTicks Pro+ Account?

The Pro+ account is FundingTicks’ evaluation-based funding path.
This is the “earn it first” model — you show discipline, pass cleanly, and then unlock a Master account with:

• real CME futures access
• 90% payout split
• 5-day payout cycles
• no consistency rule
• an EOD trailing drawdown that stops trailing at a breakeven lock

If you’re coming from something like Apex or Topstep, this Pro+ setup feels far cleaner — fewer gimmicks, fewer moving targets, more trader-first decisions.

Once you pass the evaluation (Student Stage), you’re promoted to a Master account, and that’s where the real payout mechanics kick in.

Quick Breakdown of the Pro+ Evaluation

Here’s how a typical Pro+ account looks:

$25K Pro+ Example

• Fee: $99/month
• Profit Target: $1,500 (6%)
• Drawdown: $1,000 EOD trailing
• Daily Loss Cap: $1,000
• 2% max loss per trade
• Contracts: 2 minis or 20 micros
• Minimum Days: 3
• Consistency Rule (Evaluation Only): 40% max per day

Once funded →
Consistency disappears. Drawdown locks. Payouts start.

Pro+ vs Zero vs One: What’s the Real Difference?

FundingTicks offers three models. Here’s the clean distinction:

Pro+

Evaluation-based
EOD trailing DD
Fixed daily loss limit
40% consistency rule (eval only)
90% split after passing
5-day payouts

Best for: traders who want structure and don’t want to pay upfront for instant funding.

Zero

Instant funding
Stricter fixed DD (3%/5%)
25% consistency per payout window
No evaluation
4–7 day payout access

Best for: dialed-in traders scaling aggressively.

One

Freedom-based evaluation
No minimum days
No consistency rule
No payout cap
Weekly payout eligibility

Best for: advanced traders who want zero friction and no constraints.

Pro+ is the most beginner-friendly and the most stable long-term model.

FundingTicks Pro+ Rules: The Important, The Hidden & The Painful

FundingTicks markets Pro+ as simple — and it mostly is — but the rules still require discipline.

Let’s break down the ones that matter.

1. End-of-Day Trailing Drawdown

This is one of the cleanest EOD systems in the futures prop space.

• It trails only on closed balance
• It updates at end of day only
• It stops trailing once it hits breakeven + $100

This gives you intraday breathing room — something most traders underestimate.

But there’s a catch.

2. The Fixed Daily Loss Limit Is Not Optional

FundingTicks markets their EOD drawdown as “no daily drawdown,” which is technically true — but not practically.

The Pro+ account includes:

• a fixed daily loss limit (e.g. $1,000 on a $25K account)

Hit it intraday → account fails, even if your overall balance is fine.

This is the most common Pro+ failure point.

3. 2% Maximum Loss Per Trade

This rule is harsh if you don’t use hard stops.

Example:
25K account → max trade loss ≈ $500.
That’s ~20 ticks on ES, ~10–12 on NQ.

If you don’t impose a stop, you violate the rule.

This applies to ALL trades — even ones that come back.

Break it → account gone.

4. 40% Consistency Rule (Evaluation Only)

During Student/Pro+ evaluation:

• No single day can contribute more than 40% of your total profit to pass.

Once funded → this rule disappears entirely.
You can have a huge winner on day one of your Master account and still withdraw.

This is one of FundingTicks’ biggest advantages over other prop firms.

5. 10-Second Minimum Hold

Tick scalpers won’t love this.

At least:

• 50% of trades OR
• 50% of profits

must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds.

Quick in/out sequences violate this.
Algo scalpers: this model isn’t for you.

6. News Trading Restrictions

FundingTicks uses Forex Factory’s red events as the official news calendar.

On funded Master accounts:

• no opening
• no closing
• no holding

within 2 minutes before/after a Tier 1 event.

Violations do NOT kill the account — but profits from those trades are removed.

Full news breakdown is available in the FundingTicks News Rules article.

7. Strategy Restrictions

They’re strict on:

• martingale
• layering/aggressive DCA
• spoofing
• no-stop-loss trading
• “rolling accounts”
• massive sizing swings

If you reinforce size only as a trade works, it’s fine.
If you scale in 8 times on a loser, expect problems.

What You Can Trade on a Pro+ Account

All Pro+ and Master accounts have the same access:

Real CME futures only:

• ES / MES
• NQ / MNQ
• RTY / M2K
• YM / MYM
• CL
• GC
• 6E, 6J, etc.
• ZB, ZN, ZT
• grains (ZC, ZS, ZW)

Execution via:

• Tradovate
• NinjaTrader
• TradingView (+ Tradovate add-on)

Execution quality is excellent — fills match my broker accounts.

If you want synthetic CFDs, look elsewhere.

Pro+ Payouts: Timing, Process & What to Expect

This is one of FundingTicks’ strongest features.

Payout Frequency

Every 5 days
(You only need 1% profit to request)

Payout Methods

• Wise
• Plaid
• PayPal

Processing Time

Consistently:

• 1–3 days for Wise/PayPal
• near-instant for Plaid

I’ve taken multiple withdrawals — never had a single issue or delay.

Compared to some firms that drag you through verification cycles, FundingTicks keeps it clean.

Split

90/10 on all Master accounts.

Zero games, no payout buffer.

Who the FundingTicks Pro+ Account Is Best For

Perfect For:

• traders who want structure, not gimmicks
• anyone who trades ES/NQ intraday with discipline
• traders who need EOD drawdown
• people who want clean payouts every 5 days
• those scaling through multiple Master accounts

Not Great For:

• tick scalpers
• traders who skip stop-losses
• people who trade heavy news
• loose risk managers
• aggressive DCA/trend-fighting setups

Pro+ rewards clean structure, not chaos.

Final Verdict: Is the FundingTicks Pro+ Account Worth It?

If you’re a disciplined futures trader who wants:

• real CME access
• real payout speed
• a fair evaluation
• a generous funded phase
• 90% profit split
• no consistency rule
• EOD trailing drawdown

…the Pro+ account is one of the best “traditional eval” setups in the futures prop landscape.

It’s not easy, but it’s fair.
And after trading it myself — and withdrawing multiple times — the experience held up in practice, not just on their landing page.

If you want instant funding, Zero is faster.
If you want zero constraints, One is smoother.
But for most traders, Pro+ is the most balanced lane.‍
