Futures Trading

Not forex. Something bigger.

Futures are standardised, exchange-listed contracts to trade a financial asset at a set price on a future date. Unlike forex — which trades over-the-counter between brokers — futures trade on the CME Group (Chicago Mercantile Exchange), one of the world's most liquid, regulated markets.

When you buy one ES contract, you're controlling exposure to the S&P 500 index. When you buy one CL contract, you control 1,000 barrels of crude oil. The prices you see are the same prices institutions trade at — no broker markup, no re-quotes.

Micro contracts (MES, MNQ, MCL, MGC) are 1/10th the size of full contracts, giving you all the same markets with a fraction of the risk per tick. Available on every IPFX Futures account size.

Exchange-Listed & Regulated
Every trade clears through the CME Group — the same exchange used by hedge funds, banks, and institutional desks. No OTC risk, no broker counterparty.
Tick-Based P&L
Each market has a defined tick value. MES = $1.25/tick. ES = $12.50/tick. NQ = $5/tick. You always know exactly how much each move is worth.
Micro Contracts — Lower Risk, Same Markets
Trade MES instead of ES to get 1/10th the exposure. Perfect for managing risk on smaller accounts while still accessing the same CME liquidity.
Session-Based Trading
CME futures trade nearly 24 hours on weekdays. All positions must be closed by 4:00 PM CT (end of regular session). IPFX uses EOD trailing drawdown — not intraday — giving you maximum room to work.

Why IPFX Futures

Built for traders who actually trade.
Not for firms that want you to fail.

No Consistency Rule
You trade when the market gives you opportunity — not when an arbitrary rule says your best day can't be too good. No single-day profit cap, ever.
Tradeify: 35–40% consistency rule. Topstep: 50% max-day rule.
EOD Trailing Drawdown
Your drawdown locks in at end-of-day highs — not intraday peaks. If you're up $3,000 at midday but close flat, your drawdown doesn't move. You keep your buffer.
Intraday trailing drawdown cuts you off mid-session. We don't do that.
90% Profit Split
From your very first payout, you keep 90% of everything you make. No waiting to "earn" a better split. No performance tiers. 90% from day one.
Topstep: 100% first $10K, then varies. Tradeify: 80–90%.
Weekly Payouts
Request a payout every week. Minimum $100. No waiting 30 days to access money you've already earned. Your profits, on your timeline.
Many firms: monthly payout schedule, multi-day processing delays.
Micro Contracts on Every Account
Every account size — including the $25K — allows both full and micro contracts. Trade MES, MNQ, MCL on any tier. Size up as your confidence grows.
Some firms restrict micro contracts to smaller account sizes only.
Scale to $500K
After 3 months of consistent funded trading, apply for a capital increase at no cost. Allocation can grow to $500K based on your live performance. No fee to scale.
Most futures firms cap allocation or charge for reset/scale access.

All positions must be flat by 4:00 PM CT (Chicago Time). EOD trailing drawdown locks at the highest account balance at session close — intraday equity peaks do not move the drawdown floor.

FAQ

Questions answered.

Your drawdown floor locks in based on your account balance at the close of each trading session (4:00 PM CT). If you start at $25,000 with a $1,000 trailing drawdown, your floor is $24,000. If you close a session at $26,500, your floor rises to $25,500. Crucially — intraday peaks don't move it. If you're up $2,000 mid-session but close flat, your floor stays at $24,000. This is the most trader-friendly drawdown model available.
IPFX Futures runs on IPFX Markets — our proprietary platform providing direct CME market access, ultra-low latency, and full API support for automated strategies.
Yes. Automated strategies are fully permitted in both evaluation and funded stages. IPFX Markets provides API and bracket-order support for automated strategies. Your bot must still respect all account rules — daily loss limit, EOD close requirement, and the trailing drawdown.
4:00 PM CT is the close of the CME regular trading session — when daily settlement prices are set. This is when EOD drawdown locks are calculated. Holding positions past session close introduces overnight gap risk and makes risk management significantly more complex. This is an industry-standard rule across all serious futures prop firms.
Traditional challenges (forex/CFDs) are 2-phase evaluations with MT5. IPFX Futures is 1-phase — pass once, get funded. You trade real CME exchange-listed contracts through IPFX Markets rather than OTC instruments through a broker. Profit targets and drawdown limits are sized to futures contract values and tick sizes rather than percentage-of-balance metrics.
Yes. Your evaluation fee is fully refunded on your first successful payout as a funded trader. It is a one-time payment — no subscriptions, no monthly fees, nothing recurring.
When you refer a friend using your unique referral link from your IPFX dashboard, and they purchase any challenge, you both automatically receive a 40% discount code for any future purchase. Both of you benefit — no cap on how many times you can refer.
