Evaluation to Funded Process at Humble Futures Funding

At Humble Futures Funding, both our Standard Path and Express Path evaluations are structured as a 2-Step Process designed to fairly assess your trading skills before moving you into a funded performance account.

Step 1 – Evaluation Stage: 
Traders operate a simulated account that mirrors real market conditions, aiming to reach the designated profit target while adhering to all risk management and prohibited trading practices.

Step 2 – Submission for Verification: 
Once you have reached the profit target, you must submit an analysis request by emailing support@humblefunding.co. Please include:
• Your Account ID
• Your Rithmic User ID

Our analysis team will thoroughly review your trading activity to verify compliance with all rules and risk management guidelines.

What Happens After Verification: 
• If you are on the Standard Path, once verified, you will receive an email containing a payment link to pay the activation fee.
• If you are on the Express Path, once verified, you will simply receive an email confirming successful verification — no additional fee is required.

Important Note About Performance Accounts: 
If you are on an a Performance Account, it is crucial to carefully read the Legal Agreement.
• Drawdown rules change specifically for $25K and $50K funded accounts.
• The exact adjusted drawdown values are listed in the agreement.

Trading in the Funded Stage: 
Once you transition to a funded account:
• You must maintain a strong risk profile.
• Funded accounts are subject to stricter analysis than evaluation accounts.
• You must stay within the 25% violation threshold and demonstrate consistent trading behavior to qualify for payouts.

Additional Payout and Policy Information: 
For more information on how payouts work, minimum trading day requirements, and profit-sharing structure, please review the Payout Information section.

Final Reminder: 
Before trading in a funded account, read the Legal Agreement thoroughly to fully understand all applicable rules, especially those affecting drawdowns for $25K and $50K performance accounts.

Initial Capital Requirements for Performance Accounts:  At Humble Futures Funding, traders are not required to deposit any of their own capital to open an Evaluation or Performance Account. Unlike traditional trading setups where you need to risk your own money, Humble Futures Funding allows you to trade using our capital. This means you can take advantage of all the benefits and profit potential without putting your own funds at risk. Our model is designed to let you showcase your trading skills and achieve financial success by leveraging our resources, ensuring that the only risk you take is in your strategy, not in your personal finances.

Standard Path Overview:  The Standard Path is designed for beginner to intermediate traders who prefer a more methodical journey toward funding. After purchasing an evaluation account, traders must complete a minimum of 4 trading days and meet the profit target. Once the evaluation is passed, an activation fee is required to unlock the funded Performance Account. This two-step process promotes discipline and consistency, giving traders time to build confidence.

Key Benefits of the Standard Path:  This path includes a Consistency Rule applied to both Evaluation and Performance Accounts, a Revolving Discount on Evaluation Accounts, and the ability to upgrade to a Premium Performance Account once funded. It's ideal for those working steadily toward their $25,000 payout goal with structured growth and minimal upfront risk.

The Instant Funding Path is tailored for traders who have already demonstrated their skills and received payouts from other firms or with Humble Futures Funding. This path allows experienced traders to bypass the evaluation stage and gain immediate access to a funded performance account.

Instant Funding Path Guidelines and Rules: 
The Instant Funding Path is designed for traders seeking immediate access to a performance account without completing a traditional two-step evaluation. However, specific guidelines and restrictions apply to maintain compliance and payout eligibility.

Core Trading Guidelines for Instant Funding: 
• 20% Consistency Rule – No single trading day may account for more than 20% of your total net profits.
• Minimum of 8 Trading Days – Required before a payout request can be submitted. This rule continues to apply between all payout requests.
• Contract Size Per Account – Traders must adhere to the maximum number of allowed contracts based on their specific account size.
• Trailing Drawdown – Each account includes a trailing drawdown that moves up with your profits but never moves back down. If your account balance falls below this threshold at any point, the account is automatically liquidated.

Prohibited Trading Practices (25% Combined Violation Limit): 
Only three rule types are enforced under Instant Funding, and violations are tracked across all trades. If more than 25% of your trades fall under either category below, the account is subject to closure or forfeiture of profits:
• High-Frequency Trading (HFT) – Defined as holding trades for less than 8 seconds or executing an excessive number of trades in a short time.
• Scalping Restrictions (Microscalping) – Making trades that fall below the tick thresholds listed below in more than 25% of total trades is prohibited.

• DCA(adding to a losing position more than five times is prohibited), Scaling, and Flipping strategies are permitted.

KYC & Legal Agreement for Instant Funding: 
The required KYC documentation and legal agreement are only sent after a payout request has been submitted and verified by the compliance team. You will not be asked to complete KYC at the time of purchase, only once your account qualifies for withdrawal.

The Instant Funding Path is designed to reward proven traders by providing them with a fast path to accessing capital, enabling them to scale their trading journey efficiently.

After completing the necessary 8 trading days, you become eligible to request a payout from your standard or premium performance account(s). We have simplified the payout request process to make accessing your earnings easy and efficient.

How To Request Your Payout:  For a payout, either email us with your account information and withdrawal amount at support@humblefunding.co, or use the 'Request Payout' feature on the main page of the website. Enter the desired amount and confirm your Rithmic ID and Performance account name to complete the request.

Payout Windows:
Our two Payout Windows are the 1st–4th and 16th–18th of every month. While you can send a Payout Validation Request at any time after passing your evaluation, actual withdrawal submissions will only be processed within these windows.

 
We recommend that once you’ve passed, you submit your Payout Validation Request first—this pre-approves your account and lets us verify your details ahead of time. Then, when the next Payout Window opens, your withdrawal can be processed immediately, minimizing your overall wait time.

How Long To Receive Payout: 

Payout requests can take from anywhere up to 48 hours - 72 hours.

30% Profit Consistency Rule for Standard and Premium Performance Accounts:  This rule, relevant only to live simulated performance accounts, ensures that a single trading day's net profit does not exceed 30% of your total net profit over the necessary 8 trading days when requesting payouts. This applies to both standard and premium performance accounts, maintaining consistent trading practices and encouraging disciplined profit management across all account types.

What To Do For Exceeding 30% Threshold:  Should you surpass this limit, continue to employ effective trading strategies. Over time, as your total net profit increases, the influence of a single high-profit day will diminish.

Payout Policy:  Our payout policy is designed for simplicity and trader benefit. Traders retain 100% of their net profits up to $25,000. After this threshold, a profit-sharing model kicks in, allowing traders to keep 90% of their net profits. This approach promotes a sustainable and advantageous relationship. Upon reaching a net profit mark of $25,000, traders can continue to trade with live capital under this profit-sharing agreement.

Withdrawal Options for Domestic (USA) and International Traders:

Traders can choose either RISE or Humble Futures Funding internal payout paths.

1. RISE Payouts:
After submitting your payout request, you’ll receive an onboarding email from RIZE, where you’ll:

• Complete KYC verification.

• Select from RIZE’s payout methods:

  • Domestic ACH Transfers

  • Global Wire Transfers

  • USD and Stablecoin (USDC, USDT)

  • Instant Transfer Options

2. Humble Futures Funding Direct Payouts:

• Western Union – Fast cash pickup options in multiple countries.

Please ensure that your preferred withdrawal method is correctly set up before requesting a payout to avoid delays. All payout requests must be verified for compliance before processing.

If you don't meet the profit target within the evaluation period, you can continue trading until your subscription ends. You may also renew your subscription to keep trading until you meet the target. There's no penalty for not meeting the target; however, the account will need to be reset if you breach any of the account's rules.

The Standard Performance Account allows traders to receive their payout immediately upon request approval. Traders also have the option to choose a 3-month payout spread, which includes 5 free evaluation account resets.

The Premium Performance Account allows for trader to make higher payout requests while still recieving their payout immediately upon approval. It also offers a 2-month payout spread option, along with an added benefit of 5 free evaluation account resets + 1 PA Fee Waiver + 1 PA Reset. This account is tailored for traders who want to optimize their payout strategy and capitalize on their trading success while benefiting from enhanced account features.

It's important to note that the Standard and Premium Performance Accounts are separate purchase options—you cannot upgrade from a Standard to a Premium Performance Account.

Humble Futures Funding, like many other reputable trading firms, enforces rules to ensure fair and responsible trading. We want to make it clear that violations do not lead to immediate termination rather depending on the severity of the case traders may be only provided a warning, and in some cases a reset to provide another chance to correct any unwanted behavior, but termination is still a possible action.

• Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA): Adding to a position that is currently in a losing state—also known as averaging down—is strictly prohibited. Traders may only add to an existing position if the overall position is already in net profit. Five additional entry into a losing position is tolerated per trade pair, provided it aligns with a pre-defined trading plan and does not violate other rules. Adding more than one entry while the position remains in a net loss is considered a DCA violation. Traders are encouraged to scale into winning positions and maintain defined risk per trade. Multiple unplanned entries into a losing position will not be excused under any circumstance.

• Unauthorized Trading Algorithms: Use of automated trading bots or algorithms not approved by Humble Futures Funding is strictly prohibited.

Inactivity Rule: If any account—Evaluation, Standard, or Performance Account (PA)—is left without any trading activity for 30 or more calendar days, the account may be subject to review and termination. This rule ensures that all accounts maintain active and responsible trading practices.

These rules are in place to promote disciplined trading, reduce unnecessary risk, and align with industry standards for responsible trading practices. Violations of these practices may lead to immediate account termination.

Trading During Major News Events:  Based on feedback from our trading community, Humble Futures Funding now allows trading during high-impact news events. This change reflects our belief in empowering traders to build and refine their own strategies — including navigating volatility — while understanding the risks involved.

Trader Responsibility:  While trading during news is permitted, it comes with heightened risk. Major releases can cause extreme price movement, slippage, and increased spreads. By choosing to trade during these times, you accept full responsibility for the outcomes.

What to Expect During News Events:
• Increased Volatility: Sudden spikes and drops may occur without warning.
• Wider Spreads: Spreads may widen significantly before and after releases.
• Slippage: Orders may not fill at expected prices due to rapid movement.
• Execution Risk: Fast markets may lead to partial fills or order delays.

Examples of High-Impact News Events:
• U.S. Employment Data: Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP), Unemployment Rate, ADP Employment Report
• Inflation Reports: Consumer Price Index (CPI), Producer Price Index (PPI)
• Central Bank Announcements: FOMC Rate Decision, ECB, BOE Monetary Policy Reports
• GDP Releases: Gross Domestic Product Reports
• Retail & Consumer Data: Retail Sales, Consumer Confidence Index

Recommended Practice:  We strongly suggest reviewing economic calendars like Forex Factory, Investing.com, or MyFXBook before trading. Use proper risk management when participating during high-impact times.

Final Note:  This update was made in response to community feedback and aligns with our goal to support independent strategy development. Please trade responsibly — we are here to fund growth, not recklessness.

By default, Humble Futures Funding provides instant payout options for traders upon request. However, when traders qualify for a payout, an email will be sent to verify and validate their request. In this email, traders with a Standard Performance Account will be given the option to select a 3-month payout spread, while Premium Performance Account holders can opt for a 2-month payout spread. For example, a $1500 payout would be divided into monthly payments of $500 for 3 months for standard accounts. Traders who choose this method are also eligible for incentives, including 1 free performance account reset and 2 free evaluation account resets.

Payout Spread Options: Traders also have the option to choose a payout spread to break their payout into smaller, monthly installments:

Standard Performance Account: Opt for a 3-month payout spread. For example, a $1500 payout would be divided into $500 monthly payments over 3 months.

Premium Performance Account: Opt for a 2-month payout spread. For example, a $1500 payout would be divided into $750 monthly payments over 2 months.

Incentives for Choosing Payout Spreads: Traders who select a payout spread option will receive the following incentives:

Standard Performance Account: 3 free evaluation account resets.

Premium Performance Account: 2 free evaluation account resets and 1 free performance account reset

Important: Activation fees apply strictly to accounts under the Standard Path. These fees do not apply to Express accounts. Below are the activation options available:

1. $120 Lifetime Fee + 5 Additional Trading Days Required: Traders opting for this fee must first successfully pass their evaluation account. After passing, if they choose the $120.00 one-time fee option they will recieve a Standard Performance Account (PA) the same day with the condition of trading an extra 5 days for additional trading consistency before they will recieve their PA. There is no size limit to how many ticks or trades there must be, the trader just needs to follow the scalping tick thresholds.

2. $150 Lifetime Fee + One Day Pass: This is a one-time payment that grants instant access to a Standard Performance Account (PA), with the additional option of a same day payout for any requests. No additional waiting period is required.

3. $210 Lifetime Fee + One Day Pass: This one-time payment grants instant access to a Premium Performance Account (PA), which includes enhanced payout options and other benefits, with the additional option of a same day payout for any requests.

These options allow traders under the Standard Path to choose the best fit for their trading journey, whether they prefer a monthly spread payout or a same day payout activation fee for instant access to their Performance Account.

To cancel your subscription, it is the trader's responsibility to either email the support team at support@humblefunding.co or open a support ticket in the official Discord server. These are the only accepted methods for subscription cancellations

Important : If you do not cancel your subscription before the next billing cycle and are rebilled, you will not be eligible for a refund. Please ensure that cancellation requests are made in advance to avoid unwanted charges.

For traders who wish to manage their accounts effectively, we recommend reviewing your subscription status regularly to prevent any unexpected renewals. Once a cancellation request is received, you will be notified of the successful termination of your subscription.

Humble Futures Funding is committed to transparent and fair policies, and we encourage all traders to reach out promptly if they have any concerns or questions regarding their subscriptions.

Violating the overnight trading rule results in immediate account termination, forfeiting all progress and profits. This policy applies to both Performance Accounts and Evaluation Accounts without any 25% threshold requirement. Repeated violations will lead to a permanent loss of funding privileges.

Standard Path Evaluation Accounts:  

At Humble Funding, we follow a clear 1/10 conversion ratio between mini and micro contracts. This means for every 1 mini contract allowed, traders may alternatively trade up to 10 micro contracts. Below are the updated limits for each account size:

• 25K Account:
Traders are allowed to trade up to 4 mini contracts or up to 40 micro contracts.

• 50K Account:
Traders can trade up to 5 mini contracts or up to 50 micro contracts.

• 75K Account:
Traders can trade up to 8 mini contracts or up to 80 micro contracts.

• 100K Account:
Traders are allowed up to 10 mini contracts or up to 100 micro contracts.

• 150K Account:
Traders can trade up to 15 mini contracts or up to 150 micro contracts.

• 300K Account:
Traders can trade up to 30 mini contracts or up to 300 micro contracts.

Express Path Evaluation Accounts:  

These accounts follow the exact same mini and micro contract sizing as the Standard Path equivalents listed above. This ensures consistency across account types and allows traders to scale appropriately based on preference and risk.

Important Note:
While these are the officially supported contract limits for both mini and micro trades, our current automation system does not automatically reflect these sizes after purchase. If you would like your contract sizing updated to match the proper limits, please contact us either via email at support@humblefunding.co or by opening a support ticket in our Discord server. This is only temporary as we are actively working on a system upgrade that will reflect correct contract sizes automatically upon activation.

At Humble Futures Funding, the 2% Price Limit Rule is enforced to protect both the firm and our traders from excessive volatility and risk.

A CME Price Limit is the maximum allowable price range a futures contract can move during a single trading session. When this limit is reached, the market may temporarily halt, remain in a limit condition, or stop trading for the day depending on regulatory protocol.

Our 2% rule prohibits trading any product that is within 2% of its price limit—either to the upside or downside. This rule applies across all active trading accounts, including Evaluation and Performance Accounts, and is enforced without exceptions or thresholds.

How can you determine if you're within 2% of a Price Limit?

Price limits are calculated daily based on the CME's settlement price from the prior trading session. They vary by contract, product, and trading session (i.e., overnight vs. regular hours). Updated limits can be found on the CME Price Limits page and are usually released at 5:05 PM EST following each session.

To avoid violating this rule, monitor the % Net Change in your trading platform’s quote board. If your platform doesn’t show this, simply add the "% Net Change" column.

Example 1: If the settlement price of a product is 18,556.00 and the CME has set a 7% limit, the 2% rule calculation would be:

Stop trading if market moves above: 18,556 x (1 + 0.07 - 0.02) = 19,483

Stop trading if market drops below: 18,556 x (1 - 0.07 + 0.02) = 17,628

Trading within this 2% range of the price limit is strictly prohibited and may result in account termination.

Why do we enforce this?

Traders should avoid environments where price behavior becomes erratic. Participating in markets near the edge of CME-imposed limits increases the likelihood of slippage, execution risk, and potentially irreversible loss. Enforcing this rule safeguards both the trader and the integrity of Humble Futures Funding’s risk model.

Stay informed. Know your contract specs. Know your limits. For more details, visit the CME Group website and locate your product’s page for current price limit data.
