My Funded Futures Launches Studio: Static Drawdown and Anytime Payouts, but Micros Only and a Thin Cushion

My Funded Futures has opened MyFundedStudio with two limited-time plans, $10K for $140 and $20K for $280, offering a static Max Loss Limit, no daily loss limit or consistency rule, and payouts anytime. The catches: micros only, $500 or $1,000 of room, one account at a time, a daily profit cap and an end-of-day trailing Live account.
## What happened
**My Funded Futures (MFFU)** has launched **MyFundedStudio**, a new line of limited-time plans that it calls its "space for trying new plan structures." The first two releases, **Studio #001** and **Studio #002**, went on sale on **7 October 2026** on a dedicated [Studio page](https://myfundedfutures.com/studio). JoinProp reports that MFFU announced them by email that day under the subject line "Static drawdown is here."
The pitch is simple: one loss rule that never moves, and payouts whenever you want them. According to MFFU's [Studio help-center guide](https://help.myfundedfutures.com/en/articles/17349705-studio-001-002-a-comprehensive-guide), checked 8 October, the **Max Loss Limit is static** in both the evaluation and Sim Funded stages. There is **no daily loss limit**, **no consistency rule** and **no minimum trading days**. On Sim Funded you can request **all or part of your profit at any time**, with no buffer or waiting period.
## The two plans
| Studio #001 | Studio #002 | |
|---|---|---|
| Account size | $10,000 | $20,000 |
| Price (one-time) | $140 | $280 |
| Activation fee | $0 | $0 |
| Profit target | $1,000 | $2,000 |
| Max Loss Limit | $500, static | $1,000, static |
| Max size | 10 micros, no minis | 20 micros, no minis |
| Daily loss limit / consistency | None | None |
| Sim Funded daily profit cap | $5,000 | $10,000 |
| Payout minimum | $250 (before split) | $250 (before split) |
| Split (Sim Funded / Live) | 80/20 / 90/10 | 80/20 / 90/10 |
News trading is allowed. The Sim Funded account starts at a $0 balance and keeps the same static limit and the same contract cap as the evaluation. To request a payout you close all positions and submit at least $250 in the dashboard. MFFU deducts the amount from the account right away, then reviews and pays it.
## The catches
**The room for error is small for the price.** $140 buys $500 of drawdown. Ten micros is $50 a point on Micro E-mini S&P 500 (MES) contracts, so a 10-point move against a full-size position ends the account. On Micro Nasdaq (MNQ) at 10 contracts, that is 25 points. For comparison, the Topstep Labs $50K combine we covered on 5 October costs $149 once for $2,000 of static room. Studio's appeal is the payout terms, not cheap drawdown.
**Micros only, one platform, one account.** The help center limits Studio to micro contracts and says Studio accounts run on **Hyperprop only**, with "more platforms coming soon." You can hold **one active Studio account at a time**, evaluation or Sim Funded. That rules out running several Studio accounts side by side.
**Big days get trimmed, and idle accounts can be closed.** Net realized profit above **$5,000 (#001) or $10,000 (#002) in a single trading day is forfeited**. At 10 or 20 micros that ceiling is unlikely to bind for most traders, but anything above it is lost, not carried forward. An account with **no trading for 7 calendar days** may be closed, and MFFU says any profit you have not yet requested may be forfeited. Request before you take a break.
**Static stops at Live.** You become eligible for a Live account after **5 approved payouts**, or after **$5,000 requested on #001 / $10,000 on #002**, and MFFU's team may contact you earlier. The Live account starts at **40% of what you have requested, capped at $2,000**. It uses an **end-of-day trailing** Max Loss Limit equal to that starting balance, which locks at $100. The split rises to 90/10, with one payout request per day. So the static drawdown that headlines the launch is a Sim Funded feature, not a Live one.
**Availability is rationed.** Each plan has a **daily purchase cap**. When it is hit, the page shows "Sold out for today" and stock resets after **00:00 ET**. MFFU calls both plans limited-time and has not published an end date.
## What it means for traders
Studio is a test bench, and MFFU says so. The trade-off is clear: you get the rule futures traders complain about least (a fixed floor), anytime withdrawals and no consistency math. In return you accept micro-only sizing, a thin $500 or $1,000 cushion, a single account and a small Live allocation. That suits a patient micro trader who wants to bank small wins often. It does not suit anyone planning to scale up by stacking accounts. As on every MFFU plan, the evaluation and Sim Funded stages are simulated, and Live access is by invitation through an affiliated company. Compare it with the rest of the [My Funded Futures profile](/firms/my-funded-futures) and other [futures firms in the directory](/directory) before buying.
## What this article is not claiming
* We are **not** claiming partner or affiliate status, and we offer no promo code. The Studio page lists none. * We are **not** saying when Studio will close or what Studio #003 will look like. MFFU has published neither. * We are **not** treating static drawdown as new to the industry. What is new at MFFU is static drawdown across both evaluation and Sim Funded with no daily loss limit or consistency rule on top.
## FAQ
**Q: Is the Studio drawdown really static?** A: Yes, in the evaluation and Sim Funded stages. The $500 or $1,000 limit is set at the start and never trails. The Live account uses an end-of-day trailing limit instead.
**Q: Can I trade minis on Studio?** A: No. The help center caps Studio #001 at 10 micros and Studio #002 at 20 micros, with no minis.
**Q: How fast can I get paid?** A: Once you are on Sim Funded, you can request any time after closing your positions, with a $250 minimum and an 80% split. There is no buffer or minimum day count, though every request is still reviewed.
**Q: Can I run two Studio accounts?** A: No. Only one Studio account, evaluation or Sim Funded, can be active at a time.
