A futures prop firm for US traders sells a paid evaluation on a simulated futures account, and OctoFunded Futures does it with a 1-Step from $640, a 90% split and a crypto checkout.
If you already read our general guide to prop firms for US traders, you know the basics: simulated capital, rules by program, crypto in and stablecoins out. This page goes one level deeper, for the trader who thinks in contracts and expiries and plans the day around the US open.
What you get here is the full rulebook, every price and the arithmetic.
Can a US trader use OctoFunded Futures?
Yes. OctoFunded accepts traders in the US, and the Futures market is open to them on the same terms as everyone else.
What this article does not do is describe US federal or state law, registration or tax. Rules on trading products, crypto and tax can differ by state and change over time. Read the OctoFunded Terms, check the rules where you live, and ask a qualified professional if you are unsure. That check takes ten minutes and comes before any payment.
What do you trade on OctoFunded Futures?
You trade dated contracts on simulated capital: crypto quarterlies and monthly index and commodity contracts.
Dated means each contract has an expiry. For a US futures trader that is familiar ground. You plan around the front month, you watch the calendar, and you know a position does not run forever. That is the main difference from OctoFunded Perpetuals, where contracts do not expire and the market runs 24/7.
The account trades in OctoFunded Web with TradingView charts. Contract specs and symbol lists are shown on the platform, so check them there before your first order rather than assuming they match another venue you have used.
What are the rules, and what do they look like in dollars?
The Futures market has two programs. The 1-Step asks you to hit a target; the Instant skips the target and gives you tighter limits.
| Rule | 1-Step | Instant |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation | 1 phase | None |
| Profit target | 6% | None |
| Max loss | 4% | 3% static |
| Daily loss | 3% | 2% |
| Minimum days | None | Not applicable |
| Time limit | None | Not applicable |
| Profit split | 90% | 90% |
| Payout timing | See the program rules | On demand after 5 trading days |
| Fee refund with first payout | Yes | No |
Here is the same table in dollars on a $100,000 account. The rule lines are plain arithmetic.
| Line | 1-Step | Instant |
|---|---|---|
| Profit target | $6,000 | None |
| Max loss | $4,000 | $3,000 |
| Daily loss | $3,000 | $2,000 |
Two readings matter for a futures trader:
- The 1-Step target is bigger than the max loss. You need $6,000 without ever giving back $4,000 in total or $3,000 in a day. That rewards a trader who sizes small and lets winners run.
- The Instant is the tightest program we sell. On $100,000, one bad index open can use most of a $2,000 daily limit. Read our daily loss limit and risk per trade guides before you choose it.
For how the floor is measured on each program, see static vs trailing drawdown and the full wording in the program rules.
How much does a futures prop firm account cost?
OctoFunded Futures costs from $640 to $7,700 at list price. The second figure in each cell is the price with the public code OFF10.
| Account size | 1-Step | Instant |
|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $640 / $576.00 | $1,900 / $1,710.00 |
| $50,000 | $752 / $676.80 | $3,000 / $2,700.00 |
| $100,000 | $1,352 / $1,216.80 | $3,952 / $3,556.80 |
| $150,000 | $1,900 / $1,710.00 | $4,800 / $4,320.00 |
| $200,000 | $2,448 / $2,203.20 | $5,700 / $5,130.00 |
| $300,000 | $3,448 / $3,103.20 | $7,700 / $6,930.00 |
| $400,000 | $4,400 / $3,960.00 | Not offered |
Prices checked 30 October 2026. List price / price with OFF10.
The Instant costs roughly two to four times the 1-Step at the same size, and it has no fee refund. That gap is the price of skipping the phase. The 1-Step fee comes back with your first payout, subject to the program rules; our challenge fee refund page explains why it arrives then and not at the pass. OFF10 is our only public code, and the OctoFunded coupon code page covers how it works.
How do US session hours change a futures day?
For a US futures trader, the daily loss limit is under the most pressure in the first hour of the US cash session and around scheduled data releases.
| Window | Eastern Time (rough) | Central Time (rough) |
|---|---|---|
| Overnight and Asia hours | Evening to early morning | Evening to early morning |
| London hours | From about 03:00 | From about 02:00 |
| US data releases | Often 08:30 or 10:00 | Often 07:30 or 09:00 |
| US cash open | About 09:30 | About 08:30 |
| US afternoon | Noon to about 16:00 | 11:00 to about 15:00 |
These times are approximate and shift for a few weeks a year when the US and Europe change clocks on different dates. Check your platform clock, and check the program rules for when the trading day resets rather than assuming midnight where you live.
Three habits that fit the limits:
- Size for the open, not for the trend. If your plan risks $500 a trade on a $100,000 1-Step, you have six full losses before the $3,000 daily limit. On the Instant you have four.
- Decide your news rule in advance. Read about trading around news and write down whether you flatten before a release.
- Watch the calendar. Dated contracts expire. Know the expiry of what you hold so a roll does not surprise you on a day you are already down.
A worked example on a $100,000 1-Step
An illustrative example follows. The results are made up and do not describe a real trader or a real payout.
You buy the $100,000 Futures 1-Step for $1,216.80 with OFF10. Over several weeks you trade a monthly index contract around the US open and a crypto quarterly in the afternoon. You reach the $6,000 target without losing $3,000 in a day or $4,000 in total.
On the funded account, still on simulated capital, you close $2,500 of simulated profit inside the rules. At a 90% split your share is $2,500 x 0.90 = $2,250, and the 1-Step fee is refunded with the first payout, subject to the program rules. This is arithmetic, not a forecast, and many traders do not pass.
How do you pay and get paid from the US?
You pay in crypto, and payouts arrive in stablecoins with a public transaction hash.
- Choose program and size in the pricing section.
- Discount: enter OFF10 for 10% off.
- Pay in USDT on TRC20 or ERC20, USDC, BTC, ETH or SOL. Send the exact amount on the network shown. Our guide to paying with crypto covers network fees and timing.
- Payout in USDT or USDC, subject to the program rules. On the Instant, on demand after 5 trading days.
- Check the hash on a block explorer. Here is how to verify a payout transaction hash.
There is no card or bank transfer at checkout. If you need one, OctoFunded is not the right fit. We do not name or recommend exchanges or wallets; use one you trust that is permitted where you live. For the crypto payment side in more depth, see our futures prop firm with crypto payment guide.
Futures or another OctoFunded market?
Futures fits a US trader who thinks in expiries, trades the cash session and wants a 1-Step with a 90% split. If you want a 2-Step, sizes up to $1,500,000 or weekend hours, read our guide to the crypto prop firm for US traders, which covers Perpetuals. For all three markets on one table, see OctoFunded markets compared, and for the short product sheet, the OctoFunded Futures product sheet.
