Redline Futures Funding Review: Plans, Rules, and How It Compares

Redline Futures Funding is a United States futures prop firm operated by Redline Technologies, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company registered at 30 N Gould St, Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801, and founded in 2024. It sells one-time evaluations in $25K, $50K, $100K and $150K sizes across three account styles, and its headline pitch is the absence of a daily loss limit: the trailing drawdown is the only loss-limit rule on the account, on every style, in both the evaluation and the funded phase. The profit target is 5.5% rather than the 6% that is common across the futures category, and the profit split is a flat 90/10. All trading is simulated on CME-licensed dxFeed market data; payouts are paid by Redline in real money.

Plans and pricing

Redline sells three styles. Gas runs a trailing intraday drawdown, has no consistency rule once funded, and denies a payout if a single trade's maximum adverse excursion reaches 30% of the drawdown. Electric runs an end-of-day trailing drawdown that moves up only at session close, carries a 30% consistency rule once funded, and sets its single-trade limit at 50%. Diesel skips the evaluation entirely for a one-time payment, running the Electric funded ruleset on an intraday trailing drawdown.

Gas is sold in two tiers: Standard, paid in full up front, and Activation, which charges less up front and then a $129 activation fee after you pass. The Activation tier is not offered on the $25K size. Electric list prices carried a 30% discount code, WEALTH, which was live with a 13-day countdown when this page was checked on 2026-08-20.

The profit target and the maximum loss are identical across Gas and Electric at each size; only the drawdown style differs. Diesel accounts have no profit target because they start funded. Electric evaluations carry a reset fee of $47, $57, $114 or $143 by size if purchased within 72 hours of the breach.

Rules that matter

There is no daily loss limit on any size or any style, in evaluation or funded. The trailing drawdown is fixed in dollars at $1,000, $2,000, $3,500 and $5,000 by size. On Gas and Diesel the floor follows your highest live account equity including the unrealized profit of open positions, ratchets up only, and is checked live, so giving back an open trade's profit can breach the account before that profit is ever booked. On Electric the floor moves up only at session close.

There is no consistency rule to pass the evaluation on any style, and no minimum number of trading days to pass. Overnight and weekend holds are not allowed, positions must be flat by the session close, and every evaluation deactivates 25 days after purchase if it has not been passed. Both evaluation and funded accounts are subject to forfeiture if no trade is placed for 14 consecutive days; logging in or loading a chart does not count. Position size is capped at 5 mini or 50 micro contracts per side on evaluations, and Electric and Diesel funded accounts at $25K and $50K drop to 3 mini or 30 micro.

Payouts require 8 trading days including 6 winning days of $130 or more, counted by CME session rather than calendar date. The minimum request is $500 per cycle and the maximum is $1,000, $1,500, $2,000 or $2,500 gross by size, with up to 50% of accumulated profit available each cycle. Redline also publishes an unusually granular set of payout conduct rules that are evaluated automatically at every request, covering single-trade adverse excursion, doubling down after a loss, pre-positioning around scheduled news, over-trading, profit concentration, sub-second trade duration and cross-account hedging. Optional paid add-ons called Powerups, priced from $300 to $1,000, stand down one conduct rule for one payout each; Diesel accounts are not eligible for them.

How it compares

The table below places the $50K Electric evaluation against three other futures evaluations at the same account size that share the same $2,000 end-of-day trailing maximum loss and the same 90% profit split, so the remaining differences are price, profit target and daily loss limit. Competitor figures are list prices recorded on PropFirmMap on the extraction dates shown and were not re-checked live for this article.

Firm	Plan	Price	Profit target	Daily loss limit	Recorded
Redline	50K Electric Eval	$95	$2,750	None	2026-08-20
CypherTicks	CypherOne 50K	$109	$3,000	$1,000	2026-08-04
Zenit Funding	EXPERT 50K ZERO	$115	$3,000	$1,000	2026-08-04
Tradeify	Growth $50K	$145	$3,000	$1,250	2026-07-30

On this comparison Redline is the cheapest of the four at list price, sets the lowest dollar profit target of the four, and is the only one of the four with no daily loss limit recorded. The trade-off is not in these columns. The three comparators do not publish a conduct-rule framework of the depth Redline applies at payout, and Redline's evaluation expires after 25 days while a funded account can be forfeited after 14 days without a placed trade. The cheaper entry and looser intraday risk rule are paid for with a tighter clock and a more prescriptive payout review.

Pros and cons

Pros. No daily loss limit on any style, size or phase, which removes the single most common cause of a failed futures evaluation. A 5.5% profit target, below the 6% that is standard among the comparators above. A flat 90/10 split from the first payout, with no scaling requirement to reach it.

Cons. The evaluation expires 25 days after purchase, and both evaluation and funded accounts are forfeitable after 14 consecutive days without a placed trade. Payout approval runs through seven automated conduct checks, and the published thresholds can deny a payout for behaviour a trader may not consider a rule breach, such as five instances of doubling position size after a loss within the same cycle. Market data carries extra cost outside the headline price: Level 2 depth is $50 per month, and anyone answering yes to the professional-trader question at checkout is charged $1,000 per month per platform in professional data fees.

Reputation

Redline's TrustPilot profile, claimed in March 2026, showed a TrustScore of 3.5 from 33 reviews when it was read on 2026-08-20, all 33 posted in the preceding 12 months. The profile is genuinely divided rather than uniformly positive or negative: 5-star reviews describe payouts received in full, evaluation resets granted as a courtesy and funded accounts manually restored after an inactivity breach, while 1-star reviews describe payouts denied under the conduct rules and delays between approval and payment. Redline replies publicly to negative reviews and has responded to 61% of them, in several cases disputing the reviewer's account of events. TrustPilot's own summary describes the review base as deeply divided on payment.

One caveat on the firm's own marketing: the homepage displays a "Lifetime payouts" counter reading $0 directly above a block of payout certificates showing individual amounts between $502 and $2,000, and that certificate block repeats twice with several near-duplicate sequential entries. Both were present on 2026-08-20. We cannot reconcile the counter with the certificates and are not treating either as evidence of payout volume.

Verdict

Redline Futures Funding suits futures traders whose strategy is incompatible with a daily loss limit and who trade often enough to clear 8 trading days and 6 winning days of $130 inside a 25-day evaluation window. At $95 for a $50K Electric evaluation with a $2,750 target and no daily loss cap, the entry terms are cheaper and looser than the three comparators measured above. It suits traders less well if they trade infrequently, since both the 25-day evaluation clock and the 14-day inactivity rule penalise that directly, or if they scale position size aggressively after a loss, which the published conduct rules treat as a denial trigger. The reasonable approach is to read the rules page and the conduct thresholds in full before purchase, and to plan around the stated 14-business-day payout window rather than the homepage's instant-payout copy.
