Our analysis
Drawdown: the rule that decides
Elite Trader Funding applies a trailing intraday drawdown. My Funded Futures applies a trailing (end of day) drawdown capped at 4 %. This is the single most consequential difference between the two. A static drawdown is measured once, from the starting balance, and never moves; a trailing drawdown follows your equity upward, so a winning streak raises the floor you can no longer fall below. Intraday trailing is stricter still, because it tracks unrealised peaks reached inside the session — profit you never actually banked can permanently raise your loss threshold.
What reaches your account
Elite Trader Funding keeps 100 % of profits, allows a first withdrawal after 8 days, then pays a la demande, approbation le jour meme. My Funded Futures keeps 90 % of profits, allows a first withdrawal after 1 days, then pays Rapid : toutes les 24 h (minimum 500 $) ; Builder : toutes les 48 h ; Pro : cycle de 14 jours (minimum 1 000 $, plafond 100 000 $ par cycle). Payout frequency deserves as much attention as the split itself: a slightly lower share paid every two weeks compounds faster than a headline percentage locked behind a monthly cycle and a long first-withdrawal delay.
Where you actually trade
Elite Trader Funding is the only one of the two to offer rithmic. My Funded Futures covers quantower, volumetrica, which its rival does not. Platform choice is not cosmetic: order execution, available order types and the reliability of your automation all depend on it, and switching mid-evaluation is rarely possible.
