MyFundedFutures Core Plan 2026: Retired, and What Replaced It

Weighing the alternatives? Phidias Express to Live is the account we build. First, what happened to Core.

Is the MyFundedFutures Core plan still available?

No. You cannot buy a Core account today, and its help center article returns a 404. Core was still described on the MyFundedFutures homepage on 1 January 2026 and had gone from the visible page by 8 January. The line up now runs Builder, Rapid, Rapid EOD, Pro, and a legacy Flex range kept alive in the help center.

The 1 January capture still reads “Core and Scale plans enable you to earn payouts weekly”. The 8 January capture has no mention of either in the visible page. Scale went at the same time: Core and Scale were two rungs of one three tier ladder, and MyFundedFutures retired the ladder rather than a single plan.

What the Core plan actually was

Worth recording properly, because the page that held these figures has been deleted and most of what remains online about Core was copied from firms that never checked. This comes from MyFundedFutures’ own help center article on the plan, recoverable only from archive.

Three of those were the pitch: no daily loss limit, no buffer, and no consistency rule once funded. Hold on to all three, because all three are what changed.

The live account Core led to was small and specific: a $2,500 static balance, a $140 minimum balance, a $900 daily loss limit, a $250 minimum payout and 2 minis. Any simulated balance left on the account was forfeited at the transition.

Core vs Scale vs Pro, the ladder that no longer exists

MyFundedFutures published this comparison itself. All three plans shared one evaluation; only the payout terms differed.

Pro survived under its own name and now costs $265 at $50K rather than $227. Core and Scale did not survive, and nothing in the current line up reproduces Scale’s escalating ladder. If that was what you wanted, it no longer exists at this firm.

What replaced Core: Builder, with three rules moved

MyFundedFutures has never published a sentence naming a successor, so read this as a functional match and not an official one. But the role Core played is now Builder’s role exactly, and comparing them line by line is the only way to see what the swap cost.

What got better, and what got worse

It is a real trade, not a downgrade, and it is worth being precise about which half you land on.

Better: size and speed. Builder gives you 4 minis from your first trade. Core started you at 1 mini and made you climb a ladder to reach 3. Builder’s payout ceiling is $2,000 against Core’s $1,000, its published minimum is one trading day, and the first payout window opens 48 hours after your first trade rather than after five winning days of $100 each. On every dimension that measures how fast you can work, Builder wins clearly.

Better: the real price. The list price roughly doubled, $77 to $153. But MyFundedFutures’ own plan configuration applies the CLUB code to Builder, at 40% on 15 September 2026, taking the Default to $91.80 and the Add On variant to $75. That rate moves, and it was 50% five days earlier. At 40% the real entry point sits just below Core’s $77 on the Add On and above it on the Default.

Worse: a daily loss limit appeared. Core had none in evaluation or sim funded, and MyFundedFutures sold it on that. Builder $50K carries a $1,000 soft pause. It does not fail the account, it stops you for the session. Note that Builder $25K has no daily loss limit at any stage, so the smaller account is closer to old Core here than the $50K is.

Worse: a buffer appeared. This is the change with the most money attached and the one nobody mentions. Core stated plainly that it had no buffer zone: five winning days of $100 and you could withdraw. Builder requires you to clear $2,100 of realised profit before any payout request, plus $500 of net profit above it. On a $3,000 target, that is most of your evaluation gain locked behind the first withdrawal.

Worse: the consistency rule moved to the wrong end. On Core, 50% applied during the evaluation and disappeared the moment you passed. On Builder it is reversed: nothing to clear to pass, then 50% checked at every payout request, resetting after each approved one.

For a trader who passes and moves on, that is the better deal. For one who holds the account and takes all five payouts, it is five separate checks instead of one. Core asked once. Builder asks every time you want to be paid.

Which plan should you actually be looking at? Four questions on what brought you here, what appealed about Core, how you want to be paid and how much speed matters. No email.

The pages that still quote a retired plan

This is why the question keeps getting asked, and it is worth being precise rather than indignant about it.

The Core blog post is still live on myfundedfutures.com. MyFundedFutures has added a line at the top: “This article is about a legacy plan no longer on offer, explore newer MyFundedFutures plans better suited for you or take the challenge now to get funded.” That is a fair disclosure and it links onward to the current plans.

The body below it is untouched. It still reads “At just $77 for a $50,000 evaluation account”, still closes with “For only $77, you’ll know exactly where you stand”, and still carries a button labelled “Get started with the Core account now” pointing at the registration page, where no Core account exists. The Scale and Flex posts follow the same pattern, still quoting $127 and $107.

The help center still links to two pages that return 404. The live accounts FAQ, which is current and maintained, sends readers to a Core Plan article and a Scale Plan article for their position size and daily loss limits. Both links are dead. We checked them on 14 September 2026, which is also how the specification above was recovered: from the archived copy of a page MyFundedFutures still points its own customers to.

None of that is deception. It is what happens to a documentation set when a firm retires a product line quickly, and MyFundedFutures moved fast at the turn of 2026. But it does mean a trader researching the Core plan today can land on a live page, on the firm’s own domain, quoting a price for something they cannot buy. If that is how you got here, this is the correction.

Where we differ

Retiring a plan is normal. Every firm in this sector reprices, renames and consolidates, and MyFundedFutures replaced a three tier ladder with something faster and larger. That is a defensible product decision.

What it costs the trader is the ability to plan. Someone who bought Core in November 2025 for its three selling points, no daily loss limit, no buffer and no consistency rule once funded, would have found all three reversed in the successor, and the plan itself withdrawn, before they reached a fifth payout.

At Phidias we keep three account families rather than renaming them: Express to Live, Fundamental and Premium. On the rule Core traders lost, here is our position stated exactly: no consistency rule on the Express to Live evaluation and none on LIVE accounts, and a 30% rule on funded CASH accounts. We publish it at that level of detail so nobody has to reconstruct it later from an archive.

And the destination is the part we will not move. Sim payouts are real money, but a simulated account is not a live one. Real capital exists only once a trader converts to a LIVE account, and we say which stage is which on every page rather than letting the word “funded” do the work.

MyFundedFutures Core plan: frequently asked questions

Is the MyFundedFutures Core plan still available?

No. Core was still described on the MyFundedFutures homepage on 1 January 2026 and had gone from the visible page by 8 January. There is no Core option at checkout today, and its help center article now returns a 404. The current line up is Builder, Rapid, Rapid EOD, Pro and a legacy Flex range.

What replaced the MyFundedFutures Core plan?

Builder occupies the role Core held: cheapest entry, capped payouts early, a live account at the fifth one. MyFundedFutures has never published a statement naming a successor, so treat that as a functional match rather than an official one. The plan that replaced Core in the marketing was Rapid, which is a different product: daily uncapped payouts, a 90/10 split, and drawdown that turns intraday once you are funded.

What were the MyFundedFutures Core plan rules?

On the $50K sim funded account: a $2,000 maximum loss limit, no daily loss limit, no consistency rule once funded, an 80/20 split, no buffer, and contracts that scaled with your balance from 1 mini up to 3. The evaluation carried a $3,000 target and a 50% consistency rule. T1 news trading was allowed. These come from MyFundedFutures’ own help center article on the plan, now deleted and readable only in archive.

What were the MyFundedFutures Core payout rules?

You qualified after five winning days of $100 each, with weekly payouts possible. Each payout had a $250 minimum and a $1,000 maximum until five payouts were achieved. Your maximum loss limit moved to $100 and went static after the first payout. There was no buffer to clear, which MyFundedFutures stated explicitly.

What was the MyFundedFutures Core plan profit split?

80/20 in the trader’s favour, stated in the plan’s sim funded parameter table. That is the same split Builder, Pro and Flex carry today. Only Rapid and Rapid EOD moved to 90/10, and that change is dated 12 January 2026, immediately after Core was withdrawn.

What was the MyFundedFutures Core plan scaling rule?

Contracts scaled with your sim funded balance in three steps: below $1,000 you could trade 1 mini or 5 micros, from $1,000 to $2,000 it was 2 minis or 10 micros, and above $2,000 it was 3 minis or 15 micros. MyFundedFutures confirmed that scaling applied to the sim funded stage only, never to the evaluation. Builder dropped the ladder entirely and gives you 4 minis from the start.

What was the difference between Core and Scale?

Same evaluation, different payout ceilings. MyFundedFutures priced the $50K Core at $77 and the $50K Scale at $127. Core capped every payout at $1,000 until five were completed; Scale escalated from $1,500 to $3,500 instead. Both reached a live account after five consecutive payouts and both paid 80/20. Scale was retired alongside Core, and nothing in the current line up reproduces its escalating ladder.

Could you trade news on the MyFundedFutures Core plan?

Yes. The Core sim funded parameter table listed T1 news trading as allowed, which was unusual then and is unusual now. Builder inherited that freedom: news trading is fully unrestricted during its evaluation and sim funded stages. It did not survive elsewhere, as T1 releases are barred on funded Rapid accounts and on funded Pro accounts.

What was the MyFundedFutures Core plan max payout?

$1,000 per request, with a $250 minimum, until five payouts were achieved. What happened at the fifth payout is the one point where MyFundedFutures contradicted itself: its blog said the cap was lifted, while its help center said the fifth payout moved you to a live account with a $2,500 static balance. Both pages were live at the same time.

Is Builder cheaper than Core was?

With the discount code, yes. The $50K Core listed at $77. Builder lists at $153, or $125 for the Add On variant, and MyFundedFutures’ own plan configuration applies the CLUB code to both, at 40% on 15 September 2026, giving $91.80 and $75. The rate moves, and was 50% five days earlier. At 40% the Add On lands just below Core’s $77 and the Default above it.
