Futures prop firm with no daily drawdown: Hero X
Hero X is the FundedHero Futures plan with no daily drawdown limit, in the evaluation or on the funded account. The only loss limit is the end-of-day trailing max drawdown.
What a daily drawdown is
A daily drawdown, often called a daily loss limit, caps how much an account can lose in a single trading day. At a typical prop firm, hitting it either ends your day or ends the account. At FundedHero Futures, where a plan has one, reaching it breaches the account immediately. It starts fresh at each 6:00 PM ET trading-day reset.
A daily limit sits on top of the max drawdown. That means two numbers to manage, and on a volatile morning the daily limit is usually the one you hit first.
Which FundedHero Futures plans have a daily drawdown
| Plan | Evaluation | Funded account |
|---|---|---|
| Hero X | None | None |
| Hero ONE and ZERO 1-Step | None | $900 to $3,500 by size |
| Hero ONE and ZERO 2-Step | None in Phase 1; $1,275 to $4,500 in Phase 2 | $1,700 to $6,000 by size |
| Hero Live | No evaluation | None on $10K and $25K; $1,200 to $3,000 from $50K |
Hero X is the only plan with no daily drawdown at any stage. Hero Live’s $10K and $25K accounts have none either, but its larger sizes do. The 1-Step evaluations and 2-Step Phase 1 also skip it, but a daily limit applies once you’re funded, and in 2-Step Phase 2.
What still protects a Hero X account
No daily limit doesn’t mean no limits. These rules still apply on Hero X:
- End-of-day trailing max drawdown. If a day closes at or below your drawdown level, the account is breached. See the amounts below.
- Contract limits. 2 minis / 20 micros on $25K, 4 / 40 on $50K, 6 / 60 on $100K and 10 / 100 on $150K, open at one time.
- Daily auto-close. Positions are closed automatically at 4:10 PM ET. There’s no overnight or weekend holding.
- The 30-Second Rule. Wait at least 30 seconds after each execution before the next on the same account. With 4 or fewer violations you receive only 25% of the eligible profit split; 5 or more breach the account and reset it to its original phase.
- Prohibited practices. High-risk “all-in at max size” setups and account cycling aren’t allowed on any plan.
- Evaluation consistency. No single day may be more than 50% of your evaluation profit, so you can’t pass on one oversized day.
| Hero X account | Evaluation max drawdown | Funded max drawdown |
|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,250 | $1,000 |
| $50K | $2,200 | $2,000 |
| $100K | $3,300 | $3,000 |
| $150K | $4,500 | $4,500 |
No daily limit doesn’t mean more total risk. The max drawdown is your whole risk budget, and one bad day can use all of it.
Example: the same bad day on two plans
Compare two $50K funded accounts that each start the day at $50,000 with a $2,000 max drawdown, so the drawdown level is $48,000 on both:
- Hero ZERO 1-Step funded also has a $1,500 daily drawdown.
- Hero X funded has no daily drawdown.
A rough morning takes each account down $1,600, then you recover and close at $49,000.
| Hero ZERO 1-Step funded | Hero X funded | |
|---|---|---|
| $1,600 loss in the morning | Reaches the $1,500 daily limit: breached immediately | No daily limit; $48,400 is still above the $48,000 level |
| Close at $49,000 | Account already breached | Account fine, $1,000 of room left |
Now suppose the loss keeps going and you close at $47,900. That’s below the $48,000 level, so both accounts are breached. Removing the daily limit changes when a loss ends the account, not how much you can lose in total.
Who a no-daily-drawdown plan suits
Hero X tends to suit traders who:
- need room intraday, for example to sit through a volatile open or a news release (news trading is allowed);
- would rather manage one risk number than two;
- want no consistency rule once funded and a 90% split from the first payout.
It’s a weaker fit if you want the largest contract limits, or if you rely on a firm-imposed daily stop to stop trading on a bad day. In that case, set your own daily stop, or choose a plan with a daily limit built in.
Frequently asked questions

Hero X. It has no daily drawdown limit in the evaluation or on the funded account. Only the end-of-day trailing max drawdown applies.

Do any other FundedHero Futures plans skip the daily drawdown?
Partly. The 1-Step evaluations and 2-Step Phase 1 have no daily limit, and Hero Live’s $10K and $25K accounts have none. Hero X is the only plan with no daily drawdown in both the evaluation and the funded account.
Can I trade news on a no-daily-drawdown account?
Yes. News trading is allowed, including high-impact releases like NFP, CPI and FOMC. Expect slippage and fast moves that can test your max drawdown, and size accordingly.

Rules can change; the official rules pages are the current reference. Futures trading involves substantial risk.
