Running Sovren on MyFundedFutures.
MyFundedFutures (MFFU) supports NinjaTrader 8 and allows automated strategies, with conditions. This page covers the MFFU rules that matter for an automated NQ or MNQ strategy and how Sovren’s fixed stop fits the drawdown.
MFFU’s Fair Play policy allows automated strategies “tailored to their own specific settings” as long as they don’t aim to exploit simulated fills. High-frequency trading is not allowed, and live accounts using automation must follow CME rules.
Sovren is independent software. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by MyFundedFutures, and MyFundedFutures is a trademark of its owner. Prop firm rules change often; this page summarizes MyFundedFutures’s public help pages as of October 29, 2026. Always check the firm’s current rules before you enable any automated strategy on an evaluation or funded account.
MFFU rules that matter for an automated strategy
- Automation. Allowed if the strategy is tailored to your own settings and doesn’t aim to exploit the favorable fills of the simulated environment. High-frequency trading is not allowed on any plan.
- Platform. NinjaTrader Desktop is supported: you connect with your MFFU credentials through the NinjaTrader connection set to “Simulation”.
- Collaborative trading. MFFU prohibits working with others to run identical or opposite strategies across unconnected accounts. A commercial strategy is used by many traders, so ask MFFU support how this applies to you before you start.
- Drawdown. Builder and Pro use an end-of-day (EOD) trailing Maximum Loss Limit. Rapid comes in an EOD version and an intraday trailing version. On the Builder 50K, the MLL is $2,000 (or $1,500 with the add-on), only moves after the close, and locks at $100 above the starting balance.
- Daily loss limit. Builder has a $1,000 soft-pause daily loss limit at the 50K size: hitting it pauses you for the day instead of failing the account.
- Size. The Builder 50K allows 4 minis or 40 micros.
- Consistency. 30% in Rapid EOD evaluations, 50% in Rapid Intraday and Pro evaluations, none in the Builder evaluation, and 50% per payout cycle in the Builder sim funded stage. Going over doesn’t fail the account; you trade more days.
- News. MFFU’s Fair Play page says trading during tier 1 economic releases is restricted, while the Builder guide says news trading is unrestricted. Sovren skips scheduled high-impact news days by default, but check the rule for your plan.
- Close-out. No overnight positions; anything open at the session close is closed by the platform.
How Sovren trades, in prop-firm terms
- One session. Sovren measures the 9:30–9:35 AM ET opening range on 1-minute NQ or MNQ bars and only takes signals from 9:35 to 11:00 AM ET. Many days it does not trade at all.
- Fixed stop. Every trade is closed at market if price moves a set distance against it.
- Fixed target. Every trade has a fixed profit target that is much smaller than the stop. Most trades are meant to close at the target, but one full stop costs far more than one win makes, so a single losing day can give back many winning days.
- Daily limits. 2 trades per session by default (adjustable from 1 to 3), and one losing trade ends the day. In normal conditions the most Sovren can lose in a day is about one full stop.
- News days. Sovren sits out scheduled high-impact news sessions by default.
The stop is managed by the strategy, so NinjaTrader must stay running and connected while a trade is open, and in a fast market the exit can fill worse than the set stop distance. Prop firms measure their loss limits on open (unrealized) P&L in real time, so leave room for slippage. Full details are on how Sovren trades the open.
How Sovren’s fixed target and stop fit MFFU’s drawdown
Sovren is built for end-of-day drawdown accounts, so choose an EOD plan (Builder, Pro or Rapid EOD) rather than Rapid Intraday. On an EOD account, an open trade that dips and then reaches its target doesn’t drag the limit up during the day; the limit only moves on your closing balance.
The thing to watch is how a full stop at your size, plus slippage, compares with the MLL and the soft-pause daily loss limit. Because one losing trade already ends Sovren’s day, the DLL mostly matters if your size or slippage could push a single stop past it. Sovren’s daily profit is capped by its fixed target and trade limit, so very large single days, the thing consistency rules guard against, are unlikely at small sizes.
Choosing a size on MyFundedFutures accounts (general guidance)
- Start small. Begin with the smallest size the account allows, often MNQ, and only size up once you have seen how Sovren behaves on that account.
- Check the drawdown against losing days. Make sure the firm’s maximum loss limit, measured on open P&L, can absorb more than one losing day in a row at your size, with room left for slippage, before the limit has trailed up.
- Respect the firm’s limits. Stay within the firm’s contract limits and any daily loss limit, and recheck them before you start, since firms change their rules.
The live record on the results page is traded on 2 NQ contracts; don’t copy that size onto a small prop account. See running Sovren on MNQ for how micros fit smaller accounts.
Other sizes and plans have different limits; check the current plan guide on MFFU’s help center for your account.
This is general information, not financial advice or a recommendation to trade any size. Choose your own size based on your own risk tolerance and your firm’s current rules.
