MyFundedPerps Prime Plan Deep-Dive: 12% Target, 5% Static Drawdown, Who It Suits

The MyFundedPerps Prime plan is the high-target, mid-drawdown option in the lineup: a 12% profit target, a 5% static maximum drawdown, and a 3% daily loss limit, on a 1-step evaluation with no time limit, no minimum trading days, and no consistency rule. This deep-dive walks through the verified rules, the drawdown math before and after your first payout, current pricing, and the trader profile Prime actually fits. Every figure comes from the official docs at docs.myfundedperpetuals.com and the site FAQ.

MyFundedPerps Prime plan rules at a glance

Percentages are always based on the starting balance. The target is measured on realized balance; loss limits are measured on equity including open-position P/L. On a $100K Prime account, you pass at $112,000 realized, the daily allowance is $3,000 from start-of-day equity, and the initial max loss floor is $95,000.

How the 5% static drawdown works

The max loss limit (MLL) is static: starting balance minus 5%, and it never trails profit highs. If a $100K Prime account grows to $110,000, the floor stays at $95,000. On the first funded withdrawal, the MLL locks permanently to the starting balance, $100,000, forever. Equity exactly at the locked floor is allowed; falling below it breaches.

The payout amount matters. Whatever you leave above the starting balance after a withdrawal becomes your extra drawdown buffer, and requesting the maximum leaves a $0 buffer, which closes the account. The full mechanics with worked numbers are in myfundedperps-static-drawdown.

Daily loss mechanics

The daily allowance is 3% of the starting balance, measured from start-of-day equity including open P/L: $3,000 on a $100K account. The trading day resets at midnight New York time (04:00 UTC during EDT, 05:00 UTC during EST, following DST). If start-of-day equity is $105,000, that day's floor is $102,000. Reaching or falling below the daily floor fails the account, and the reset never reopens a failed account or moves the max loss floor.

The useful Prime-specific observation: with a 5% total drawdown against a 3% daily limit, you can survive one near-max losing day and still have drawdown left, unlike Select where the two numbers are equal. That single structural difference changes how forgiving the plan feels.

Pricing

List prices for the Prime evaluation (verified against client screenshots and docs, September 2026; check the challenge selector for current pricing):

The 90/10 profit split upgrade costs an additional 20% and is checkout-only; it cannot be added later. Fees buy evaluation access, not trading deposits. Refunds can be requested within 48 hours of purchase only with zero trading activity, minus a non-refundable $25 fee.

Trading costs against a 12% target

Commissions run 0.03% per fill on crypto, 0.0025% on forex, and 0.005% on stocks, commodities, and indices, charged on entry and exit with maker and taker at the same rate. Hourly swap fees hit both longs and shorts: 0.03% daily on crypto, 0.015% daily on stocks, commodities, and indices, and 0.005% daily on forex, charged on the UTC hour boundary on notional at the mark price. Commissions and swap fees debit your balance directly and reduce loss-rule headroom like a realized loss. A 12% target means more trading or more holding than a 9% target, so these frictions compound; myfundedperps-fees-breakdown has the full schedule.

Who the MyFundedPerps Prime plan suits

Prime fits traders who:

• Have a proven strategy with enough expectancy to clear 12% and want a wider 5% drawdown in exchange
• Swing trade or hold positions across sessions, where the extra 2% of total room versus Select absorbs normal adverse movement
• Can accept a higher fee than Select as the cost of a more forgiving risk budget
• Do not need the widest cushion available, which is Signature's 6%

It is a poor fit if your strategy's realistic monthly return makes 12% a grind, or if you know you need maximum drawdown room and should be pricing Signature instead. Exposure caps and leverage figures (BTC and ETH 10x with $1,000,000 caps at launch, forex 50x, indices 12x, most altcoins 3x) are as of September 2026 and may have changed since; see myfundedperpetuals.com/exposure-caps and myfundedperps-markets-guide.

Passing and getting funded on Prime

Reach 12% realized without breaching either loss rule, then follow the funding path: Sumsub identity verification (reusable across accounts), customer agreement, funded account. Allocation caps are $300K total per trader and $100K per model, so all your Prime accounts share one $100K Prime allowance; a pass that would exceed a limit goes to Funding Review. On the funded account, risk rules continue, news trading is restricted around red-folder events (the 3-zone window is covered in myfundedperps-news-trading-rules), and the 7-day inactivity rule applies. Payouts opened September 11, 2026: $100 gross minimum ($80 net at 80/20, $90 at 90/10), one request per New York calendar day, paid via Rise after manual review, with a 10% boost if you take store credit. See myfundedperps-payouts-guide for the mechanics.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Prime 12% target realistic with a 5% drawdown?

That depends entirely on your strategy's expectancy and drawdown profile. Prime trades a higher target for a wider floor than Select. Traders with a verified edge and typical drawdowns under 5% tend to find it workable; without that data, Select's lower target is the safer starting point.

Does open profit count toward the 12% target?

No. The profit target is measured on realized balance only. Open P/L counts toward the loss rules, though, since both loss limits use equity including open-position profit or loss.

What happens to the drawdown after my first payout?

On the first funded withdrawal, the max loss floor locks permanently to the starting balance. Profit left above the starting balance becomes your drawdown buffer; withdrawing the maximum leaves a $0 buffer and closes the account.

Can I hold trades over the weekend on Prime?

Crypto trades around the clock, and swap fees keep charging hourly during closures using the latest valid mark. Other asset classes can have scheduled market closures. Check the specific market before holding, and remember every hourly swap charge reduces your loss-rule headroom.

Is there a consistency rule or time limit on Prime?

No. Prime has no consistency rule, no minimum trading days, and no evaluation time limit. Evaluations do require at least one executed trade per 30 consecutive calendar days under the inactivity rule.
