Elite trades real capital by risk-team invitation; standard Funded accounts use simulated capital.

Per contract per side: dxFeed $0.75 micro / $2 mini; Tradovate $0.80 / $2.88. CME L1 included; other exchanges and L2 cost extra. Tradovate is limited to DLL accounts; evaluations cannot migrate.

Discretionary invitation to Elite with real capital and individual limits. The website also advertises a waiting list; automatic scaling is not guaranteed.

• Daily, Flex DLL and Flex No DLL: end-of-day (EOD) drawdown during evaluation and funded stages
• Instant Standard: end-of-day (EOD) drawdown
• One Step Standard: end-of-day (EOD) drawdown during evaluation

EOD trailing: the threshold follows the highest closing value and never decreases. It locks at the initial balance when reached or after the first payout. Subsequent loss room consists of the profits left in the account.

Daily, Flex DLL and Flex No DLL: unlimited evaluation time.

New purchases: 90-day evaluation; Instant accounts have no expiry. No monthly renewal fees for purchases from 22 October 2026 at 18:00. Older accounts retain their renewal terms.

One Step Standard: none; the evaluation can be passed in one trading day.

Core: no minimum evaluation days. Rapid: the help center specifies 3 evaluation days and consistency.

One Step Standard, Flex DLL and Flex No DLL: $0 activation fee.

Evaluation resets and up to two funded or Instant resets. Help articles exclude promotional accounts from resets, although the Welcome Futures checkout displays a reset price. Confirm before purchasing a Welcome reset.

Core DLL and funded Rapid Daily: the checkout specifies one soft closure and account termination on the second breach. Older Core DLL articles still describe an immediate hard breach.

Core and Instant: up to 10 funded accounts. Rapid: up to 5. One Welcome account per user. Unlimited evaluations; passed accounts can wait for an activation slot. Futures limits are separate from CFD/crypto limits.

Only self-developed or transparent systems with full source access and control over their logic. No commercial black-box bots, HFT or arbitrage.

Allowed for security or connectivity, never to conceal identity or bypass restrictions.

Scalping and microscalping are allowed with a minimum trade duration of 10 seconds.

No HFT or tick scalping. Payouts require the 15-second rule: at least half of trades and profits must come from trades exceeding that threshold, as described in payout help.

Position Loss plans aggregate all trades in the same market, including fees, spread and slippage. Limit: 1% in evaluation and 0.5% funded/Instant. Two soft closures; the third breach ends the account. Rapid Futures does not use this limit.

Copy trading is allowed between accounts owned by the same person. You can copy trades freely across your own AquaFunded Futures accounts without violations for internal account copying.

Closure after 8 calendar days without trading. Opening or closing a trade resets the timer; an open position pauses it.
