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

Core and Instant: every 10 active sessions. Rapid Daily: after one session; Rapid Futures 3D: every 3 sessions. Rapid closes after the fifth payout.

Flex: every 5 winning days. Direct: on demand once the profit goal and payout rules are met. Processing within 2 business days.

The website advertises processing within 48 hours or a 100% split on that payout. Bank transfer or USDC ERC-20 according to the help center.

Up to 50% of profits per request, before the split. Core/Instant 50K: $1,500/$2,000/$2,500 for payouts 1-2/3-4/5+; 100K: $2,000/$2,500/$3,000. Rapid Daily 50K: $1,000 for the first two, then $1,500; 100K: $1,500/$2,000. Rapid 3D 50K: $2,000; 100K: $2,000 for the first two, then $3,000. After the first payout, new profits of at least 50% of the next requested amount are required.

Flex: 50% of cycle profits, capped at $2,000 / $2,500 / $3,000 for $50K / $100K / $150K. Direct: $1,000 / $2,000 / $3,000 / $3,500 per request for $25K / $50K / $100K / $150K.

No published minimum.

Flex: $500 / $1,000 / $1,500 for $50K / $100K / $150K. Direct: $500 on all sizes.

Direct: reach the overall profit goal of $1,500 / $3,000 / $6,000 / $9,000 for $25K / $50K / $100K / $150K before requesting a payout. Remaining profits provide the drawdown cushion after withdrawal.

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.

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.

Unlimited paid resets during Flex evaluation only. No resets on Flex funded or Direct accounts.

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

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.

EOD trailing, calculated on closing balance. After a withdrawal, the maximum-loss floor locks permanently at the initial starting balance.

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.

Soft breach: reaching the daily limit pauses trading for the rest of the day. Direct $25K has no daily loss limit; Flex can remove it with an add-on.

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.

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.

Flex evaluation: 30 days; paid extensions available in the dashboard. Direct: no evaluation time limit.

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

Flex evaluation: no fixed minimum, but the 50% consistency rule applies. Direct: no evaluation.

Flex only, selected at checkout: increase split to 100% (+15% fee), remove daily loss limit (+15%), or add $250 to maximum loss allowance (+15%). All three: +35%. No add-ons on Direct.

Flex and Direct use a fixed split instead of the former payout tiers. Flex offers an optional 100% split at checkout.

Maximum 5 active accounts across Flex evaluation, Flex funded and Direct combined.

No activation fee or recurring subscription.

Flex payouts require 5 winning days: at least $150 / $200 / $250 daily profit for $50K / $100K / $150K.

One-time payment. No recurring monthly subscription.

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.

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.

Micro scalping not allow (trades executed within seconds to under a minute, targeting small profits, typically less than 3 points.

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.

EA and copy trading enabled by default on Flex and Direct, subject to trading rules.

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

At least 1 trade every 2 weeks; after inactivity, a reminder gives 1 additional week before closure. Applies to evaluation and funded accounts.

Core: 30% funded and Instant, none during evaluation. Rapid: 40% during evaluation; none for funded Rapid Daily. Rapid Futures 3D: 40% per funded cycle. Resets after each payout.

Flex evaluation: best day at most 50% of evaluation profit. Flex funded: at most 40% of cycle profit, reset after each payout. Direct: at most 25% of total returns. Exceeding the ratio delays passing or payouts; it does not breach the account.
