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

After five payouts the account is reviewed for a possible live transition; it is not automatic. Initial 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.

Every 5 days; five payouts before account review.

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.

One and Signature: 5% of balance up to 75K and 4% on 100K and 150K. One additionally limits withdrawals to 50% of total profit. Instant: 5% at all sizes.

No published minimum.

500 USD

Positive net profit across the payout cycle. KYC and Trader Agreement. Shared wallets are not accepted; failed KYC means forfeiture of gains and account closure. Optional store credit is irrevocable and expires after one year.

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.

Liquidity-provider commissions vary by instrument and platform; check specifications.

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.

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.

End-of-day trailing; the threshold retains its pre-payout level unless Remove Lock on Payout is purchased.

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.

No fixed count; the $1 million limit is shared across evaluations, funded accounts and markets.

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.

No evaluation deadline; the inactivity limit applies.

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

Remove Lock on Payout: +25%. Payout Protector: +25%, Signature only. Optional add-ons; checkout indicates they are included in renewal.

One: none. Signature: 6% on 25K, 4% on 50K, 3% from 75K. Instant: 4%.

Instant: monthly subscription from the funded account. The reviewed sources do not publish a One or Signature activation fee.

One: 5 days with at least $100/150/200/250/300 on 25/50/75/100/150K. Instant: 5 days according to checkout. Signature: no explicit confirmed requirement.

Monthly subscription; platform prices are listed in each challenge.

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

The FAQ permits proprietary automation subject to restrictions, but the checkout catalogue flags EAs as disallowed. Obtain written confirmation for the selected plan and platform before using automation.

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

Permitted within one account. Coordinated opposing positions across accounts or firms are prohibited.

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.

Tick harvesting, full porting and sub-minute positions at or near the contract limit are prohibited.

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.

No universal per-trade percentage is published; gambling, all-in and abuse of margin, leverage or contract limits are prohibited.

Only between accounts owned by the same trader. Signals, passing services, group trading and EAs facilitating copy trading are prohibited.

Existing positions may remain open. No opening or closing within 3 minutes before or after high-impact news. Consequences include P&L removal, reduced leverage or account termination.

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

Account closes after 30 consecutive days without trading.

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.

One: 40% in evaluation and funded. Signature: 50% in both. Instant: 20%. If the best day exceeds the allowed share of total profit, continue trading until compliant.

Latency arbitrage, price or platform manipulation, spoofing/layering, bug exploitation, copying/external signals, third-party management, account sharing, multiple identities and excessive exposure.

Cross-account arbitrage, latency or pricing-error exploitation, insider trading, front-running, third-party passing strategies and changing strategy between evaluation and funded trading. All-in, gambling and excessive exposure are prohibited. Trading is reviewed before funded account issuance.

Close before the platform session ends.
