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

Traders may enter the live-account review pool after payout 5, significant lifetime payouts, exceptional simulated-funded performance or a previous live transition. Selection is always at Finotive Futures' discretion.

Every 5 days; five payouts before account review.

On demand once all requirements are met.

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.

• $100K: $2,500 first payout; $3,000 thereafter
• $150K: $3,000 first payout; $3,500 thereafter

$500 before the 90% reward split.

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.

All positions must be closed and KYC and compliance checks must be complete before requesting a payout.

Payout requests are processed within 24 to 48 hours.

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

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

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

• 1-Step: EOD trailing, based on the highest end-of-day balance; it locks at the initial balance once the Profit Buffer is reached.
• Instant: intraday trailing, following the highest balance or open equity.
• Reaching the maximum drawdown is a hard breach.

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

Applies only to 1-Step Funded accounts and must remain in the account: $1,000 on $25K, $2,000 on $50K, $3,000 on $100K and $4,500 on $150K. Each payout also requires new profit equal to 1% of the initial balance above the buffer. Instant accounts use a recurring payout milestone instead: $1,450, $3,000, $5,000 and $8,000 respectively.

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

Unlimited evaluation accounts. Total funded allocation across 1-Step and Instant accounts is capped at $1,000,000.

No evaluation deadline; the inactivity limit applies.

No time limit for the 1-Step evaluation. Accounts close after 15 consecutive calendar days without a trade.

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 The reviewed sources do not publish a One or Signature activation fee.

No activation fee or recurring subscription.

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.

• 1-Step evaluation: none
• 1-Step Funded: 3 per payout cycle
• Instant: 5 per payout cycle

A profitable day requires at least 0.25% of the initial account balance in realised profit.

Monthly subscription; platform prices are listed in each challenge.

One-time purchase fee. No subscription or automatic rebilling, and no activation fee after passing.

• 1-Step evaluation: a discounted reset can be purchased within 14 calendar days of a breach.
• 1-Step Funded: up to 2 resets before the first payout, within 14 days of the breach; each costs 5 times the evaluation fee.
• Instant: no standard reset; the same size can be repurchased at a reduced price within 3 calendar days of a breach.

Calculated from the end-of-day balance. A breach is soft: positions are closed and trading stops for that day; the account is not failed. The new daily limit on 25K 1-Step evaluations applies only to new purchases; existing accounts retain their original rules.

The 1-Step evaluation can be passed in one trading day.

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.

Bots, EAs and personal automated strategies are allowed if they do not exploit latency, feed errors or the simulated environment.

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

Hedging within one account is allowed, including mini versus micro positions. Opposing or correlated hedges across separate accounts or prop firms are prohibited.

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

Microscalping is allowed, but no more than 50% of total profit may come from trades held for less than 30 seconds.

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.

Allowed only between accounts personally owned and controlled by the same trader, including their accounts at other prop firms. Third-party signals, accounts and copy services 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.

Allowed without restrictions during the 1-Step evaluation. On 1-Step Funded and Instant accounts, orders cannot be opened, closed or triggered from 2 minutes before until 2 minutes after high-impact news.

Account closes after 30 consecutive days without trading.

15 consecutive calendar days without a trade is a hard breach and permanently closes the account.

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.

No consistency rule during the 1-Step evaluation. At payout, one day may represent at most 40% of cycle profit on 1-Step Funded accounts and 20% on Instant accounts.

Positions cannot be carried through the Friday close into the Sunday reopen.

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.

Allowed when used responsibly within contract and drawdown limits. Aggressive exposure may be reviewed as gambling behaviour.
