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 the current profit buffer per reward, capped at $2,500 ($50K), $3,500 ($100K) or $5,000 ($150K).
- Futures Instant: by reward number, up to $2,000 / $2,500 / $3,000 on $50K and $2,500 / $3,000 / $3,500 on $100K (rewards 1-3, 4-5 and 6+).
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.
$100
No published minimum.
Futures Prime: 5 profitable days of at least $150 each (not consecutive), one request every 7 days, and a balance at least $0.01 above the last post-payout balance.
- Futures Instant: one request every 5 days for amounts above $500, after meeting the cycle's minimum profit goal ($3,000 on $50K, $6,000 on $100K), which resets after each payout.
Core and Instant: every 10 active sessions. Rapid Daily: after one session; Rapid Futures 3D: every 3 sessions. Rapid closes after the fifth payout.
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.
Available for Futures Challenges with at least one trading day remaining; unavailable on Earning accounts.
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.
Optional Level 2 market data is available. Challenge Extend costs $99 / $189 / $289 by account size.
Buying power scales from end-of-day profit and is adjusted daily at 16:00 CT.
After passing the Challenge the account moves through a level ladder. Each level has its own profit target and drawdown limit; reaching the target unlocks a payout and promotes the account to the next level, with more capital, more drawdown flexibility and a higher profit share. Smaller accounts run through around 10 levels.
Discretionary invitation to Elite with real capital and individual limits. The website also advertises a waiting list; automatic scaling is not guaranteed.
Trailing on end-of-day balance. It stops at the starting balance and never moves down.
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.
80%
Daily Pause is recalculated from the previous day's closing balance at 16:15 CT. It closes positions and pauses trading until the next day.
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.

Respect Points Program (Affiliate)
10% commission on each referred trader turns into points for the original trader. Points accumulate per challenge purchased via your affiliate link.

One-time fee; no subscription.
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.
VPN is allowed for individual traders, provided it is not used to mask shared access or coordinated activity between accounts. Multiple accounts accessed from the same IP / network is prohibited.
Allowed for security or connectivity, never to conceal identity or bypass restrictions.
Hedging within the same account is allowed for risk-management purposes, provided no Hedging Arbitrage is involved. Hedging between two accounts (BUY on one + SELL on the other) is 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.
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 up to 5 accounts (manual or automated). If you copy the same strategy to more than 5 accounts, we reserve the right to deny upgrades of additional accounts. You may only copy from external accounts that are yours (not from other traders). Copying between your Futures Challenges and Futures Earning accounts is prohibited.
- Futures Instant: allowed between 2 accounts.
21 consecutive days without placing a single trade → the account is considered inactive and breached. Holding an overnight position or having an unexecuted pending order does NOT count as activity. The countdown starts when the account is purchased/created.

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