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.

By risk-team invitation; the transition cannot be requested or declined. Eligibility reference: at least ten payouts totaling USD 50,000, with possible earlier invitations. One live account per trader. At most 15% of the sim funded account size transfers; excess profit does not carry over. Paid professional data required.

On demand once all requirements are met.

Prime and Direct sim funded: every seven calendar days from the first trade of the cycle; after a payout the next trade starts a new cycle. Live: daily requests.

Payout requests are processed within 24 to 48 hours.

Processing within one hour of an eligible request, following a prior review of up to 24 business hours. Business days only; KYC or incomplete details may cause delays.

$500 before the 90% reward split.

Prime and Direct sim funded, by size: 25K, USD 250; 50K, USD 500; 100K, USD 1,000; 150K, USD 1,500. Rise requires at least USD 500 of the trader share. Live: USD 500 including the firm share.

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

KYC, agreement and interview before the first payout; account review for every request and further checks when required. After a payout the loss floor becomes the starting balance: retain enough profit to avoid touching it. Consistency resets even after a partial payout.

2.5% per payout. Minimum fee: USD 25 for bank wire or Rise; USD 5 for crypto.

• 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.

Failed challenges can be repurchased at any time. Funded accounts cannot be reset.

Direct Account: funded access without any evaluation phase.

1-Step Prime Challenge: single-phase evaluation with a profit target and consistency requirement.

Live program: whenever accumulated profit reaches 100% of the reference balance, the account grows by 10%. Payouts count toward profit and eligibility is reviewed on payout requests. The Forex scaling ladder does not automatically apply to Futures sim funded.

• 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.

Evaluation and sim funded: trails the highest end-of-day balance, not intraday unrealized peaks. It only rises and locks at the starting balance after earning the drawdown distance. A payout fixes the floor at the starting balance even if it had not locked yet. Touching it with balance or equity closes the account.

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.

Prime evaluation and sim funded: no daily cap. Direct: based on the previous closing balance; reaching it closes positions and pauses trading until the next day, without terminating the account for that isolated event. Maximum-loss breaches still terminate the account.

Combined sim funded and Direct: up to USD 500,000 or five accounts, whichever comes first. Combined Forex and Futures: USD 800,000. One live account may additionally be held.

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.

After a payout the balance must stay above the starting balance, which becomes the loss floor. Withdrawing all profit would leave no room above that limit.

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

At most five sim funded or Direct accounts, subject to total allocation; one additional live account. Unlimited evaluation purchases.

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

Unlimited on all plans.

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

None on any plan.

No activation fee or recurring subscription.

Sim funded: no monthly membership fee; Level 1 data included. Live: professional data, USD 130 per exchange per month or USD 520 for all four, without proration.

• 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.

Prime sim funded: five non-consecutive profitable days in every payout cycle, not only the first. Minimum daily profit: 25K, USD 100; 50K, USD 150; 100K, USD 200; 150K, USD 250. Direct has no profitable-day minimum.

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

1-Step Prime is a subscription that renews automatically every 30 days until passing or cancellation. It cannot be paused. Cancellation loses progress and returning requires a new purchase.

Each product split is listed in its challenge. The live program has its own split and starting-balance release requirements.

Size-based limits are listed on each challenge. Standard mini:micro ratio is 1:10; Micro Silver has double weighting, and MBT/MET count as minis. No progressive sim funded contract-scaling plan is documented. Live has separate limits.

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

Connections must remain stable and verifiable. VPNs, proxies or location masking are prohibited when they impair identity, location or account-control checks.

Legitimate connections and VPNs outside restricted countries are permitted. Own devices only; travel may require verification. Device or identity sharing may close all accounts.

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

Stop losses required in sim funded and Direct; without one, a trade is treated as unlimited risk. The per-idea risk rule does not apply during evaluation. No fixed three-minute stop-placement deadline is documented here.

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

There is no universal minimum holding time. A systematic pattern of sub-three-minute trades without a plan, tick scalping, HFT or latency exploitation is prohibited.

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

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.

Only own Hola Prime challenge or sim funded accounts within the same environment. The lead must have the lowest contract limit. Third-party copiers are used at the trader responsibility; external or other-person accounts cannot be copied.

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.

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

Evaluation and sim funded: complete at least one round-trip trade within each seven-day period. Live: suspension after 30 calendar days; opening or closing a trade counts as activity.

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.

1-Step Prime Challenge: 40%. Prime funded account: 35%. Direct Account: 20%.

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

Hedging across accounts or platforms; latency, feed, spread or exchange arbitrage; account or device sharing; coordinated/group trading; copying third parties; spoofing, layering and market or order-queue manipulation; volume inflation or artificial trades; HFT and algorithmic exploitation; non-viable simulated-fill strategies; gambling/account rolling; news straddling; and gap or illiquid-market exploitation.

Bots and partial or full automation; tick scalping and HFT; arbitrage, latency, errors and low-liquidity exploitation; grid, overexposure, account rolling and unsupported bets; copying external or other-person accounts; cross-account hedging; shared accounts or devices; unjustified strategy or contract-size changes to manipulate evaluations or payouts. Trading within 2% of a CME price limit is prohibited. Violations may forfeit profits and terminate accounts.

All open positions are automatically closed at 15:55 CT, five minutes before the daily close.

Close daily before 15:30 CT; the trader must be flat by 15:28 CT without relying on risk-team flattening. Observe earlier agricultural and holiday closes. Sunday-evening to Monday trading belongs to one session and is permitted.

Sim funded and Direct: 2% of the initial balance per idea on Tradovate, NinjaTrader and WealthCharts; legacy DX Futures accounts use 1%. Not applicable during evaluation. Overlapping positions and same-asset, same-direction re-entries within ten minutes are combined.
