Payout policy

Passing an evaluation, or buying a Direct to Funded account, opens an Elite Sim-Funded account. Payouts are requested from the trader dashboard once the cycle requirements are met, and the firm advertises same-day approval on sim payouts.

  • Cycle requirements: standard programs need 8 Active Trade Days for the first payout cycle and 10 for each cycle after. Direct to Funded needs 5, 10, 15 or 20 Active Trade Days per cycle depending on account size.
  • What counts as an Active Trade Day: a day with at least 200 USD in realised profit (100 USD on selected smaller accounts) that also reaches at least 23 percent of your best day's profit.
  • Safety net: realised profit equal to the account's maximum drawdown plus 100 USD must be banked before a payout is eligible. Reaching it also locks the drawdown floor permanently.
  • Amounts: a per-cycle minimum of 100 USD applies, with a per-cycle maximum that scales with account size and the number of cycles completed.
  • Simulated payout cap: 25,000 USD in cumulative payouts per trader, and a 150,000 USD lifetime simulated cap across re-entries.
  • LIVE ELITE: at 25,000 USD in cumulative payouts, or by selection after 5 payouts or 50 active trading days, the trader moves to a live capital account on an 80/20 split, with uncapped payouts, daily withdrawals on business days, a 250 USD minimum and a 48-hour approval guarantee.
  • Payment rails: payouts are processed through Rise, to a bank account in local currency or USD, or to a crypto wallet in USDC or USDT. The account or wallet must be in the trader's own name.
  • What voids one: a payout audit that finds unauthorised automation, hedging or trading on another person's behalf can reset the account, forfeit profits and end participation.

Trading rules

What Elite Trader Funding lets you do

Across all 14 plans, as recorded programme by programme.

  • News tradingAllowed on every plan
  • Copy tradingAllowed on every plan
  • Expert advisors (EAs)Not allowed on any plan
  • Weekend holdingAllowed on 4 of 14 plans
  • Overnight holdingAllowed on 4 of 14 plans

Elite Trader Funding programs trade U.S. exchange-listed futures only, on CME, CBOT, COMEX and NYMEX products. Forex spot, equities and options are not tradable.

  • News and economic releases: allowed. The firm states it places no restrictions or limitations on traders during major economic news events, while warning that execution during those windows can be volatile.
  • Holding overnight and over the weekend: only Diamond Hands and Direct to Funded accounts may hold positions through the close and across the weekend. On every other program all trades must be closed one minute before the traded instrument's market close.
  • Automation: artificial intelligence, bots, automated trading systems and other automated strategies may not be used unless expressly authorised in writing.
  • Trade copiers: permitted through the firm's approved partners and through platform features such as Tradovate group trading.
  • Hedging: hedging against yourself using the same or a correlated instrument, whether on one account or across several, is prohibited.
  • Trading for others: trading another person's account, including a member of your own household, is not allowed, and one account per user applies at registration.
  • Position limits: each account size carries a hard cap on contracts held at once, counted as 1 mini to 10 micros. Exceeding the cap can forfeit profits and close the account.
  • Activity: at least one placed trade per calendar week per account, and a login at least every 30 days, are required to keep a funded account in good standing.
Consistency

Consistency rules

Two separate consistency tests apply, and both are checked when a payout is requested.

The Active Trade Day test. A trading day only counts toward a payout cycle if it clears both a minimum dollar profit and a minimum share of your best day:

  • 1 Step, Static, End of Day and Diamond Hands: at least 200 USD in realised profit and at least 23 percent of your best day (100 USD applies instead of 200 USD on selected smaller accounts, including 10K, 25K 1 Step, 25K End of Day and 100K Static).
  • Direct to Funded 10K: 150 USD per day and 50 percent of your best day.
  • Direct to Funded 25K: 300 USD per day and 38 percent of your best day.
  • Direct to Funded 50K: 600 USD per day and 62 percent of your best day.
  • Direct to Funded 100K: 500 USD per day and 50 percent of your best day.

Your best trading day does not reset after a payout. It only resets when you set a new best day with a higher realised profit.

The Fast Track consistency rule. During a Fast Track evaluation your single best profitable day cannot exceed 40 percent of overall profit. At the funded stage that requirement becomes 30 percent consistency on overall profit.

Firm rules

Firm rules

Beyond the drawdown maths, several account rules decide whether a funded account survives.

  • The loss limit rule. Once an account is up 20 percent, the loss limit replaces the drawdown as the primary risk parameter: giving back more than 35 percent of accumulated profit can remove the account from the Elite Sim-Funded program and costs LIVE ELITE eligibility. The floor works out as the starting balance plus 65 percent of accumulated profit, and it is measured against total profit earned rather than the current balance, so taking payouts does not reset it. It is assessed at payout requests and in routine risk audits.
  • Minimum balance and safety net. The minimum balance is the lowest equity an account may reach. Banking realised profit equal to the maximum drawdown plus 100 USD locks that floor at the higher level and removes the original drawdown for payout eligibility.
  • Position limits. Contracts held at once are capped per account size, with 1 mini counted as 10 micros. Breaching the cap can forfeit profits and permanently close the account.
  • Activity. One placed trade per account per calendar week and a login at least every 30 days are required. Missing either can disable the account and void pending payouts.
  • Account limits. Most traders may hold up to 5 active Elite Sim-Funded accounts, with older grandfathered limits differing.
  • Resets. Evaluations can be reset from the dashboard for 47 USD, except Fast Track, which cannot be reset. Funded accounts can be reset up to ten times.
  • Eligibility. Residents and citizens of the countries the firm lists as restricted cannot purchase, obtain funding or receive payouts, and identity verification applies before a payout is released.
