Elite Trader Funding rules, verified (2026) — every tier, evaluation and funded

10 Elite Trader Funding

Targeted corrections checked October 5, 2026. Other fields retain their dated research; confirm your exact version and phase.

1-Step — 50KRecurring evaluation subscription every 30 days until passing, not one-time. Current checkout price must be confirmed; September 5 research contained superseded prices. Activation charges are separate.

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $3,000
Max drawdown: $2,000
Drawdown type: Live/intraday trailing — trails UP with open (unrealized) equity gains, not just realized profit
Daily loss limit: None
Consistency rule: None during evaluation itself (only an activity rule: at least one trade placed per week to keep the account active)
Min trading days: 5 (any calendar day a trade is placed counts; Sunday+Monday sessions count as one day). No maximum time limit to hit the target.
Max contracts: 8 minis / 80 micros (contract-type caps enforced independently — cannot stack mini + micro exposure to exceed the limit)
Other rules: $47 reset fee on breach instead of buying a new evaluation. All trades must be closed 1 minute before market close (no overnight/weekend holding on this plan).

Funded phase

Account kind: Elite Sim-Funded (simulated capital) → promotable to LIVE ELITE (real capital) per firm discretion or automatic benchmarks
Activation or monthly fee: See cost field — same fee menu (one-time ~$177 / Double-Down $47 / $87 monthly)
Drawdown: Trailing until a 'safety net' is reached (starting balance + $2,000 max drawdown + $100 realized profit); once hit, the floor converts to STATIC at starting-balance + $100 and no longer trails
Drawdown type: Trailing-to-static hybrid ('safety net' mechanism)
Daily loss limit: Not documented for the Elite Sim-Funded stage of the 1-Step plan (daily loss limit language only appears attached to End of Day / Diamond Hands / DTF products)
Consistency rule: Active Trade Day (ATD) rule gates every payout: a day only counts if realized profit ≥ the GREATER of $200 or 23% of your best day to date (setting a new best day raises the bar). Reward Cycle 1 needs 8 ATDs; Cycles 2-4 need 10 ATDs each.
Payout schedule: Sources indicate Elite Sim-Funded payouts are processed on a Mon/Wed cycle; a '48-hour reward guarantee' pays a $1,000 credit if ETF misses that window. LIVE ELITE pays daily on business days with the same 48-hour guarantee. Minimum withdrawal figures were not confirmed precisely (third-party sources say ~$100-$300 depending on plan) — treat as approximate. CONFIRMED 2026-09-16 (resolves a prior internal conflict between two ETF pages): reward-cycle max payout by cycle — $1,250 → $1,500 → $1,750 → $2,000 (Cycles 1→4+). Also clarified: the Elite Sim-Funded minimum withdrawal is $100/payout cycle; the separate $250 minimum applies only after graduating to LIVE ELITE real capital — these are two different stages, not a conflict. Source: elitetraderfunding.app/help/how-the-1-step-plan-works ; elitetraderfunding.app/payouts
Profit split: Up to 100% of simulated profit, capped at $25,000 lifetime per Elite Sim-Funded track (this is also the trigger threshold toward LIVE ELITE); overall lifetime sim-profit cap of $150,000 across resets/re-entries. LIVE ELITE = 80% trader / 20% firm, uncapped. NOTE: two official-domain pages gave conflicting max-per-cycle payout figures for the 50K 1-Step (one said Cycle-1 cap $1,000 / Cycle-2+ $1,250; a blog on the same domain said Cycle-1 $1,250 rising to $2,000 by Cycle-4) — unresolved conflict, flagged rather than guessed.
Scaling or contract limits: Max 5 active Elite Sim-Funded accounts per trader. Up to 3 free resets on a failed funded account without repassing the evaluation. Contract cap carries forward at 8 minis/80 micros.
Other rules: Loss Limit Rule: once the account has reached 20% profit, giving back more than 35% of ACCUMULATED profit (i.e., floor = starting balance + 65% of accumulated profit) triggers account removal and disqualifies the trader from LIVE ELITE — checked at every payout request and in risk audits. Must log in at least every 30 days and place ≥1 trade/week (advance email notice required for medical/travel gaps).

Fast Track — 10KBilled monthly per firm's own evaluations page; third-party figures conflict sharply ($57-$77 one-time vs a separate unrelated claim of $75/$175 for what may be a different/renamed 100K-250K Fast Track product) — treat all Fast Track price figures as unverified/promotional.

End of Day — 50K~$347 one-time per third-party pricing table (unverified on ETF's own site); activation fee ~$177 one-time (or shared $47/$87 fee menu).

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $3,000
Max drawdown: $2,000
Drawdown type: End-of-day trailing — floor moves only off the highest CLOSED (session-end) balance; open/unrealized profit during the day never raises the floor
Daily loss limit: $1,100 (hard breach — calculated off the prior day's ending balance; breaching it, even on an open trade, is an immediate fail)
Consistency rule: None during evaluation (weekly-trade activity rule only)
Min trading days: 5 to pass evaluation; 8 minimum "qualified" days required before the first payout once funded
Max contracts: 8 minis / 80 micros
Other rules: $47 reset on breach instead of a new purchase.

Funded phase

Account kind: Elite Sim-Funded → promotable to LIVE ELITE
Activation or monthly fee: ~$177 one-time / $47 Double-Down / $87 monthly
Drawdown: EOD-trailing until safety net reached, then converts to static per the same $100-over-drawdown mechanism used on other plans (exact funded-stage figure not separately re-confirmed for EOD)
Drawdown type: End-of-day trailing, converting to static at safety net
Daily loss limit: Presumed to carry forward at $1,100 into the funded stage (not explicitly re-confirmed for the funded stage specifically — flagged)
Consistency rule: Standard ATD rule (≥$200 or 23% of best day; 8 ATDs Cycle 1, 10 ATDs Cycles 2-4)
Payout schedule: Up to $3,000 max payout per cycle cited on the official End-of-Day product page; general firm-wide Mon/Wed processing claim + 48-hour guarantee (not size-specific)
Profit split: Up to 100% sim profit (official page language), subject to the same $25,000/$150,000 lifetime caps used elsewhere
Scaling or contract limits: 8 mini/80 micro cap carries forward; max 5 active accounts
Other rules: Standard Loss Limit Rule and 30-day login / weekly-trade requirements presumed to apply.

Drawdown type: End-of-day trailing, converting to static at safety net
Daily loss limit: Presumed carries forward at $2,200 (not explicitly re-confirmed for funded stage)
Consistency rule: Standard ATD rule (8/10/10/10 by cycle)
Payout schedule: Up to $3,000 max payout/cycle cited on official page; firm-wide Mon/Wed + 48-hour guarantee claims not size-specific

Scaling or contract limits: 14 mini/140 micro cap; max 5 active accounts
Other rules: Standard Loss Limit Rule and activity requirements presumed.

End of Day — 150K~$657 one-time per one third-party pricing table; another third-party source separately cited ~$457/month for the same tier — the two conflict and neither is confirmed on ETF's own site.

Evaluation phase

Profit target: unknown — not found on any official page fetched; official Contract-Limits help page confirms this SKU exists (18 minis/180 micros) but the End-of-Day product landing page ETF itself only detailed 50K and 100K, omitting 150K entirely

Max contracts: 18 minis / 180 micros (confirmed via official Contract-Limits help page)
Other rules: unknown beyond the standard $47 reset presumed to apply firm-wide

Daily loss limit: None — official help page explicitly states Static plans carry no daily loss limit and no consistency rule during evaluation

Drawdown type: Static (fixed)
Daily loss limit: None (consistent with the evaluation-stage rule)
Consistency rule: Standard ATD rule presumed (8/10/10/10 by cycle); one source notes the $200 ATD minimum is reduced to $100 for select smaller accounts including 100K Static — unclear if 10K/25K Static also qualify for the reduced threshold
Payout schedule: Presumed firm-wide schedule, not confirmed per-size
Profit split: Presumed up to 100% sim profit subject to standard $25,000/$150,000 caps

Drawdown type: Static (fixed)

Profit split: Presumed up to 100% sim profit subject to standard caps
Scaling or contract limits: 2 mini/20 micro cap; max 5 active accounts

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $4,000

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $5,000

Daily loss limit: $1,500 hard breach
Consistency rule: None during evaluation
Min trading days: 5 to pass evaluation; 8 minimum qualified days required before the first payout once funded
Max contracts: 2 minis / 20 micros

Platforms: Tradovate confirmed (official help article "Determining Drawdown on Tradovate"). Other supported platforms (NinjaTrader, Rithmic-based DOM, etc.) were not confirmed in this research — treat as unknown rather than assumed.

Universal conduct rules: MAX ACCOUNTS: 5 active Elite Sim-Funded accounts per trader firm-wide; separately, 5 active Direct-to-Funded accounts per trader. Exceeding the cap can get the excess accounts deactivated without notice. — LOGIN/ACTIVITY: must log in at least every 30 days and place at least one qualifying trade per calendar week on every active account (advance email notice required for medical/travel absences), or the account can be closed. — HEDGING/CORRELATED INSTRUMENTS: prohibited across one OR MULTIPLE accounts. Two tiers defined: Tier 1 = same-underlying size variants (e.g., ES/MES) — ANY position in one is treated as identical exposure to the other regardless of direction/size; Tier 2 = different products tracking the same market (e.g., all equity indices ES/NQ/YM/RTY together, or all crude-oil variants CL/RB/HO/NG together). Full Tier-2 mechanics were not fully retrievable from the help center in this pass. — MARTINGALE CONDUCT: explicitly named and prohibited under the Terms of Service — 'adding to a losing position, or re-entering the same exposure right after a loss to try to recover it' is treated as Martingale conduct. — TRADE COPIERS/EAs/ALGOS: conflicting official-domain guidance found. One current help-center article ('Trade Copier Disclaimer') says copiers are permitted ONLY from a named list of approved partners (Tradesyncer, Tradecopia, Affordable Indicators, Replikanto Flowbot PropFirm-Compliance-Edition) plus any copy feature native to the trading platform itself, used entirely at the trader's own risk. A separate, differently-titled help article found via search ('Important Notice: Third-Party Trade Copiers No Longer Allowed') suggests ETF later moved to a blanket ban on ANY third-party copier. Which supersedes which as of 2026-09-05 could not be conclusively determined in this research — flag this to Chris/the reader and verify directly with support before relying on any copier. — VPN/VPS: since a September-2025 policy change, VPN and VPS use for TECHNICAL/infrastructure purposes is allowed; using a VPN specifically to MASK your true geographic location remains prohibited. — RESTRICTED COUNTRIES: traders from countries on 'Rise's restricted list' (Afghanistan, Central African Republic, Congo-Brazzaville, Cuba, DR Congo, Guinea, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Mali, Myanmar, North Korea, Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela, Yemen) cannot buy accounts, get funded, or receive payouts; Guam, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands are also unsupported. A trader's country must be supported by BOTH Rise (payout processor) and Stripe (payment processor). — PAYMENT PROCESSING: managed via Stripe. — CONTRACT RULE (Static plans, at minimum): must trade the current, highest-volume contract month, not a stale/back month. — LOSS LIMIT RULE (funded accounts, firm-wide): once an account has reached 20% profit, giving back more than 35% of ACCUMULATED profit (floor = starting balance + 65% of accumulated profit) triggers account removal and permanent disqualification from LIVE ELITE promotion; checked at every payout request and during risk audits.

News and overnight: NEWS TRADING: explicitly UNRESTRICTED. Official help center states 'ETF does not impose any restrictions or limitations on traders during major economic news events' across all plans — but the firm disclaims liability for any platform slowdowns or order-execution failures during high-volatility news windows; trading through news is entirely at the trader's own execution risk. — OVERNIGHT/WEEKEND HOLDING: plan-dependent, NOT universal. Standard plans (1-Step, End of Day, Static, Fast Track) require ALL positions to be closed 1 minute before market close — no overnight or weekend holding permitted. Diamond Hands is the explicit exception: overnight AND weekend position-holding is permitted by design (its entire value proposition), with the EOD-trailing floor only updating after positions close and open losses still counting intraday against its $1,500 daily loss limit. On LIVE ELITE (real-money) accounts, overnight holding is allowed but the trader is fully financially responsible for any overnight margin charges incurred; ETF invoices those charges and failure to pay by the stated deadline can result in account forfeiture. Direct-to-Funded plans' overnight policy was not conclusively confirmed either way in this research (unknown).

Corrections and uncertainty

The 1-Step evaluation fee is NOT one-time. It is a recurring monthly subscription charged every 30 days until the trader passes. Official ETF help article: "Simply pay the Evaluation subscription every 30 days until you pass... If you have not failed your Evaluation, your current profit and drawdown will carry over when your renewal is processed." A third-party pricing guide corroborates monthly billing and lists current rates of $165/month (50K) and $205/month (100K), different from the $197/$247 figures in the ruleset (pricing may have changed or varies by promo, but the billing model itself is the load-bearing error). The separate post-pass activation-fee menu ($177 one-time / $47 Double-Down-Deal / $87/month) is unaffected by this correction.

Resolved 1-Step reward-cycle payout caps for all 3 sizes (previously two ETF pages disagreed); confirmed Direct-to-Funded explicitly allows overnight/weekend holding; added new 'One Day to Pass' Diamond Hands add-on; clarified the $100-vs-$250 minimum withdrawal figures apply to different stages (Sim-Funded vs LIVE ELITE), not a real conflict.

Separated combined Fast Track into Revamped EOD and Static profiles. Kept fee/expiry and payout source conflicts visible; disabled ambiguous combined planner profile.
