Elite Trader Funding rules
- Drawdown
- With 1-Step, your trailing drawdown tracks the highest unrealized profit you reach. When your realized profit reaches max drawdown plus $100, the trail ends. Your minimum balance then equals starting balance plus $100.
- Consistency requirements
- No consistency rule is stated for the 1-Step evaluation. To qualify as Active Trade Days, Elite reward days must produce $250 in realized profit and reach at least 30% of your best day.
- Trading news
- You may trade during holidays and news, though market volatility may be very low or extremely high. The firm isn't responsible for the account during those periods.
- Using trade copiers
- You may use only trade copiers that appear on the firm's approved list.
- Account cap
- Evaluations purchased on or after September 17, 2025 allow up to 20 Elite Sim-Funded accounts active at once.
- Weekend and overnight
- You can't hold positions overnight on 1-Step. Close every trade one minute before the market closes.
- Inactivity
- You need at least one trade each week. If a week is missed, the account closes and rewards are voided.
