RiseworksAbout FundedElite
FundedElite trades out of Italy under CEO Christian Habibi, who also runs the futures sister brand FuturesElite, and has been funding traders since November 2023. Eight programs cover almost every route to capital: 2 Step and 1 Step with a Free Retry, cheaper Lite versions of both, Instant and Instant Elite with no evaluation at all, Catalyst on a tight 6% drawdown, and Flash Activation that costs $5 up front and bills the rest only once you pass. Accounts run from $5,000 to $400,000 on Match Trader and MT5. What separates it from most firms is that the rules themselves are priced: profit split, leverage, payout cycle, scalping and weekend trading are all adjustable at checkout. FundedElite holds a 4.3 TrustPilot rating across 711 reviews.

Configurable at Checkout
Standard settings are an 80% profit split, 1:30 leverage, a 14-day payout cycle, no scalping under 180 seconds and hold-only weekends. Each can be changed when you buy: the split moves across 60, 70, 80 and 95%; leverage to 1:50 or 1:100 on FX; the payout cycle to 3, 7 or 21 days; and scalping and weekend trading switch on as paid toggles. Instant and Instant Elite start at a 70% split instead. Catalyst and Flash Activation ship with a 30% consistency rule that can be switched off the same way. Every change moves the fee, so the prices in our table are the standard configuration with the discount applied.

FundedElite Reviews & Ratings
Rated by our community & expert team
The configurator is the story here. Almost every other firm hands you a fixed rulebook; FundedElite lets you buy your way out of the parts you dislike — a 95% split, 1:100 on FX, payouts every 3 days, scalping under 180 seconds, weekend trading. Each toggle raises the fee, so the price in our table is the standard configuration. Entry is genuinely cheap: a Lite 2 Step 5K is $23.40 and Flash Activation starts at $5 with the activation fee due only on passing. Two things to weigh against that. Hedging is banned outright, in one account or across several. And at two years old, FundedElite has a shorter record than the firms it undercuts.
Summary
FundedElite runs eight programs from Italy. The standard challenges — 2 Step at 8% then 5%, 1 Step at 12% — carry a 14% max loss on static drawdown and include a Free Retry. The Lite tiers drop the retry and start at $23.40. Instant and Instant Elite fund you immediately at a 70% split against a 25% consistency rule and trailing equity drawdown. Catalyst asks 8% on a 6% max loss. Flash Activation costs $5 with an activation fee of $159 to $1,999 by size, payable only after you pass. Standard settings are 80% split, 1:30 leverage, 14-day payouts and no scalping under 180 seconds; each of those can be bought up at checkout, to 95%, 1:100 on FX and a 3-day cycle. The challenge fee comes back with your 3rd payout. Read two rules before buying: hedging is prohibited everywhere, and Catalyst and Flash Activation carry a 30% consistency rule unless you pay to remove it. Its 4.3 TrustPilot rating from 711 reviews reflects a firm still building its record.
Deep Dive
More About FundedElite
Is FundedElite Legit?
FundedElite is a registered Italian firm trading since November 2023 under Christian Habibi, who also operates FuturesElite. Its 4.3 TrustPilot rating across 711 reviews is a reasonable sample for a firm two years old, though smaller than what long-running competitors have accumulated. The strongest evidence is verifiable rather than promotional: payouts run through Riseworks in USDC on Arbitrum, and the on-chain tracker on this page shows real RISEPAY transactions you can check yourself. KYC is required before the first payout. The rules are published in full, including the unpopular ones — the hedging ban, the 180-second minimum hold and the exact reset percentages. Start small, check which add-ons you actually need, and confirm your country is eligible before paying.
FundedElite vs Other Forex Prop Firms
FundedElite vs AquaFunded: Both compete at the cheap end and both attach consistency rules once you are funded: 15% to 25% at AquaFunded depending on the program, 25% to 30% at FundedElite. The difference is control. AquaFunded fixes its terms per program, while FundedElite’s configurator lets you buy the consistency rule away on Catalyst and Flash Activation — at a price.
FundedElite vs For Traders: The closest comparison on the site: both launched recently, both run seven or eight programs, and both offer a pay-after-pass route. For Traders refunds your fee on the 4th payout against FundedElite’s 3rd, but bans automated EAs outright. FundedElite allows martingale and sells the rules as options.
FundedElite vs Funded Trading Plus: FT+ has four years behind it and allows same-account hedging, which FundedElite prohibits entirely. FundedElite counters with far more programs, cheaper entry and the configurator. If you hedge, this is not your firm.
FundedElite Frequently Asked Questions
What is the profit split at FundedElite?
80% as standard on the challenge programs and 70% on Instant and Instant Elite. You can buy 60%, 70%, 80% or 95% at checkout, and every program rises toward 95% with the paid option.
How much does a FundedElite account cost?
A Lite 2 Step 5K is $23.40 with 40% off, the cheapest entry on the board. A 2 Step 7K is $53.40 and a 1 Step 7K $57. Flash Activation costs $5 up front on every size, with the activation fee due only after you pass.
What programs does FundedElite offer?
Eight. 2 Step and 1 Step are the standard evaluations with a Free Retry; Lite 2 Step and Lite 1 Step are cheaper versions without it. Instant and Instant Elite fund you immediately. Catalyst runs a single 8% target on a 6% max loss. Flash Activation lets you start for $5 and pay after passing.
How does Flash Activation work?
You pay $5 to start and trade a one-phase evaluation with a 2% target, or 6% on the 25K and 50K sizes. Pass it and the activation fee falls due — $159 on a 25K rising to $1,999 on a 400K. Drawdown is static during the evaluation and EOD trailing once funded.
Can I change the rules on my account?
Yes, that is the point of the configurator. Profit split, leverage, payout cycle, scalping and weekend trading are all adjustable when you buy, and Catalyst and Flash Activation let you remove the consistency rule. Each change moves the price.
Is the challenge fee refundable?
Yes, refunded in full with your 3rd payout.
Is scalping allowed at FundedElite?
Not as standard — trades under 180 seconds are not permitted. The Allow Scalping add-on removes the limit entirely.
Is hedging allowed at FundedElite?
No. Hedging is prohibited within a single account, across your FundedElite accounts, and against brokers or other prop firms. Martingale, by contrast, is explicitly allowed.
How often does FundedElite pay out?
Every 14 days as standard on most programs, and every 21 days on Lite 1 Step, Instant and Instant Elite. A 3-day or 7-day cycle is available as a paid add-on.
What is the reset fee if I breach?
A funded reset costs 40% of the original challenge price on most programs, or 20% on 2 Step. Catalyst prices resets per stage instead, from $890 on a 50K.
