CryptoAbout FuturesElite
FuturesElite is an Italy-based futures prop firm founded in November 2024 under CEO Christian Habibi. It scores on Trustpilot across reviews. Eight platforms are supported and payouts go out through Riseworks or crypto.
Four plans and sixteen accounts, $25,000 to $150,000. Prime, Elite and Nitro are evaluations; Instant funds you from purchase. All four share the same profit targets of $1,250 to $9,000 and the same maximum loss limits, so the plans differ on how you pass and what follows you into the funded account rather than on the numbers you are trading toward.
The split is 90% on Prime, Elite and Nitro. Instant pays 80%, which is what skipping the evaluation costs. Payouts are daily on all four once the first one lands, with no activation fee anywhere and no deadline on any plan. Total allocation caps at $1,500,000.
Consistency is the real dividing line, and the stage matters more than the number. Elite runs 40% on the evaluation, switchable to 50% at checkout, then nothing once funded. Nitro runs 50% on the evaluation and nothing funded. Prime is the reverse: no rule at all while you evaluate, which is how you pass in a single day, then 40% once funded. Instant holds 20% at every payout.
Days to pass and days to get paid are different numbers here, and the gap decides how quickly money actually arrives. Passing takes one day on Prime, two on Nitro and three on Elite. The first payout then needs profitable days on the funded account: three on Prime, six on Elite, only one on Nitro and ten on Instant. Everything is daily after that.
Only Prime carries a daily loss limit as standard, at $600 to $2,700 by size on both stages. Elite ships without one but lets you switch it on at checkout, which uses the same figures and lowers the price — a 25K drops from $66.50 to $53.90. Nitro and Instant have none at all.
Nitro is the one plan whose drawdown changes on funding, switching from end-of-day trailing to trailing equity, which counts unrealised profit instead of waiting for the close. It also carries an unusual rule: hit a daily simulated profit of $4,000 to $10,000 by size and the account moves to live automatically.
Buffers apply on Nitro and Prime at $1,100 to $4,600 by size and have to be cleared before requesting. Elite and Instant have no buffer. Per-payout caps run $1,000 to $3,000 on the evaluations and up to $3,500 on Instant, with a $500 minimum on Prime, Nitro and Elite and none on Instant.
The allowed list is more permissive than most futures firms put in writing. Martingale, grid trading, day trading and scalping within limits are all named as accepted, and stop losses are encouraged rather than required. What is banned is bots, EAs and AI, so every trade has to be placed by hand.
Getting to live is a real path rather than a badge. Your funded profit converts to exchange capital up to a cap of $6,000 to $20,000 by size, the live account opens at $0 above a trailing loss floor, and a Reserve releases as you log profitable days and profit. Payouts there are daily from $200 with no daily loss limit at all.
Programs & Modes
Prime — Pass in One Day
The cheapest way in and the fastest evaluation: no consistency rule at all while you evaluate, and one trading day is enough to pass. The bill arrives afterwards, with a 40% consistency rule once funded and three profitable days before your first payout. It is also the only plan carrying a daily loss limit you cannot remove, at $600 to $2,700 by size on both stages. Contract limits run 2 to 10 minis. Four sizes from $62.40 with code GUIDE.
Profit Split: 90% once funded
Target $1,250 to $9,000 | Daily Loss $600 to $2,700 | Max Loss $1,000 to $4,500 | Contracts 2 to 10 Minis | Min Days 1 to pass, 3 funded | Time ∞ Unlimited | No Activation Fee
Elite — Best Entry Price
Priced as the entry plan but arguably the most generous once funded: no consistency rule at all, no buffer to clear, the widest contract limits here at 2 to 12 minis, and the only plan where contract scaling switches on after funding. The evaluation asks 40% consistency, switchable to 50%, over three days, and the funded account needs six profitable days before the first payout. Switching the optional daily loss limit on lowers the price to $53.90 on a 25K. Four sizes from $66.50.
Profit Split: 90% once funded
Target $1,250 to $9,000 | Daily Loss None | Max Loss $1,000 to $4,500 | Contracts 2 to 12 Minis | Min Days 3 to pass, 6 funded | Time ∞ Unlimited | No Activation Fee
Nitro — No Daily Loss, One Day to Get Paid
Built around two absences and one shortcut: no daily loss limit, no consistency rule once funded, and only one profitable day before your first payout, the fastest on the page. The evaluation asks 50% consistency over two days. What you accept is a buffer of $1,100 to $4,600 and a drawdown that switches to trailing equity on funding. Clear $4,000 to $10,000 of simulated profit in a day and the account moves live automatically. Four sizes from $89.05.
Profit Split: 90% once funded
Target $1,250 to $9,000 | Daily Loss None | Max Loss $1,000 to $4,500 | Contracts 2 to 10 Minis | Min Days 2 to pass, 1 funded | Time ∞ Unlimited | No Activation Fee
Instant — Funded From Purchase
Funded from purchase with no evaluation to pass. The convenience costs twice: the split drops to 80%, and you need ten profitable days before any payout, the longest wait here. A 20% consistency rule applies at every request. There is no buffer, no daily loss limit, no reset and no activation fee, and the payout ceiling is the highest on the page at up to $3,500. Four sizes from $167.30.
Profit Split: 80% once funded
Target None | Daily Loss None | Max Loss $1,000 to $4,500 | Contracts 4 to 12 Minis | Min Days 10 funded | Time ∞ Unlimited | No Activation Fee
Profit Split & Payouts
Prime, Elite and Nitro pay 90% once funded; Instant pays 80%. Payouts are daily on all four with one day between requests, but the first one waits on profitable days: three on Prime, six on Elite, one on Nitro and ten on Instant. Per-payout caps run $1,000 to $3,000 on the evaluations and up to $3,500 on Instant. Nitro and Prime hold a buffer of $1,100 to $4,600 that must be cleared first; Elite and Instant have none. The minimum payout is $500 on Prime, Nitro and Elite, and there is none on Instant. Money goes out through Riseworks with no minimum, or crypto with a $500 minimum.

35% Off Nitro and Prime
Code GUIDE takes 35% off every Nitro and Prime account. A 25K Prime drops from $96.00 to $62.40, the cheapest account on the board, and a 150K Nitro from $328.00 to $213.20.
30% Off Elite and Instant
The same code takes 30% off Elite and Instant. A 25K Elite falls from $95.00 to $66.50, a 150K Elite from $353.00 to $247.10, and a 100K Instant from $469.00 to $328.30.
Martingale and Grid Trading Allowed
Both are named explicitly in the rulebook as accepted strategies, alongside day trading and swing trading. Few futures firms say so in writing.
Scalping Within Limits Allowed
A trade has to be held at least 11 seconds, and the rule targets trades of 1 point or less on NQ or the equivalent elsewhere. On the evaluation, scalping trades exceeding 50% of your target block the upgrade to funded. On a funded account scalping is not a violation at all: the scalped amount is deducted from your leftover buffer instead, and only breaches if it exceeds it.
Stop Losses Encouraged, Not Required Allowed
FuturesElite recommends stop losses and other risk management tools but does not mandate them on any plan.
Live Trading Program: Real Capital Allowed
FuturesElite runs a genuine live programme on real exchange capital, not a second simulated tier. The risk team decides who moves up, usually on your fifth and final payout, a large lifetime withdrawal total, standout sim results, or past live history with the firm.
Live Payouts Are Daily From $200 Allowed
On a live account you withdraw profits above the cushion plus any released Reserve, daily, with a $200 minimum. There is no daily loss limit on a live account at all.
Prime Passes in One Trading Day Allowed
No consistency rule at all during the evaluation, and one trading day is enough. The fastest route to funding here.
No Funded Consistency on Elite or Nitro Allowed
Both apply a rule during the evaluation and drop it entirely once funded. On a page where Prime only starts a rule after funding, that is the opposite trade.
No Daily Loss Limit on Three of Four Allowed
Elite, Nitro and Instant have none at either stage. Only Prime carries one, at $600 to $2,700 by size.
Daily Payouts on Every Plan Allowed
One day between requests on all four, with no minimum calendar gap to wait out.
No Buffer on Elite or Instant Allowed
Nothing held back before your first request. Nitro and Prime hold $1,100 to $4,600 by size.
No Activation Fee, No Deadline Allowed
Nothing is charged when an account funds, and no plan carries a time limit.
Contract Scaling on Elite Once Funded Allowed
Elite is the one plan where size grows with the balance after funding. Everywhere else the limit stays fixed.
News Trading on the Evaluation Allowed
Unrestricted while you evaluate on all four plans. Restrictions apply once funded.
$1,500,000 Total Allocation Allowed
Measured across all your funded accounts combined, the highest ceiling of any futures firm we cover.
24/7 Support Allowed
Available on every funded account.
Consistency Applies at Different Stages Restricted
Elite 40% on the evaluation, switchable to 50% at checkout, then none funded. Nitro 50% evaluation, none funded. Prime none on the evaluation, then 40% funded. Instant 20% at every payout.
Live: Your Sim Profit Converts Into a Reserve Restricted
Moving live converts your funded profits into live capital up to a cap by size: $6,000 on a 25K, $12,000 on a 50K, $14,000 on a 75K, $16,000 on a 100K and $20,000 on a 150K. Anything above the cap does not carry over, and you do not receive it up front. It sits in your Reserve and is earned back by trading.
Live: Starting at $0 Under a Loss Floor Restricted
Every live account opens at $0 with the firm’s capital beneath it as a loss floor: $1,000 on a 25K up to $4,500 on a 150K. The floor moves up only at the daily close, and only on a new best close, then stops for good at $0. Dipping below it intraday is fine; closing a day below it ends the account.
Live: The Cushion and 15 Profitable Days Restricted
Half your starting floor stays in the account as a cushion — $500 on a 25K up to $2,250 on a 150K. Your first profits fill it and everything above it is withdrawable from day one. It releases after 15 profitable days, which need not be consecutive. A day counts only if the session closes with realised profit at or above the daily minimum: $75 on a 25K, $150 on a 50K, $225 on a 75K, $300 on a 100K, $450 on a 150K.
Live: Earning the Reserve Back Restricted
Nothing unlocks until you have both 15 profitable days and $5,000 in total live profits. After that every further $5,000 of profit releases $2,500 of Reserve, processed weekly, until it is empty. Every unlock passes a risk check first, and reckless sizing can end them.
Live: Three Accounts at a Time Restricted
All your funded accounts convert, but only three run live at once. The rest queue, and each 10 profitable days opens the next at $0 with its own floor and cushion. Ten days is a minimum, not an automatic release; each one passes a risk check.
Live: Losing the Account Restricted
A day closing below the floor closes the account, taking its balance and any cushion still held. Its locked Reserve is lost, and you wait one month before buying another evaluation.
Days to Pass and Days to Get Paid Are Different Numbers Restricted
Passing the evaluation takes 1 trading day on Prime, 2 on Nitro and 3 on Elite. Getting your first payout then needs profitable days on the funded account: 3 on Prime, 6 on Elite, 1 on Nitro and 10 on Instant. After the first payout every plan pays daily.
Nitro's Drawdown Switches on Funding Restricted
The evaluation runs end-of-day trailing. Once funded it becomes trailing equity, which tracks unrealised profit rather than waiting for the close. Every other plan stays end-of-day at both stages.
Elite’s Daily Loss Limit Toggle Lowers the Price Restricted
Elite ships with no daily loss limit. Switching one on at checkout sets it to $600, $1,200, $1,800 or $2,700 by size, the same figures Prime carries, and the account gets cheaper: $53.90, $97.30, $151.76 and $194.88 with code GUIDE against $66.50, $107.10, $205.10 and $247.10 without. Resets fall too, from $79–$229 to $64.03–$180.61. The profit target, drawdown, contract limits, minimum days and payout requirements are identical either way, so you are trading a hard daily stop for a lower entry price.
Buffers on Nitro and Prime Restricted
$1,100 on the 25K, $2,100 on the 50K, $3,100 on the 100K and $4,600 on the 150K. It has to be cleared before you can request a payout.
Per-Payout Caps Restricted
$1,000 to $3,000 on the evaluations by size. Instant runs $1,000, $1,500, $2,500 and $3,500, the highest here.
Instant Pays 80%, Not 90% Restricted
The price of skipping the evaluation. Prime, Elite and Nitro all pay 90% once funded.
News Trading Carries Restrictions Once Funded Restricted
Unrestricted during the evaluation on every plan, restricted on all four funded accounts.
Copy Trading Needs Approval First Restricted
Allowed between your own accounts, but it has to be requested and reviewed. You submit a three-month HTML trading history of the master account before it is switched on.
Inactivity Restricted
Standard accounts terminate after 29 days without a trade. Instant accounts bought after 23 November 2025 need at least one trade every 7 days.
Trading Hours and the Weekend Close Restricted
6:00 PM EST to 4:55 PM EST the next day. Anything still open at 4:55 PM EST is liquidated automatically. Markets close Friday 4:55 PM EST until Sunday 6:00 PM EST.
The 2% CME Price-Limit Rule Restricted
Trading a product within 2% of its CME daily price limit is not permitted.
Riseworks KYC Is Required Restricted
Payouts need a verified Riseworks account registered to the same email as your FuturesElite account, with an agreement to sign on the first payout.
Bots, EAs and AI Prohibited
Fully automated trading is prohibited. Every trade must be discretionary and placed by the account holder.
Hedging on a Live Account Means Permanent Removal Prohibited
Holding a long and a short in the same instrument at once, inside one account or across any you control, brings an immediate permanent ban: every account closed and all locked Reserve lost. On a real exchange it can also count as wash trading under CME Group rules.
Hedging and Reverse Trading Prohibited
Not permitted across accounts, between users, or inside the same challenge. Order-fill manipulation is banned with it.
IP Sharing and Multi-Country Access Prohibited
Several traders’ accounts on one IP address is banned. Logging into your own account from multiple countries can also flag you for account sharing or unauthorised management.
Group and Collaborative Trading Prohibited
Coordinating with others to run the same or opposite strategies across multiple accounts. Copying other traders is banned too; copying between your own accounts is fine.
Account Flipping Prohibited
A pattern of payout request, breach, new account, payout request, breach. The firm wants you building toward a sustainable live account rather than cycling through them.
Slippage and Gap Exploitation Prohibited
Using tight brackets to exploit the absence of slippage, and profiting from isolated fills in gapped or illiquid markets. Trading is expected to mirror live conditions.
Order Fill Manipulation Prohibited
Placing multiple limit orders at the same price to engineer a fill.
Account Rolling Prohibited
Buying several challenge accounts and trading them aggressively hoping one passes is prohibited.
Holding Over the Weekend Prohibited
Markets close Friday 5:00 PM EST and reopen Sunday 6:00 PM EST, so nothing carries across.

Buffers on Nitro and Prime
$1,100 to $4,600 by size, unwithdrawable and cleared before your first request. Elite and Instant have no buffer at all.
Minimum Trading Days Before a Payout
Three on Prime, six on Elite, one on Nitro and ten on Instant. These differ from the days needed to pass.
The Live Trading Program
Moving live is a risk-team decision, usually on your fifth and final payout. Your funded profit converts into live capital up to the cap below and sits in a Reserve you earn back. The account itself starts at $0 with the firm’s capital as a loss floor beneath it, half of which is held back as a cushion until you log 15 profitable days. A day only counts if the session closes with realised profit at or above the daily minimum. Payouts are daily from $200 and there is no daily loss limit.
| Account | Conversion Cap | Loss Floor | Live Cushion | Daily Minimum | Max Contracts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $6,000 | $1,000 | $500 | $75 | 1 Mini / 10 Micros |
| $50,000 | $12,000 | $2,000 | $1,000 | $150 | 2 Minis / 20 Micros |
| $75,000 | $14,000 | $2,500 | $1,250 | $225 | 3 Minis / 30 Micros |
| $100,000 | $16,000 | $3,000 | $1,500 | $300 | 4 Minis / 40 Micros |
| $150,000 | $20,000 | $4,500 | $2,250 | $450 | 5 Minis / 50 Micros |
After 15 profitable days and $5,000 in total live profits, every further $5,000 of profit releases $2,500 of Reserve, processed weekly. Only three accounts run live at once; each 10 profitable days opens the next from the queue. A day closing below the floor ends that account and forfeits its locked Reserve, with a one-month wait before buying again.
Riseworks KYC Is Required
Verified on the same email as your FuturesElite account, with an agreement to sign on the first payout.

FuturesElite Reviews & Ratings
Rated by our community & expert team
FuturesElite is an Italy-based futures prop firm founded in November 2024 under CEO Christian Habibi. It scores on Trustpilot from reviews. Four plans and sixteen accounts, $25,000 to $150,000, on eight platforms and paid through Riseworks or crypto. Prime, Elite and Nitro pay 90%; Instant pays 80% for skipping the evaluation. Every plan shares the same profit targets and the same maximum loss limits, so the real choice is where consistency bites. Prime passes in one day and starts a 40% rule once funded. Elite and Nitro do the opposite and drop it entirely. Code GUIDE takes 35% off Prime and Nitro and 30% off Elite and Instant, so a 25K Prime is $62.40. Martingale, grid trading and limited scalping are all allowed in writing. Bots and EAs are not.
Summary
FuturesElite is an Italy-based futures prop firm trading since November 2024. Four plans, sixteen accounts, $25,000 to $150,000, on eight platforms with payouts through Riseworks or crypto. It scores on Trustpilot from reviews.
Cheapest way in is a 25K Prime at $62.40 with code GUIDE, which takes 35% off Prime and Nitro and 30% off Elite and Instant. No activation fee on any account.
Three things decide the fit. Prime passes in one trading day but carries a 40% rule once funded, while Elite and Nitro drop consistency entirely after funding. Elite's daily loss limit is optional and makes the account cheaper when you switch it on. And automated trading is prohibited outright.
Deep Dive
More About FuturesElite
Is FuturesElite Legit?
Yes. FuturesElite has traded from Italy since November 2024 under CEO Christian Habibi and holds on Trustpilot from reviews. Eight platforms are supported and payouts run through Riseworks or crypto.
The payouts are checkable rather than claimed. Riseworks settles on-chain, so the tracker at the top of this page reads real transfers out of the firm's wallet. The rulebook is published in detail too, down to the per-size buffers, the auto-live profit thresholds on Nitro and the exact news window that voids a trade.
Two things here are better than the futures average. A news-window violation voids the trade rather than failing the account, where most firms treat it as a hard breach. And the allowed list is unusually permissive in writing: Martingale, grid trading, day trading, swing trading and scalping within limits are all named as accepted.
The live programme is also real rather than a marketing line. Your funded profit converts to live capital up to a cap, the account trades exchange money with a trailing loss floor, and a Reserve unlocks as you prove results. It is demanding, but it exists and the mechanics are published.
The honest caveats: bots, EAs and AI are prohibited, so every trade has to be placed by hand; Instant needs ten profitable days before any payout; and the firm is one year old, which is a short record however good the current terms look.
FuturesElite vs Other Futures Prop Firms
FuturesElite competes on what happens after you pass: a 90% split, daily payouts, no daily loss limit on three of four plans, and two plans that drop consistency entirely once funded. Where it gives ground is the ban on automated trading and a one-year track record.
FuturesElite vs Apex Trader Funding: Apex pays a flat 100% against 90% here and has five years behind it against one. But Apex checks 50% consistency at every request where Elite and Nitro drop the rule once funded, and caps you at six payouts per account. Apex allows $3M across twenty accounts against $1.5M here, so on scale Apex wins and on funded-stage freedom FuturesElite does.
FuturesElite vs FundedSeat: Both ban bots and both pay daily. FundedSeat pays 90% on five of six plans, the same as here, and its Sprint passes in one day much like Prime. FuturesElite answers with twice the allocation ceiling, no daily loss limit on three plans, Martingale and grid trading allowed in writing, and news violations that void a trade rather than failing the account.
FuturesElite vs FundedNext Futures: FundedNext pays 95% on its Flex program against 90% here and permits bots and EAs, which FuturesElite bans outright. FuturesElite answers with daily payouts on every plan against FundedNext's mixed cadence, no five-withdrawal ceiling like Rapid carries, and a $1.5M allocation cap against $750,000.
FuturesElite vs Elite Trader Funding: Similar names, unrelated firms. Elite Trader Funding has four years of history and thirteen platforms against eight. Its payout gate is far stricter though, needing eight Active Trade Days each clearing 23% of your best session, and rewards cap at $25,000 per trader. FuturesElite pays daily at 90% with no lifetime cap.

$1,000 to $3,000 by size on Prime and Elite, $1,000 to $2,800 on Nitro, and $1,000, $1,500, $2,500 or $3,500 on Instant, which carries the highest ceiling. The minimum payout is $500 on Prime, Nitro and Elite, and there is none on Instant.
Does FuturesElite have a daily loss limit?
Prime carries one as standard at $600 to $2,700 by size on both stages. Elite has none by default but you can switch one on at checkout for a lower price, using the same figures. Nitro and Instant have none at all, and neither does a live account.
Can I add a daily loss limit to my FuturesElite account?
On Elite, yes, and it makes the account cheaper. Switching it on at checkout sets a limit of $600, $1,200, $1,800 or $2,700 by size and drops the price to $53.90, $97.30, $151.76 or $194.88 with code GUIDE. Every other rule is identical either way. Prime's limit is fixed and cannot be removed; Nitro and Instant have none.
How does the FuturesElite drawdown work?
Prime, Elite and Instant run end-of-day trailing, which updates at the session close on closed profit. Nitro is the exception once funded: it switches to trailing equity, which counts unrealised profit rather than waiting for the close. On every plan the drawdown locks at your initial balance after your first payout request.
What is the Nitro auto-live rule?
Hit or exceed a daily simulated profit of $4,000 on a 25K, $6,000 on a 50K, $8,000 on a 100K or $10,000 on a 150K and the account is moved to live automatically.
Do contract limits change when you get funded?
The limit itself stays the same. Elite is the one plan where contract scaling switches on after funding, so size can grow with the balance. Everywhere else it stays fixed.
How many contracts can I trade at FuturesElite?
From 2 minis on a 25K up to 12 on a 150K Elite or Instant. Prime runs 2 to 10, Nitro 2 to 10 with 5 on the 50K, and Instant 4 to 12. Micros are ten per mini throughout.
Can I use EAs or trading bots at FuturesElite?
No. Fully automated trading with AI, bots or EAs is prohibited. Every trade has to be discretionary and placed by the account holder.
Is martingale allowed at FuturesElite?
Yes. FuturesElite names Martingale and grid trading explicitly among the strategies it accepts, alongside day trading and swing trading.
Can I scalp at FuturesElite?
Yes, within limits. A trade has to be held at least 11 seconds, and the rule targets trades of 1 point or less on NQ or the equivalent. On the evaluation, scalping trades exceeding 50% of your target block the upgrade to funded. On a funded account it is not a violation: the scalped amount comes out of your leftover buffer, and only breaches if it exceeds it.
Do I need a stop loss at FuturesElite?
No. Stop losses are encouraged as risk management but are not required on any plan.
Can I copy trade at FuturesElite?
Between your own accounts, yes, but it has to be requested and approved first. You submit a three-month HTML trading history of the master account for review. Copying other traders and group trading are prohibited.
Can I hedge at FuturesElite?
No. Hedging and reverse trading are prohibited across accounts, between users and inside the same challenge. On a live account it is worse: an immediate permanent ban with every account closed and all locked Reserve lost.
Can I trade the news at FuturesElite?
Unrestricted during the evaluation on every plan. Once funded, restrictions apply, but a violation is not a hard breach: the trade that lands inside a restricted window is simply voided.
What are the FuturesElite news trading rules?
For Tier 1 news, trades must be closed at least 2 minutes before the release and can only reopen 2 minutes after the news ends, a six-minute window in total. For non-Tier 1 news, open trades can stay but new trades around the event are discouraged. Straddles and disguised news trades are prohibited.
Can I hold trades overnight at FuturesElite?
No. All positions must be closed by 4:55 PM EST or the system liquidates them. Trading runs 6:00 PM EST to 4:55 PM EST the next day, and markets close Friday 4:55 PM EST until Sunday 6:00 PM EST.
Is there a time limit at FuturesElite?
No deadline on any plan. There is an inactivity rule instead: standard accounts terminate after 29 days without a trade, and Instant accounts bought after 23 November 2025 need one trade every 7 days.
How do I get a live account at FuturesElite?
The risk team decides. The usual routes are collecting your fifth and final payout, a large lifetime withdrawal total, standout simulated results, or having traded live with the firm before. Payout 5 is the top of the ladder rather than a requirement.
What happens to my profits when I go live at FuturesElite?
They convert into live capital up to a cap by size: $6,000 on a 25K, $12,000 on a 50K, $14,000 on a 75K, $16,000 on a 100K and $20,000 on a 150K. Anything above the cap does not carry over. You do not receive it up front; it sits in a Reserve you earn back by trading.
How does the FuturesElite live loss floor work?
Your live account starts at $0 with the firm's capital beneath it: $1,000 on a 25K up to $4,500 on a 150K. The floor moves up only at the daily close, and only on a new best close, then stops for good at $0. Dipping below it during the session is fine. Closing a day below it ends the account.
What is the FuturesElite live cushion?
Half your starting loss floor, from $500 on a 25K to $2,250 on a 150K. Your first live profits fill it and it stays in the account until you log 15 profitable days. Everything above it is withdrawable from day one, and withdrawals never move your floor.
What counts as a profitable day on a FuturesElite live account?
A session closing with realised profit at or above the daily minimum for your size: $75 on a 25K, $150 on a 50K, $225 on a 75K, $300 on a 100K and $450 on a 150K. A $600 day counts as one day, not more, and the days do not need to be consecutive.
How do I unlock my FuturesElite Reserve?
First hit both marks: 15 profitable days and $5,000 in total live profits. After that every further $5,000 of profit releases $2,500 of Reserve, processed weekly, until it is empty. Every unlock passes a risk check first.
How many FuturesElite live accounts can I run at once?
Three. The rest of your converted accounts wait in a queue, and each 10 profitable days opens the next at $0 with its own floor and cushion. Ten days is a minimum rather than an automatic release.
What happens if I lose a FuturesElite live account?
It closes with whatever balance is in it, including any cushion still held, and its locked Reserve is lost. You then wait one month before buying another evaluation.
What platforms does FuturesElite support?
Eight: Tradovate, NinjaTrader, WealthCharts, Quantower, ATAS, Volumetrica, DeepCharts and DeepMap.
How do I get paid at FuturesElite?
Through Riseworks with no minimum, or crypto with a $500 minimum per request. A verified Riseworks KYC on the same email as your FuturesElite account is required, and first-time payouts need an agreement signed.
Does FuturesElite offer resets?
Yes on the three evaluation plans, priced by size from $79.00 on a 25K Elite to $229.00 on a 150K Elite. Enabling Elite's daily loss limit lowers them to $64.03 to $180.61. Instant has no reset.
Does FuturesElite refund the account fee?
No. There is no fee refund on any plan.
What is the maximum allocation at FuturesElite?
$1,500,000 across all your funded accounts combined.
