Elite Trader Funding Fast Track Evaluation (10K Static)

10K: USD 2,000

none

10K: USD 500 · static

The floor stays fixed at the starting balance minus the limit.

Stops: Fixed floor at USD 9,500, never moves.

3 days

Any day with a trade counts; Sunday evening and Monday count as one day. The One Day to Pass add-on is not available for Fast Track.

10 days

10 calendar days; after that the evaluation fails automatically, with no reset and no renewal.

≤ 40 % · best day ÷ total profit

keep trading until met

Your best profitable day may be at most 40% of total profit, otherwise the evaluation is not yet passed; you keep trading within the 10 days until the ratio fits. Example: USD 2,000 target reached, best day USD 1,000 (50%) → only at USD 2,500 total profit is the best day at 40%.

Simulated, possibly live later

After passing (or straight away with DTF) you trade an Elite Sim-Funded account: a simulated account whose balance per the terms is not a deposit; ETF pays rewards out of the sim profits. ETF may move you to LIVE ELITE at its discretion (real ETF capital at a live broker, 80/20, no payout cap). You are considered from 1 reward, 5 Active Trade Days or USD 1,000 in rewards; at the latest at USD 25,000 in sim payouts per trader. The sim balance does not carry over: LIVE ELITE starts with a fixed balance (sim account up to 50K USD 1,250, 100K USD 1,500, 150K and above USD 2,000; DTF 10K USD 1,500, 50K USD 2,000, 100K USD 2,500); the remaining sim value is kept as an internal "Vault" from which ETF releases at most USD 5,000 per 90-day review through 10% matches of your live withdrawals. Plus a background check, 34 CME rules lessons and USD 197 per month per exchange for market data and FCM fees. If you decline the offer you receive 5% of your earnings up to USD 12,500 plus 2% above, the accounts are closed and you are barred for 2 years.

10K: USD 500 · static

The floor stays fixed at the starting balance minus the limit.

Stops: Stays at USD 9,500, also after the safety net (USD 10,600).

Per the terms an Elite account must reach its safety net within 45 calendar days of paying the fee, otherwise it is closed. Accounts with a one-time fee ("OTF", per the terms including any account where a one-time fee was charged instead of monthly billing) instead get 25 calendar days, a one-time 3-day cure, and must then stay at or above the safety net. Loss Limit Rule: once the account is up 20%, the decline from the peak must not reach 35% of the gain (per the terms "35% or more"; peak includes open profit, intraday or over the account's life); otherwise it is removed from Elite Sim and loses LIVE ELITE eligibility (checked at audits and reward requests).

≤ 30 % · best day ÷ total profit

payout waits until met

Once the ATDs are met, your best day may be at most 30% of total profit, otherwise the reward button does not appear. Total profit and best day count over the whole life of the Elite account; ATDs restart each cycle. Example: USD 2,000 total profit → no day above USD 600.

8 days

Active Trade Day (ATD): a day with at least USD 100 realised profit; no best-day percentage rule.

8 ATDs in the first reward cycle, 10 in the second and third; ATDs need not be consecutive.

100 %

Per ETF "up to 100%" of sim profits; ETF names no lower rate for sim accounts. Capped at USD 25,000 in sim payouts per trader across all accounts (then the move to LIVE ELITE) and USD 150,000 lifetime. In LIVE ELITE 80% to you.

8 trading days

After the safety net (USD 600 realised profit, cannot be withdrawn), 8 Active Trade Days and the 30% consistency rule; plus audit, KYC and Rise onboarding.

per cycle

Per reward cycle: meet the ATDs and withdraw the full cycle maximum to move to the next cycle; a new request is possible only once the previous one is processed. Approvals Mon–Fri from 3 PM ET, Elite Sim rewards paid on Mondays and Wednesdays. Per ETF approval within 48 business hours, otherwise USD 1,000 extra (only after completed KYC and Rise).

USD 100

Maximum per cycle 1 / 2 / 3: USD 750 / 1,000 / 1,250; "Reward Cycle Cap" per ETF USD 3,000. ETF does not say what applies after the third cycle.

ETF states no payout fee of its own. Rewards go through Rise; methods, currencies, timing and fees are set by Rise. Currency conversion can incur FX fees.

no refund

No fee is refunded with a payout. On the move to LIVE ELITE the last subscription payment of active, unfailed evaluations with no reward requested, or of passed accounts, is added to the LIVE ELITE starting balance.

ETF names no account size increase for sim accounts; only the payout maxima rise from cycle to cycle, depending on the plan. In LIVE ELITE you start with 5 micros (starting balance up to USD 1,500) or 10 micros (USD 2,000 and above); after 20 trading days you can ask the Risk Team for an increase.

At least one genuine trade ("Genuine Activity") per account per calendar week, otherwise closure and forfeited rewards; a trading break can be requested once per quarter via a form. Plus a login on elitetraderfunding.app at least every 30 calendar days (3-day cure). At most 20 active Elite Sim-Funded accounts per trader, at most 5 of them DTF.

restricted

No restriction during the evaluation. Per the terms Elite accounts must be flat from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after the start of major economic events; for the list of these events the terms point to the Elite page. The help-centre article (and the Diamond Hands page) say news trading is allowed without restriction; per their own order of precedence the terms prevail.

forbidden

Close all positions at least 1 minute before the instrument's close (terms section (ae)), e.g. ES by 3:59 PM CST. Holding overnight by mistake makes you liable for any overnight margin charges, invoiced; non-payment forfeits the account and its profits.

forbidden

Close all positions at least 1 minute before the instrument's close (terms section (ae)), e.g. ES by 3:59 PM CST. Holding overnight by mistake makes you liable for any overnight margin charges, invoiced; non-payment forfeits the account and its profits.

forbidden

AI, bots and automated trading systems are forbidden without ETF's express written authorisation (terms section (ac)) and do not count as Genuine Activity; so are VPNs/VPS that mask your IP (section (l)) and arbitrage strategies (section (v)). Since the "Trade How You Want" promotion ended on 2 Nov 2026 the terms apply as written per ETF, including: every trade at least 10 seconds, no abusive HFT, no Martingale or DCA pattern.

restricted

Approved trade copiers only: Tradesyncer, Tradecopia, Affordable Indicators (Duplicate Account Actions), Replikanto Flowbot (PropFirm Compliance Edition only) and the platform's built-in copy features. Other copiers: reset or forfeited profits possible, permanent ban on repeat. Trading for others or letting others trade is forbidden.

forbidden

No opposite positions in the same or a correlated instrument (e.g. NQ and MNQ, ES and NQ), neither in one account nor across several own accounts or with other traders.

10K: 1 minis / 10 micros

Mini and micro limits are enforced separately by the platforms, but ETF treats maxing out both at once as unacceptable (total exposure counts). Exceeding them fails the account, in an Elite account with forfeited profits. The limits stay the same in the Elite account.
