Futures Elite Rules

Futures Elite's plans state a maximum drawdown of 3% to 4% of the account size (drawdown type: end-of-day), across 8 plans. A consistency rule applies: prime: none in the challenge, 40% once funded; Instant: 20%, scaling to 30% (fixed at 20% on the 25K Instant); Elite: 40% in the evaluation only; Custom: 50% in the evaluation only. News trading is conditional: allowed in the evaluation; on funded accounts a trade in a restricted Tier 1 news window is voided, without a breach; straddles, strangles and disguised news trades prohibited.

Futures Elite's plans state a maximum drawdown of 3% to 4% of the account size (drawdown type: end-of-day), across 8 plans.

A daily loss limit of 1.8% to 2.4% is stated on 4 of 8 plans; where a plan shows a dash, no daily figure is recorded for it.

Dollar amounts are the published percentage applied to the account size.
