Requirements listed
Six plans, one spine
- 1 Step, Static, End of Day, Diamond Hands, Fast Track and Direct to Funded all share the same payout system and the same route to live capital. What differs is how the drawdown behaves - live trailing on unrealised profit, fixed, end-of-day realised, or no evaluation at all - and which risk limits bite first.
Active Trade Days gate every payout
- A payout cycle cannot be closed without logging the required Active Trade Days: 8 for the first cycle and 10 for each cycle after on standard Elite plans, or 5, 10, 15 or 20 by size on Direct to Funded. An Active Trade Day is a day the trader actually trades and meets the plan's criteria, which is designed to stop a payout resting on one lucky session.
$25,000 of sim payouts, then real capital
- Simulated payouts are capped at $25,000 cumulative per trader. Reaching it moves the trader to LIVE ELITE - the firm's own capital in a live broker account on an 80/20 split, with uncapped payouts, daily withdrawals on business days, a $250 minimum and a 48-hour approval guarantee.
Per-cycle payout caps scale
- Each cycle has a $100 minimum and a maximum that grows with the account and the number of cycles completed. A 50K can request $100 to $1,250 in its first cycle, rising toward $2,000 later. The 1 Step ladder publishes its own per-payout ceilings of $1,750 (50K), $2,000 (100K) and $2,250 (150K).
Activation is monthly or one-time
- After passing, a funded account is activated either on a monthly fee of $87 or a single payment of $177 on a 50K and $247 on larger sizes. The evaluation itself auto-renews every 30 days until it is passed or cancelled, and a reset costs $47.
Live trailing counts open profit
- The 1 Step drawdown follows the highest unrealised profit, counting both open and realised P&L, so an intraday spike moves the floor up permanently. There is no daily loss limit on that plan. Traders who would rather have a daily limit and a drawdown that only moves at the close take the End of Day plan, where the daily loss limit is a hard breach.
Paid through Rise
- All payouts are processed through Rise (riseworks.io), supporting ACH bank transfers and cryptocurrency. Elite Trader Funding has operated since February 2022 and publishes a live payout feed alongside a Discord channel where traders post their own.
