What Is FuturesElite?
FuturesElite is an evaluation-based prop firm focused exclusively on futures markets. Traders choose between a subscription-based evaluation challenge or an instant funded account, pass the required objectives, and gain access to a live-funded account with bi-weekly profit payouts. No personal capital is at risk in the markets.
What sets FuturesElite apart is its end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown that locks permanently at the initial account balance after the first funded payout — eliminating the trailing mechanic entirely once early profits are banked. Combined with no minimum trading days, no daily loss limit, no consistency rule on funded accounts, and zero activation fees, FuturesElite is engineered for traders who want a clean, friction-free path to funded futures trading.
Evaluation Rules
FuturesElite offers a single-step evaluation with no Phase 2. There are no minimum trading days — traders can pass the challenge in a single day if the profit target is met. The drawdown is EOD trailing: it adjusts only at the close of each trading day based on the highest end-of-day balance. Intraday drawdowns from open positions do not move the floor. The trailing stops permanently and locks to the initial account balance once the maximum drawdown percentage in profits is reached, or after the first payout request on the funded account.
The EOD trailing drawdown recalculates only at 5 PM EST each day using your highest end-of-day balance. Intraday swings do not move the floor — a position that is down $3,000 midday and recovers by close has no effect on the drawdown. However, every new end-of-day high raises the floor permanently. On a $50K account with a 6% drawdown ($3,000), the drawdown stops trailing and locks at $50,000 once your end-of-day balance reaches $53,000. After the first funded payout request, the drawdown also locks at the initial account balance regardless. From that point, the only way to breach is to let your funded account balance fall back below that locked floor — giving disciplined traders a permanently stable risk foundation.
Account Sizes & Pricing
FuturesElite offers evaluation accounts from $50K to $150K across two tiers — Starter and Pro. Both share the same EOD trailing drawdown structure and no daily loss limit. The Pro tier carries a higher profit target but unlocks significantly larger payout caps per request. A $25K evaluation account is also available as an entry-level option. There are zero activation fees on all accounts, and account upgrades to the funded stage trigger automatically in under a second once the target is met.
Multi-account bundle discounts are available — the more accounts purchased simultaneously, the greater the per-account saving. A bundle of 10 × $150K Pro accounts provides $1.5M in combined capital with the tenth account free. Instant Funded accounts are also available for traders who want to skip the evaluation entirely and trade funded from day one.
| Account Size | Tier | EOD Drawdown | Drawdown Locks At | Reset Fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $50,000 | Starter | $3,000 (6%) | $50,000 once balance hits $53,000 EOD | $49 |
| $50,000 | Pro | $3,000 (6%) | $50,000 once balance hits $53,000 EOD | $99 |
| $100,000 | Starter | $3,000 (3%) | $100,000 once balance hits $103,000 EOD | $99 |
| $100,000 | Pro | $3,000 (3%) | $100,000 once balance hits $103,000 EOD | $159 |
| $150,000 | Starter | $4,500 (3%) | $150,000 once drawdown % in profits is reached | $129 |
| $150,000 | Pro | $4,500 (3%) | $150,000 once drawdown % in profits is reached | $239 |
Funded Account & Payouts
Upon passing the evaluation, the funded account is activated automatically in under a second — no waiting on email approvals. The same EOD trailing drawdown applies, and after the first payout request the drawdown locks permanently at the initial account balance. There is no consistency rule on funded accounts. Evaluation accounts require 5 profitable trading days within any 14-calendar-day window before the first payout can be requested, with daily profit minimums based on account size.
Payout caps differ between Starter and Pro tiers. Pro accounts carry significantly higher per-request maximums, making the Pro tier the preferred choice for traders planning to extract larger profits per cycle. All withdrawals are processed twice monthly and completed within 48 hours of request.
| Account Size | Starter Cap | Pro Cap |
|---|---|---|
| $50,000 | $1,500 | $3,000 |
| $100,000 | $3,000 | $5,500 |
| $150,000 | $4,500 | $7,500 |
Platforms & Instruments
FuturesElite supports three platforms. EliteX is the firm's proprietary browser-based interface built on TradingView infrastructure — it requires no software installation and offers clean charting and real-time data from day one. NinjaTrader is available for traders who require advanced order flow, automated execution, or custom indicator setups. Project X rounds out the offering with its own advanced charting and risk management toolset. All platforms provide access to the same account rules and funded environment.
The tradeable instrument list covers the most actively traded CME and ICE futures markets, including the major equity indices, energy, metals, and currency futures. All trades must be executed during valid market hours — overnight and weekend position holding is not permitted on standard evaluation or funded accounts.

MarketGrid Verdict
FuturesElite delivers one of the cleanest rule sets in the funded futures industry. The combination of EOD trailing drawdown, no minimum trading days, no daily loss limit, no consistency rule, and zero activation fees removes almost every structural friction point that trips up traders at competing firms. The drawdown mechanic that locks permanently at the initial balance after the first funded payout is a genuinely differentiated feature — and one that materially changes how you can approach position management on the funded stage.
The intraday-only session window and modest Starter-tier payout caps are the key constraints to weigh against the firm's strengths. For traders with a proven intraday edge who want maximum flexibility within the session and minimum friction on the route to funding, FuturesElite is among the most compelling options available in 2026.
