ETF publishes a restricted-country policy based on U.S. FCM, clearing, broker, and OFAC restrictions. Traders from restricted countries cannot purchase, obtain funding, or receive payouts. ETF also says countries must be supported by both Rise and Stripe, and some countries may still be blocked from LIVE ELITE even if payment providers support them.
No dedicated standalone copy-trading policy article surfaced in the reviewed official Elite Trader Funding materials.
No dedicated standalone bot-policy article surfaced in the reviewed official Elite Trader Funding materials.
No explicit DCA or martingale policy surfaced in the current official materials reviewed for this firm.
Not allowed. This seems standard for futures-oriented prop firms.
ETF may transition traders from Elite Sim-Funded to LIVE ELITE at its discretion, including before, during, or after a payout request. Published eligibility signals include 5 payouts per trader, 50 Active Trading Days per trader, or reaching the $25,000 payout cap per trader, along with background screening, CME-rules training, and maintaining the safety threshold on the sim-funded account.
Elite Trader Funding's public help center focuses on plan rules, payout conditions, fees, and supported platforms; a dedicated breach-handling article did not surface in this review pass.
No universal refund policy was confirmed in the futures plan articles used. Reset/activation/subscription costs are documented per model.
Revamped Fast Track EOD model: $99 subscription and $100 activation fee upon passing the evaluation.
Elite Sim payouts are approved daily Monday through Friday and processed twice weekly on Mondays and Wednesdays. Live Elite payouts are processed daily. Most sim-funded payouts require payout-cycle progress, ATDs, consistency, and full withdrawal of the cycle maximum before advancing to the next cycle.
Elite Trader Funding supports both Tradovate and Rithmic account paths. Tradovate accounts can also be used through NinjaTrader and TradingView, while Rithmic supports a wider software stack including R | Trader, ATAS, Bookmap, EdgeProX, eSignal, Finamark, Investor/RT, MotiveWave, NinjaTrader, Quantower, and Sierra Chart.
Trading is allowed during market-open holiday sessions.
Traders are responsible for following holiday-adjusted hours.
Holding beyond early/holiday close times can breach and fail the account.
Please manage risk carefully when using any prop firm. Trading involves substantial risk, and you can lose part or all of the money you spend on evaluations, subscriptions, or related services. Never invest money you cannot afford to lose.
Prop firm terms, payout policies, and account rules can change at any time, including updates that affect existing accounts. Always confirm current terms directly on the firm's official site before purchasing.
