Elite Trader Funding rules
Elite Trader Funding offers 2 accounts on PropPassCheck (1-step). Below are the profit targets, loss limits, consistency rules and payout terms for each, checked against Elite Trader Funding's own site on 29 Oct 2026.
Our summary
Elite Trader Funding offers several futures evaluations. The two most popular 50K options both need $3,000 (6%) and at least 5 trading days. The 1-Step has a $2,000 live trailing drawdown that follows open profit, with no daily limit. The End of Day plan has a $2,000 drawdown that only moves at the close, but adds a hard $1,100 daily loss limit.
That's the real choice: the 1-Step can fail you on a winning trade that comes back, while the EOD plan can fail you on one bad day. Funded payouts need 8 active trading days for the first cycle and are processed twice a week.
