Exclusive code
Catalog still lists DEAL — Pass One, Get One: 65% off non-Fast Track evaluations, plus up to 3 free evaluations. Official homepage/app (2026-09-12) still does not surface DEAL as a homepage-live code; confirm DEAL at checkout before treating 65% as live (do not delete the code without proof checkout rejects it). The same homepage plan picker still markets unlimited Elite funded resets (limited time) across the six plan families.

Methods
Elite Sim-Funded accounts keep up to 100% of simulated profits (80% once graduated to LIVE ELITE at $25,000 in cumulative payouts). Safety net: once realized profit reaches the max drawdown + $100, the drawdown is permanently removed for payout eligibility. Loss Limit Rule: once a trader reaches 20% profit on the Elite Sim-Funded account, a new floor applies — giving back more than 35% of profit from that point can get the account removed from the Elite Sim program. Evaluation resets are $47 and unlimited. Standing 1-Step help still says Elite (funded) resets are capped at 10, DTF included; the official homepage plan picker (2026-09-12) markets unlimited Elite funded resets as a limited-time claim — confirm at checkout.
Answers built from Elite Trader Funding’s published terms in this catalog.
Buy evals until you acquire N funded accounts, then some of those accounts pay out. Catalog fees and splits prefill when we have them. Pass rate and funded payout rate are your assumptions, not firm-reported statistics.
Enter an eval fee to run the simulation. We will not invent $0 when the catalog leaves this blank.
Charts appear once eval fee, profit per funded, and profit split are set. We do not invent those numbers.

Elite Trader Funding is a futures-only prop firm (CME, CBOT, COMEX, NYMEX) offering six evaluation/funding paths: 1-Step, Static Drawdown, End of Day, Diamond Hands, Fast Track, and Direct to Funded (DTF, which skips the evaluation entirely for a one-time fee). This entry documents the 1-Step plan, ETF's most popular product: a single-phase evaluation with a live trailing (intraday, chases highest unrealized P&L) drawdown, no daily loss limit, and a 5 trading-day minimum (an add-on can waive the day minimum).
Confirmed 1-Step sizes with complete official target/drawdown/contracts (elitetraderfunding.app/1-step-evaluation, 2026-09-12): $50K ($2,000 drawdown / $3,000 target / 8-mini position cap), $100K ($3,000 drawdown / $6,000 target / 14-mini cap), and $250K ($6,500 drawdown / $15,000 target / 24-mini cap). The official evaluations comparison table also lists a $150K 1-Step size (50/100/150/250) and 1-Step help reward tables include $150K, but the dedicated 1-Step page still documents only three sizes and fees stay on the live plan picker — $150K fee/target/drawdown/contracts are UNVERIFIED here and are not invented as a structured row.
Passing unlocks an Elite Sim-Funded account: up to 100% profit split, a safety net that permanently removes the drawdown once realized profit reaches drawdown + $100, and a Loss Limit Rule where crossing 20% account profit sets a new floor — give back more than 35% of profit from that point and ETF can pull the account from the Elite Sim program (this replaces what earlier documentation described as a flat consistency-rule percentage). A limited-time 5 / 5 / 3 / 2 Active Trade Day (ATD) cadence applied only to 1-Step accounts purchased July 6–27, 2026.
1-Step accounts purchased on or after July 28, 2026 use 8 / 10 / 10 / 10 ATDs. 1-Step accounts purchased on or after July 6, 2026 also have a $250 minimum withdrawal (payout tables show $250 floors, not $100).
Each ATD needs $200+ realized profit (or $100 on some smaller/legacy account types) and at least 23% of your best trading day's P&L. Evaluation resets are $47 and unlimited; standing help copy still caps Elite (funded) resets at 10 (DTF included), while the official homepage plan picker (2026-09-12) markets unlimited Elite funded resets as a limited-time claim across the six plan families — confirm that funded-reset offer at checkout.
Reach $25,000 in cumulative Sim-Funded payouts and traders graduate to LIVE ELITE: real capital, 80/20 split, daily payouts on business days, a $250 minimum, and a 48-hour payout approval guarantee. The other five plan families at a glance: Fast Track ($10K, $500 drawdown, $2,000 target, 3-day minimum, one free month of funded activation, no resets — the cheapest entry); Static Drawdown ($10K/$25K/$50K, fixed floor that never trails, no daily loss limit — friendliest for newer traders); End of Day ($50K/$100K, end-of-day trailing drawdown plus a hard-breach daily loss limit of $1,100–$2,200); Diamond Hands ($100K, the only ETF plan permitting overnight/weekend holds, EOD trailing + daily loss limit); Direct to Funded ($10K Mini Inferno / $50K / $100K, one-time payment, no evaluation phase — the priciest way in).
ETF also runs periodic trade competitions and a rewards/points program that can lower repeat-evaluation cost. Supported platforms: Tradovate, NinjaTrader, TradingView, Rithmic R|Trader, ATAS, Bookmap, EdgeProX, eSignal, Finamark, Investor/RT, MotiveWave, Quantower, and Sierra Chart, with Rithmic as the primary data feed (new accounts pay an added monthly Rithmic connection fee starting January 28, 2026 per a CME Group data-feed policy change).
Evaluation and account fees are not published statically on the plan pages — ETF directs traders to its live evaluations page for current pricing and active promotions — so no fee figures are captured in this entry; confirm current pricing before purchase.
Traders comfortable with an intraday-chasing trailing drawdown who can hit a profit target in a handful of days.
Traders who need EOD-only or static risk (use End of Day or Static Drawdown instead), or who assume DTF/Fast Track rules match 1-Step — they don't. Compare 1-Step trail feel vs Apex EOD 2026, payout day gates vs MyFundedFutures Flex, instant paths vs Tradeify Lightning.
Based on the structured rules and product flags we track, Elite Trader Funding tends to fit traders who want instant funding options; traders who prefer a one-step evaluation path; futures-focused traders. Compare profit targets, max loss, and payout frequency against your strategy before paying an evaluation fee.

Channels
A roster-only roundup of futures firms on PropFirmElite that sell a true skip-evaluation path: Tradeify Lightning, LucidDirect, Elite Trader Funding DTF, Blue Guardian Direct, and Top One Instant/Ignite. Phidias Express-to-Live is still an evaluation. Cost vs eval, who should skip, who should not.
Pick by rule, not by headline size: 1-Step if you can protect open profit, Static for a fixed floor, EOD for a session-close trail, Diamond Hands to hold overnight, Fast Track to test cheap, DTF to skip the eval.
Most futures firms here: no weekend holds. Flatten for the daily break when catalog hours say so. Weekend holding is true only at FundedNext (CFD 24/5, not futures overnight), Blue Guardian Futures, and Phidias.
