What Elite Trader Funding actually requires across its 2 programs (2026)
Answer
Elite Trader Funding runs 2 programs (5 rule sets) on file — on the flagship $50K 1 Step Evaluation, the binding limit is 4% max drawdown. The corpus was re-checked 2026-09-06: the cited wording was no longer found — the rule may have changed; check the source link.
Current rule snapshot
| Program | Account size | Drawdown | Daily loss | Consistency cap | Profit split | Payout cycle | Verified |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Step Evaluation | $50K | Trailing, intraday — the floor moves continuously while a position is open — 4% | none imposed by the firm | not recorded | 80% | not recorded | 30 July 2026 |
| 1 Step Evaluation | $100K | Trailing, intraday — the floor moves continuously while a position is open — 3% | none imposed by the firm | not recorded | 80% | not recorded | 30 July 2026 |
| 1 Step Evaluation | $250K | Trailing, intraday — the floor moves continuously while a position is open — 2.6% | none imposed by the firm | not recorded | 80% | not recorded | 30 July 2026 |
| End of Day Evaluation | $50K | Trailing, end-of-day — the floor moves once per day at the close — 4% | 2.2% | not recorded | 100% | not recorded | 16 August 2026 |
| End of Day Evaluation | $100K | Trailing, end-of-day — the floor moves once per day at the close — 3.5% | 2.2% | not recorded | 100% | not recorded | 16 August 2026 |
Every cell above resolves to a sourced field in PropSurvival’s maintained rule corpus or is printed as "not recorded" — nothing shown here is estimated.
What it means for a trader
Elite Trader Funding's 2 programs are not interchangeable: 1 Step Evaluation models a 4% trailing, intraday drawdown floor (moves continuously while a position is open), while End of Day Evaluation models a 4% trailing, end-of-day drawdown floor (moves once per day at the close).
Worked example: on the $50K 1 Step Evaluation account, the drawdown floor sits at a hard $2,000 — read straight off this program’s own rule file for this size. (see the freshness note above)
