The activation challenge is an evaluation program created by FundedElite that allows traders to get started without paying the full fee upfront. The process is simple: you pay an initial small amount of $5 to access Phase 1. If you pass Phase 1, a second payment of $5 is required to move on to Phase 2. Only after successfully completing both phases will you need to pay the full challenge fee to access a funded account. If the evaluation is discontinued at any phase, no further payments are required beyond the $5 or $10 already paid.
This account is only available for new users who never purchased a challenge with FundedElite.

Costs and Payment Timeline
The model is designed to be sustainable and accessible. Upon registration, you only pay an initial fee of $5. If you successfully complete Phase 1, you proceed with a second $5 payment to access the next phase. After passing Phase 2, the trader can choose to purchase the funded account by paying the final fee, with the $10 already paid being deducted from the total. Final fees, after the discount, are $249 for a $25,000 account, $379 for a $50,000 account, $699 for a $100,000 account, and $1,299 for a $200,000 account. The final payment must be completed within 30 days of passing the evaluation, directly from the personal dashboard. If not completed, the funding offer will automatically expire.

Trading Objectives
During Phase 1, the trader must achieve an 8% profit target without exceeding a 4% daily drawdown or an 8% overall drawdown. Phase 2 requires a 5% profit target, maintaining the same drawdown limits as in the previous phase. Once the funded account is obtained, there are no profit targets, but the trader must still adhere to a 8% maximum drawdown and a 4% daily drawdown. There are no time limits for withdrawals, which can be requested every 14 days but the traders must follow the trading rules which can be found at fundedelite.com/trading-rules.

What Happens in Case of Failure
The main advantage of the 5-to-Elite model is that the financial risk is very low. If the trader fails Phase 1, the evaluation simply ends, and the only cost incurred is the initial $5. If Phase 1 is passed but Phase 2 is failed, the total cost will be $10. In no case will the final fee be required, nor will any hidden charges apply.

Multiple Participation
Currently, each trader can participate only once in the activation challenge. This restriction is enforced through email and IP address verification. The reason behind this policy is to maintain the balance of the model, which relies on fair use. In the future, promotions or events may be introduced allowing a second participation, but unlimited attempts are not planned. Any updates will be communicated via email or official channels such as Discord.

How to Start the Challenge
To participate, simply select ” PAY AFTER ” in the checkout and the desired account size — $25,000, $50,000, $100,000, or $200,000 — and pay the initial $5 fee. After payment, credentials to access the Phase 1 demo account will be provided. If the trader meets the required objectives, they can move on to Phase 2 by paying another $5. Once both phases are successfully completed, the final payment can be made to receive the funded account.

Activation challenge Payment Cycle and Profit Split
Once both phases of the evaluation are successfully completed and the final fee is paid, a funded account will be activated. From that moment, traders can start receiving payouts based on their demo trading performance. Withdrawals can be requested every 14 days, offering a regular and flexible system for accessing generated profits. The default profit split is 80%, meaning the trader will receive 80% of the profits made on their demo account, while the remaining 20% will be retained by FundedElite.

What Happens After Passing
Once Phase 2 is passed, the trader will receive an email notification. From that moment, they will have 30 days to pay for the funded account. The payment can be made directly from the dashboard. If not completed within the given timeframe, the opportunity to obtain the account will be revoked. After payment is completed, the funded account will be created, and trading can begin. The account offers an 80% profit split in favor of the trader and allows withdrawals every 14 days.

Profitable Trading Days Requirement
To pass the evaluation, traders must complete at least 3 profitable trading days. Each day counts as profitable only if it generates a minimum profit of 1% relative to the account’s starting balance for the phase 1 and 0.5% for the phase 2.

Phase 1: 1% profit to be considered a profitable trading day
Phase 2: 0.5% profit to be considered a profitable trading day
Live phase: 3 trading days, no minimum profit requirements

These days do not have to be consecutive. If the overall profit target is reached before completing the five days, the account remains active, and the trader simply needs to continue trading until all requirements are met.

No. IP sharing is strictly prohibited on our platform.

We do not allow account access or activity from shared IP addresses under any circumstances. This is because we are entering into a contract with the individual trader for their funded account, and we must be absolutely certain that:

– The account is being operated solely by the verified trader,

– There is no account management or third-party involvement,

– There are no violations related to money rules or money laundering.

To protect our business and uphold compliance, we actively monitor IP addresses across:

– All user logins and platform access

– Our trading platforms and dashboards

– Payment and identity verification providers

– Every step a trader takes within our ecosystem.

Any detection of IP sharing or suspicious activity will result in immediate account closure and may lead to a permanent ban from our services.

To ensure consistent risk management, all trades must comply with the following rule:

A trade (or group of related trades) must not risk more than half of the daily drawdown limit. This applies to both:

– Highest Running Equity Loss – The maximum unrealized loss reached during the trade.
– Highest Stop Loss (SL) Level Used – The largest stop loss level set for the trade.

Application of the Rule:

If a trade’s running loss at any point exceeds 50% of the daily drawdown limit, it is considered a rule breach, even if the trade later becomes profitable.

If a trade has an initial Stop Loss greater than 50% of the daily drawdown limit, it does not qualify.

If multiple trades are part of the same trade idea (e.g., same asset and strategy), their cumulative risk is assessed together.

Please note: We consider rule breaches as soft breaches, which means the account won’t be closed but will get resetted.

Example:
If your daily drawdown limit is 5%, then no single trade or trade idea can risk more than 2.5%.
If your daily drawdown limit is 3%, then the maximum risk per trade idea is 1.5%.

Our second chance feature is NOT available in the LITE challenge model

The Instant Challenge is an instant funding program that does not require an evaluation. The program has a strict profit split policy, structured as follows:

• First Payout: The profit split starts at 70%.
• Second Payout: The profit split increases to 80%.
• Third and Subsequent Payouts: The profit split can reach up to 95% with a paid add-on.

Payouts are biweekly, provided that all program rules are properly respected.

Breaches of the rules outlined in this agreement may result in disqualification from the Live Trading Program or any ongoing challenge, closure of all associated accounts, and forfeiture of any accumulated profits.

All violations are automatically flagged by our system based on predefined risk parameters. Traders can autonomously reset their live account directly from the dashboard under the “Trading Objectives” section.

The first reset is free of charge.

Any subsequent resets will incur a fee equal to 20% of the original challenge cost, with a minimum charge of $10 USD per reset.

Each flagged case is still subject to internal review, and in some cases, an interview or additional documentation may be requested to verify compliance with trading rules.

The live stage is a phase where traders no longer have specific profit targets. They only need to follow the drawdown rules and trading rules. To reach the live stage, traders must clear all previous phases: either 2 phases in the 2-step challenge or 1 phase in the 1-step challenge and Elite Challenge.

Once all phases are cleared, the trader will receive a congratulatory email indicating they have reached the live stage. To have their live stage account set up, they must:
1. Complete the KYC
2. Sign the Live Account Contract
Both tasks can be found on our dashboard.

All live stages have a trading cycle of either 21 days, 14 days, 7 days, or no trading cycle.
After completing the cycle and respecting all rules, the trader can request a payout, which is the payment of the demo profits made so far on the live account.

Examples:
1. Successful Completion:
Trader completes all phases, respects all trading rules, completes KYC, and signs the live contract. They receive the live stage account.

2. Rule Breach:
Trader passes all phases but breaks trading rules. The live account is not issued, and they must purchase another challenge.

3. Incomplete KYC or Contract:
Trader passes all phases but cannot complete KYC or the live contract. We cannot provide the live account.

4. Payout Request with Rule Breach:
Trader passes all phases, completes KYC and contract, receives the live
phase account, completes the trading cycle, and requests a payout. However, if they breach a trading rule, the payout will not be issued, and the live account
will be closed.

5. Change in Activity:
Trader reaches the live stage but changes their activity drastically (e.g., different IPs, trading devices, styles, and risk). They might be asked to complete a risk assessment interview before the payout is released. If all is in order, the payout proceeds; otherwise, the trader is asked to adhere to their usual trading style, or their account may be blocked.

Funded Elite is the first prop firm to offer the “second chance” feature for free to every participant, applicable exclusively during the evaluation phases of Standard Challenges (either 1-Step or 2-Step), and just once per challenge bought. If you breach your account during the first or second phase, you can start again fresh from the first phase. However, this second chance is not available during the elite/live trading phase. Each challenge you purchase includes this unique benefit, emphasizing our commitment to supporting and educating our traders.
Adjustments to Challenge Limits:

Two-Step Challenge Accounts:

One-Step Challenge Accounts:

Live Stage Adjustments:

Example 1: Two step
If you start with $100,000, the daily drawdown limit will be $3,000 instead of $5,000,
while the total drawdown limit remains $10,000 on the new account.

Example 2: Two step
Trader breaches during the second phase. They receive a second chance account starting
from phase 1 with a 3% daily drawdown. If they pass phase 1 and move to phase 2, the
second phase will also have the 3% daily drawdown. Upon reaching the live stage, the
adjusted drawdown limits will continue to apply.

Example 3: Utilizing Second Chance
Trader breaches their account during the first phase. They automatically restart from
the first phase with adjusted drawdown limits.

Example 4: Not Available in Live Phase
Trader breaches their account during the live phase. The second chance is not
applicable, and they must purchase a new challenge.

The Second chance feature is available only with the standard 1 & 2 steps accounts, not included in the LITE challenges or the INSTANT ELITE NOW challenges

Trading Days refer to the minimum number of days a trader must be active in the market. To
count as a trading day, a trader must complete at least one trade during the course of the
day, with any position size.
Example 1:
To have 5 trading days, a trader must open at least one position on 5 different days.
For instance, a trader opens one trade on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, the following
Monday, and Wednesday. This satisfies the requirement of 5 trading days, even
though they are not consecutive.
Profitable Days are specific days where the trader achieves a certain profit target.
Example 2:
If the trader must have 3 profitable days of 1%, it means reaching 1% profit ($1,000
on a $100k challenge) on 3 different days. These days don’t have to be consecutive. If
the trader reaches $108k (8% profit) but never makes more than 0.7% in a day, they
must continue until they have 3 days with 1% profit each.
Example 3:
For a challenge requiring 5 profitable days at 0.5%, the trader must achieve 0.5%
profit ($500 on a $100k challenge) on 5 different days. These days don’t have to be
consecutive.

1 Step Challenge:

Phase 1: 3 profitable days at 1%
Live Phase: 3 trading days

Live Phase: 5 trading days

Daily Drawdown and Total Drawdown are critical parameters that traders must respect to
avoid disqualification.
Daily Drawdown: The maximum loss allowed in a single day.
Total Drawdown: The maximum loss allowed overall, calculated from the initial
balance.

Example 1: Initial Drawdown Limits
A trader starts with a $100,000 balance in a 2-Step Challenge with 5% daily drawdown and
8% total drawdown. The daily drawdown limit is $5,000, and the total drawdown limit is
$8,000.

Example 2: Profit During the Day
If the trader makes a $3,000 profit during the day, the daily drawdown remains at $95,000,
providing a buffer. The daily drawdown stays at $95,000 with an increased limit of $8,000
instead of $5,000.

Example 3: Profit After Daily Reset
If the trader ends the day with a running profit of $3,000, the new day’s drawdown limit will
be recalculated from the highest equity point. So, with $103,000 as the starting point, the new
daily drawdown will be $98,000, while the total drawdown remains at $92,000.

Profit Target is the profit that must be made on the demo accounts we provide for traders. To
be considered profit, all positions in positive must be fully closed, and the balance must
update to reach the correct profit target (e.g., 5%, 8%, 10%).

Example 1: Passing the Phase
A trader starts with $100,000 and reaches $108,000 (8% profit target) with all positions
closed and no running trades. Since all parameters are respected, the trader will receive the
second phase account.

Example 2: Not Passing the Phase
A trader reaches a $108,000 balance but still has positions running. The trader must close all
positions and maintain the $108,000 balance before progressing to the next stage.
The dashboard, accessible at tech.fundedelite.com, shows these parameters in real-time,
updating every 60 seconds.

To participate in the Funded Elite Trading Challenge, you must first understand whether your
challenge has one phase or two phases. Each challenge type has specific criteria for passing,
but all challenges require you to:
1. Achieve the Profit Target
2. Avoid Daily Drawdown and Total Drawdown
3. Complete Minimum Trading Days or Profitable Trading Days
4. Respect Our Trading Rules
These parameters can be easily monitored from your dashboard, updated live within a
maximum of 60 seconds.
Access the dashboard at tech.fundedelite.com using the custom login details you set up after
your first purchase.

The Funded Elite Trading Challenge is an evaluation program designed to assess and enhance
your trading skills using demo accounts. This structured program helps identify skilled traders
who can access demo accounts funded with virtual money and earn rewards based on their
performance.
We offer four types of Funded Elite Challenges:

The time on our platform server is based on UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). The dashboard’s countdown
and 24-hour reset occur at 22:00 UTC, which corresponds to 23:00 CET (Central European Time) during
standard time.
Examples of Different Time Zones:

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time):
– Countdown/24-hour reset at 22:00 UTC.

CET (Central European Time):
– During standard time, the reset is at 23:00 CET.
– During daylight saving time (CEST, Central European Summer Time), the reset is at 00:00 CEST (midnight).

EET (Eastern European Time):
– During standard time, the reset is at 00:00 EET (midnight).
– During daylight saving time (EEST, Eastern European Summer Time), the reset is at 01:00 EEST.

EST (Eastern Standard Time):
– During standard time, the reset is at 17:00 EST.
– During daylight saving time (EDT, Eastern Daylight Time), the reset is at 18:00 EDT.

Summary:

Winter Time:
CET: 23:00
EET: 00:00
EST: 17:00

Summer Time:
CEST: 00:00 (midnight)
EEST: 01:00
EDT: 18:00

These settings are used to ensure that the closing of a daily bar corresponds to the New York trading closing
time (17:00 EST). This alignment helps provide consistency and clarity for all users regardless of their local time
zones.

Account rolling is a form of trading that closely resembles gambling. In this approach, traders purchase multiple
trading challenge programs, trade aggressively or recklessly, and hope to complete some of them. The idea is
that whenever they blow up an account through such aggressive or reckless trading, they can switch to another
and continue in the same manner, believing that eventually, their “strategy” will pay off, leading to a huge
profit.
Reasons We Do Not Accept Account Rolling:
Principles of Sensible Trading:
-Account rolling goes against the principles of sensible and responsible trading that we promote. It encourages
reckless behavior rather than thoughtful and strategic trading.

Quality of Trading Data:
It is very hard for us to utilize any trading data from such an approach. The data derived from aggressive and
reckless trading does not contribute to the development of robust trading strategies.

Integrity of the Trading Environment:
Although this technique does not slow down our servers or harm other traders, it undermines the integrity of
our trading environment. We aim to foster a community of traders who engage in responsible and
well-planned trading activities.

Our Commitment:
We are committed to maintaining a high standard of trading practices and ensuring that our platform supports
the growth and success of traders who adhere to sensible trading principles. This is why we have implemented
an anti-gambling policy and do not accept account rolling.
By adhering to these principles, we ensure a fair and productive trading environment for all our users.

After purchasing your challenge, you will receive two important emails to help you set up and start your trading
journey.
Dashboard Access Email:

Trading Platform Account Details Email:

Yes, we have an inactivity rule. If your account remains inactive for 29 days without a single trade placed, it will
be terminated. This rule is in place to ensure active engagement and efficient use of resources.
Details:
We encourage regular account activity to keep your account operational. Make sure to open or close at least
one trade every 29 days to keep your account active.
We incur significant running costs for account opening, account maintenance, and hosting users on our dashboard servers. Therefore, we ask our traders to remain active or to contact us if they need to pause their
accounts for reasons such as health problems, personal reasons, or technical issues.
Account Recovery:
If no contact is made and the account is terminated due to inactivity, it cannot be recovered unless the trader
pays a small fee to cover the associated costs.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in maintaining active engagement with your account.

For the vast majority of users, we do not copy trades to live funds. However, we reserve the right to hedge
the positions of our traders on specific pairs to ensure proper risk management and coverage of trader
exposure.
Risk Management:
We implement stringent risk management practices to prevent bad actors from exploiting our services.
Our trading strategies are designed to minimize risk and do not rely excessively on any single trader. This allows
individual traders to execute their unique strategies while maintaining overall system integrity.

GDPR compliance.
Our commitment to privacy ensures that all data sharing is conducted within legal and ethical guidelines.
Opportunities for Traders:
We offer the possibility for consistently successful traders to join a live trading floor or transition to A-book live
capital accounts, provided they meet specific conditions.

We also monitor account sharing, IP sharing, IP activity, and device activity.
Compliance Checks:

These practices are standard in the financial industry and essential for adhering to strict KYC and AML regulations.
Manual Review and Verification:

We prioritize the presumption of honesty and engage with clients to gather additional information when
needed. Decisions are made carefully, based on a comprehensive view and sufficient evidence.
Consequences of Fraudulent Activity:
Users caught cheating or committing fraud will face severe consequences, including account closure, blacklisting from our services, and sharing of personal and activity details to relevant authorities.

These changes are designed with your success in mind, aiming to provide additional opportunities while maintaining the integrity and sustainability of our trading community. We believe these adjustments will further support your trading strategy and risk management, enhancing your pathway to the Elite Phase.

In cases where we observe that a challenge has been passed through a very limited number of trades, which is often associated with a high risk of hedge trading between different proprietary firm accounts, or by utilizing trading strategies with not allowed Expert Advisors (EAs)—specifically, hidden EAs or high-frequency scalping EAs—we will transition the associated live account to an “evaluation” status. During this period, the leverage available to the trader will be reduced to 1:30. This measure is implemented to mitigate excessive gambling or risk to our company, as we are unable to replicate these trades on live accounts.

It’s important to note that when clients employ prohibited trading strategies, we directly close their accounts. However, when we find irregularities that don’t explicitly breach our rules but still present concerns, we adopt the evaluation approach.

A trader under evaluation is required to demonstrate consistent trading practices. Upon achieving this, and at the time of their third payout, the trader’s account will be reinstated to the normal leverage level. This policy is in place to ensure both the integrity of our trading environment and the safeguarding of our company’s interests.

Funded Elite is committed to transparency. There are absolutely no hidden rules when you join our program. Every essential detail you need to know can always be found right here in our FAQ section.

If you encounter technical issues, such as platform outages or data feed disruptions, please reach out
to our support team immediately. We will work to resolve the issue promptly and ensure it doesn’t
affect your challenge progress.

To ensure compliance with our trading guidelines, we require traders to hold positions for a minimum of 3 minutes to avoid being flagged for High-Frequency Trading (HFT) or other prohibited trading practices.

Evaluation Stage: If trades held for less than 3 minutes are a minor part of your trading activity and do not generate a significant portion of your profits (e.g., the trades were opened by mistake), they will not be considered as a breach. However, if short-held trades make up a significant portion of your trades or contribute substantially to your profits, your challenge will be considered breached. In such cases, we may offer you a retake, depending on the circumstances.

Funded Stage: Trades held for less than 3 minutes in the funded stage will not result in a hard breach but will be classified as a soft breach. This means that your live account will be reset to the live stage, and payouts will not be processed. Each case will be evaluated individually.

Example Scenarios:
Example 1: A trader opens a position and closes it immediately due to an incorrect lot size or trading pair.

Evaluation Stage: If no significant profit was made or the impact is minimal, this will not be considered a breach.
Funded Stage: This may be reviewed during the payout process but will not result in an immediate breach.
Example 2: A trader opens multiple positions, and a few of them, despite being short-held, generate a significant percentage of the total profit.

Evaluation and Funded Stage: This will be considered a breach, as these trades are significantly contributing to your profits.
Example 3: A trader engages in aggressive scalping by frequently opening and closing short positions, possibly using Expert Advisors (EAs) to exploit small price movements.

Evaluation and Funded Stage: This behavior will be flagged as a breach, as it violates the guidelines for responsible trading.
We evaluate each case individually to determine appropriate action. Please ensure that your trading practices align with our guidelines to avoid any issues with your evaluation or funded account.

While not mandatory, we strongly recommend using stop losses in the Sim environment. A stop loss helps safeguard your virtual capital, limits potential losses, and provides a predefined exit point. It’s a responsible risk management practice that promotes disciplined trading and long-term success.

Understanding our drawdown Challenge Parameters:

One-Phase Challenges:

• Daily Drawdown:> 3%
• Total Drawdown:> 8%

Two-Step Challenges:

• Daily Drawdown:> 5%
• Total Drawdown:> 8%

Please note the daily drawdown is dynamic and adjusts relative to your account’s performance, while the total drawdown is static and firmly set based on your initial balance.

Static Drawdown Example with a $100,000 Balance:

Imagine you start a Two-Phase Challenge with an initial trading balance of $100,000.

Daily Drawdown: In this challenge, your daily drawdown limit is 5%. For a $100,000 account, this means your daily drawdown limit is set at $95,000. You cannot lose more than $5,000 (5% of $100,000) in a single trading day. If your account balance decreases by $5,000 or more in a single trading day, you would reach the daily drawdown limit for that day.

Total Drawdown: Now, the total drawdown limit for this challenge is 8%, based on your initial balance of $100,000. This implies that you cannot incur losses exceeding 8% of your starting balance throughout the entire challenge. Your total drawdown limit is fixed at $8,000 (8% of $100,000). This limit ensures that you won’t lose more than $8,000 in total during the entire challenge period, irrespective of how your account balance fluctuates.

Profit Consideration: It’s crucial to understand that if you initially make a profit, for example, increasing your balance to $105,000, and then experience losses that bring your balance back to $100,000, these losses will count toward the daily dynamic drawdown limit. The total static drawdown limit is set at $90,000, ensuring the account maintains stability. Profits earned are subject to the dynamic daily drawdown limit, which adjusts based on the higher of the closing balance or equity.

Instant Challenges:

Please note the daily drawdown is intraday and adjusts relative to your account’s performance and equity within the day while the total drawdown is Trailing Equity based and updates at every EOD.

Rest assured, we are committed to providing a transparent and fair trading environment for our traders. If you have any questions or need further clarification, feel free to reach out.

Trading challenges are structured tasks with specific goals and metrics that traders must complete to advance in order to obtain simulated live accounts.

We do not restrict trading styles and allow various strategies, including grid trading, Martingale, and more.

Some strategies are prohibited, such as account sharing, HFT, algorithmic trading and delayed data feed usage.

Yes, we enable weekend holding of positions in our trading challenges.

Yes, you can copy trade, but it’s important to ensure that you’re only copying from accounts that are owned by you, even if they’re across different platforms. This maintains compliance with our policies.

The accounts are not swap free

Yes, it is possible to use a VPS/VPN with our platform. Please make sure to inform us at support@fundedelite.com before using it so a team member can take note of your IP and tie it to your account. This is crucial for us to exclude IP breaches, account managing, and other security concerns.

Absolutely, we do allow all strategies, including the Martingale strategy. However, it’s important to note that we strictly prohibit any fraudulent use of our platform or any activities that violate our terms of service. We encourage responsible and ethical trading practices at all times.

Yes, you are allowed to use your own EAs, provided they are personally developed or fully owned by you and are used as tools to support your trading strategy. Acceptable uses include risk management assistance, trade confirmation, or chart-based analysis.

However, EAs must not execute trades independently or rely on fully automated strategies such as martingale, grid systems, scalping EAs (e.g., gold scalping bots), etc.. . These types of EAs are not permitted, as they do not reflect the trader’s own strategy and can pose risks to overall platform stability. Always ensure your EA is a complement to your manual strategy, not a replacement for it.

Funded Elite provides you with access to a comprehensive dashboard where you can monitor your trading progress, view performance metrics, and track your journey toward becoming an Elite Funded Trader.

We’re committed to ensuring a secure and fair trading environment for all traders. To enhance simplicity and security, we recommend using a single device with a unique IP address.

For traders on the move, your account will reflect the IP address of your current location. Just provide a valid document validating your journey to a new location.

Caution is advised against maintaining multiple accounts from similar IPs or using similar trading strategies across multiple accounts with identical IP addresses – these actions violate our policies.

When using a VPS for trading and occasionally logging in with a personal device, make sure to verify ownership of the VPS IP address.

In the event of policy violations related to multiple IP addresses, consequences may include a warning accompanied by profit deduction. While an account reset may occur, if your account isn’t in profit, no reset will take place. In severe cases, account termination without profit share is possible.

Our measures aim to prevent copy trading, account sharing, arbitrage, and other exploitative activities. We envision a trading community where members refrain from using multiple devices or trading styles deemed unethical.

At Funded Elite, we prioritize platform security. We encourage all traders to adhere to our evolving policies and guidelines, contributing to a secure and ethical trading environment. For inquiries or concerns, reach out to the Funded Elite Support Team at support@fundedelite.com
