FuturesElite vs YLOS Trading

Prime: $600, $1,200, $1,800 or $2,700 measured from the higher of balance and equity at the previous daily close; hitting it is a soft breach that locks the account for 24 hours. Elite: none by default, or the same soft lock on any size if chosen at checkout, applying in the evaluation and once funded. None on Nitro and Instant.

End of day trailing on Elite, Prime and Instant, locking at the starting balance once enough profit is made (Elite 25K: at the starting balance once $1,000 profit is made; Elite 50K to 150K: the floor locks at $100 above the start). Nitro: end of day trailing in the evaluation, intraday trailing on equity when funded until it locks $100 above the starting balance. Limits $1,000 (25K), $2,000 (50K; $1,800 on Instant), $3,000 (100K), $4,500 (150K).

Evaluation (Standard, No Activation Fee, Freedom): end of day, but the account is blocked immediately if the balance falls below the limit intraday. Funded: real time (tick by tick) trailing until profit equals the drawdown plus $100, then static. Freedom 2.0 funded: end of day, never becomes static. Static Prime: static $1,500 drawdown. EOD Drawdown add on available.

Evaluation: Elite 3 with the 40% consistency option or 2 with the 50% option; Nitro 2 on 25K and none on larger sizes; Prime none. Funded payouts: Elite 6 profitable days of at least $100 to $350 depending on size; Prime 3 on 25K only; Nitro 1; Instant 10. Trades held 10 seconds or less, or making $20 or less net profit per contract ($2 on micros), are classed as scalping; in evaluations scalp profit above 50% of the target holds the upgrade for manual review.

Standard and No Activation Fee evaluation: minimum 1 day. Freedom 2.0 evaluation: at least 5 days with $50 profit a day. Funded payouts: 10 trading days with 7 winning days of $50 or more (Standard, No Activation Fee); 5 days with $200 net profit a day (Instant Funding).

None to pass. Accounts with no trade for 29 days are terminated; Instant accounts bought after 23 November 2025 need a trade at least every 7 days.

None; one time fee with no renewals. Accounts must record activity at least once every 7 days (a closed result of at least $100 positive or negative).

Allowed in the evaluation. Funded accounts must not be positioned at the time of news releases (may trade immediately after). Freedom 2.0 funded and the Freedom Rules add on remove this restriction. Bracketing news with pending orders on both sides is prohibited.

No overnight or weekend holding; all positions are closed automatically at 4:55 PM EST. Live accounts must be flat 15 minutes before the close.

Intraday only. All positions must be closed at least 30 minutes before the close (3:30 pm Chicago time on normal days); holding past the close blocks the account and zeroes the balance. No overnight or swing trading.

Fully automated AI or bot trading and HFT prohibited. Martingale and grid allowed; DCA allowed if not the primary strategy. An in house copier can mirror trades across the trader's own accounts; VPS, VPN or trade copier use must be declared to support. Hedging across accounts, users or firms prohibited. One trader per household.

Elite: 40% or 50% in the evaluation, chosen at checkout on every size, none once funded. Prime: none in the evaluation, 40% when funded. Nitro: 50% in the evaluation, none funded. Instant: 20% for the first payout, 25% for the second and 30% from the third. Breaking it delays a pass or payout rather than breaching the account.

Funded Standard and No Activation Fee: no day above 40% of net profit in the period (resets after each withdrawal), plus a median rule (largest loss no more than 5 times the median winning trade) and contract size consistency. Instant Funding: 30%. Freedom 2.0: evaluation requires no single day to reach 40% of the target; no funded consistency, median or contract consistency rules.

KYC through Veriff before the funded upgrade; approval in about 24 hours on average (reviews take 24 to 72 working hours), with approved payouts credited as Elite Credits. Elite: 50% of account profit up to the cap after 6 qualifying days. Prime and Nitro: a buffer of the maximum loss plus $100 must be built and can never be withdrawn. Instant: first payout profit goal of $1,750 to $10,000. AML rules may route part of a payout back to the purchase payment method.

Balance must exceed a buffer of the drawdown plus $100 (e.g. $52,600 on 50K). Compliance review within 1 business day, funds released to the wallet within 24 to 48 business hours. Initial withdrawals are capped by account size: $1,500 (25K), $2,000 (50K), $2,500 (100K), $2,750 (150K) and $3,500 (300K) per withdrawal. Freedom 2.0 caps: $1,000 (25K) and $1,500 (50K) per withdrawal.

Elite: after every 6 qualifying profitable days. Nitro: every 24 hours once $500 is withdrawable above the buffer. Prime and Instant: once the buffer or profit goal, consistency and minimum days are met.

Standard and No Activation Fee: every 10 trading days. Instant Funding: every 5 trading days. Freedom 2.0: one withdrawal per day. Requests accepted from 5 am Monday to 12 pm Friday Chicago time.

Not applicable; contract limits Elite 2, 4, 8 and 12; Prime 2, 4, 6 and 10 minis (or 10 micros per mini); Nitro 2, 5, 8 and 10; Instant 4, 4, 8 and 12 (25K to 150K).

Not applicable; contract limits of 4 minis (25K), 10 (50K), 14 (100K), 17 (150K) and 35 (300K) on Standard, No Activation Fee and Instant Funding; Freedom 2.0 2 minis (25K) and 5 minis (50K) per pricing page.

No account size scaling. Elite funded accounts use contract scaling (for example 50K: 2 contracts below $2,500 profit, 4 from $3,500). Prime and Instant have full contract limits from day one. The 4th consecutive successful Elite payout is the usual path to a live account, at the discretion of the Risk Team; a Nitro account moves to live when one day's profit reaches $4,000 to $10,000 by size, with profit above that cap forfeited.
