FuturesElite rules in full
- Price Limit Rule: Traders are prohibited from trading any product within 2% of a CME price limit
- Dollar Cost Averaging: DCA is allowed provided it’s not your primary trading strategy.
- Account Rolling: Purchasing and trading multiple challenge accounts aggressively with the hope of succeeding in at least one is prohibited.
- Expert Advisors: Fully automated trading using AI or bots is not permitted
- Copy Trading: Copying trades from other traders’ accounts is prohibited. However, you are allowed to copy trades between your own accounts without any restrictions.
- Hedging or Reverse Trading: Hedging and reverse trading cannot be conducted using different accounts, multiple users, or within the same challenge.
- Order Fill Manipulation: Placing multiple limit orders at the same price to manipulate order fills is strictly forbidden.
- News trading: News trading restrictions apply to funded phases, Instant Futures Accounts and custom evaluations; custom challenges and instant custom accounts require a news trading add-on to allow it during challenge phase instant accounts respectively.
- Prohibited Activities: Straddles/strangles or disguised news trades to exploit volatility.
- For Tier 1 news: All trades must be closed at least 2 minutes before the news release. Trades can only be reopened no sooner than 2 minutes afterward the news have ended (we also consider 2 minutes of news duration for a total of 6 minutes, 2 before and 4 after the release of the data)
- For non-Tier 1 news: Open trades can remain, but new trades around (just before, during, or immediately after ) the event are discouraged to avoid volatility risks.
Inactivity Rule*
- Standard inactivity rule: Accounts are terminated if no trade is placed for 29 days.
For Instant accounts purchased after November 23, 2025: Must place at least one trade every 7 days, or the account will be breached.
- Accounts remain active with recurring monthly payments, even without trades, but regular activity is encouraged to avoid termination.
- Terminated accounts can be recovered by settling all outstanding payments (requires prior contact for pauses due to special reasons)
- Trading Hours: Futures trading hours: 6:00 PM EST to 5:00 PM EST the next day; daily break from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM EST for settlement.
Weekend closure
- Market closed from Friday 5:00 PM EST until Sunday 6:00 PM EST; holidays announced in advance.
- No overnight positions: All trades must be closed by 4:59 PM EST daily; open positions are automatically liquidated by the system.
Scalping Rule
- FuturesElite allows microscalping within certain limits:
- Trades executed in less than 10 seconds (Min 11 seconds).
- Trades equal to or less than 1 points on NQ (Nasdaq 100) futures or the equivalent on other instruments.
- Evaluation: If scalping trades exceed 50% of the target, the account will not be eligible for an upgrade to a funded account.
- Sim Funded: Scalping transactions on funded accounts do not trigger a violation. Scalping trades are not removed from your payout request, but they will be removed from your leftover profit/buffer chosen by the user. If the scalped amount is higher than the remaining buffer, the account will be breached.
Fair Play and Prohibited Trading Practices Explained
- If prohibited trading practices are detected at FuturesElite, the account may be immediately terminated without warning, any profits from those practices will be voided, and passed evaluations may be reviewed to prevent progression to the funded phase
Giveaway accounts Rules
Giveaway accounts follow the same guidelines and rules as all other accounts. The only difference is in the payout cap, which is set at 2%, the profit target at 8% and the days between payouts set at 21, regardless of the plan or account size, and the consistency is set at 50% and set only in the challenge phase of your account.
