FuturesElite rules in full
Max DD Type
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).
Daily DD Type
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.
Consistency Rule
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.
Minimum Trading Days
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.
Time Limit
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.
Leverage
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).
News Trading
Tier 1 news (employment reports, CPI, EIA and key agricultural reports) allowed in evaluations. On funded accounts, trades in a restricted news window are voided rather than breached. Not allowed on Nitro Sim Funded accounts. Straddles and strangles around news prohibited.
Holding Restrictions
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.
EAs/Copy
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.
Commissions
Exchange and regulatory fees per round turn (for example $2.80 on ES and NQ, $0.74 on MES and MNQ); DXFeed platforms $1.60 per micro and $5.00 per standard contract round trip. Level 1 data free; Level 2 $39 a month. Live traders pay their own market data and commissions.
Scaling rules
Scaling Plan
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.
FuturesElite review
FuturesElite is a futures prop firm run by Quantum SRL of Latina, Italy, and founded by the team behind the CFD firm FundedElite. It sells four account lines at $25,000, $50,000, $100,000 and $150,000, each for a one time fee with no activation charge. Elite is a one step evaluation with targets from $1,250 to $9,000, an end of day trailing drawdown, no daily loss limit unless one is chosen at checkout, a 40% or 50% consistency rule during the evaluation and a 90% split. Prime adds a daily loss limit that pauses the account for 24 hours rather than failing it, can be passed in one trading day, and applies a 40% consistency rule once funded. Nitro offers daily payouts with no daily loss limit but switches to an intraday trailing drawdown at the funded stage. Instant accounts skip the evaluation, pay an 80% split and apply a 20% consistency rule. List prices run from $96 for a $25,000 Prime to $569 for a $150,000 Instant, and the checkout showed discounts of 20% to 35% at the time of review. Trading runs on Tradovate, NinjaTrader, WealthCharts, DeepChart, Quantower and ATAS, positions must be flat by 4:55 PM Eastern, and payouts arrive as credits that can be withdrawn through Rise or in crypto.
Suits
Intraday futures traders who want low entry fees, end of day drawdowns and a choice between capped payout models.
Less suited to
FuturesElite may not suit you if you hold positions overnight, rely on automated or very short scalping strategies, or want uncapped payouts.
Pros
- List prices start at $96 for a $25,000 Prime account, with no activation fee on any account.
- Elite, Prime and Instant accounts use an end of day drawdown, so intraday swings do not move the floor.
- Elite accounts have no daily loss limit by default and no consistency rule once funded.
- Nitro accounts allow a payout request every day once the buffer is built.
- Six platforms are supported, including Tradovate, NinjaTrader and Quantower.
Cons
- Trustpilot shows no rating, stating that the company has been pressuring people to change or remove negative reviews.
- Every funded account has a payout cap, such as $2,000 per request on a $50,000 Elite.
- Elite payouts are limited to 50% of account profit and need six profitable days above a minimum amount.
- Trades held 10 seconds or less, or making $20 or less net profit per contract, count as scalping and are excluded from payouts.
- Positions must be closed by 4:55 PM Eastern each day, and fully automated trading is banned.
Verdict
FuturesElite's appeal lies in low list prices, a 90% split on its evaluation accounts and a choice of payout models, from daily requests on Nitro to Elite accounts with no consistency rule once funded. Drawdowns on Elite, Prime and Instant are measured at the end of the day, so intraday swings do not move the floor. The trade off is a dense rulebook. Every funded account carries a payout cap, from $1,000 on a $25,000 account up to $5,000 on later payouts from a $150,000 Instant, and Elite payouts are limited to half of the profit on the account and need six profitable days, each above a minimum amount. Prime and Nitro require a buffer above the starting balance that can never be withdrawn. Trades held 10 seconds or less, or making $20 or less net profit per contract, are classed as scalping and their profit is removed from the withdrawable amount. Fully automated trading, hedging across accounts and account flipping are banned, only one trader is allowed per household, and overnight holding is not permitted. Approved payouts are credited as Elite Credits and withdrawn through Rise or in crypto, and anti money laundering checks can route part of a payout back to the payment method used for purchase. Trustpilot shows no rating for futureselite.com, stating that the company has been pressuring people to change or remove their negative reviews. The firm suits intraday futures traders who accept capped payouts in exchange for low entry costs and flexible account types.

Questions about FuturesElite
Is FuturesElite legit?
FuturesElite is a brand of Quantum SRL, a company registered in Latina, Italy, and was set up by the team behind FundedElite. It states that it is not a regulated broker and that its evaluation and funded accounts are demo accounts. Trustpilot lists 351 reviews but shows no rating, stating that the company has been pressuring people to change or remove their negative reviews.
How much does a FuturesElite account cost?
List prices for a $50,000 account are $160 on Elite, $179 on Prime, $152 on Nitro and $349 on Instant. At $150,000 they are $368, $369, $328 and $569. Fees are one time with no activation charge, and the checkout showed new user discounts of 20% to 35% at the time of review, with larger reductions on bundles.
What is the difference between Elite, Prime and Nitro?
All three are one step evaluations with the same profit targets. Elite has no daily loss limit unless one is chosen at checkout, and a 40% or 50% consistency rule in the evaluation, with none once funded. Prime adds a daily loss limit that pauses the account for 24 hours and applies a 40% consistency rule when funded. Nitro offers daily payouts but uses an intraday trailing drawdown on the funded account.
How do FuturesElite payouts work?
The firm reports an average approval time of about 24 hours, and approved payouts are added to an Elite Credits balance. Traders can withdraw credits through Rise, which supports bank transfers and crypto, take up to $500 per request directly in crypto, or spend credits on new accounts with a 10% bonus. Each account type has its own payout cap, minimum request and qualifying days.
Does FuturesElite allow news trading?
Tier 1 news trading, such as employment reports and CPI releases, is allowed during the evaluation. On funded accounts a trade placed inside a restricted news window is voided rather than treated as a breach. Nitro funded accounts cannot trade Tier 1 news at all. Straddles and strangles aimed at news volatility remain prohibited on every account type.
Can I hold positions overnight with FuturesElite?
No. All positions must be closed before 4:55 PM Eastern each day, and any trade left open is liquidated automatically. The futures market is closed from Friday afternoon to Sunday evening, so weekend holding is not possible either. Live accounts must be flat at least 15 minutes before the market closes.
