Elite Trader Funding Payout Rules: Payouts, Withdrawal Method and Timing by Plan

Every row runs until you reach the $25,000 reward cap per trader and the move to LIVE ELITE. The $150K End of Day account is in the tables but is not sold any more; on October 11, 2026 ETF sold Static in 10K, 25K and 50K, End of Day in 50K and 100K, and Diamond Hands in 100K.

The cycle maximum is the most you can take in that cycle, not a target you are paid automatically. You only move to the next, larger cycle after you have done the cycle’s Active Trade Days and withdrawn its full maximum.

The Static plan article adds a forfeiture rule: if you qualify for the next cycle before you have withdrawn the whole of the current one, the unused part of the current cycle is lost. Its own example: withdraw $1,500 of a $2,000 cycle, qualify for the next cycle, and the remaining $500 is forfeited.

Bought before July 6, 2026, or on or after July 28, 2026: 8 Active Trade Days for cycle 1, then 10 per cycle. Bought July 6 to 27, 2026 (a limited-time offer): 5, 5, 3 and 2 ATDs for cycles 1 to 4, with the same amounts. Your dashboard shows the exact requirement.

The current 1-Step tables start lower than the older ones ($1,000 against $1,250 on a 50K first cycle) and the request floor is $250, not $100. 1-Step is also the only current plan whose funded drawdown trails unrealized profit until the safety net is reached.

DTF skips the evaluation, but the payout gate is the hardest on the site. A 50K DTF day only counts if it makes at least $600 and at least 62% of your best day, and you need 15 of them in every cycle, not just the first.

The DTF article says that when you reach the $25,000 cap (counted across all your accounts), trading stops, the account is revoked and you are moved to LIVE ELITE. DTF accounts bought before September 17, 2025 keep older tables (50K: $5,000 every cycle).

On top of the safety net and ATDs, a revamped Fast Track funded account needs 30% consistency at reward: your best day can be no more than 30% of your total profit. The Request Reward button does not appear until both the ATDs and the consistency rule are met.

The Fast Track article lists only three cycles and a cap equal to their sum ($2,250 and $3,000). The general payout-amounts article lists the same three cycles with a “$25,000 & Live” cap. Ask support which applies to your account before planning past cycle 3.

Every plan article says accounts bought before September 17, 2025 “will continue under the previous reward/LIVE ELITE policies”. The legacy tables pay more per cycle and end in a column marked “No Min/Max” (legacy 50K 1-Step: $100 – $2,000, then $100 – $2,250, then no minimum or maximum). Legacy accounts use the older ATD rule ($200 and 23% of best day).

Most third-party write-ups still quote the legacy split (“100% of the first $12,500, then 90%”) or legacy cycle sizes. If your account is newer than September 17, 2025, those numbers do not apply to you.

The minimum balance is the level that fails the account once the safety net has been reached. Before that, the plan’s normal drawdown applies.

You must reach the safety net before your first request, and you can never withdraw from it. On a 50K account that means $2,100 of realized profit stays in the account; only profit above $52,100 can be paid out.

This applies to 1-Step, Static, End of Day and Diamond Hands. DTF uses its own minimums (table above). The rule applies to the funded account only; during an evaluation any day with a trade counts toward the 5-day minimum.

Best day so far $1,000: on a new account another day needs at least $300 (30%) to count, because $300 is higher than the $250 floor. Best day $600: the $250 floor decides, since 30% is only $180. Your best day never resets after a payout; it only moves up when you beat it.

ETF says the 30% rule does not cap daily profit. A huge day is allowed, but it raises the bar for every later day to count, so one outsized day can make the next eight or ten ATDs much harder.

To advance to the next reward cycle you must meet the ATD requirement and withdraw the cycle’s maximum. You can do this in several requests of at least the minimum, but a new request can only be made once the previous one has been processed. The ATD count resets at the start of each cycle.

A 50K 1-Step in cycle 1: after 8 ATDs you can withdraw $250 at a time until you have taken $1,000. Then cycle 2 starts, you need 10 new ATDs, and the cycle maximum becomes $1,250.

Once an Elite Sim-Funded account is up 20%, losing more than 35% of total accumulated profit from that point lets ETF remove the account from the Elite Sim program and disqualifies you from LIVE ELITE. It overrides the original drawdown, can trigger intraday, in one session or over the account’s life, and is checked at reward requests and routine risk audits. Giving back exactly 35% does not trigger it.

After a payout the limit is still 35% of the “Reward Adjustment” figure (total profit earned) on your dashboard, not of your current balance.

Place at least one valid trade per account every calendar week and log in at least once every 30 days. Missing either disables the account and forfeits accumulated profits or credits. Use the self-serve form or support to request a break in advance.

Wait for the approval email from Payroll before trading again. Any trading on the day you request does not count toward your ATD total. Once approved, the amount is deduc
