Elite Trader FundingElite Trader Funding 150K 1-Step: Rules, Cost & Payout Analysis
How it scores
Elite Trader Funding 150K 1-Step ranks #61 of the 71 150K futures plans we benchmark, with a PropBench Score of 38. Its strongest part is rules, its weakest is payouts.
One try costs $594. The evaluation needs $9,000 on a $5,000 intraday trailing drawdown (1 in 6). The funded account needs $5,350 on a $5,000 intraday trailing drawdown (1 in 2.9). Together that is about 1 in 17.6 tries to a first payout on coin flip odds, so a first payout costs $6,832 on average (the typical plan of this size: $3,347).
A steady trader making $600 a day gets the first payout after 24 trading days and keeps $7,800 from 3 months of funded trading.
Cost$6,832 per first payout10
A trader with no edge reaches a profit of d before losing a static drawdown of D with chance D ÷ (D + d). A trailing floor that follows the peak gives e−d ÷ D; end of day trailing counts halfway between the two.
