Elite Trader FundingElite Trader Funding 100K Diamond Hands: Rules, Cost & Payout Analysis
How it scores
Elite Trader Funding 100K Diamond Hands ranks #53 of the 77 100K futures plans we benchmark, with a PropBench Score of 45. Its strongest part is rules, its weakest is payouts.
One try costs $704. The evaluation needs $5,000 on a $3,500 end of day trailing drawdown (1 in 4.3). The funded account needs $3,700 on a $3,500 end of day trailing drawdown (1 in 3.1). Together that is about 1 in 13.2 tries to a first payout on coin flip odds, so a first payout costs $6,170 on average (the typical plan of this size: $2,601).
A steady trader making $400 a day gets the first payout after 23 trading days and keeps $9,150 from 3 months of funded trading.
Cost$6,170 per first payout12
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.
