Elite Trader FundingElite Trader Funding 100K DTF: Rules, Cost & Payout Analysis
How it scores
Elite Trader Funding 100K DTF ranks #63 of the 77 100K futures plans we benchmark, with a PropBench Score of 39. Its strongest part is rules, its weakest is payouts.
There is no evaluation: one try costs $997. The funded account needs $10,000 on a $5,000 static drawdown (1 in 3). Together that is about 1 in 3 tries to a first payout on coin flip odds, so a first payout costs $2,991 on average (the typical plan of this size: $2,601).
A steady trader making $400 a day gets the first payout after 40 trading days and keeps $1,500 from 3 months of funded trading.
Cost$2,991 per first payout37
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.
