Also know
Close all trades 1 minute before the instrument's market close (no overnight holds). Be flat from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after listed major news events (Terms of Service). At least one trade per account every calendar week. After the account is up 20%, giving back more than 35% of accumulated profit can remove it from the program. Up to 10 Elite resets per account (fee). Trade only the current, highest-volume contract. Elite reset fee $147.

Payouts

getting paid
Days needed before a payout
8 ATDs for cycle 1, 10 ATDs for cycles 2+
How often
Approvals Mon-Fri from 3 PM ET (target within 48 hours); Elite Sim rewards paid in two batches, Monday and Wednesday (cut-offs Friday 5 PM ET and Tuesday 5 PM ET). A new cycle starts after each reward.
Profit split
Up to 100% of simulated profit, up to the $25,000 per-trader reward cap; LIVE ELITE is 80% to the trader
Minimum payout
$250
Maximum payout
Cycle 1: $1,000; cycle 2: $1,250; cycle 3: $1,500; cycle 4+: $1,750 (accounts bought on/after July 28, 2026). Total cap $25,000 per trader across all accounts (then LIVE ELITE consideration); lifetime sim cap $150,000.
Buffer / safety net
Safety net of drawdown + $100 in realized profit ($2,100) must be reached and stays in the account
Also know
Safety net must be reached first and cannot be withdrawn. To move to the next cycle you must withdraw that cycle's full maximum; unused amounts are forfeited when the next cycle starts. An Active Trade Day (ATD) for evaluations bought on/after Oct 2, 2026 2:00 PM PT needs at least $250 realized profit and at least 30% of your best day's profit (before that: $200 and 23%). The day a reward is requested does not count as an ATD. KYC (SumSub) and Rise onboarding required. Paid via Rise (bank, crypto). Purchases July 6-27, 2026 (promotion) used 5/5/3/2 ATDs; older (pre-July 6, 2026) accounts have $100 minimum and different cycle maximums.
