It’s crucial to manage your investments within the stipulated limits. If you exceed the $600,000 maximum allocation for live funded accounts, you will not face disruption to your existing accounts. However, you will not be able to add to these accounts until the total allocation is brought back within the limit.

At FundedElite, we offer our users the flexibility to purchase an unlimited number of challenges. This approach is designed to cater to a wide range of trading strategies and preferences. However, there are some important limitations and geographical restrictions you should be aware of:

Maximum Allocation for Live Funded Accounts: While you can purchase as many challenges as you wish, the total allocation for live funded accounts is capped at $600,000. This means that, regardless of the number or type of challenges you complete, the combined value of your live funded accounts cannot exceed this amount.

Geographical Restrictions: Due to specific regulatory and compliance requirements, traders from certain countries are subject to different limits or are not permitted to participate in our challenges. These are as follows:

Vietnam: Traders can only purchase challenges up to $50,000.
Pakistan: The limit for traders is set at $100,000.
Banned Countries: We do not allow participation from traders in Iraq, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Lebanon, Libya, Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, and Somalia.

We accept all major credit/debit cards and cryptocurrencies as payment methods.

Yes, you can sign up for multiple challenges, with a total account funds limit of $600,000 USD.

To progress to Live Simulated Accounts and complete the verification process, you will need to provide the following documents:

  • Proof of identity (front and back of I.D. card or passport)
  • A selfie holding your ID or passport

Please ensure that you use your legal name, as it appears on your ID or Passport when signing up (no nicknames or call signs). Using your current address is also crucial, as KYC documents will be matched to what is on file.

It’s important to note that verification is not required until you reach the Simulated funded stage of your challenge.

Once your payment for an evaluation plan is confirmed, you will receive login details via email to access the evaluation.

Please note that due to the program’s instantaneous nature, all sales are final upon receiving these login credentials, and refunds will not be issued.

In certain cases, if you contact us early, and no trading activity has occurred on the evaluation account, we may consider exceptions and work with you to provide a refund. Contact our live support for assistance in such scenarios.

The fee serves as a trader motivation to treat the account carefully as it should be. The fees also help us cover the website and technology expenses, which enable our clients to have track of all the account’s movements. It is a small percentage compared to the account size we give our clients; it is the only potential loss our traders have.

Currently, Funded Trust does not offer a free trial. However, we have plans to introduce a free trial option in the future.

We are committed to enhancing our services and ensuring our community members have the opportunity to experience Funded Trust firsthand.

Rest assured that once the free trial becomes available, we will promptly inform our community through notifications and updates.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to this policy to maintain a secure and transparent payment environment.

During Evaluation Phase:

To successfully complete the evaluation phase, traders are required to engage in a minimum of 5 trading days. This entails opening positions on 5 distinct calendar days. While there are no specific constraints on position size or holding duration during these days, it is essential to ensure that trades are initiated across the stipulated 5 days. Even if the profit target is achieved before the completion of 5 trading days, the trader must fulfill the requirement of trading on 5 separate days.

During Trust Phase:

In the Trust phase, traders are expected to demonstrate a higher level of consistency and strategic trading. To prevent one-sided betting, hedging across different proprietary firms and accounts, and to discourage high-frequency trading (HFT) or scalping, specific criteria must be met. Traders need to trade for a minimum of 5 days, and these days will only be considered valid if the maximum lot size used on the account is consistently employed. Holding positions for just a few seconds to close them will be categorized as HFT or scalping and is not permitted.

In the Elite phase at FundedTrust, there is no specific profit target set for our traders. This stage is crafted to emulate real-world trading conditions, offering traders the opportunity to maximize their earnings potential without an imposed upper limit. Nonetheless, it’s important to adhere to the following guidelines:

Daily Drawdown Limit:

  • For 2-step challenge accounts: Traders must not exceed a 5% daily drawdown.
  • For 1-step challenge accounts: A more conservative 3% daily drawdown limit is applied.

Maximum Loss Limit:

  • For 2-step challenge accounts: The maximum loss threshold is set at 10% of the account balance.
  • For 1-step challenge accounts: The maximum loss cannot surpass 8% of the account balance.

Payout Period:

A minimum of 14 calendar days from the date of the first trade is required to pass before a trader can request the first payout.

Profit Split:

Traders are entitled to an 80% share of the net profits realized in their Elite phase account trading activities.

For Elite stage client accounts, traders can strive for unlimited profits as there are no specific profit targets imposed.

We’re committed to ensuring a secure and fair trading environment for all traders. To enhance simplicity and security, we recommend using a single device with a unique IP address.

For traders on the move, your account will reflect the IP address of your current location. Just provide a valid document validating your journey to a new location.

Caution is advised against maintaining multiple accounts from similar IPs or using similar trading strategies across multiple accounts with identical IP addresses – these actions violate our policies.

When using a VPS for trading and occasionally logging in with a personal device, make sure to verify ownership of the VPS IP address.

In the event of policy violations related to multiple IP addresses, consequences may include a warning accompanied by profit deduction. While an account reset may occur, if your account isn’t in profit, no reset will take place. In severe cases, account termination without profit share is possible.

Our measures aim to prevent copy trading, account sharing, arbitrage, and other exploitative activities. We envision a trading community where members refrain from using multiple devices or trading styles deemed unethical.

At Funded Trust, we prioritize platform security. We encourage all traders to adhere to our evolving policies and guidelines, contributing to a secure and ethical trading environment. For inquiries or concerns, reach out to the Funded Trust Support Team at support@fundedtrust.0rg

Here is our scaling plan:

  1. Initial Funded Stage:

    • Eligibility: Only for traders in the funded stage, not during evaluation.
    • Initial Balance: Set at the start (e.g., $100,000).
    • Profit Split: 80% to the trader.
    • Payout Frequency: First payout after 21 days, then biweekly.
    • Maximum Drawdown: Defined initially (e.g., 10% of initial balance).
  2. Balance Increase Stage:

    • Condition: Every 3 successful payouts.
    • Balance Increase: 10% after every 3 payouts (e.g., $100,000 becomes $110,000 after 3 payouts, $121,000 after 6 payouts).
  3. Enhanced Profit Split Stage:

    • Condition: After 5 successful payouts.
    • New Profit Split: Increases to 90% for the trader.
  4. Increased Payout Frequency Stage:

    • Condition: After 7 successful payouts.
    • New Frequency: Weekly payouts (previously biweekly).
  5. Drawdown Increase:

    • Condition: Alongside balance increase.
    • Increase: 1% additional total drawdown after every 3 payouts, up to a cap (e.g., from 8%-10% to 14%).

Key Points:

  • Scaling Limits: Conditional on maintaining performance and adhering to guidelines
  • Drawdown Cap: A limit on maximum drawdown increase for risk management.
  • Evolving Parameters: As balance grows, drawdown parameters adapt for larger position
    management.

Understanding our drawdown Challenge Parameters:

One-Phase Challenges:

  • Daily Drawdown:> 3%
  • Total Drawdown:> 8%

Two-Step Challenges:

  • Daily Drawdown:> 5%
  • Total Drawdown:> 10%

Please note the daily drawdown is dynamic and adjusts relative to your account’s performance, while the total drawdown is static and firmly set based on your initial balance.

Static Drawdown Example with a $100,000 Balance:

Imagine you start a Two-Phase Challenge with an initial trading balance of $100,000.

Daily Drawdown: In this challenge, your daily drawdown limit is 5%. For a $100,000 account, this means your daily drawdown limit is set at $95,000. You cannot lose more than $5,000 (5% of $100,000) in a single trading day. If your account balance decreases by $5,000 or more in a single trading day, you would reach the daily drawdown limit for that day.

Total Drawdown: Now, the total drawdown limit for this challenge is 8%, based on your initial balance of $100,000. This implies that you cannot incur losses exceeding 8% of your starting balance throughout the entire challenge. Your total drawdown limit is fixed at $8,000 (8% of $100,000). This limit ensures that you won’t lose more than $8,000 in total during the entire challenge period, irrespective of how your account balance fluctuates.

Profit Consideration: It’s crucial to understand that if you initially make a profit, for example, increasing your balance to $105,000, and then experience losses that bring your balance back to $100,000, these losses will count toward the daily dynamic drawdown limit. The total static drawdown limit is set at $90,000, ensuring the account maintains stability. Profits earned are subject to the dynamic daily drawdown limit, which adjusts based on the higher of the closing balance or equity.

Rest assured, we are committed to providing a transparent and fair trading environment for our traders. If you have any questions or need further clarification, feel free to reach out.

While not mandatory, we strongly recommend using stop losses in the Sim environment. A stop loss helps safeguard your virtual capital, limits potential losses, and provides a predefined exit point. It’s a responsible risk management practice that promotes disciplined trading and long-term success.

No, we do not impose a specific time limit on how long you can hold a trade in any of our programs. However, please note that excessively short holding times may be flagged as High-Frequency Trading (HFT), which is strictly prohibited.

If you encounter technical issues, such as platform outages or data feed disruptions, please reach out
to our support team immediately. We will work to resolve the issue promptly and ensure it doesn’t
affect your challenge progress.

Funded Trust is committed to transparency. There are absolutely no hidden rules when you join our program. Every essential detail you need to know can always be found right here in our FAQ section.

In cases where we observe that a challenge has been passed through a very limited number of trades, which is often associated with a high risk of hedge trading between different proprietary firm accounts, or by utilizing trading strategies with not allowed Expert Advisors (EAs)—specifically, hidden EAs or high-frequency scalping EAs—we will transition the associated live account to an “evaluation” status. During this period, the leverage available to the trader will be reduced to 1:30. This measure is implemented to mitigate excessive gambling or risk to our company, as we are unable to replicate these trades on live accounts.

It’s important to note that when clients employ prohibited trading strategies, we directly close their accounts. However, when we find irregularities that don’t explicitly breach our rules but still present concerns, we adopt the evaluation approach.

A trader under evaluation is required to demonstrate consistent trading practices. Upon achieving this, and at the time of their third payout, the trader’s account will be reinstated to the normal leverage level. This policy is in place to ensure both the integrity of our trading environment and the safeguarding of our company’s interests.

After meeting the payout requirements (minimum 21 days), we aim to process and issue rewards within a maximum of 24 hours. After the first payout, you will be updated to bi-weekly payouts.

We process all payouts through bank transfers (Wise, Revolut, etc.) or cryptocurrencies.
