Additional Rules

No evaluation phase — funded from day one: All funded account rules apply from the very first trade. Traders must manage the EOD trailing drawdown and 20% consistency rule from trade one with no warm-up evaluation period.
No profit target to enter — only a payout goal to withdraw: There is no challenge profit target. Trading can begin immediately. However, withdrawals are only accessible after generating $2,000 in funded profits, making the first payout the primary short-term milestone.
No daily loss limit: The Instant $25,000 account imposes no session-level loss cap. The only risk boundary is the $1,000 EOD trailing drawdown. Maximum intraday flexibility is provided, with full responsibility for session-level risk management placed on the trader.
EOD trailing drawdown of $1,000 — End of Day: The $1,000 maximum loss limit trails the highest end-of-day closing balance. The floor updates only at session close — intraday equity spikes, including unrealized profits from open positions, do not move the floor during the session. If the account closes Day 1 at $25,500, the new floor becomes $24,500. The floor only moves upward — it never decreases. Breach at any session close permanently terminates the funded account.
EOD vs Trailing Equity — the key advantage over Prime: Unlike the Prime account's trailing equity model which raises the floor in real time with every unrealized tick, the Instant EOD model only updates the floor at session close. Intraday drawdowns, open positions that swing against the trader, and unrealized losses do not affect the floor during the trading session. A trader can be $900 intraday against the current floor and recover before session close without breaching — a scenario that would immediately terminate a Prime account.
Minimum 10 trading days required before first payout: The Instant account requires 10 qualified trading days before a withdrawal can be requested — the highest minimum trading day requirement across all FuturesElite account types. These days can accumulate at any pace with no deadline. Each qualifying day must generate a minimum net profit of $100 on a $25,000 Instant account.
20% consistency rule applies permanently: No single trading day may generate profits equal to or exceeding 20% of total funded profits accumulated since account creation or last payout. On a $25,000 Instant account with a $2,000 payout goal, a single day generating $400 or more requires $2,000+ in total profits before a payout is eligible. This is the most restrictive consistency threshold in the FuturesElite lineup and applies without relaxation on the 25K account size.
25K is the only Instant size where consistency does NOT scale to 30%: Per FuturesElite's consistency policy, the 20% rule on the $25,000 Instant account is fixed permanently — it does not increase toward 30% with payout history. All larger Instant account sizes ($50K, $100K, $150K) benefit from the progressive scaling toward 30%, but the $25K Instant maintains 20% throughout the entire funded lifecycle regardless of payout count.
2 contracts make the EOD floor highly manageable: With only 2 Mini or Micro contracts on a $25,000 Instant account, a single 1-point adverse move generates $100 of closed session loss — 10% of the $1,000 EOD buffer per point. Traders have meaningful session-level flexibility before the EOD floor is at risk, making the $25,000 Instant the most forgiving Instant account in terms of daily intraday movement tolerance.
No buffer zone — payouts begin immediately after profit goal is met: Unlike older FuturesElite Instant structures that required a 5% profit buffer to remain maintained after withdrawals, the current Instant model has no buffer. Once the $2,000 profit goal is reached and 10 trading days are completed, a withdrawal can be requested without maintaining any remaining profit threshold.
News trading allowed: News trading is permitted including during FOMC, CPI, and NFP. Strategies solely designed to exploit immediate post-release price spikes remain prohibited.

Scaling Plan

Immediate funded access with no evaluation: The FuturesElite Instant $25,000 account provides direct access to a live funded account from the moment of purchase. No challenge, no profit target to pass, and no evaluation phase of any kind is required. Trading begins immediately upon account activation.
Full contract access from day one: The Instant $25,000 account provides immediate access to 2 contracts (Mini or Micro) from the very first trade. There is no progressive scaling plan — full position capacity is available throughout the entire funded lifecycle without profit milestones required to unlock it.
Payout profit goal of $2,000: Before any withdrawal can be requested, total funded profits must reach $2,000 (8% of the starting balance). This is a one-time first-cycle requirement. Subsequent cycles retain the same $2,000 payout goal. Scalping trades do not count toward the payout profit goal.
EOD trailing drawdown locks at initial balance: As the Instant funded account generates profits, the EOD trailing floor rises with each profitable session close. Once total profits accumulate to the maximum loss limit amount ($1,000), the trailing floor permanently locks at the initial starting balance of $25,000, providing permanent downside protection from the starting capital level for the remainder of the funded lifecycle.
Progressive consistency rule: The 20% single-day consistency rule applies from the first funded trade. With each successful payout completed, the consistency threshold increases toward a maximum of 30%, giving traders progressively more single-day profit flexibility as they build a funded track record.
Profit split of 90%: All funded profits are paid at a 90% split to the trader.
Maximum capital access through bundles: FuturesElite offers bulk bundle discounts, with the 5th account free when purchasing 5 $25,000 Instant accounts simultaneously.
