Funded Elite

Funded Elite – Trading Conditions

Forbidden Trading Practices

    ● Hyper-aggressive position sizing & all-in trades without documented risk logic

    ● Arbitrage & latency arbitrage — exploitation of price feed delays or errors

    ● Ultra-short-cycle scalping without documented logic

    ● Gap trading — opening trades within 2 hours before a market closure of 2+ hours

    ● Hedging across accounts — simultaneous opposite positions on correlated instruments

    ● Copy trading between accounts — unless expressly authorized

    ● Third-party EAs, scripts, bots, AI or ultra-high-speed tools

    ● Account management — allowing third parties to trade on your behalf

    ● Server overloading — more than 2,000 server requests per day

    ● Switching trading methodologies between evaluation phases

    ● Strategies that artificially distribute profit across days without proportionally distributing market risk

    ● VPN & proxy usage — circumventing geographical restrictions is a fundamental breach

The methodology consistency rule is worth highlighting. If you change your approach between phases — even if both approaches are legitimate — Funded Elite may classify it as a violation. Trade consistently from day one.

News Trading

    ● News trading is allowed on most programs — no explicit ban in the T&C

    ● All-or-nothing approaches around news events → prohibited under Anti-Gamification Policy

    ● Gap trading — opening trades within 2 hours before a market closure of 2+ hours → explicitly prohibited

Expert Advisors

    ● Third-party EAs → strictly prohibited

    ● Scripts, bots & AI tools → prohibited

    ● Custom EAs → permitted if they don't fall under prohibited practices

    ● 2,000 server requests per day maximum — automated systems that exceed this limit breach the T&C

Copy Trading

    ● Copy trading between accounts → prohibited unless expressly authorized

    ● Coordinated trading → prohibited

    ● Account management by third parties → strictly prohibited

    ● Account sharing → not permitted under any circumstances

The Video Interview & Risk Interview

Two separate interview mechanisms worth knowing about before you apply for a payout:

Video Interview — can be requested at any stage, including while a payout is pending. You have 5 business days to schedule it. Failure to comply results in denial of all pending payouts, account cancellation & termination.

Risk Interview — conducted to verify trading methodology, confirm compliance with the Anti-Gamification Policy & assess risk management practices. Cooperation is mandatory. Failing or refusing the interview blocks account progression & payouts.

Both interviews can be triggered after payouts have already been approved. Community reports include accounts of interviews being used to reclassify previously approved payouts — something worth researching before committing to the platform.

Anti-Gamification Policy

Funded Elite's Anti-Gamification Policy requires traders to demonstrate "proof of skill" replicable in real-world trading. Approaches relying on luck-based outcomes rather than technical or fundamental analysis constitute a breach.

In practice, the determination of what constitutes "luck-based" vs "skill-based" trading is made entirely at Funded Elite's sole discretion. There are no objective thresholds defined — which gives the firm broad authority to reclassify trading it doesn't want to pay out.

What the Reviews Say

Trustpilot has flagged Funded Elite's profile for fake reviews — meaning a number of reviews were removed for violating their guidelines. The platform's rating is currently unavailable.

Community reports include accounts of payouts being denied after multiple successful prior payouts, profits reclassified as "high volume trading" retroactively, and accounts closed without specific technical evidence being provided to the trader. Funded Elite's T&C explicitly states that enforcement actions are final, binding & at the Company's sole discretion — with no obligation to provide evidence to the trader.

Final Take

Funded Elite's rules on paper are not unusual — most of the prohibited practices are standard across the industry. What distinguishes the firm is the breadth of discretionary enforcement mechanisms available after a payout has been requested or approved.

The combination of mandatory interviews at any stage, retroactive review of all past trading, no obligation to provide evidence for enforcement actions & a Trustpilot Warning for fake reviews creates a risk profile that goes beyond what the Hidden Rules Meter score alone suggests.

Research current trader experiences extensively before purchasing. The rules are readable. The enforcement is where the questions are.

Hidden Rules Meter: 3.3/10 — Trust Score: 3.3/5 — Trustpilot: ⚠️ Warning.
