Instant-Funded model overview
Updated 2026-07-05
Quick answer
Instant-Funded plans (Elite Direct, Pro Elite) start funded on purchase. There is no evaluation, but funded payout qualifiers and the 20% consistency rule still apply.
- Elite Direct: $159 fee → $3,000 funded, 4% daily / 8% max DD, 20% consistency
- Pro Elite: $259 fee → $5,000 funded, 4% daily / 8% max DD, 20% consistency
- 80% trader profit split on both plans
- $100 minimum trader share for every payout (no profit-to-unlock threshold)
- Purchase does not mean instant payout — funded qualifiers still apply
Worked example — Pro Elite first payout math
Fee paid: $259 → $5,000 funded 5 funded trading days required 20 qualifying funded trades required (each ≥ 0.5% of $5,000 = $25) Minimum trader share: $100 — gross profit needed = $125 (80% of $125 = $100) At $125 gross profit: 80% trader share = $100 payable
Edge cases
- Why do Instant-Funded plans have a consistency rule?
Consistency ensures payout eligibility reflects steady trading, not a single outsized winner.
- Can I trade every day on Elite Direct?
Yes. Regular drawdown, size, and payout rules apply, but there is no daily profit cap and no per-day trade cap.
