Elite Trader Funding (ETF) rules, explained

ETF runs an end-of-day drawdown and dropped its consistency rule for newer accounts — which makes it friendlier to uneven days than most.

Trailing drawdown

On a 50K account the trailing drawdown is $2,000 and trails end-of-day — only your closing balance moves the floor, so intraday spikes do not. It locks $100 above your starting balance once you clear the buffer.

Daily loss limit

There is a $1,100 daily loss limit on a 50K — a protective per-day cap.

No consistency rule (newer accounts)

For accounts activated after August 2024, ETF does not apply a consistency cap — so a single big day will not lock your payout the way it would at Apex or Tradeify. Always confirm which rule set your account falls under, since terms differ by activation date.
