Full FuturesElite Review
Our complete independent review of FuturesElite, covering all challenge types, rules, payout conditions, and our editorial verdict.
Introduction to FuturesElite
FuturesElite is operated by Quantum SRL (registration number 03095010595), headquartered in Latina, Italy. CEO Christian Habibi founded the firm in 2023 with a focus exclusively on futures trading across CME, CBOT, COMEX, and NYMEX markets. With a 4.7/5 Trustpilot rating and $3M+ in total payouts, the firm is establishing a track record in the futures prop space, though it remains younger and smaller than the longest-standing futures prop firms.
FuturesElite differentiates itself through an unusually wide platform selection - six trading platforms plus two order-routing back-ends - and the ability to run up to 20 simultaneous funded accounts. All accounts are simulated trading environments.
Programs
FuturesElite offers four account types: Evaluation, Elite (funded), Prime, and Instant. The primary path is a 1-Step Evaluation leading to Elite funded status.
1-Step Evaluation (monthly subscription): A single evaluation phase with a dollar-based profit target and End-of-Day (EOD) drawdown calculation. Fees are monthly - the evaluation runs until the target is hit, with no time limit. Specific per-size pricing:
- $25,000: $125/month. Profit target: $1,500. Max drawdown: $1,500. Contract limit: 4 Mini contracts.
- $50,000: $165/month. Profit target: $3,000. Max drawdown: $2,500. Contract limit: 10 Mini contracts.
- $100,000: $325/month. Profit target: $6,000. Max drawdown: $4,500. Contract limit: 14 Mini contracts.
- $250,000: Available - contact for pricing. Contract limit: 20+ contracts.
Elite Funded Account: After passing the evaluation, traders are upgraded within seconds (Instant Upgrades). No daily loss limit once funded. 30% consistency rule applies to payouts. First $10,000 in profits per account is paid at 100% split; thereafter 90%. Payout cap of $2,000 per cycle on $50K accounts.
Instant Account: Skip the evaluation, trade funded immediately. Zero activation fee. Terms align with Elite funded account rules.
Prime Account: Higher-capital option available via bundles (e.g., 10 x $150K accounts = $1.5M total capital; 10th account provided free). Contact support for individual Prime account terms.
End-of-Day Drawdown - Why It Matters
FuturesElite calculates drawdown at end-of-day (market close) rather than in real time. This means intraday wicks, volatility spikes, and brief unrealized drawdowns during open positions do not trigger account breaches. Only the closing balance is evaluated against the drawdown threshold. This is a meaningful advantage for futures traders who hold through volatile intraday moves - instruments like NQ and CL regularly see $1,000+ point intraday swings that would close accounts under real-time drawdown rules.
Trading Platforms
FuturesElite supports one of the widest platform selections in the futures prop space:
- Trading platforms: NinjaTrader 8 (free license during evaluation), Tradovate, ProjectX, Quantower, ATAS (Order Flow), Volumetrica, DeepDom, DeepCharts
- Order routing: Rithmic, CQG
Instruments: ES (S&P 500 futures), NQ (Nasdaq-100), CL (Crude Oil), GC (Gold), Treasury Bonds, and other listed CME/CBOT/COMEX/NYMEX products.
Multi-Account and Scaling
Up to 20 simultaneous accounts permitted, with trade copier support between them. Bundle pricing is available: 5 x $50K Elite accounts for $250K total capital, and 10 x $150K Prime accounts for $1.5M total capital (10th account free). This allows serious futures traders to scale capital significantly beyond the per-account maximum.
Payouts
- Payout cycle: Bi-weekly or on-demand
- Processing time: 24 hours average
- Methods: Bank transfer, Cryptocurrency, Wise
- Payout cap: $2,000 per cycle on $50K Elite accounts
- First $10K: 100% profit split per account
- Thereafter: 90% profit split
- Total paid out: $3M+ (largest single payout: $33,400)
- Consistency rule: 30% consistency rule must be maintained for payout eligibility
Our Verdict
FuturesElite earns a 7.0 BestProp score. The EOD drawdown calculation is a genuine edge for futures traders, the platform selection (NinjaTrader, Tradovate, Quantower, ATAS, ProjectX and more) is the broadest in the prop space, the first $10K at 100% split is a real bonus, and 20 simultaneous accounts with copier support enables meaningful capital scaling. The 4.7/5 Trustpilot rating is strong for a 2023 firm.
The main constraints: $3M+ total payouts is modest relative to older firms, the monthly subscription model means ongoing costs if the evaluation takes time, the $2,000 payout cap per cycle on $50K accounts is restrictive for consistent traders, and the 30% consistency rule adds a behavioral filter on withdrawals. FuturesElite is best suited to experienced futures traders who want platform flexibility and the EOD drawdown protection, and who plan to scale via multiple accounts.
