Can it refuse without giving a reason
Our reading
Yes — it reserves that right in writing
“Because of this, it is the policy of ETF that, at the time of any withdrawal request, the total balance in the requesting traders’ Elite Account must not consist of an inordinate portion (the determination of which is at ETF’s sole discretion) of that balance being derived from a single trading day.”terms · elitetraderfunding.app/terms-of-service · 2026-08-04 · saved copy
