FuturesElite
Four products sold across two contradictory rulebooks: Elite, Prime, Nitro, and Instant. While marketing sells "No Profit Buffers" and one-time fees with "No recurring monthly subscription charges", Prime and Nitro enforce non-withdrawable loss-limit buffers (MLL + $100), and the contract and inactivity rules enforce automatic 30-day recurring subscription renewals. In late August 2026 the firm introduced a discretionary exit to FuturesElite Live after five payouts, but on simulated accounts payouts remain flat-capped ($2,000 on 50K Elite) with no growth without risk team approval.
Operated by Quantum SRL in Latina, Italy, the firm states in its regulatory FAQ that it operates exclusively with virtual capital to remain exempt from financial regulation as it does not provide live funds at any time, directly contradicting marketing and live documentation promising real capital on live exchanges. In evaluation, the marketing promises passing in one day with no minimum days or consistency rules, while the actual rulebook enforces 3 to 6 minimum trading days and a 40% consistency rule. Payouts require six profitable days on Elite and ten on Instant, with processing via Rise and direct crypto.
Not enough published data to simulate this firm’s floor.
This firm publishes its floor by account size — see the cited table below.
Judged, clean of all seven hard bars, and the scorecard still came in under the bar. Nothing here is an accusation — it is a firm we would not open an account with, and the card says on which axes it fell short.
What they published
“This rule applies to both Evaluation Accounts and Instant Funded Accounts, ensuring that traders have the opportunity to lock in profits while managing their risk effectively.”“Additionally, the trailing EOD drawdown will stop and lock at the initial balance of the challenge after either reaching the maximum drawdown percentage in profits or after the first payout request.”Scorecard
8Trails on daily closes only, then freezes at your starting balance
A named company, but no financial regulator anywhere — or a light-touch one only
A lifetime ceiling, or a rule that can block payment
The risk rule changes after you have paid
Under a year, or too few reviews to mean anything
Each axis is scored 0–5 against a published scale. The line under each bar is the rung this firm landed on — not our summary of it, the scale entry itself.

What this firm published
Everything below is quoted from a page we opened, on the date shown. The quotes are in the firm’s own language, exactly as published — never edited, never shortened, never swapped for a translation. On the Spanish edition our own rendering appears underneath each one, unquoted and marked as ours: the quotation marks on this site mean the words are the firm’s, and nothing we wrote ever wears them. Where we have not read enough to put a number on an axis, we say so instead of guessing.
2/5
Can you even pass?
Almost nobody who pays for an evaluation ever reaches a funded account, so this is the part of the product most customers actually buy. Every firm advertises its profit target; none of them advertises that target next to how much you are allowed to lose while chasing it.
4/5
Can you keep the money?
The drawdown takes the account away; the payout rules take the money. Answered by whichever of the two we can measure and is worse — they are two ways of losing the same thing, so a good half cannot pay for a bad one.
3/5
Is anyone behind it?
A named company, a market, and rules you could read before paying. These three do not substitute for one another — a company you can sue does not stop existing because the account is a simulation — so this is the average of the ones we could measure, not the worst.

“End of Day (EOD): the drawdown policy is based on closed profits at the end of each trading day and follows a trailing system, with the Max Loss Limit set relative to your account balance at the close.

These rules ask something else — whether you can trade your way — and the right weight depends on who is reading: a minimum holding time decides the account for a scalper and is invisible to anyone else, while the weekend rule is the reverse. A single number would be wrong for half of you, and would look decided. The firm’s own sentences are here; the judgement is yours.

No score here, on purpose. The six axes above ask whether the firm can take your money or refuse to pay it. These rules ask something else — whether you can trade your way — and the right weight depends on who is reading: a minimum holding time decides the account for a scalper and is invisible to anyone else, while the weekend rule is the reverse. A single number would be wrong for half of you, and would look decided. The firm’s own sentences are here; the judgement is yours.

“Real market. Real capital. This guide explains how our live program works: how you qualify, what happens to your profits, the loss floor, the cushion and payouts.”One of these questions is scored and it is not here. “Does the cap rise with the account” sits on the cash axis, next to the cap itself, because it has a right answer: a bigger account that pays the same cheque has handed you a larger number and the same money. The three below are different. A two-million ceiling is the whole point of the product for one reader and irrelevant to someone who wants one clean payout, so the firm’s sentences are here and the weight is yours.
How hard the test is
we did not read enough to sayNot the profit target on the sales page — that target measured against the room you are given to reach it.
How much you must win to surviveNo such thing in this plan.—
“The New Instant Challenges are our upgraded instant-funded accounts, designed for traders who want faster access to capital with fewer restrictions. With no evaluation phase and a streamlined rule set, these accounts are built to help you focus on trading and reach payouts sooner.”A profit target only means something next to the room you are given to reach it. Ten per cent to make against ten to lose is a coin flip sold as an exam.
Days you have to finishNo such thing in this plan.—
“The New Instant Challenges are our upgraded instant-funded accounts, designed for traders who want faster access to capital with fewer restrictions. With no evaluation phase and a streamlined rule set, these accounts are built to help you focus on trading and reach payouts sooner.”A deadline turns a test of skill into a test of whether the market happened to move during your month.
Trading days you must put inNo such thing in this plan.—
“The New Instant Challenges are our upgraded instant-funded accounts, designed for traders who want faster access to capital with fewer restrictions. With no evaluation phase and a streamlined rule set, these accounts are built to help you focus on trading and reach payouts sooner.”Cuts both ways: it costs you time, and it also stops an account passing on one lucky afternoon you could never repeat.
A second attempt costsNo such thing in this plan.—
“The New Instant Challenges are our upgraded instant-funded accounts, designed for traders who want faster access to capital with fewer restrictions. With no evaluation phase and a streamlined rule set, these accounts are built to help you focus on trading and reach payouts sooner.”A free second attempt turns one bad week into a delay instead of another invoice.

With no evaluation phase and a streamlined rule set, these accounts are built to help you focus on trading and reach payouts sooner.”Below 60% read we publish no number at all, because a grade computed from two facts out of six is not a lenient grade — it is a different measurement wearing the same label.
Maximum loss
The loss limit that closes your account. Does it sit still, or does it climb behind you as you win?
What makes the loss limit riseit rises with the day's closing balance1.65/3
“End of Day (EOD): The drawdown policy is based on closed profits at the end of each trading day and follows a trailing system, with the Max Loss Limit set at the account's starting balance. If the account has a losing day, the drawdown remains unchanged. It only increases after a profitable day. Once enough profits have been accumulated, the drawdown locks at the account's starting balance.”A limit that climbs takes back the cushion you already earned.

Daily limitThey state there is none.2/2
“There is no daily drawdown. Only a maximum drawdown applies, allowing for smoother risk management.”A generous percentage measured on live equity is not generous — it is the same number with a trapdoor under it.

Almost no firm here has a financial regulator, because selling simulated evaluations is not a regulated activity anywhere. Of the 114 firms we scored by hand, 96 sat in the bottom two rungs of backing for this reason. So we do not count it against anyone — it only adds when a firm genuinely has one.
The market
Do your orders reach a market, or is all of it a simulation?
What the funded account issimulated, with a published route to a live stage2/4
“Unless otherwise expressly stated, all trading activities on the platform occur within virtual or demo-based simulations using fictitious capital.”The question that separates a firm that earns when you lose from one that earns when you last.
Conditions to reach a real marketpublished2/2
“Going live is earned. Our risk team decides who moves up, usually through one of these paths:
You collect the fifth and final payout on your plan
You have withdrawn a large amount with us over time
Your sim funded results are outstanding
You have traded live with us before”Promising a route to a real market without publishing the conditions is promising nothing.
Almost none names a broker or a clearing house either, and that follows from the account being a simulation rather than being a second, separate failing. Charging for both would count one fact twice.
We read the rules of every plan it sells and issued a verdict on each one.
