FuturesElite payout rules
How long before you can ask for money, how much one withdrawal can pay, how many there are and what the consistency rule costs, in the firm’s own words.
Days before you can ask for money
Our reading
6 days
“The minimum waiting time between payout requests is determined by the 6 trading day requirement. The trading day counter resets after each paid payout. Calendar time is not separately enforced. As soon as you have completed 6 new profitable trading days and your cycle is back in net profit (at least $1 above your post-previous-payout balance), you may request again.”help centre · faq.futureselite.com/en/articles/16387646-elite-payout-caps-and-minimum-trading-day-thresholds · 2026-09-11 · saved copy

What breaking the consistency rule costs · phase 1
“When you hit your profit target, no single trading day may account for more than 40% of the profit used to pass. If one day is over the line, nothing bad happens to your account: your target simply increases and you keep trading until your biggest day fits within the limit. You are never breached or reset for consistency.”help centre · faq.futureselite.com/en/articles/16001609-is-there-a-consistency-rule-in-the-elite-evaluation · 2026-09-11 · saved copy
