FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is Elite Trader Funding legit?
Elite Trader Funding holds a 3.9★ Trustpilot rating with 1,064 reviews. It's a legitimate futures prop firm but has more mixed feedback than top competitors. Some traders report smooth experiences while others note issues with the hard DLL breach rule.
What is the Diamond Hands plan?
Diamond Hands is Elite Trader Funding's unique plan that allows holding positions overnight AND over weekends — something almost no other futures prop firm allows. It's ideal for swing traders who need multi-day position holding.
What is the Direct to Funded plan?
Direct to Funded skips the evaluation entirely. You pay a one-time fee (from $647) and get immediate access to a funded account with no evaluation phase, no resets, and no DLL.
What is the Fast Track plan?
Fast Track is a 10 calendar day one-time evaluation — you have 10 days to hit a $2,000 profit target on a $10K account. No monthly renewal needed. It's the quickest path to a funded account at ETF.
Does Elite Trader Funding run 90% off sales?
Yes — ETF regularly runs 90% off sales on most evaluation plans. These bring the monthly fee down significantly (e.g., $50K EOD drops from $347 to $34.70/mo). No discount applies to Direct Funded accounts.
What payout methods does Elite Trader Funding offer?
ETF pays via Bank Wire, ACH, and Crypto with same-day processing upon request.
