Worst sim to live trader program of any prop

Going to live on this firm is an punishment, unlike all other firms that reward you for making it to the stage to make them money too. This firm takes ALL your profit away from sim funded, so I made a bit above $25,000 over 9 trading days spread out between 5 accounts. On the day I was supposed to request my first payout, $6,250, they move me to live, which means no payout, and losing all the accounts to completely reset, which effectively saved themselves $4,250 (since $2,000 is put into the live account.) With live comes a worse profit split, smaller allowed position sizes, and most importantly, the loss of ALL of my earned profits (not even 1 account's profit is brought over.) I paid for the 5 evals, the 5 lifetime activation fees, then failed the sim-funded (that's on me), so resetting 5 sim fundeds, I then make it to the point I can make my money back and they move the finish line. All in all, I spent like $2,500 to get funded with these guys and they wanted to make sure I don't get that money back. I'm a live trader with 2 other firms, and both of them moved my sim-funded profit to live, because that is earned profit, that would've been payout money, so they put that into a live account instead. Both of those firms allows for 3 accounts, in which they combine the profits across the 3 accounts for the 1 live account. Elite Trader Funding does not do that. What you make is thrown to the void never to be seen again. If you buy 5 evals, congrats, you wasted your time and money on 4 of them. Their live rules used to be better, not great, but better. With their old rules, I'd say they are 60% for the trader, now they are 0% for them. If the firm can't afford to cover transitioning the profit of 5 accounts to live, or cover the cost of 5 payouts, then they shouldn't allow 5 accounts. It's designed for people to buy 5 accounts and get screwed on all of them. This review would've been completely different if they were like literally every other firm in the way they REWARD live traders, but it's a 1 star due to how they essentially punish them. I'm posting this after rejecting their offer to live so they can't respond saying I'm leaving a bad review just because I failed. No, I rejected because their unfair handling of live traders. Moving me to live THE DAY OF my payout, while not meeting ANY of the 3 criteria to go to a live account (i.e did not take $25,000 in payouts, did not trade for 50 days, did not take 5 payouts) that's just odd, and seems like scam behavior. TLDR; Live accounts suck, poor profit split, ALL profit wiped from sim, smaller position size Edit in response to support: That previous payment was from 2 accounts in September of 2025, so it doesn't show you guys are willing to pay 5 accounts. The allowed payout amounts actually got smaller since then, which I'm only to assume means struggles with the firm. $2k used to be the max per account 50k static, not it's $1,250. Which being transitioned to live the day of the payout just means $0 per account, nice job saving money. I was aware of the Terms of Service, but the transition to live is vague, it says (with a direct copy and paste, "Your End of Day onboarding starting balance is based on your single top-performing Elite Sim-Funded account that has achieved the safety net." Which absolutely sounds like my balance will be transferred over, I assumed the $2,000 was the minimum balance the account should have before going to live. The profit split, I knew beforehand, what isn't disclosed is the drop in sizing, from allowing 40 micros to only allowing 5 micros is not mentioned beforehand.

Great Firm!

Best prop firm in thr world

One of the best prop firm I say. And the support team is really awesome.

Great rules and great plan!

The rules for this are great and are much less pressure than a lot of other firms. I can basically trade how I want without worrying about obscure rules.

the changes you've made were poorly…

the changes you've made were poorly planned...this led to one of my funded account being cancelled...notification e-mails is really bad...all reactvations are basically on demand -manual-...get a grip!

Great service from support

Super

ETF is great but just wish they had… I would like to recommend a static eval with 5k drawdown

ETF is great but just wish they had more static account options

Be very careful before choosing Elite…

Be very careful before choosing Elite Trader Funding. I made around $6,000 profit on a 50k Sim-Funded account and was just about to reach payout eligibility. Instead of allowing me to complete the final requirement, my account was suddenly moved to Live Elite and my Sim account was closed. All profits were lost and never paid out. They say this is “at their discretion,” but moving traders right before payout feels extremely unfair and raises serious concerns about how payouts are handled. This system puts traders at a disadvantage — you can do everything right and still not get paid. Make sure you understand: your profits are not real until they are actually paid. Until then, you have no guarantee.

Setup was a little confusing, and they have a gotcha rule you need to know about.

The setup was a little confusing as I received a notification that there was a problem and a delay, but it had already registered fine. I logged in and used Tradovate integration they provided. I read the rules of the 50k eval. So I misunderstood one of the rules, and here is where they get you and get your money. Ok so here is where their rules really get you and they scam you out of your money quickly for most traders. I opened up a position and I was up $1000... I opened another favorable position and it jumped 2k (unrealized gain), but then suddenly dropped 2k (UNREALIZED GAIN), then it went back up but my account was frozen. Eval is over. I lost my money. They have a trailing rule where if you go up, and it goes back down too much (WHILE UNREALIZED) you lose. So imagine a very volatile day where it swings up a lot drops down a lot then back up before you sell. You can't do that. You gotta be careful of the swings EVEN unrealized amounts, not just when you buy and sell. I saw this rule but I didn't really understand it in practice. It's a bad rule - I get why they do it, but it also should be more clearly explained (especially highlighting that you can get your account paused unrealized).

Do not use this website

I purchased a Direct to funded account for £511 recently. This seemed like the logical option as I am an experienced trader, it seems to good to be true, and it is. the 15 day setup as well as the profit margin is extremely confusing, adding hidden challenges throughout the challenge making it near impossible. I received the pay-out nearly a full week after i requested it as well, where a supposed perk of this account is the speed and quality customer service. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Stay away from this prop firm at all…

Stay away from this prop firm at all cost. Looks legit but wait till they have to pay you. I had a very disappointing experience with this prop firm. After successfully earning profits through my PA (Performance Account), my account was suddenly closed without proper justification, and I never received the payout I had rightfully earned. This raises serious questions about the firm's integrity and whether they actually intend to pay traders who succeed. Based on my experience, I would strongly caution others before trusting this firm with their time and money. Until they improve their payout reliability and communication, I cannot recommend this firm.

My first payout,smooth process

My first payout,smooth process, great setup for a beginner to succeed.you can setup stop loss and profit target for the day in the tradingview platform.This has allowed me to prevent all the bad habits.
