FirmFax verdict
Elite Trader Funding is a strong futures prop firm best taken through its Static Evaluation (86/100), which uses a static drawdown that never moves with no consistency rule on file for this route either way.
80% off first month
Applies to evaluation products except Direct To Funded accounts. The firm’s own promo guide, re-checked 2026-09-05 and updated by the firm in July 2026, still lists 80% off the first month across 1-Step, Static, EOD, Diamond Hands, and Fast Track evaluations; it is redeemed with a public code typed at checkout on the firm’s own site (GOFUTURES as of 2026-09-07), not through a partner-branded link as we previously stated, and pricing returns to standard after the first month.

- Activation
- No source we hold publishes an activation fee. A blank is not a $0 — budget for one until checkout proves otherwise.
- Daily loss
- No source we hold states a daily loss limit, or that there is none. A blank row is not the absence of a cap.
- Consistency
- No consistency figure is on file for this route. That is a gap in our record, not evidence the firm has no rule — consistency rules are often added at the funded stage, so confirm it in the firm’s own terms before you rely on it.
