Elite Trader Funding Maximum Allocation
The Simple Answer
Elite Trader Funding caps active Elite Sim-Funded accounts at 5 for evaluations purchased on or after September 17, 2025, though evaluations purchased before that date are grandfathered and may hold up to 20 active accounts, with a separate 5-account limit on Direct to Funded accounts.
The rule is published in the official articles “How the Static Account Plan Works” and “Max Active Elite Sim-Funded Accounts.”
How the Maximum Allocation Rule Works
The Current 5-Account Standard
Elite Trader Funding states: “Total Active Funded Accounts: For evaluations purchased on or after September 17, 2025, traders can have a maximum of 5 active Elite Sim-Funded accounts at one time. Evaluations purchased before September 17, 2025 are grandfathered and may hold up to 20 active Elite Sim-Funded accounts.”
Fast Track and DTF Sub-Limits
“Fast Track Account Restriction: Under the grandfathered 20-account limit, only 5 accounts can be from passed Fast Track evaluations.” Separately, “Direct to Funded Account Restriction (DTF): Limit of 5 active DTF accounts per trader.”
Strict Household Prohibition
“Household Trading Rule: Traders from the same household are not allowed to participate at ETF under any circumstances.” This is stricter than firms that simply cap combined household accounts, ETF prohibits multiple household members from participating at all.
Final Thoughts
Elite Trader Funding’s policy change on September 17, 2025 significantly reduced the standard account cap from 20 to 5, though grandfathered traders retain the higher limit.
