Elite Trader Funding Profit Target, by Account Size
Rules verified 2026-07-15 · official source
Elite Trader Funding's evaluation target is $3,000 on the 50K 1-Step (scaling with size). Hitting the number isn't passing — drawdown, minimum days still gate the pass.
The target is the easy half
Most failed evaluations don't die short of the target — they die AFTER touching it, giving profit back into the drawdown line while finishing the remaining requirements. Treat the target as the midpoint, not the finish line.
Once you're near it, the play is defense: smaller size, wider spacing, and knowing your exact distance to the trailing intraday (follows your live peak, open profit included) line.
| Plan | Evaluation |
|---|---|
| 50K 1-Step | $3,000 |
| 100K 1-Step | $6,000 |
How traders actually breach it
The classic post-target failure: doubling size to finish fast, then donating the cushion back. The target doesn't bank until every other rule clears.
TradersGuild tracks this rule live against your trade log and alerts you while there's still room — "you're $220 from the line" beats finding out from a breach email. Tracking is free for your first account.
Recent Elite Trader Funding rule changes
2026-07-15 — 1-Step lock trigger precision fix: ETF's trailing lock engages on REALIZED profits only (once you build max drawdown + $100 in realized profits), so TradersGuild's engine no longer lets a logged unrealized intraday peak engage the lock early — which could pin the line at start+$100 too soon and overstate room. The trailing line itself still follows the unrealized peak, exactly as ETF computes it.
2026-07-09 — Added — 1-Step: intraday trailing drawdown that locks at start+$100, no daily loss limit, 5 minimum trading days.
