Highly Customizable Prop Firm with Attractive Payout Options but Significant Rule Complexity
FundedElite is a highly customizable proprietary trading platform offering 1-Step, 2-Step, Lite, Instant, Instant Elite, Flash Activation and Catalyst programmes. Traders can select different profit targets, maximum loss limits, payout schedules and profit splits, with some programmes offering up to 95% profit share. The Catalyst programme provides a direct funded path with a scaling ladder reaching $1M and up to 95% split. MT5 and TradeLocker are available. However, FundedElite has a relatively complex rule framework including minimum holding times, funded-stage instrument risk limits, restrictions on HFT and micro-scalping, EA limitations, weekend-trading add-ons and IP/VPN monitoring. Trustpilot currently shows no public rating because of a guideline breach and states that fake reviews were removed. Recent reviews also contain a noticeable number of complaints concerning payout reviews, risk-rule interpretation and IP-related account actions. Traders should therefore read the exact rules of the selected model before purchasing.
