Elite Trader Funding

Elite Trader Funding (ETF) is an American futures proprietary trading firm, or "prop firm," that funds retail traders to trade futures. Founded on February 14, 2022, the company describes its mission as finding talented traders and investing real capital behind them. It operates primarily online through its website, elitetraderfunding.app, and serves a global community of retail futures traders. The firm's model is built around a three-step path. First, a trader purchases a trading evaluation, choosing from six evaluation products with account sizes ranging from $10,000 to $150,000. The evaluation is conducted in a simulated environment on live CME market data, and the trader must reach a profit target while managing risk. Second, upon passing, the trader receives an "Elite Sim-Funded" account, where they trade toward payouts in simulation; the firm pays withdrawals against simulated profits. Third, top performers are invited to "LIVE ELITE," where Elite Trader Funding invests its own capital in a live broker account for the trader, who can then receive same-day payouts, coaching, and performance bonuses. According to the company, it has paid out more than $13 million to over 13,000 funded traders, has served more than 59,000 customers, and has invested over $5 million in live traders. It reports having been in business for more than four years. The firm emphasizes no time limits on evaluations and daily payout approvals. It supports multiple trading platforms, though the specific platforms are not named in the available evidence. Elite Trader Funding positions itself as a transparent and durable operator in an industry where many prop firms are short-lived. Its website stresses that "trading is hard" and that it has learned from mistakes over its operating history. The company is privately held and does not disclose its ownership or executive team in the available evidence. It is not a listed company and does not appear to have a parent company. Its primary offering is access to funded futures trading accounts, with revenue derived from evaluation fees and a share of live trading profits.

Elite Trader Funding was founded on February 14, 2022, according to the company's About page. The firm was established to find talented traders and invest real capital behind them, operating as a futures proprietary trading firm. The company notes that Valentine's Day was not the planned launch date but that it suited them. From its founding, Elite Trader Funding built its business around a structured evaluation path. Traders purchase an evaluation, prove their strategy in a simulated environment on live CME data, and upon passing move to an Elite Sim-Funded account where they trade toward payouts. The firm states that it treats the sim-funded stage as a continuation of the evaluation because "passing a test and trading consistently well are two different things." Top performers are then invited to LIVE ELITE, where the firm invests its own capital in a live broker account and the trader can receive same-day payouts, coaching, and performance bonuses. The company reports that it has been in business for more than four years, which it describes as rare in the prop firm industry. Over that period, it states it has funded traders, paid them, made mistakes, and fixed them. As of the available evidence, Elite Trader Funding reports having paid out more than $13 million to over 13,000 funded traders, served more than 59,000 customers, and invested over $5 million in live traders. It offers six evaluation products with account sizes from $10,000 to $150,000, no time limits on evaluations, and daily payout approvals. The firm operates primarily through its website, elitetraderfunding.app, and supports multiple trading platforms, though the specific platforms are not named in the available evidence. It is privately held and does not disclose its ownership or executive team in the available evidence. No major acquisitions, leadership changes, or public listings are documented in the supplied sources.
