Only 39 of the 102 firms in the census appear in the on-chain aggregator. A firm that pays by bank transfer does not show up here, and that does not mean it does not pay. It means this figure cannot be checked on a blockchain.

Leverage, commissions and instruments

Not comparable between firms, so not a sortable column. 6 firms publish commissions in three units: per side, per round trip, and prose per model. Per side versus round trip is a factor of two. Each figure keeps the name and unit the firm gives it.

Questions about Elite Trader Funding (ETF)

Is Elite Trader Funding (ETF) worth checking, and where do these numbers come from?

We do not rate firms. What we can tell you is what it publishes and where we read it: 8 account models on this page, 18 official pages of theirs cited, and 128 dated readings behind the figures. Anything they do not publish is shown as a gap, not filled in.

How much does a Elite Trader Funding (ETF) challenge cost?

From $57 for a $10,000 account up to $77 for a $10,000 one, across their 8 models. A cheap fee on a small account is not a cheap account, so the table on this page keeps size and price together, and every figure links to the page it was read on. The fee buys the attempt, not the account.

Can you trade the news at Elite Trader Funding (ETF)?

Yes. Elite Trader Funding (ETF) allows trading around news releases on a funded account, with no window published against it. Most firms restrict exactly this, and it is the rule traders break most often without noticing.

Does Elite Trader Funding (ETF) allow bots and expert advisors?

With conditions. Elite Trader Funding (ETF) allows automation but sets limits on it. The usual line is between a tool that helps you execute and a system that trades without you, and firms draw it in different places.

What profit split does Elite Trader Funding (ETF) pay?

Up to 100% on their best model, not on all of them, so check the model you are buying in the table above. A split only pays out if you also clear their payout conditions.
