Summary
The Elite Plan is MegaTrader’s most rule-intensive evaluation phase, designed to test traders under live-style pressure. With a real-time drawdown and strict position sizing, this plan leaves no room for error. Traders must maintain compliance across all risk parameters to pass the challenge and advance to a Simulated Funded Account.
Intraday Trailing Drawdown
Elite accounts use a real-time intraday trailing drawdown. This drawdown adjusts upward as new profit highs are reached and is enforced throughout each trading session.
Account Size | Trailing Drawdown |
$25,000 | $1,000 |
$50,000 | $2,000 |
$100,000 | $3,000 |
$150,000 | $4,500 |
If your account balance drops below the active trailing drawdown at any time, the account fails immediately.
Position Size Limits
Elite Plan traders must never exceed the contract limits for their account size:
Account Size | Max Position Size |
$25,000 | 1 Contract / 10 Micros |
$50,000 | 5 Contracts / 50 Micros |
$100,000 | 10 Contracts / 100 Micros |
$150,000 | 15 Contracts / 150 Micros |
Violating these limits will result in automatic disqualification, even if the trade is profitable.
35% Consistency Rule
To ensure sustainable performance, Elite Plan payouts are subject to the 35% Consistency Rule:
No single trading day may account for more than 35% of total profits at the time of a payout request
If violated, payout approval will be delayed until profits are more evenly distributed
Minimum Trading Days Requirement
You must complete at least 10 trading days before requesting your first payout—and again between each subsequent payout.
A trading day counts if at least one trade is placed between 6:00 PM EST and 5:00 PM EST the next day
The 10-day counter resets after every approved payout
Platform Compliance
All trades must be executed on approved platforms:
Project X
Tradovate
NinjaTrader
Use of unauthorized bots, APIs, or unapproved software tools will result in account termination.
Violations & Resets
Accounts will be marked as failed if any of the following occur:
