Elite Plan : Rules & Risk Parameters

Key trading limits, drawdown rules, and compliance requirements.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Summary

The Elite Plan is MegaTrader’s most rule-intensive evaluation phase, designed to test traders under live-style pressure. With a real-time trailing drawdown and strict position sizing, this plan demands consistent discipline. Traders must comply with all risk rules to qualify for 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 live during each session.

Account Size

Trailing Drawdown

$25,000

$1,000

$50,000

$2,000

$100,000

$3,000

$150,000

$4,500

If your balance drops below the trailing drawdown at any time, the account fails immediately—even if the trade was previously in profit.


Position Size Limits

Elite Plan traders must stay within strict contract limits:

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

Exceeding these limits will trigger automatic disqualification—regardless of whether the trade results in a gain.


35% Consistency Rule

To promote controlled performance, all payouts in the Elite Plan are subject to the 35% Consistency Rule:

  • No single trading day may generate more than 35% of total profits at the time of a payout request

  • If this is violated, the payout will be delayed until earnings are more evenly distributed

This rule ensures your profits are the result of sustained trading—not one-off spikes.


Minimum Trading Days Requirement

You must complete at least 7 trading days before requesting your first payout, and again between each 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.

Your 7-day counter resets after every approved payout.

Optional: Anytime Payout Add-On
If you activate the Anytime Payout Add-On, you can skip the 7-day requirement and request payouts at any time—as long as your profit target, consistency, and drawdown conditions are met.


Platform Compliance

All trading activity must take place on the official MegaX platform.

The use of bots, APIs, or third-party automation tools that are not explicitly approved by MegaTrader is prohibited. Violating this rule will result in account termination without refund.


Violations & Resets

Your Elite Plan account will be marked as failed if any of the following occur:

  • Breaching the trailing drawdown

  • Exceeding contract or position size limits

  • Using unauthorized trading tools or methods

To resume, you may:

  • Use a Reset Credit (if available), or

  • Purchase a new Elite Plan subscription
