Profit Split — Up to 95%
60% – 95% trader share
Verbatim from FundedElite: "Profit Split. 60% 70% 80% 95%" — choose the tier when building your custom plan. The 95% requires a paid add-on; 70-80% is standard.
Why it matters: 95% is among the highest in the prop industry — but factor the add-on into total cost.

Funded Elite Review 2026: Is This the Best Prop Firm for Aggressive Traders?
Funded Elite positions itself as the most configurable forex prop firm in 2026. Across its custom plan builder you can dial split (60–95%), payout cadence (3/7/14/21 days), leverage (1:30 to 1:100), and drawdown mode (static or trailing) before paying.
What recent traders say
★★★★★ "FundedElite is best Funded trading platform" — Harno Priyanto, Dec 2025
★★★☆☆ "Both MatchTrader and MetaTrader which have options of a lot of indicators" — Rahul Parnami, May 2026
★★☆☆☆ "The funded account conditions are very complicated" — Vincent, Apr 2026
Verdict: Aggressive scalpers and traders who want to fine-tune their evaluation will love the customisation. Beginners may find the live-account rules (3-min minimum trade, $750 daily risk caps on some plans) restrictive — read your specific plan rules in detail before committing.

Funded Elite is a forex prop trading firm that funds traders through evaluation and instant-funding plans. Account sizes run from $10K to $200K and scale up to $400K, with profit splits up to 95% and access to MetaTrader 4 and 5, MatchTrader and cTrader.
Funded Elite pricing depends on the plan and account size. Its own comparison pages list a $100K Standard Evaluation at $349, Express Evaluation at $475 and One-Step Evaluation at $495, with smaller custom plans starting around $129.
Funded Elite features include flexible leverage, MT4 integration, risk management tools, and fast account approval. Together these are intended to keep risk controls in front of the trader throughout the evaluation.
Funded Elite alternatives include FTMO, FundedNext and The 5%ers, all reviewed on this site. Comparing Funded Elite alternatives helps you choose the best fit based on risk rules, leverage, payout cadence and account sizes.
Funded Elite vs crypto shows Funded Elite offers structured trading, risk limits, and leverage options. Crypto is highly volatile. Funded Elite review suggests safer trading with defined rules and targets.
Pros and Cons of Funded Elite include educational support, multiple account types, and secure MT4 trading. Cons include fees and initial evaluation requirements. Whether the benefits outweigh the costs depends on your strategy and how comfortable you are with the evaluation rules.
The appeal of a funded programme is that you trade the firm's capital rather than your own, so your financial exposure is limited to what you pay for the evaluation, and you keep an agreed share of any profit you make. What is worth weighing are the terms rather than the marketing: the profit target and how many phases you must clear, the daily-loss and maximum-drawdown limits and whether drawdown is measured on balance or on equity, any consistency or minimum-trading-day rule, which instruments and holding periods are permitted, the profit split, and how quickly payouts are processed. Read the current rules for the account size you are considering, because they differ between programmes.
Funded Elite MT4 Account allows advanced charting, automated trading, multiple order types, and secure connections. That combination suits newer traders and those running more advanced setups alike.
Reading a Funded Elite review helps understand pricing, account types, and leverage. Funded Elite reviews guide users in selecting the right plan and learning about features efficiently.
No funded programme suits every trader, and the honest answer depends on how you trade. The account size sets the capital you are assessed on, but it is the drawdown and daily-loss limits, any consistency or minimum-trading-day requirement, and the permitted instruments and holding periods that decide whether your normal strategy can pass at all. A trader who holds positions overnight or through news releases faces different constraints from one who scalps intraday. Compare the rules of the specific plan against the way you actually trade before paying an evaluation fee, and bear in mind that the fee is at risk if you breach a limit.
