Introduction
FuturesElite is a proprietary futures trading firm offering capital access to traders through evaluation programs or instant-funded accounts. The firm emphasizes technology, rules-based trading, and community engagement as core operational pillars.
Company Background
Headquartered in Latina, Italy, FuturesElite is run by Quantum SRLS and led by co‑founders Christian Habibi (CEO) and Artur S. Deshko (COO).

Account Types and Onboarding Process
Evaluation Challenge Accounts
- Traders register for evaluation accounts where they must meet profit targets and respect drawdown limits.
- No set timeframe is imposed: traders can complete challenges at their own pace.
- Upon success, traders proceed to a funded account stage.
Instant Funding Options
- Designed to allow experienced traders to begin trading with capital immediately.
- Requires at least seven trading days within a 14-calendar-day window and a 5% buffer profit.
- Set withdrawal thresholds by account size; buffer withdrawal becomes available after multiple payouts.
Profit Splits and Withdrawal Mechanics
- Traders can earn up to 100% of profits depending on rank and account program.
- Withdrawals are generally processed within 24 hours and available on a bi‑weekly basis depending on the plan.
- Profit buffer thresholds and per-request caps are strictly enforced.
- Consistency controls limit daily profit exposure to safeguard orderly performance.
Platform Infrastructure and Market Access
- FuturesElite does not provide broker services but collaborates with external providers.
- Traders access markets via EliteX, the proprietary front end built on Project X.
- Data sources include CME Group, Databento, TradingView, and CQG.
- Support for platforms such as Tradovate, NinjaTrader, Volumetrica, and QuantTower is in development.
Risk Controls and Trading Compliance
- Strict rules prohibit algorithmic or bot-based trading.
- Practices aimed at unfair advantage—order manipulation, slippage exploitation, group trading, hedging across accounts, multiple‑country logins, or IP sharing—are disallowed.
- Mandatory rules around news events require positions to be closed in a defined time window around high-impact releases.
Account Limits and Growth Path
- Unlimited challenges may be purchased, but only five funded accounts can remain active simultaneously.
- Excess funded accounts are queued until existing accounts close or are breached.
Competitive Features and Community Engagement
- FuturesElite runs regular trading tournaments offering cash prizes and funded account upgrades.
- Tournaments use structured leaderboards and provide both free and premium participation options.
Reputation and Security
- FuturesElite has a high trust rating from automated website evaluation platforms.
- Trust feedback is largely positive, emphasizing fast support and payout reliability. Negative reports are typically resolved through customer service within hours or days.
