Head-to-head comparison · 2026
Futures Elite vs TopOne Futures
Side-by-side on the metrics that actually matter: true cost to funded, drawdown type, profit split and payout speed.
Quick verdict
- Futures Elite is $255 cheaper to get funded on a 50K account ($152 vs $407, activation fees included).
- TopOne Futures uses end-of-day drawdown, which is more forgiving than Futures Elite's intraday trailing drawdown. Open profit that you give back doesn't count against you.
- TopOne Futures has a consistency rule on the funded account, which can hold up payouts after a big day. Futures Elite doesn't. Rule: 40% funded, none on eval.
- Futures Elite pays out faster (daily vs every 5 days).
