Top One Futures FAQs
Answers sourced from Top One Futures’s own help center.
Several routes to a funded futures account: the Elite Challenge (evaluation) and Elite Sim Funded, Instant Sim Funded, S2F Sim Pro, and the Ignite Instant Funding line. Plans are monthly subscriptions and traded on NinjaTrader, Tradovate, and TradingView. The same core rules apply across the Elite Challenge and Elite Sim Funded accounts.
They vary by program: 6% for the Elite Challenge, a tiered 6% / 5% / 4% on Instant Sim Funded and S2F Sim Pro, and 5% for Ignite Instant Funding.
It is a max trailing drawdown that follows your balance — roughly $1,000 on a $25K account, $2,000 on a $50K, $3,000 on a $100K, and $4,500 on a $150K. Your account is breached the moment the balance falls below the trailing level, intraday included, and recovering back above it afterwards does not reverse the breach. On the Ignite line, the 3% intraday trailing drawdown converts to a fixed lock after your first payout, locking at your starting balance plus $100.
There is no daily loss limit during the evaluation. On funded accounts, the daily loss is calculated from the trailing drawdown rather than a separate fixed figure.
90/10 in the trader's favour on all programs except the Elite Challenge. Payout caps are higher on Elite Sim Funded and Instant Sim Funded accounts and lower on Ignite Instant Funding, and depending on the program payouts are available on-demand or weekly.
It depends on the program: 25% for the Elite Challenge, 20% for Instant Sim Funded and S2F Sim Pro, and 15% for Ignite Instant Funding. The percentage caps how much of your total profit any single day may represent.
Yes, outside a short blackout: no trades in the two minutes before or after a high-impact news release.
Elite Challenge accounts are unlimited, while funded accounts are capped — 3 on Elite Sim Funded and Instant Sim Funded, and 6 on S2F Sim Pro and Ignite Instant Funding.
An activation fee is required to move from an Elite Challenge to the funded environment. All traders must also complete KYC identity verification before trading any Simulated Funded Account.
