Funded By Elevate Review 2026

The $5K Ascent Two Step at $39 is the cheapest way in, which puts it among the cheapest prop firm challenges we track. CFD fees are paid once and are the same on all four CFD platforms. The marketing pages only show one "starts at" size per program; the full grid below comes from the public challenge page in the trader dashboard. [S2, S7]

Futures plans renew every month while the account stays active, and Volumetrica costs $15 more a month than DXFutures or TickBlaze. The marketing site does not mention the subscription, so budget for more than one month. [S7]

CFD prices (one-time)

Futures prices (per month)

Add-ons are priced as a percentage of the plan fee: Hold Weekend +10%, 7 Day Initial Payout +15%, and +25% each for the 90% split, Payout Protector, Remove Consistency and disabling Lock Upon Payout on the CFD side; +25% each for the 100% split and Payout Protector on futures. Challenge fees are non-refundable. [S3, S5, S8]

Both Ascent assessments use a static maximum loss fixed to the starting balance, so it does not trail as the account grows. See trailing versus static drawdown for why that matters. The daily loss resets at 5:00 PM EST and is measured from the greater of the prior end-of-day balance or equity. Breaking the daily or maximum loss, or going 30 days without a trade, is a hard breach. [S1, S3]

The 40% funded consistency rule is the catch. It does not apply while you pass, but it limits payouts once funded unless you pay 25% more for Remove Consistency. A trade that risks more than the per-trade limit is closed automatically as a soft breach rather than failing the account. The dashboard plan data lists leverage of 50 on every CFD plan, which does not match the 20:1 and 30:1 on the rules page; confirm in the platform before trading. [S3, S7]

Instant Funding skips the assessment. Accounts run from $5K to $50K with a 3% daily loss, a 6% trailing maximum loss and no profit target. The best day cannot be more than 33% of total profit for the pay period, there are 5 minimum trading days, and trades cannot be held over the weekend. [S3, S7]

The rules page lists the Instant split as 80/20 and the only add-ons as the 7-day first payout and removing Lock on Payout. The homepage and plans cards say "90% with add-on" for Instant too, but no such add-on exists in the dashboard for this program, so plan on 80%. At $189 for $5K, it costs almost four times the Ascent One Step. [S2, S3, S5, S7]

Elevate Flex and Elevate Pro have no daily loss limit, only an end-of-day trailing drawdown. The dashboard describes it as trailing the end-of-day equity high-water mark. There is no time limit. [S3, S7]

Flex has a 40% consistency rule in the assessment and no minimum days; Pro has 50% and 2 minimum days. The rules page says both apply to the assessment only, but the homepage FAQ says funded payouts are still subject to the Flex 40% or Pro 50% consistency requirement, a non-withdrawable profit buffer and a payout review. The dashboard also lists the $150K Flex max loss as $3,500, not $4,000. Ask support to confirm before you buy. [S1, S3, S7]

Opening a position within 3 minutes before or after a news event is prohibited. If you do, the position may be closed with its P&L removed, leverage may be reduced or the account may be breached, and the firm decides what counts as a news event. [S3]

EAs are allowed under the prohibited-trading policy. Copy trading is only allowed between accounts you own, and hedging only inside one account. The banned list includes latency and pricing-error exploits, off-the-shelf or pass-the-challenge strategies, switching strategy between assessment and funded, and "gambling" or excessive leverage. Penalties include termination and forfeiture of fees. [S3, S8]

The standard split is 80% on CFDs and 90% on futures. On the Ascent programs a +25% add-on raises the CFD split to 90%, and on futures a +25% add-on raises it to 100%. The FAQ says approved payouts are usually processed within 24 to 48 hours. That is the firm's own claim; we have not seen a payout. [S1, S3, S5]

The payout schedule is not consistent across the site. The rules page says every 14 days on CFDs, the homepage FAQ says no more than once every 30 days, and the firm's compare page says first withdrawal at 5 days, then every 30 days. The homepage also promises "zero payout denials", which a firm in its first year cannot yet show. [S1, S3, S9]

CFD accounts trade on DXtrade, MatchTrader, cTrader or PropX at the same price. Futures accounts trade on DXFutures, Volumetrica or TickBlaze. There is no MT4 or MT5. [S2, S7]

The homepage, FAQ and compare page also list Rithmic for futures and claim "7 platforms", but Rithmic does not appear on the plans page or as a platform choice in the dashboard. Treat it as unavailable until the firm adds it. [S1, S5, S9, S7]

CFD markets are FX pairs and CFDs on indices, commodities, metals and crypto as streamed by the firm's liquidity provider. Per the rules page, leverage is 20:1 on FX (30:1 on Two Step), 10:1 on metals and indices, 5:1 on oil and 2:1 on crypto. [S1, S3]

Our Funded By Elevate code is fbe475010. It was supplied by the firm as a partner code, and we have not tested it at checkout, so we cannot confirm how much it takes off. PropFirmReviews earns a commission when you use it or buy through our link. Check the final price before you pay. The firm's own site also shows a public code, NOV26, which it says takes 40% off CFD and futures challenges and 25% off Instant Funding; that is the firm's offer, not ours. [S5]
