What stands out
Seven very different accounts. Elite Trader Funding sells live-trailing, end-of-day, static and overnight accounts, so the plan you pick decides most of your rules.
1-Step trails on open profit. On the 50K there's no daily loss limit, but the $2,000 drawdown follows your open profit as it happens. You need $3,000 and at least five trading days, with up to 8 contracts.
End of Day adds a daily limit that ends the account. Its $1,100 limit on the 50K isn't a pause for the day: breaking it fails the account.
Diamond Hands and Direct to Funded allow overnight and weekend holds. Most other plans close out by 3:59 PM Central.
Fast Track is quick and tight. The 10K accounts must pass within 10 days, with at least three trading days and no day worth more than 40% of profit.
Funded accounts left idle for 7 days are closed.
