Our mission is to identify consistently profitable traders and provide them with a clear path to live funding in the futures market. We offer a variety of accounts with different drawdown types and numerous sizes to suit your trading needs. Our evaluation accounts provide leverage ranging from 50K to 300K, each with specific profit targets and drawdown limits. Once you pass an evaluation, you can begin trading to earn a payout in our Elite Sim-Funded account! A brief explanation of how the various drawdown types work is below:

• Live Trailing: Max drawdown never stops trailing from your highest unrealized profit.
• Static: Max drawdown never moves from your minimum allowed balance. The maximum loss limit always remains fixed, regardless of the profits you earn.
• End-of-Day: Max drawdown trails your highest end-of-day balance at market close. You also have an intraday daily loss limit calculated from the prior day's ending balance.
• Diamond Hands: This account operates the same as End-of-Day; however, it allows traders to hold positions overnight and over the weekend, which is an exclusive perk only offered by ETF.
• Explore our products and take advantage of our current promotion at elitetraderfunding.com/products

Funded Engineer announced Saturday that all funded accounts from challenges purchased before the migration on February 7 will be compromised, only offering them a Phase 1 account as a replacement. New accounts bought after February 7 are not affected.

Regarding pending payouts, they say that they will be processed once the firm regains stability. The firm contends that this action is crucial for its longevity and ability to continue operating. Following strong reactions to the announcement, Funded Engineer has revised its approach by offering compromised account holders an alternative to retain their accounts, but with a maximum monthly profit of 1% until the firm stabilizes.

All considered, we have concluded that this approach does not meet the standards we uphold for firms listed on Propfirmmatch. Consequently, we have suspended Funded Engineer from our platform.
