Instant Funding, No Evaluation, Faster Payouts: What's New at ETF
New funded accounts, faster rewards, and over 13 million dollars paid out.
ETF is a futures prop firm for traders who want uncapped Live Elite rewards. Been away for a while? A lot has changed. New account types, instant funding options, faster rewards, and a few surprises worth knowing about before you decide what's next.
Your First Reward in as Little as 5 Days
Five days. That's how fast it can happen now.
The new 10K DTF Mini Inferno is instant funding for futures traders. No evaluation. No multi-week challenge. No waiting to prove yourself before you can start. You buy the account, you start trading a funded account from day one, and you work toward your first reward on your own timeline.
Instant Funding, No Evaluation Required
One-Step accounts are still our most popular. But two new options just joined the lineup, and a lot of traders have been asking for exactly these.
Direct to Funded (DTF). ETF now offers a no-evaluation funded account, no challenge required to get started. Skip the challenge, skip the profit targets, and go straight to trading a sim-funded account from day one. The newest DTF account, the 10K Mini Inferno, dropped June 2026.
Fast Track. Prefer the evaluation route but want to move fast? Fast Track has the lowest minimum trading day requirement of any ETF evaluation. Fewer days between you and your Elite Sim Funded account than any other path we offer.
Faster Rewards. More Often. Guaranteed.
Reward frequency just improved across the board. Elite Sim Funded accounts are paid out on Monday and Wednesday, twice a week, every week. Live Elite accounts are paid every business day, Monday through Friday, with no ceiling on earnings.
Every reward request is approved within 48 hours. That's backed by over $13 million paid out to funded futures traders. Live Elite traders keep 80% of everything they earn, with no ceiling on what they can pull. Read the full guarantee here: 48-Hour Reward Guarantee.
$13 Million Paid. 59,000 Traders Strong.
More than $13 million paid out. Over 59,000 traders on the platform. More than 13,000 funded futures traders and counting. The number goes up every week.

Evaluation Resets Just $47. Elite Resets, Less Than You Think.
Failing an evaluation is not a reason to walk away. At $47, evaluation resets are one of the cheapest ways back into a funded trading account anywhere in the industry. Get back in. Keep going.
For a limited time, if your Elite Sim Funded account fails, you can reset it at a DEEP DISCOUNT. Find more information here: Elite Account Reset Procedure.
Beat the Beast Is Making the Rounds Again
Beat the Beast was a regular part of ETF for a while. Then it went quiet. Now it's back.
One trading day. Hit a profit target. Auto-pass your evaluation. No waiting, no multi-week grind. Just results at the close.
We're not announcing dates. We're just saying: stay tuned.
