FuturesElite allows microscalping within certain limits. A trade will be marked as scalping if one of the following conditions is met:
For Elite, Prime and new Instant Challenges:
Trades executed in less than 10 seconds (Min 11 seconds).
Trades equal to or less than 1 points on NQ (Nasdaq 100) futures or the equivalent on other instruments.
If during the evaluation phase, scalping trades exceed 50% of the target, the account will not be eligible for an upgrade to a funded account.
Scalping transactions on funded accounts do not trigger a violation.
Scalping trades are not removed from your payout request, but they will be removed from your leftover profit/buffer chosen by the user. If the scalped amount is higher than the remaining buffer, the account will be breached.
For Old Starter, Pro and Instant challenges (prior to the 24th November 2025):
- Trades executed in less than 10 seconds (Min 11 seconds).
- Trades equal to or less than 5 points on NQ (Nasdaq 100) futures or the equivalent on other instruments.
For custom accounts, you can enable Scalp Mode, which modifies the detection criteria:
When Scalp Mode is enabled, only trades held for equal or less than 5 seconds will be classified as scalping.
You can obtain a scalping-enabled account by selecting Scalp Mode through the custom checkout. This will ensure that only ultra-short positions (5 seconds or less) are marked as scalping.
Important Notes:
If during the evaluation phase, scalping trades exceed 50% of the target, the account will not be eligible for an upgrade to a funded account.
Scalping transactions on funded accounts do not trigger a violation.
However, all scalping transactions (regardless of number or frequency) will be excluded from the gross payout calculation.
