Blueberry Futures vs Elite Trader Funding: prop firm rules compared

Blueberry Futures' Accelerated plan and Elite Trader Funding's 1-Step plan trail the drawdown intraday: the floor follows the highest balance the account reaches during the session, open profit included, and never moves back down — a winning trade given back before it is closed still lifts it. For example, at Blueberry Futures' Accelerated plan and Elite Trader Funding's 1-Step plan a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $48,000, $2,000 under the start.

On Blueberry Futures' Ascent plan and Elite Trader Funding's End of Day plan the drawdown trails at end of day: the floor is recalculated once, from the closing balance, so open profit given back during the session does not raise it — but equity touching the floor during the session still counts. For example, at Blueberry Futures' Ascent plan and Elite Trader Funding's End of Day plan a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $48,000, $2,000 under the start.

Elite Trader Funding's Static plan uses a static drawdown: the floor is set once, the drawdown below the starting balance, and does not move for the whole evaluation. For example, at Elite Trader Funding's Static plan a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $48,000, $2,000 under the start.

On Elite Trader Funding's 1-Step and End of Day plans the trailing floor stops rising once it reaches breakeven and stays there.

A hard daily loss limit ends the evaluation: one day that loses that much fails the account. Elite Trader Funding's End of Day plan sets it at $1,100 on $50,000. Blueberry Futures and Elite Trader Funding's 1-Step and Static plans have no daily loss limit, so a losing day is bounded only by the max drawdown.

Elite Trader Funding starts the trading day at 6:00 PM ET (5:00 PM CT); a daily loss limit counts from that reset, not from midnight.

A consistency rule caps how much of the total profit one day may carry. Neither Blueberry Futures nor Elite Trader Funding applies a consistency rule in the evaluation, so one large day can count in full toward the target.

Blueberry Futures requires at least 2 trading days on Ascent and 1 on Accelerated before a pass; Elite Trader Funding requires at least 5 trading days before a pass.

Blueberry Futures' evaluation runs for 30 days; a target not reached by then is not a pass.

On automated trading — a strategy or bot sending the orders — Blueberry Futures has no written answer on record; at Elite Trader Funding it is not allowed in the evaluation or on a funded account. Written answers: Elite Trader Funding (read Oct 21, 2026).

Blueberry Futures and Elite Trader Funding differ on 3 of the evaluation rules compared here: drawdown model, daily loss limit and minimum trading days. If your trades often run into open profit that you give back before closing them, start with the drawdown: Blueberry Futures trails intraday or at end of day, depending on the plan, while Elite Trader Funding trails intraday or at end of day or holds a static floor, depending on the plan. If you keep trading after a losing morning, look at what the daily loss limit does: Blueberry Futures has no daily loss limit; Elite Trader Funding fails the account at its daily loss limit on some plans and has no limit on others. To finish in as few sessions as possible, compare the minimum days: Blueberry Futures needs 1 to 2 trading days, depending on the plan, Elite Trader Funding needs at least 5 trading days.

Once funded, the profit split is 90/10 at Blueberry Futures and 100% of sim profits up to $25K at Elite Trader Funding. Payout terms — Blueberry Futures: After 5 profitable days of $200+; Elite Trader Funding: Approved daily, paid in Monday / Wednesday batches. Blueberry Futures sells 2 plans: Ascent and Accelerated; Elite Trader Funding sells 3 plans: 1-Step, End of Day and Static. Each plan carries its own version of the rules above, which is why they are listed plan by plan. If a strategy or bot will send your orders, Blueberry Futures has no written answer on record, and Elite Trader Funding's written answer is not allowed in the evaluation or on a funded account.
