Elite Trader Funding: daily reset and automated trading

From the same preset as the rules table. Anything PassTraq has not read in Elite Trader Funding’s own rules says so — nothing is estimated.

When the trading day resets

5 PM Chicago time (CT)

Elite Trader Funding’s new trading day starts at this time, and a daily loss limit, on plans that have one, resets with it. An end-of-day drawdown can be measured at a different time — confirm it on the firm’s site.

Automated trading (bots, strategies)

Evaluation

AI, bots, EAs and algorithms need Elite’s written authorization (checked when a payout is audited); approved copiers are listed.

How PassTraq tracks Elite Trader Funding

Add your Elite Trader Funding account, import or sync your trades, and the challenge tracker computes these limits live — the $3,000 target, and the $2,000 intraday trailing drawdown on a $50,000 account — against your real P&L, and warns you before a breach, not after. On paid plans, Finia, the AI coach, reviews your trades against the same rulebook.
