Our verdict

FundedElite suits a trader who wants to tune every term at checkout, since splits from 60% to 95%, payout intervals from 3 to 21 days and leverage up to 1:100 on forex are all selectable, and Flash Activation starts any account for $5. The trade-off is complexity and cost opacity, with per-size prices for 1-Step and Lite models missing from the text sources and a $500 gross cap on each crypto payout cycle. Catalyst is the standout for momentum traders, doubling from $25,000 to $1,000,000 across six payouts with splits climbing to 95%. The 21-day first payout wait and the disputed United States eligibility are the two checks to clear before buying.

Fundedelite is bad
The poster says a payout request was met with a claim of VPN use and an offer to split the profit, and that a later account was closed. Replies question why they went back; the poster cites the weekly payout schedule. One account, unverified.
