AI Review

The Trading Pit's Futures Prime program is a single-phase, 30-day evaluation on accounts from $50,000 to $150,000, priced from €99 with the activation fee currently waived. Traders keep 80% of profits. The max drawdown trails the end-of-day balance until it reaches the starting balance, then locks there. Buying power scales daily with end-of-day profit — a funded $50,000 account starts at 2 standard contracts and grows to 4 as profit passes $5,000. Payouts require five profitable days of at least $150 each, and withdrawals are capped at 50% of realised profit or a per-size limit — $2,500 on $50K, $3,500 on $100K, $5,000 on $150K — whichever is lower. Level 1 market data is covered by the firm; Level 2 and exchange-comprehensive packages are paid add-ons.
