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 $50,000 account starts at 5 standard contracts and grows to 10 as profit passes $5,000. Payouts require five profitable days of at least $200 each, and the first withdrawal is capped at the lower of $5,000 or 50% of realised profit. Level 1 market data is covered by the firm; Level 2 and exchange-comprehensive packages are paid add-ons.
