Our 1-Step Flex Model is designed for traders who want to take larger payouts. It only has an Evaluation Phase, which you need to pass to gain access to a Simulated Funded Account where you can start withdrawing large profits every 4 days.
Evaluation Phase
Trading Objectives:
Reach the 6% profit target
Meet the 50% consistency rule; your most profitable day cannot account for more than 50.99% of your total profits. There is a 0.99% extra buffer, so you can pass in two days.
If you select a 40% consistency in the evaluation, your most profitable day cannot account for more than 40% of your total profits.
Once you meet your profit target, you'll have to wait up to 10 minutes to pass automatically. You will receive an email confirming your success.
Funded Phase
Follow the payout requirements below to become eligible for a payout.
Trading Rules
End-Of-Day Drawdown Limit
The EOD Drawdown Limit is the total amount your balance/equity can decrease. If the account balance increases by the end of the day, the drawdown limit adjusts upward. If the account balance decreases, the drawdown remains unchanged.
25K account: $1,000
50K account: $2,000
100K account: $3,000
150K account: $4,500
The EOD Drawdown locks when profits exceed the drawdown limit by $100. For example, in a $50,000 account with a $2,000 drawdown, once profits reach $2,100, the drawdown locks at $50,100.
Important: The EOD Drawdown locks after your first payout at starting balance + $100. This only applies to the Flex plan.
Exceeding your drawdown limit will result in account failure.
Contracts
A $25K account can trade up to 2 Minis (20 Micros).
A $50K account can trade up to 4 Minis (40 Micros).
A $100K account can trade up to 6 Minis (60 Micros).
A $150K account can trade up to 10 Minis (100 Micros).
Swing Trading and Trading Hours
All positions must be closed BEFORE 4:59 PM EST Monday through Friday, before the market closes. Any open positions will be automatically closed at 4:59 PM EST. This will not result in a fail or loss of account.
Starting at 6:00 PM EST, Monday through Thursday, and on Sunday evening, you can start placing trades again.
This means that you are not able to swing trade or hold positions over multiple days.
News Trading
You are allowed to trade any news events.
Inactivity Rule - Evaluation
Place at least one trade every 20 days. Your account will be deactivated 20 days after your last trade.
Maximum Account Idle Time - Funded
To keep your funded account active, you must place at least one trade per week (Monday through Friday). This is per account, not per user.
Payout Guidelines - Funded Account
Earn a generous 90% split on all profits you make.
You can request payouts every 4 days.
Once you submit a payout request, it cannot be edited or canceled.
Be aware that if you fail your account before the request is processed, your payout will be denied.
Any trader can have a maximum allocation of 5 funded accounts at any given time, of which 3 can be from the following plans:
Any 150K accounts
1-step Flex 50% consistency accounts
1-Step Daily 50% consistency accounts

Contract Scaling Plan
1-Step Flex Funded accounts scale progressively—your max position size grows as your balance increases. Limits are adjusted at the end of the trading day (5 pm EST) based on your closing balance.
Note: This scaling applies only to funded accounts. During evaluation, you have access to full contract limits (2, 4, 6, 10, depending on account size).

Starting Max Contracts | 1 minis / 10 micros | 2 minis / 20 micros | 3 minis / 30 micros | 4 minis / 40 micros |
Milestone 1 ($1,000 in profit) | 2 minis / 20 micros | 3 minis / 30 micros | 4 minis / 40 micros | 5 minis / 50 micros |

Payout window
You can request payouts daily after the reconciliation. Daily account reconciliations occur between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. EST.
Once your payout is requested, your funds are immediately withdrawn from your account. You can continue trading while we review your payout request.
Path to Live
A trader may be moved to a Live account after taking 4 payouts in a single account or 10 payouts since the last Live transition (or since starting with FundedSeat).
Our Review team monitors all traders and may reach out to move you to the Live Account before taking 4 payouts. This decision is made at FundedSeat's discretion, based on your performance.
Live Funded account upgrades are invitation-only and granted at FundedSeat's discretion. Our team will contact eligible traders via email when they meet the criteria.
