Simulated futures evaluations

Your floor is set once a day.

Profirms evaluations use an end-of-day drawdown: your loss floor is set at the 5:00 PM ET close, from your closing balance, and it doesn't move during the session. One-time fee from $40. No monthly fees, no activation fee.

Simulated trading only. Fees apply; passing is not guaranteed. Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss. Not investment advice. 18+.

End-of-day drawdown

Your floor only moves up, once a day.

Your loss floor is calculated once a day, at 5:00 PM ET, from your closing balance, not from your intraday high. During the session it doesn't move. It steps up only when your closing balance does, and it locks once it reaches your starting balance.

Questions

Before you decide.

Is any real money traded?

No. You pay a one-time fee for a simulated evaluation account. No real money is deposited, invested or traded on your behalf, and Profirms is not a broker or an investment adviser.

How do I pass?

Reach the profit target while your equity stays above the floor, stay within the max size and be flat by 4:59 PM ET. There is no consistency rule and no minimum number of trading days. Passing is not guaranteed.

What happens after I pass?

You qualify for a simulated funded account that runs on the same rules: the same end-of-day drawdown and the same buffer. Payout terms are in the Terms of Service, section 7.

When do I get my login?

By email, as soon as your account is set up. Our trading platforms are in final checks, so logins go out once our platform provider goes live. Practice trading in the browser terminal unlocks at checkout, so you can rehearse the rules meanwhile, and your order stays fully refundable until your login is delivered.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. Your purchase is fully refundable any time before your login is delivered: email supportprofirms@gmail.com from the address you used at checkout. Once your login is delivered, the fee is non-refundable under the Refund Policy.

Who can buy?

Anyone 18 or older where our programs are available. Eligibility is set out in the Terms of Service.

Which contracts can I trade?

CME Group futures: equity index (ES, NQ, YM, RTY), energy (CL), metals (GC, SI), rates and their micro contracts. The full symbol list comes with your login.
