Prestige Lite Trader Program Information

5 min. readlast update: 08.04.2025

The Prestige Lite Program

Our Prestige Lite Program is a two-phase static drawdown evaluation account. Upon passing both phases, subject to the usual processing and review, you will then receive a FT+ Trader simulated live account. In this final phase, you will be able to request a withdrawal from the account, paid in real-world funds.

The Prestige Lite Program is a Static Drawdown program, meaning the maximum loss limit (or maximum drawdown limit) on your account is fixed based on your initial starting balance. This static maximum drawdown remains the same throughout trading and is not affected by any simulated profits or gains.

This program comes with a 6% profit target, a static max drawdown of 6% and a daily drawdown limit of 3% for both the first and second steps/phases. The daily drawdown is calculated from the Equity or Balance at 16:59 EST*, whichever is higher.

There are Minimum Profitable Days, requiring at least 0.5% simulated profit on a minimum of 3 trading days during each phase (these days do not need to be consecutive). Achieving this along with hitting the 6% profit target in each phase will result in a pass and an upgrade to the next phase, provided no other rules or T&Cs are breached.

This program also includes a 2% Symbol Loss Limit, which is a hard breach rule. This means that any single instrument (e.g. XAU/USD) may not incur more than a 2% simulated equity loss, calculated based on the Balance at 16:59 EST* the prior day. Multiple simultaneous trades on the same instrument count as one for the purpose of this rule. If this rule is triggered in any Evaluation phase or in the FT+ Trader Phase, the account will be terminated (Hard Breached).

This program allows for weekend holding and has no stop-loss requirement.


Scaling Information

The scaling target for the Prestige Lite Program is 20% simulated profit. A scale request may be submitted once the following conditions are met:

  • Minimum of 3 profitable trading days of at least 0.5% simulated profit

  • At least one withdrawal on the FT+ Trader simulated live account

  • The account must have been active for at least 2 months before the first scaling request

  • Each subsequent scaling request also requires a minimum of 2 months of trading activity

  • The 20% simulated profit must be shown in the closed balance at the time of the scaling request

  • Profits from previous levels do not carry forward, you must earn 20% new profit at each level in order to scale. Profit from previous levels is not counted towards the next level, meaning you cannot “skip” levels.

  • Scaling requests are subject to internal risk review

Please note: the account size does not double at each level. Please refer to the scale levels below

Withdrawals on the FT+ Trader Simulated Live Account

Once you have passed both evaluation phases and have been upgraded to the FT+ Trader simulated live account, you become eligible to request a withdrawal 7 days after account creation, provided that the Minimum Profitable Days (3 days at 0.5% profit) have been achieved, and you are requesting a withdrawal over the minimum withdrawal amount.

After this first withdrawal, you may request further withdrawals every 7 days, with no need to repeat the 3-day minimum trading condition, as it remains permanently fulfilled.

Minimum Withdrawal Information:
The minimum withdrawal amount on the Prestige Lite Program is 1% of the initial account size, when your account is above the starting balance. For example, on a $100,000 account, your minimum withdrawal would be $1,000. 

Example of eligible withdrawal request:

  • Trader has a $100,000 account

  • Day 1: $1,000 simulated profit

  • Day 2: $500 simulated profit

  • Day 18: $2,000 simulated profit

  • 3 Minimum profitable days at 0.5% has been achieved

  • Trader makes a withdrawal request of a minimum of $1,000 (1% of the initial account size)

  • After 7 more calendar days, the trader may request another withdrawal of a minimum of $1,000 (1% of the initial account size)

Example of ineligible withdrawal request:

  • Trader has a $100,000 account

  • Day 1: $1,000 simulated profit

  • Day 2: $500 simulated profit

  • Day 18: $200 simulated profit

  • Only 2 days met the 0.5% minimum, withdrawal is not yet allowed

  • Trader must meet 1 more day of 0.5% profit to qualify


Evaluation & Account Timing

There are no time limits for completing the evaluations or trading on the FT+ Trader simulated live accounts. The only requirement is account activity: at least one open and closed trade every 30 days is required to maintain an active account.

This applies to all evaluation stages and all funded FT+ Trader accounts.
