When an account is created, they come with a standard 5% “buffer zone”.  This buffer is intended to prevent traders from being stopped out immediately and give them time to establish their strategy and create positive trades.  In other words, when the account is opened we allow a 5% Max Loss before the account is disabled.

Max Loss Per Account:

• Rally – $23,750
• Daytona – $47,500
• GT – $142,500
• LeMans – $285,000

Once you’ve earned 5% of your account balance you become eligible for payouts and can withdraw.   You do not have to maintain the 5% “buffer zone”, you just have to reach it to make your account eligible for payouts.

For example – let’s say that a trader has a LeMans account and has an excellent 7-8 trading days and for that timeframe earned $15,000, bringing their account balance to $315,000.  They have now reached their buffer zone, and activated payouts.  But, for the last few days they take small losses and their final account balance after the 10 trading days is $312,000.  Because the 5% buffer zone is reached the trader can request up to the Max Withdraw limit of $4000.

Fast Track Trading processes withdrawals within 48hrs from when they are requested but method of processing will dictate how fast funds reach your account:

All KYC is performed by Rise during payment verification.

Payouts are the most important part of trading as it rewards us for our efforts and allow us to sustain our lifestyle. To this end, Fast Track Trading strives to deliver the most attractive and flexible payout terms in the industry. Payouts are both tiered and structured and have 2 phases:

1. Phase 1 – 5 Day Payout
   • Upon purchasing a new account(s), traders can receive a payout in as little as 5 days by achieving a daily profit of 20% of their profit buffer.
   • For example, if a trader has opted for a Rally account, their buffer zone is 5% or $1250.  To qualify for a 5-day payment they’d need to earn at least $250 per day.
   • After these 5 days of consecutively profitable trade, traders will be allowed to withdraw up to $2,000 per account.
   • Account Max Withdrawals for 5 Day Payout:
     • Rally – $1000
     • Daytona -$1250
     • GT – $1500
   • 5 Day Payouts are available to traders on their first account(s) purchases only.  Further purchases will be subject to the 10 day payout schedule.
2. Phase 2 – Standard Bi-Weekly Payout
   • Subsequently, if a trader takes a payout after 5 days, they will be eligible for payouts every 10 trading days after that (a trading day can be defined as completing at least 1 trade in a 24hr period).
   • ***No minimum daily profit thresholds are required.
   • *** The 20% consistency rule applies
   • Account Max Withdrawals for 10  Day Payout:
     • Rally – $1500
     • Daytona – $2000
     • GT – $3000
     • LeMans - $4000
3. What if a Trader doesn’t opt for a payout in 5 days?
   • If a trader wishes to keep profits in their account to further accrue their balance and forfeit the 5 day payout option, they would roll into the 10 day payout cycle.
   • Said differently, if a trader decides to forgo or is ineligible for the 5 day payout, they would only need to trade 5 more days (for a total of 10) to qualify for a payout within the 10 day payout timeframe.

The minimum withdrawal amount is $250

Withdrawals are processed through our payment partner Rise and can be via ACH, Wire, Crypto. Additional methods are being considered and will be added as demand for them increases.

No. Hedging is not allowed as per CME rules.

Yes. Consistency is the found stone of Fast Track Trading’s mission and our goal is to create an environment that garners profitable trading and regular payouts for our users. Generally speaking, as there is no evaluation phase of our programs, a trader cannot exceed more than 20% of their total profits in a single trading session.

More details regarding consistency rules for payouts can be found in the “Payouts & Withdrawals” section.

Becoming a Live trader is widely considered the major league of proprietary futures trading. Being graduated into a firms Live Trading desk is often a signature of consistency, profitability and success in trading and at Fast Track Trading, this distinction is no different. But, where we separate ourselves from the industry is how we single out traders who achieve this hallmark – we do so through a highly proprietary set of metrics to ensure that traders have what it takes in terms of risk management, money management, market mechanics and “feel”.

At face value, it takes about 60-75 days from the time a trader begins their journey with us until we ascertain their ability to trade at the highest level. From their perspective, if they receive 5 consecutive payments, have a positive account balance and no account resets, (at the time of Live account conversion) we will deposit the aggregate of all profits into a live trading account in their name.

There are no commissions of any kind in any account class until traders are graduated into Live trading.

Yes! News trading is allowed during all announcements such as FOMC, CPI and NFP although Fast Track Trading urges caution when doing so as the markets can be highly volatile during these timeframes.

No. Fast Track Trading does no implement daily loss limits on traders.

Max Drawdown

The maximum drawdown is calculated based on your current balance, including your profits. It’s always set at -5% of your current balance. For example:

• When you first recieve your account, your maximum drawdown is $2,500, therefore making your minimum balance $47,500.
• If your account balance is $50,000 and you make $2,500, bringing your balance to $52,500, your new drawdown limit is $50,000.

By following these guidelines, you can effectively manage your account, achieve consistent profits, and successfully request payouts. For more details on other account types, check out our articles on the Rally, Daytona, GT, and LeMans accounts.

Fast Track Trading uses an EOD (End of Day) drawdown policy that trails based on closed profits for each trading day and employs a Max Loss Limit of trading accounts starting balance. If the account has a losing the day, the drawdown will not move up or down, it will stay static. Drawdown only moves if a day is overall profitable. The drawdown will lock to the starting account balance once enough profits have been made in the account.
