Designed for experienced futures traders
A direct pathway for traders who understand the mechanics.
The one-assessment structure is built for traders who understand contract exposure, intraday equity and how to pursue a target without distorting their normal process.
Choose it when a direct assessment, monthly model and futures-specific risk structure align naturally with the way you trade.
You want one focused assessment.
There is no second evaluation phase, giving experienced futures traders a more direct route toward funded-account progression.
You understand intraday equity risk.
The trailing threshold follows the highest equity reached intraday, so unrealised gains can move the breach level upward.
You can build profit consistently.
The 33.33% rule rewards repeatable execution rather than relying on one oversized day to produce the result.
A clear route from assessment to funded trading
Four straightforward stages from account selection to funded progression.
Each stage has a clear purpose: select the right exposure, demonstrate consistency, complete verification and carry the same process into funded trading.
01
Choose your account
Match account size and contract allowance to your futures experience, strategy and normal risk.
02
Complete the assessment
Reach the 6% target while staying above the trailing-loss threshold and inside the consistency rule.
03
Complete verification
After passing, complete identity verification and the required agreement review before account issuance.
04
Progress to funded trading
Maintain the rules, retain the required buffer and work toward eligible payouts at the 80% standard split.
The rules that shape the account
Understand the mechanics before choosing your account.
Three mechanics define the route: the 6% target, the 33.33% consistency ratio and the Intraday Equity HWM trailing-loss threshold.
02 • Consistency
≤ 33.33%
Your best profitable day cannot represent more than one-third of total profit when passing or requesting a payout.
Best day profit ÷ total profit × 100
03 • Max Trailing Loss
Intraday Equity HWM
The breach level follows the highest equity reached intraday. Once it reaches the original starting balance, it locks there.

1-Step Futures FAQs
Everything to know before choosing your account.
Review the essential structure, billing, risk and platform details before choosing your account.
StructureHow does the 1-Step Futures assessment work?+
Choose an account size, reach the 6% target within the listed assessment window and remain inside the Intraday Equity HWM trailing-loss and 33.33% consistency rules. After passing, complete the required verification and agreement steps before funded-account progression.
RiskWhat is Intraday Equity HWM trailing loss?+
The maximum-loss threshold follows the highest equity reached during the trading day, including unrealised gains. Once the threshold reaches the original starting balance, it locks there and does not trail higher.
ConsistencyHow does the 33.33% consistency rule work?+
Your most profitable trading day must not represent more than 33.33% of total profit when qualifying or requesting an eligible payout. This rewards repeatable performance across multiple trading days.
BillingHow does the monthly subscription work?+
Billing begins on the purchase date and continues monthly while the account remains active through the assessment and funded stages. Cancelling the subscription closes the account.
PayoutsHow does the funded-account buffer affect payouts?+
The listed non-withdrawable buffer remains in the funded account as protection above the maximum-loss threshold. The 80% standard split applies to eligible profit above that buffer.
PlatformsWhich trading platforms and markets are available?+
The pathway is planned with DXFutures and Volumetrica, with eligible exchange-listed products across major futures categories. Platform availability and account configuration are shown during purchase and remain subject to the applicable terms.
AvailabilityCan I purchase a 1-Step Futures account now?+
Yes. 1-Step Futures is now live, with account sizes from $25K to $150K available through the listed checkout links.
