4. Futures Trading Challenge Program

UTradeCapital offers a 5-Phase Futures Evaluation program for traders who wish to trade futures contracts on the CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) via the platform.

4.1 UTrade Futures Evaluation

The UTrade Futures Evaluation follows a 5-Phase journey. Complete the Evaluation phase to begin your progression toward a Live CME-funded account.

Available Account Sizes, Contract Limits, and Fees:

4.2 Evaluation Rules

• Equity Growth Target: 9%
• Maximum Daily Loss: 5% (calculated at End-of-Day based on prior day's closing balance)
• Maximum Drawdown: 5% (Trailing, calculated at End-of-Day)
• Consistency Rule: 30% — No single trading day may account for more than 30% of your total profits
• Time Limit: Unlimited
• Minimum Trading Days: 3 profitable trading days (each with a minimum gain of 0.5%)

4.3 The 5-Phase Journey

Upon passing the Evaluation, traders progress through a structured 5-Phase journey toward a Live CME-funded account:

In the example above, a trader with a $50,000 account can earn up to $7,000 in total payouts before graduating to a Live CME account.

4.4 Trading Platform

• We have risk management software that is synced with the accounts we create. This allows us to analyze your performance in real time for achievements or rule violations. As such, you must use an account that we provide to you.

4.5 Instruments

You may trade CME Group futures contracts available on the trading platform, including but not limited to:

• Equity Index Futures: ES (E-mini S&P 500), NQ (E-mini Nasdaq-100), YM (E-mini Dow), RTY (E-mini Russell 2000), and their Micro equivalents (MES, MNQ, MYM, M2K)
• Energy Futures: CL (Crude Oil), NG (Natural Gas), and Micro equivalents (MCL, MNG)
• Metals Futures: GC (Gold), SI (Silver), HG (Copper), and Micro equivalents (MGC, SIL)
• Agricultural Futures: ZC (Corn), ZS (Soybeans), ZW (Wheat), and others
• Interest Rate Futures: ZB (30-Year Bond), ZN (10-Year Note), ZF (5-Year Note)
• Specific instrument availability may vary. Available products may change from time to time.

5. Trading Rules and Requirements

5.1 Risk Management Rules

All Futures Accounts (Evaluation and Funded):

• Maximum Daily Loss: 5% of account balance (calculated at End-of-Day based on the prior day's closing balance)
• Maximum Drawdown: 5% Trailing (calculated at End-of-Day — the trailing drawdown is based on your highest end-of-day balance)
• Consistency Rule: 30% — No single trading day may account for more than 30% of your total profits. This rule ensures that your trading results are driven by consistent performance rather than a single outsized win.

Reaching any drawdown limit constitutes a hard breach and results in immediate evaluation failure or funded account termination.

5.2 Equity Growth Target

• Evaluation Phase: 9% equity growth target
• Once funded, no further equity growth target — start trading and earning payouts

5.3 Minimum Trading Requirements

• Minimum 3 profitable trading days
• Each profitable day must have a minimum gain of 0.5%
• Days do not need to be consecutive

5.4 Maximum Inactivity

• Evaluation Accounts: 21 consecutive days of inactivity will result in your account being considered inactive and breached
• Funded Accounts: 14 consecutive days of inactivity will result in your account being considered inactive and breached

5.5 News Trading Restriction

5.6 Automated Strategies

Subject to our Prohibited Trading policy below, you may trade using an automated strategy (Expert Advisor or bot).

5.7 Prohibited Trading Strategies

The following are strictly prohibited ("Prohibited Trading"). If you are unsure whether your strategy is allowed, contact us before trading.

• Latency arbitrage and price exploitation — Taking advantage of slow price feeds, platform delays, or pricing errors to gain an unfair edge
• Tick scalping / HFT-style trading — Placing and closing trades within seconds purely to exploit execution speed or small price discrepancies
• Insider trading — Trading on non-public or insider information
• Front-running — Placing trades ahead of known orders placed elsewhere
• Copy trading services and account management — Having someone else trade your account, or using a copy trading service to mirror another trader's positions on your account
• Challenge-passing services — Using any third-party strategy, off-the-shelf bot, or service that is marketed specifically to pass prop firm challenges
• Strategy switching after funding — Using one strategy to pass your evaluation, then switching to a completely different strategy once funded
• Arbitrage between accounts — Hedging or arbitraging positions between your UTradeCapital account and any other account (yours or a third party's), whether with us or another company
• Hedging across multiple UTradeCapital accounts — Opening opposite positions on the same instrument across two or more of your UTradeCapital accounts
• Martingale and grid strategies designed to exploit drawdown rules — Aggressive position-doubling or grid systems used primarily to recover losses in a way that games the drawdown limits
• Gap trading exploitation — Deliberately holding large positions over weekends or holidays solely to profit from price gaps at market open
• Trading that harms our liquidity provider relationships — Any trading activity that could cause our liquidity providers or the CME exchange to cancel trades, restrict our access, or raise regulatory concerns
• Any other form of manipulation or abuse — Any activity designed to exploit, manipulate, or abuse our systems, platforms, or rules

If the Company detects that your trading constitutes Prohibited Trading, your participation in the program will be terminated and may include forfeiture of any fees paid to the Company. Additionally, before any Trader shall receive a funded account, the trading activity of the Trader shall be reviewed by both the Company and the Liquidity Provider to determine whether such trading activity constitutes Prohibited Trading. In the case of Prohibited Trading, the Trader shall not receive a funded account.

The Company reserves the right to disallow or block any Trader from participating in the program for any reason, in the Company's sole and absolute discretion.

5.8 Position Sizing

• Position sizes are measured in contracts (Standard and Micro)
• Each account size has a maximum number of Standard and Micro contracts that can be held simultaneously (see Section 4.1)
• We reserve the right to limit the number of open positions you may enter or maintain at any time, and to revise in response to market conditions the drawdown levels at which trading will be halted
• We or the Broker reserve the right to refuse to accept any order

5.9 Contract Sizes

On the trading platform, futures contracts are standardized by the CME exchange:

• Standard Contracts: Full-size CME futures contracts (e.g., ES = $50 × S&P 500 index, NQ = $20 × Nasdaq-100 index, CL = 1,000 barrels of crude oil, GC = 100 troy ounces of gold)
• Micro Contracts: 1/10th the size of the corresponding Standard contract (e.g., MES = $5 × S&P 500 index, MNQ = $2 × Nasdaq-100 index)

5.10 Weekend and Overnight Positions

Positions can be held overnight and over the weekend, subject to exchange margin requirements.

6. Funded Trading Accounts

6.1 Qualification

Upon successfully completing the Evaluation phase, you will enter the 5-Phase funded journey. Your funded account will be the same size as your evaluation account.

6.2 Evaluation Fee Refund

Refund Schedule (UTrade Futures Evaluation):

6.3 Gains Split

• Gains Split: 90% to trader, 10% to UTradeCapital

6.4 Account Compounding

There are no limits on compounding. You may grow your funded account balance through profitable trading. Your profits remain in the account and increase your available equity for trading larger positions.

6.5 Funded Account Rules

All trading rules from Section 5 apply to funded accounts. The rules for the Funded Account are the same as your Evaluation account, with the exception that there is no equity growth target. Key rules include:

• 5% maximum daily loss (End-of-Day calculation)
• 5% maximum drawdown (Trailing, End-of-Day)
• 30% consistency rule
• News trading restrictions
• Prohibited strategies
• Inactivity limits (14 days for funded accounts)

6.6 Withdrawal Schedule and Terms

Payout Cycle:

• Payouts are available every 14 days
• Your payout amount is subject to the 90/10 gains split
• Payouts increase as you progress through the 5-Phase journey

Withdrawal Process:

• Submit withdrawal request through your trader dashboard by clicking the Withdraw Profits button
• Enter the amount to withdraw
• All gains are distributed via the available outbound payment solutions offered from time to time
• Once your withdrawal request is approved, we will pay the monies owed to you
• We reserve the right to change the withdrawal methods and options at any time

6.7 Fees and Commissions

There are no monthly management fees for funded accounts. Funded accounts receive the same pricing and commissions as charged by the CME exchange and our Liquidity Provider to other self-funded, retail trading accounts.

6.8 Account Limits

Evaluation Limits:

• You are allowed to take only one futures evaluation of a specific account size at a time

Maximum Funded Limits:

• A maximum of $1 million in active funded plans per person is permitted

Compounding Limits:

• There are no limits on compounding

6.9 Pricing and Execution

Futures prices are provided by the CME exchange. We do not have any control over exchange pricing or trade executions.

6.10 Receiving Your Funded Account

Upon passing your Evaluation, you will receive an email with instructions on how to access and complete both your "Know Your Customer" verification and your "Trader Agreement". Once both are completed and supporting documentation is provided, your Funded Account will be created, funded and issued to you typically within 24-48 business hours. You will receive a confirmation email once this account is being enabled.

6.11 Counterparty and Trade Execution

For purposes of managing risk and minimizing transaction costs, we may offset or negate market risk and act as the direct counterparty to certain trades initiated in the Account. Such trades are executed at prices provided by arm's length third parties. This framework is intended to ensure you receive real market execution on your trades, while simultaneously allowing us to manage risk dynamically by routing existing positions or future orders to third parties for execution as we deem appropriate.

Regardless of whether we act as counterparty to your trades, the gain or loss on your funded account is not calculated differently. However, when we act as the counterparty to your trades, there is an inherent potential conflict of interest because your trades do not result in net gain or loss to us, as your trades would if we were not the direct counterparty.

6.12 Notional Funding

Once you pass the Evaluation, we provide you with a funded account, backed by our capital. The capital in your funded account is notional and may not match the amount of capital on deposit with the Liquidity Provider. A Funded Account is notionally funded when actual funds in the account (i.e., the equity in a Funded Account represented by the amount of capital) differs from the nominal account size (i.e., the size of the Funded Account that establishes the initial account value and level of trading). Notional funds are the difference between nominal account size and actual capital in a Funded Account.

Use of notional funding does not impact your trading conditions in any way.

6.13 Hard Breach with Gains

If you have gains in your funded account at the time of a hard breach, you will still receive your portion of those gains.

6.14 Affiliates

Affiliates are credited for referrals when a user creates an account using a link or discount code provided by the Affiliate.

6.15 Account Tracking

Upon purchasing an Evaluation, you will receive access to a trader dashboard where you can monitor your Evaluation and Funded Accounts. The dashboard is updated every time we calculate metrics, which occurs roughly every 60 seconds. It is your responsibility to monitor your breach levels.

6.16 Trading Hours

Futures trading hours are set by the CME exchange. Standard CME Globex trading hours apply. You can see the trading hours for each product within the trading platform.

6.17 Billing

Charges will come across in the name of dashboardanalytix.com on your statement.

7. Refund and Cancellation Policy

7.1 Evaluation Fee Refunds

• Evaluation fees are non-refundable once the evaluation begins
• The only refund occurs when you successfully complete the evaluation and receive funding (see Section 6.2)
• No refunds for failed evaluations, even if unused

7.3 Funded Account Termination

If your funded account is terminated due to rule violations:

• No refunds of evaluation fees
• Forfeiture of all profits in the account
• No reinstatement or appeals

7.4 Voluntary Account Closure

If you voluntarily close your funded account:

• You may withdraw your available balance according to withdrawal terms
• Evaluation fees are not refunded
• Account cannot be reinstated

8. Account Violations and Termination

8.1 Hard Breach vs Soft Breach

Soft Breach: A soft breach means that we will close all trades that have violated the rule. However, you can continue trading in your Evaluation or Funded Account.

Hard Breach: A hard breach means that you violated either the Daily Loss Limit or Max Drawdown rule. Both rules constitute a hard breach. In the event you have a hard breach, you will fail the Evaluation or have your Funded Account taken away.

8.2 Evaluation Phase Violations

• A hard breach results in immediate evaluation failure
• No warnings are provided
• Evaluation fee is forfeited
• Must purchase new evaluation to retry
