Frequently Asked Questions

AcidFutures is a proprietary trading firm for futures traders. We give you access to simulated firm capital — up to $200,000 — so you can trade the futures markets without risking your own money. Pass a simple evaluation (or skip it), trade our capital, and keep a growing share of your profits, paid out fast.

A proprietary (“prop”) firm funds traders with its own capital instead of the trader risking personal savings. You prove your skill on an evaluation account, get a funded account, and split the profits with the firm. AcidFutures handles the capital and risk; you focus on trading.

Futures are contracts to buy or sell an asset (like an index, currency, or commodity) at a set price on a future date. Unlike stocks, futures offer built-in leverage, nearly 24-hour trading, and deep liquidity on instruments like the E-mini S&P 500 (ES) or Nasdaq (NQ) — which makes them popular with active day traders.

No prior funding experience is required, but futures trading carries real risk and rewards skill. Beginners can start on a smaller account (like $25K) and lean on our Help Center, Discord community, and trade room to learn. Experienced traders get the freedom and room to scale quickly.

Yes. We operate on clear, published rules with no hidden traps, real payout proof, and a growing community. Everything — targets, drawdown, consistency, and our progressive Acid Split — is documented up front so you always know exactly where you stand.

Acid Easy is a one-step evaluation: hit your profit target once, then get funded — with no consistency rule at all once you're funded. Acid Instant skips the evaluation entirely — you're funded from day one, with a light 20% consistency rule. Easy is cheaper; Instant gets you on firm capital immediately. Both use the same account sizes ($25K–$200K) and the same Acid Split payout model.

Choose Acid Easy for the lowest cost and maximum freedom after you pass. Choose Acid Instant if you'd rather skip the evaluation and start trading funded capital right away.

$25K, $50K, $100K, $150K, and $200K. Pick the size that matches how you trade — the rules are the same across all of them.

As many as you like — we don't cap the number of accounts. Run them in parallel to trade more total capital.

Acid Easy starts at $82 for a $25K account and Acid Instant at $279, with larger sizes priced accordingly. Both are half the list price. It's a one-time fee — no monthly subscription and $0 activation. A reset costs 35% of the account price — $29 on a $25K Acid Easy.

No. Activation is $0 on every plan — the price you see is the only fee to start.

Yes. Instead of buying a brand-new account, you can reset a breached evaluation for 35% of the account price — $29 on a $25K Acid Easy, $48 on a $50K.

Yes — every account is half the list price, with rotating promo codes on top for extra savings.

Only until you've proven yourself. Acid Easy has a 40% consistency rule during the evaluation but none once funded; Acid Instant has a light 20% rule. It simply means your single best day can't exceed that percentage of your total profit — encouraging steady trading. Prove it once, then trade freely.

No. AcidFutures has no daily loss limit — only your total max loss matters, so a single rough session won't automatically end your day.

There's no time limit — take as long as you need. The only minimums are enough to satisfy the consistency rule (about 3 trading days for the Acid Easy evaluation, 5 for an Instant payout). Once your Acid Easy account is funded, there's no minimum at all.

Yes. News trading is fully allowed on all CME futures, including major releases like NFP, FOMC, and CPI. No blackout windows.

You can trade nearly around the clock during the futures session, but positions must be closed before the daily session close — there's no overnight or weekend holding. Open positions are auto-flattened at session close.

Contract limits scale with account size: 2 (25K), 4 (50K), 8 (100K), 12 (150K), and 16 (200K) minis, with micros at a 10:1 ratio.

No — trading must be manual. Automated systems, EAs, bots, and HFT aren't allowed on any account.

You may mirror your own trades across your own AcidFutures accounts, but hedging across accounts or copying an outside trader or firm is not allowed. A light guardrail also asks that at least half your trades be held longer than 5 seconds.

Each account size has a set maximum loss (for example, $1,750 on a $50K account — shown as a dollar figure in your dashboard). It's an end-of-day trailing drawdown: the limit rises as your end-of-day balance grows, then locks once it reaches your starting balance.

The trailing level updates at end of day, so it won't ratchet up on an intraday winner. Your account is still monitored in real time.

Yes. Both realized and unrealized P&L are monitored in real time, so an open losing position can reach your max loss — manage your risk with open trades in mind.

Your first three payouts on a funded account are a 50/50 split. From your 4th payout onwards you keep 75% of the profit.

Fast — Acid Easy and Acid Instant payouts are both processed within 24 hours, with crypto for quick global delivery. Speed is our whole thing.

You can request a payout every 5 winning days.

Reach the minimum profit across 5 winning days, meet the consistency rule for your plan, and keep your balance above your max-loss level. Then request your payout.

Just $100–125 — one of the lowest in the industry, so you can cash out early and often.

Payouts are available via crypto (fast, global) and bank transfer. Early payouts have a cap that increases as you take more, so limits loosen the more you get paid.

Platform access opens when our broker connection goes live. Until then you can buy an account and track it in your dashboard, but there is nowhere to place a trade yet. Your credentials come from us when it opens — you do not need your own broker login.

Pick a plan and size, create your account, choose your platform, and start trading — the whole flow takes just a few minutes.

We serve traders in most countries. A short list of restricted countries is maintained in our Help Center.

Payouts may be reportable income depending on your country. AcidFutures doesn't provide tax advice — please consult a local professional.
