How Trading with P1 Futures Works

Choose Your Path

Select the account size and program that best match your trading style and goals. Choose between the P1 Reserve, P1 Elite, or get started immediately with P1 Instant. Account sizes range from $25,000 to $200,000, with transparent pricing and no hidden fees.
Step 1

Pass the Evaluation

Trade with simulated capital and work toward your profit target while following clearly defined risk parameters. There is no time limit, so you can progress at your own pace. Every requirement is provided before your purchase, allowing you to know exactly what is expected from the start.
Step 2

Get Funded

Once you reach the profit target and complete all evaluation requirements, you will advance to the funded stage of up to $200,000. From there, your trading performance can make you eligible to receive real payouts.
Step 3

Time to Get Paid

Keep 90% of your eligible profits and request a payout after every five winning days of $150 or more. Continue following the rules, manage your risk, and build consistency while earning payouts from your performance.
Step 4

Advance to Live Trading

Traders who consistently demonstrate exceptional discipline, performance, and risk management may be considered for live trading opportunities. This is the highest level of the P1 Futures program and is reserved for traders who have proven themselves over time.
Step 5

What Are Futures?

Futures are financial contracts that allow traders to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price at a specific point in the future. They cover everything from stock indices like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, to commodities like crude oil and gold, to treasury bonds and currencies.

Futures markets are fast-moving, highly liquid, and available to trade nearly 24 hours a day, five days a week. This makes them a popular choice for active traders who want flexibility and opportunity across multiple market sessions.

At P1 Futures, all trading is conducted in a simulated environment. This means no real assets are bought or sold on your behalf, ever. You trade with virtual capital, and your performance is measured against defined targets and rules. If you succeed, you receive real payouts based on your results.

Understanding Your Drawdown

Drawdown is one of the most important concepts in funded trading, and P1 Futures uses one of the most trader-friendly drawdown structures available.

P1 Futures uses end-of-day trailing drawdown with a cap at your starting balance. Your maximum loss limit moves up as your account grows, but it never goes above your starting balance, and it never goes down.

Example: $50,000 account

Start at $50,000 MLL $48,000
Grow to $51,000 MLL $49,000
Grow to $52,000 MLL $50,000
Grow to $60,000 MLL $50,000

Once your MLL reaches your starting balance, it locks there permanently. It does not reset after payouts. It does not go down. Your starting capital is protected, and everything above it is yours to trade freely.

Important Notes

P1 Futures is a simulated trading evaluation platform. All trading activity is conducted using virtual, simulated funds. No real assets, securities, currencies, or futures contracts are bought or sold on your behalf at any time.

Payouts are performance-based payments made by P1 Futures. They are not investment returns, financial products, or regulated financial services.

Trading involves risk. Performance in a simulated environment does not guarantee equivalent results in live markets. Review the full Terms and Conditions and evaluation rules before purchasing. By completing a purchase, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the rules and agree to be bound by the Terms.
