Introduction
FundedSeat account resets allow you to restart your evaluation from scratch without canceling your subscription and buying a new account. As of April 2026, resets cost between $65 and $160, are only available during evaluation (not after funding), and don't change your billing renewal date.
I haven't reset a FundedSeat account myself. This information comes from their help center and pricing documentation. Where the details get tricky, especially around billing cycle interactions, I'll spell it out clearly.
Resets sound straightforward, but the decision to reset vs. buy a new account vs. wait for renewal is more nuanced than most traders think. Your billing cycle timing, available discounts, and how close you were to passing all factor in.
How Do You Reset a FundedSeat Account?
FundedSeat account resets are done directly through your dashboard. You don't need to open a support ticket, email anyone, or wait for approval.
The process:
- Log into your FundedSeat dashboard
- Navigate to the account you want to reset
- Click the reset option
- Pay the reset fee
- Your account balance, drawdown, and trading stats reset to starting values
The reset is instant. You get a fresh evaluation with a clean slate. All your previous trades, P&L, and progress are wiped. Your account size, model type, and all the original rules stay the same.
One thing that does NOT change: your subscription renewal date. If you subscribed on March 5 and reset on March 20, your next billing cycle still starts on April 5. The reset is a separate transaction on top of your regular subscription.
How Much Does a FundedSeat Account Reset Cost?
As of April 2026, FundedSeat account reset fees range from $65 to $160 depending on your account size and model.
| Account Size / Model | Reset Fee |
|---|---|
| Smaller accounts (25K-50K) | $65-$100 |
| Mid-size accounts (100K) | $100-$130 |
| Larger accounts (150K) | $130-$160 |
The exact fee depends on your specific model and account tier. Check your dashboard for the precise amount before resetting. FundedSeat may adjust these prices, so the numbers above reflect April 2026 ranges.
The reset fee is a one-time charge per reset. You can reset multiple times during a single billing cycle if needed, paying the fee each time. There's no limit on the number of resets you can do during evaluation.
When Is a Reset Available (and When Is It Not)?
The most important thing to understand: FundedSeat resets are only available during the evaluation phase. Once you pass and receive a funded account, resets are no longer an option.
Available during:
- Active evaluation phase (any model with an eval component)
- If you breached your drawdown during evaluation
- If you violated a rule during evaluation
- If you're still evaluating but want to start fresh
NOT available:
- After you've passed and received funded status
- On instant-funded accounts (Bolt, Direct, Edge Payouts) since there's no evaluation to reset
- If your subscription has lapsed
That last point matters. Instant-funded accounts don't have evaluations, so the reset concept doesn't apply. If you breach an instant-funded account, you'd need to buy a new subscription.
Does a Reset Change Your Renewal Date?
No. A FundedSeat account reset does not change your billing renewal date. This is a critical detail.
Your monthly subscription runs on a fixed billing cycle from the day you originally purchased. If you bought on March 10, you renew on April 10, May 10, and so on. A reset on March 25 doesn't move your renewal to April 25. It stays at April 10.
This means a reset near the end of your billing cycle gives you less calendar time to pass the evaluation before your next renewal charge hits. If you breach on day 25 of a 30-day cycle and reset, you only have 5 days before paying the full monthly subscription again.
Timing matters.
When Should You Reset vs. Buy a New Account?
The reset vs. new account decision comes down to math and timing.
Reset makes sense when:
- You breached early in your billing cycle (lots of time remaining)
- The reset fee is significantly less than the monthly subscription price
- Discounts aren't currently available on new accounts
- You want to keep the same model and account size
Buying new makes sense when:
- You breached late in your billing cycle (renewal is coming anyway)
- FundedSeat is running a sale or discount (common around holidays and weekends)
- You want to switch to a different model or account size
- The reset fee plus remaining days don't justify the cost
A concrete example. You have a 50K 1-Step Daily at $69.95/month. You breach on day 22. Reset fee: roughly $80. Your renewal is in 8 days.
Option A: Reset for $80, trade for 8 days, then pay $69.95 renewal. Total: $149.95.
Option B: Let the subscription lapse, buy a new account at $69.95 (or less with a discount code). Total: $69.95.
Option B is clearly cheaper. The reset only makes financial sense if you breach early enough to get meaningful trading time before the next renewal.
How Do Resets Interact With the Billing Cycle?
FundedSeat's billing and resets operate on separate tracks. Here's how they interact:
Your subscription auto-renews monthly. Whether or not you've reset, breached, or passed has no effect on the billing cycle. If you're in the middle of a fresh evaluation (post-reset), you still get charged the monthly fee when renewal hits.
If you let the account expire (cancel subscription), you lose the account entirely. No option to reset a canceled account. If you want to try again, you'd purchase a brand new subscription.
Multiple resets in one cycle stack their costs. If you breach, reset ($80), breach again, and reset again ($80), you've spent $160 in reset fees on top of your monthly subscription. With some models, that total exceeds what a new account would cost.
This is where traders burn money without thinking. Two resets at $80 each = $160. A new 50K 1-Step Daily subscription = $69.95. Three resets in a cycle and you've paid more in resets than the account itself costs.
Can You Reset an Instant-Funded Account?
No. FundedSeat does not offer resets on instant-funded accounts (Bolt, Direct, Edge Payouts). These accounts skip the evaluation entirely, so there's no evaluation phase to reset.
If you breach an instant-funded account, your only option is to purchase a new subscription. The account is gone. Your trading history, profit, and balance are lost.
This is one of the hidden risks of instant-funded models. On an evaluation account, a breach costs you $65-$160 to reset. On an instant-funded account, a breach costs you $199.95-$374.95 for a brand new subscription. The recovery cost is 2-5x higher.
Can You Reset a Funded Account After Passing the Evaluation?
No. Once you've passed FundedSeat's evaluation and received a funded account, the reset option disappears. If you breach your funded account, the account is terminated.
There's no way to reset a funded account back to funded status. If you want to try again, you'd need to purchase a new evaluation subscription and pass again from scratch.
This is standard across most prop firms. The evaluation is the test; the funded account is the reward. Resetting only applies to the test phase.
Tips for Making the Most of FundedSeat Resets
If you're going to use resets, be strategic about it.
Track your billing cycle. Know exactly when your renewal date is so you can calculate whether a reset gives you enough time. Resetting with 3 days until renewal is almost never worth it.
Set a reset budget. Decide before you start how many resets you're willing to pay for in a single billing cycle. Two is reasonable. Three or more and you should question whether the model is right for your current skill level.
Consider the monthly subscription cost. On expensive models, the reset fee represents a smaller percentage of total cost. On the cheapest models, the reset can be more than the subscription itself. At that point, a new account (especially during a sale) is smarter.
Don't reset on tilt. If you breached because of a bad day and your immediate reaction is to reset and trade again, stop. Take a day. Review what went wrong. Resetting and immediately making the same mistakes is the most expensive habit in prop trading.
The Bottom Line on FundedSeat Account Resets
The bottom line: FundedSeat account resets are a useful tool during evaluation, costing $65-$160 to start fresh without losing your subscription. But they're only available during evaluation, never after funding, and they don't push back your renewal date. The decision to reset should be driven by timing: reset early in your billing cycle, buy new late in your cycle. And if you're resetting more than twice per month, the account model or your trading approach needs to change before you spend more money on resets.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a FundedSeat account reset cost?
FundedSeat account resets cost between $65 and $160 depending on account size and model. Smaller accounts (25K-50K) are at the lower end, while larger accounts (150K) cost up to $160. Check your FundedSeat dashboard for the exact fee for your specific account.
Can you reset a funded FundedSeat account?
No. FundedSeat only allows resets during the evaluation phase. Once you pass and receive a funded account, resets are no longer available. If you breach a funded account, you need to purchase a new evaluation subscription and pass again.
Does a FundedSeat reset change your renewal date?
No. A FundedSeat account reset does not change your billing renewal date. Your monthly subscription continues on the same cycle regardless of when you reset. A reset is a separate one-time charge on top of your regular subscription.
Can you reset a FundedSeat instant-funded account?
No. FundedSeat does not offer resets on instant-funded accounts (Bolt, Direct, Edge Payouts) because these accounts have no evaluation phase. If you breach an instant-funded account, you must purchase a new subscription.
How many times can you reset a FundedSeat account?
FundedSeat does not limit the number of resets during a single billing cycle. You can reset as many times as needed, paying the reset fee each time. However, multiple resets can quickly exceed the cost of purchasing a new account.
Is it cheaper to reset or buy a new FundedSeat account?
It depends on timing. A FundedSeat reset is cheaper if you breach early in your billing cycle and have weeks of trading time remaining. Buying a new account is cheaper if you breach late in the cycle, since renewal is coming anyway, especially if FundedSeat is running a discount on new purchases.
How do you trigger a reset on FundedSeat?
FundedSeat account resets are done directly through your dashboard. Log in, navigate to the account you want to reset, select the reset option, and pay the fee. No support ticket or email is required. The reset is processed instantly.
What happens to your trading data after a FundedSeat reset?
All trading data is wiped after a FundedSeat account reset. Your balance, drawdown level, trade history, and profit/loss all reset to starting values. The account size, model type, and subscription terms remain the same.
Should you reset if you're close to your FundedSeat renewal date?
Generally no. If your FundedSeat renewal date is within a few days, resetting gives you very little time to trade before the next monthly charge. Letting the subscription renew naturally or buying a new account (potentially at a discount) is usually more cost-effective.
Can you reset a FundedSeat account after violating a rule?
Yes. FundedSeat allows resets after rule violations during the evaluation phase, including drawdown breaches and consistency rule violations. The reset clears the violation and gives you a fresh start with all rules reset to their original values.
