How is the Live Account funded?

Each trader receives a guaranteed minimum live capital (Base Funding) determined by the funded account type they came from:

  • $25,000 account: $2,000 base
  • $50,000 account: $3,000 base
  • $100,000 account: $4,000 base
  • $150,000 account: $4,000 base
  • $300,000 account: $4,000 base

On top of this base, the trader can increase their live capital by choosing to take reduced payouts during the funded cycles. Each funded cycle has a minimum payout of $250 and a maximum payout that depends on the account type:

  • $25,000 account: $1,000 max per cycle
  • $50,000 account: $1,500 max per cycle
  • $100,000 account: $2,000 max per cycle
  • $150,000 account: $2,500 max per cycle
  • $300,000 account: $4,000 max per cycle

The difference between the maximum payout and the payout actually requested by the trader is retained as a buffer and added to the live capital. Over 3 cycles, by requesting only the minimum payout ($250) each cycle, the maximum additional live capital a trader can accumulate is:

  • $25,000 account: up to $1,984.50 additional (live capital up to $3,984.50)
  • $50,000 account: up to $3,307.50 additional (live capital up to $6,307.50)
  • $100,000 account: up to $4,630.50 additional (live capital up to $8,630.50)
  • $150,000 account: up to $5,953.50 additional (live capital up to $9,953.50)
  • $300,000 account: up to $9,922.50 additional (live capital up to $13,922.50)

Across all your funded accounts, the buffers carried into your Live account are capped at $10,000 in aggregate. The cap applies to the carried buffers only — the base funding is separate. That is why a single $300,000 account can reach $13,922.50 of live capital: $4,000 base + $9,922.50 buffer (within the $10,000 cap). See the FAQ How does the Live account work?.

Note: The buffer retained from reduced payouts is subject to the standard 90% profit share and a 2% commission deduction. The figures above reflect the net amount credited to live capital after both deductions.

The actual funding amount, the scaling plan, and the risk management parameters required to maintain the account are discussed and agreed upon directly with the administration during the account setup process. Each case is handled individually, based on the trader's track record and the outcome of the verification process.

Live Account Conditions:​

No profit target. No consistency rule. No payout cap. No time limit. Trading during news is allowed. Bi-weekly payouts on an 80/20 split.

Each Live Account is assigned a dedicated risk manager. The risk manager may provide specific directives regarding maximum position sizes depending on market conditions, as well as other risk parameters to be observed during trading. These directives are binding: continued failure to comply with the risk manager's instructions may result in the suspension and liquidation of the account.

Important: Once you move to a Live Account, all your other active challenges are deactivated and you cannot start or buy any new challenge (Instant Funded or Timed Evaluation).
