Traders with Pro Accounts or S2F accounts may be invited to a live account at the firm's discretion. There's no fixed milestone: performance, consistency and rule-following are reviewed continuously, and about 1% of simulated funded traders are currently moved to live.
Your live account
A Risk Manager sets your live account's parameters with you, including the starting balance. Invited accounts most likely use an EOD or static drawdown. If you're in a restricted country, the Risk Manager will discuss your options.
Payouts when you're called to live
If you're called to live when you request a payout, all payout requests you submit that day are added together. For example, five $2,000 requests count as $10,000.
$10,000 or more: half is paid to your Payout Method and half becomes your live account's max drawdown.
Less than $10,000: take 100% of the payout plus free S2L evaluations (usually matched 1:1 in size, up to 5 Core or 3 Edge/Ultra), or put $1,000–$10,000 toward live as your max drawdown and receive the rest.
Scaling is discussed with the Risk Team.
Your other accounts
Once you're live, your simulated accounts are closed. Excess simulated balances are generally forfeited, but they may be used as performance rewards in live, subject to the Risk Team's discretion. If you are not comfortable with this, do not build large excess simulated balances.
Any Pro accounts that have not received a payout and are in good standing will be refunded along with their respective evaluations.
