Top One Futures Path To Trading Live
✅ Clear Path to Live
✅ Daily Payouts
✅ No Maximum Withdrawal Limits
✅ Consistency Rule Removed
The following outlines your path to becoming a live trader without any need to risk your own personal funds.
Transitioning to Live
After 3 successful payouts from one account, a risk manager will review your account and either:
Keep you in the Sim Funded environment for further review
Transition you to a Live Account
Note: Top One Futures may transition you to a Live Account sooner than your third payout.
When transitioning to Live, Trader will start with a maximum of one (1) Live Account. If you have any other accounts, they will be closed.
How Do We Move Funds to Live?
Your Sim profits (after your third payout) up to a maximum of 10% of your starting sim balance will be carried over to your Live Account.
Please note only one account will move over to live, so only the highest profit on one account will be carried over, if you have 3 $100k accounts and each have $5k in profits, you'll be given a $5k live account.
Examples:
Trader has one $100K Sim Funded Account with a balance of $109,000 after their 3rd payout. ($9,000 in profit)
$9,000 will be moved to live as their starting balance.
Trader has three $150K Sim Funded Accounts ($450K total) with each account sitting at $160k ($10,000 in profit).
$10,000 will be moved to live as the traders starting balance.

Frequently Asked Questions
If I get selected to move to live, can I choose to stay in Sim Funding?
No. If you are selected to move to live, your options are to begin trading live or to close your Sim Funded account. You may not voluntarily close your live account and move back to Sim. Sim trading should be seen as a gateway to trading live, having your consistency rule removed, receiving unlimited payouts, and scaling your capital. Any attempts to intentionally breach accounts to remain in Sim is strictly prohibited and may result in having trading privileges revoked.
What are the Benefits of trading a Live Account versus Sim?
If you are selected to move to trading live, you have the ability to earn an unlimited income with no withdrawal limits as a professional trader. Not only will your consistency rule be removed, you’ll have the ability to withdraw profits every 24 hours.
How long does it take to receive my live account?
Once you’ve been approved to move to live, your live account will be set up within 3-5 business days.
Can I withdraw from my starting balance?
No. Withdrawals are available from profits created on top of your starting balance.
