Futures Prop Firm Rule Changes. Tracked Daily.
Your morning update on futures prop firm rule changes, refreshed overnight.
We track the published rules and policies of 32 futures prop firms and keep every version, so when a firm edits a rule we have the before and after in writing. Most of what changes is really nothing: a fixed typo, a clarified sentence, a word added here and there. But real changes stand out fast, and you can literally watch rules and policies tighten line by line. Payout terms creep, consistency thresholds drop, and prices quietly climb. It works the other way too: sometimes payouts improve and rules loosen, and when that happens it’s usually one of our Premier firms.
Most of the tightening shows up on the Unlisted side, firms we track but haven’t listed on PickAPropFirm.com. When a firm with a rough reputation starts gaining traction on rock-bottom prices, promoted by affiliates who would scam their own grandma for a commission, the discount usually costs you somewhere else, and that somewhere shows up here. If a plan looks too good to be true, it almost always is.
Starred changes are the ones we think deserve your attention; the full feed below is everything we caught, right down to the typo fixes.
Treat this page like your morning paper. It updates overnight, so grab your coffee and see what changed. – Jmu (@jmutrades)

We split that step out and call it the Buffer Zone. It is where you build the balance that carries into your Sim Funded account, and it is deliberately gentler than the evaluation you just passed: a smaller target and no daily loss limit.
Account size | Profit target | Drawdown | Consistency | Largest single day
25K | $1,500 | $1,200 Trailing (EOD) | 34% | $510 (34% of target)
50K | $3,000 | $2,000 Trailing (EOD) | 34% | $1,020 (34% of target)
100K | $3,500 | $2,500 Trailing (EOD) | 34% | $1,190 (34% of target)
150K | $2,000 | $-1,000 Static | 34% | $680 (34% of target)
200K | $3,000 | $-2,000 Static | 34% | $1,020 (34% of target)
300K | $3,500 | $-2,500 Static | 21% | $735 (21% of target)
And if you fail it, you reset the Buffer Zone on its own. Your evaluation still stands — you never go back to the beginning. Resets are $250 each for the first three, then $300 for resets four to six, $350 for seven to nine, and so on. If your Buffer Zone had already passed into Sim Funded, a reset is $500. These are the Propel Buffer Zone reset prices.
Phase 3 — Sim Funded
Your account is still simulated, but the profits are real and you can withdraw them. There is no profit target here — the job is to keep trading well.
Account size | Starting balance | Minimum balance | Payout minimum | 7-day payout cap
Section: Phase 3 — Sim Funded
− 25K | $1,500 | $100 | $250 | $1,500
− 50K | $3,000 | $100 | $250 | $2,500
− 100K | $3,500 | $100 | $250 | $3,000
− 150K | $2,000 | $100 | $250 | $1,500
− 200K | $3,000 | $100 | $250 | $2,500
− 300K | $3,500 | $100 | $250 | $3,000
Payouts can be requested daily, Monday to Friday, on any balance above your starting balance. Requests made before 11am ET are processed the same trading day. While Sim Funded, stop trading for the day once you are $5,000 up and for the week once you are $10,000 up — passing $10,000 in total profit triggers a review for Live Brokerage, where the caps come off entirely.
Nothing is charged during this phase. Your subscription ended at the evaluation.
How the consistency rule works
The consistency rule keeps your biggest day in proportion to the rest of your trading. We compare your largest single profitable day against the sum of your profitable days. Losing days are left out of the calculation entirely — many firms divide by your net profit instead, which shrinks the number you are measured against and makes the rule harder to satisfy.
Here is a week counted both ways. Say you made $1,000 on Monday, $900 on Tuesday, lost $600 on Wednesday, then made $900 on Thursday and $600 on Friday:
- At BluSky we add up your profitable days: $1,000 + $900 + $900 + $600 = $3,400. Your biggest day of $1,000 is 29.4% of that — inside the 34% rule. ✅
- Counting net profit instead subtracts the losing day: $3,400 − $600 = $2,800. The same $1,000 day is now 35.7% — outside the same rule. ❌
The 300K works to a 21% rule instead, so the same week would need your profit spread across more days to comply.
Being out of consistency does not fail your account. It is checked when you request a payout or try to pass a phase, and you fix it by trading on — every additional profitable day grows the total you are measured against and brings your percentage down.
Resetting a Propel evaluation
Most traders do not pass first time. A reset clears the days traded, the balance and the rules by creating a fresh evaluation account, so you can try again without buying a new plan.

1 mini = 10 micros.
Both options share the same risk logic. Option 1 uses the trailing drawdown. Option 2 uses the end-of-day drawdown together with a daily loss limit and has no scaling plan.
On both options the drawdown follows the balance upward and then stops for good once it reaches the starting balance plus $100. From that point it is a fixed floor and no longer moves.
On Option 2 the daily loss limit stays active for the whole life of the account and is never lifted. The $25,000 Option 2 account is the exception: it has no daily loss limit.

Top One Futures Path To Trading Live
✅ Clear Path to Live
✅ Daily Payouts
✅ No Maximum Withdrawal Limits
✅ Consistency Rule Removed
Section: Top One Futures Path To Trading Live
The following outlines your path to becoming a live trader without any need to risk your own personal funds.
Transitioning to Live
Section: 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 depending on your trading history.
− When transitioning to a live account, all other accounts are temporarily disabled while the risk manager evaluates the trader's performance. Trading on SIM accounts is not permitted during this review period.
− When transitioning to Live, Trader will start with a maximum of one (1) Live Account, with the ability to scale up to 5 live accounts.
How Do We Move Funds to Live?
Rather than carrying over a capped amount of sim profits as was our previous policy, traders will receive live accounts (scaling up to 5) in proportion to the account size traded in sim with the following parameters.
Live Acct Size | Starting Balance | MLL - EOD Drawdown | EOD Balance to Trigger DD Lock | Drawdown Lock | DLL | Max Contracts
$25K | $0 | $1,000 | $1,100 | $100 | None | 1
$50K | $0 | $2,000 | $2,100 | $100 | None | 3
$100K | $0 | $3,000 | $3,100 | $100 | None | 5
$150K | $0 | $4,000 | $4,100 | $100 | None | 7
− Traders will start with one (1) live account. Based on the number of qualifying sim accounts, traders will receive another live account each time the previously granted live account reaches a total of 5% in end of day profits.
Example:
− - When a $50K live account achieves at least 5% in profits ($2,500), Trader will be granted their 2nd $50K live account.
− - When the trader achieves at least 5% in profits ($2,500) on their 2nd live $50K account, Trader will be granted their 3rd $50K live account.
Live Payout Policy
- No Payout Caps - Unlimited Withdrawals
- No Consistency Rule
- No Daily Loss Limit
- Daily Payouts: Payouts are available every 24-hours after the previous payout is approved. (Minimum payout = $200)
- Profit Split: When a trader is moved to a live account, their profit split will go from 90/10 to 80/20
- Withdraw-able profits are profits created in excess of your starting balance.
What is the Pre-Live Stage and Why Does It Exist?
Based on trader behavior and breach patterns, many successful SIM traders struggle with the psychological transitioning to live trading.
To bridge that gap, we created the Pre-Live stage. An opportunity for you to continue earning sim profits with the same benefits of the live program, while making the shift to trading fully live capital.
The Pre-Live environment allows us to:
- Assess how a trader handles live-market psychology and risk management under real-time pressure with the same starting balance as their sim-account.
- Daily Payouts: Payouts are available every 24-hours after the previous payout is approved. (Minimum payout = $200)
- 80/20 Profit Splits
- Withdraw-able profits are profits created in excess of your starting balance.
What Comes Next?
Once you’ve shown profitability and discipline in Pre-Live by achieving the following milestones, you will be upgraded to a brokerage account, where real capital is deployed and you’ll begin trading under full Live conditions.
Live Account Size | Max Withdrawals | Transition to Fully Live
$25K | $2,000 | ✅
$50K | $4,000 | ✅
$100K | $8,000 | ✅
$150K | $12,000 | ✅
Breach Policy
Should the Trader breach their Pre-Live or Live account, there is a mandatory 3-week cooling off period before new sim accounts are available to be purchased and Trader may purchase and trade one sim-funded account at a time.
Section: Contract Scaling Plan (Mini/Micos)
− Contract Scaling Plan
Pre-Live Evaluation Purchase & Progression Rules
While in the Pre-Live stage, you are allowed to purchase and trade on one Evaluation account only.
However, during this stage:
- Trading is only allowed on ONE Evaluation account (no sim funded)
- No payouts can be requested from newly purchased Evaluation accounts
- Progression to a Funded account is restricted until you exit Pre-Live/Live
What Comes Next?
Once you’ve shown consistent profitability and discipline in Pre-Live, your account will be upgraded to a brokerage account, where real capital is deployed and you’ll begin trading under full Live conditions. This tiered approach allows us to responsibly allocate funds while giving traders every opportunity to prove they’re ready without disrupting your payout cycle or forcing you to “start over.”
Frequently Asked Questions
How many payouts do I need before I can go live?
For most accounts, you need 3 successful payouts.

1. No Evaluation, Instant Access
Section: 1. No Evaluation, Instant Access
− The S2F Sim PRO Program gives traders immediate access to a sim-funded account - no need to pass a challenge first. You choose your account size and can begin trading right away under real market conditions with built-in risk parameters.
2. Max Accounts
Traders can copy more accounts with the PRO program compared to our other programs.
Regularly, traders can trade up to 5 S2F Pro accounts at the same time.
Account Size | Max Accounts | Total Sim Capital
$25,000 | 5 | $125,000
$50,000 | 5 | $250,000
$100,000 | 5 | $500,000
$150,000 | 5 | $750,000
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is strictly against our policy to copy a PRO account to (or from) a regular Instant Sim Funded plan or an ELITE plan. Copying across account types is a breach of our policy and will lead to your account being breached, forfeiture of profits and denial of payout.
3. Trailing Intra-Day Drawdown (TIDD)
Risk control is central to our model. S2F Sim PRO accounts include two forms of drawdown protection - Daily Loss Limit and Max Loss Limit.
S2F Sim PRO account drawdowns are calculated on an Intra-Day trailing basis - meaning your drawdown updates throughout the day based on your highest equity balance. If your equity balance drops below the % threshold it is considered a breach.

At Top One Futures, effective risk management is the foundation of our trading programs. Our drawdown rules ensure a fair and transparent trading environment while protecting traders from excessive losses. This article explains how the Daily Drawdown and Max Trailing Drawdown operate.
− Note: The drawdown rules are the same for both Elite Challenge Accounts and Elite Sim Funded Accounts.
Max Trailing Drawdown: Based on Highest Closed Balance at EOD.
The Max Trailing Drawdown ensures you maintain a sustainable trading approach while scaling your account. Here are the details:
Definition:
The Max Trailing Drawdown is set as follows:
- $1,000 on a $25,000 account ($24,000)
- $2,000 on a $50,000 account ($48,000)
- $3,000 on a $100,000 account ($97,000)
- $4,500 on a $150,000 account ($145,500)
It adjusts dynamically based on the highest closed balance at the end of the day achieved during your trading.
How It Works:
- The drawdown level moves upward as you lock in higher profits at the end of each day.
- If your account balance decreases, the drawdown level remains fixed and does not move downward.
Breach Condition:
− If your account balance falls below the trailing drawdown level, your account is considered breached, and trading will stop. If you are trading an Elite Sim Funded Account, your account will be closed. If you are trading an Elite Challenge account, your account will be paused until your anniversary billing date, or you may purchase a reset prior to your anniversary date and begin trading immediately.
Example:
- $25,000 Account:
Trailing Drawdown = $1,000.
If the highest closed balance is $26,000, the trailing drawdown moves to $25,000.
If the balance drops below $25,000, the account is breached.
- $50,000 Account:
Trailing Drawdown = $2,000.
If the highest closed balance is $51,000, the trailing drawdown moves to $49,000.
If the balance drops below $49,000, the account is breached.
⚠️ Important Note on Intraday Breaches:
While the Max Trailing Drawdown is calculated based on your end-of-day balance, you cannot drop below the drawdown threshold at any time intraday. For example, on a $50,000 account with a $2,000 Max Trailing Drawdown, if your balance falls below $48,000 — even for a moment — this will trigger a breach. Recovering above the threshold later in the session does not reverse the breach. Always ensure your balance stays above the active drawdown level throughout the trading day.

What the page said before and after
Before
− At Top One Futures, we prioritize disciplined and sustainable trading practices. One of our key risk management guidelines is the Consistency Rule, set at 25% on Elite Sim Funded accounts (20% for Instant Sim Funded Accounts) that have been upgraded from challenge accounts.
− Note: There is no consistency rule in the Elite Challenge phase.
What is the Consistency Rule?
To become eligible for a payout, the Consistency Rule requires that no single trading day's profit accounts for more than 25% of your total profits. After a payout is taken on an Instant Sim Funded account, your total profits reset, and the consistency rule begins again based on new profits moving forward. This ensures that traders demonstrate steady performance rather than relying on one or two highly volatile trading sessions.
Please Note: For the purposes of consistency rule calculation, a trading day ends at 5:00pm EST.
How is the 25% Consistency Rule Calculated?
The rule is based on your total profits over the entire period of having your account. No single day’s profit should exceed 25% of the total profits. The consistency rule is calculated from the first day of trading until you receive a payout. After each payout, the consistency rule resets and you will need to maintain the same consistency % to qualify for the next payout.
For example:
- If your total profit is $10,000, then no single trading day should account for more than $2,500 (25% of $10,000).
- If one of your trading days results in a $3,000 profit while your total profits are $10,000, you wouldn’t meet the consistency rule, and would not be eligible for a payout. Once your total profits reach $12,000, you would then meet the consistency rule. (25% of $12,000 = $3,000)
Example: Passing the 25% Consistency Rule
Let’s say you’re trading a $100K account and earn the following profits:

To maintain a fair, secure, and compliant trading environment for all of our traders, we enforce strict rules regarding account registration and ownership. Please review these policies carefully before creating your profile.
The Single Account Policy
We operate under a strict one account per user policy. Every trader is permitted to have only one registered profile within our system.
Section: The Single Account Policy
− All of your activities, including purchasing evaluations, taking challenges, and managing funded accounts, must be conducted through this single, original profile.
Strictly Prohibited Actions
Section: Strictly Prohibited Actions
− To ensure the integrity of our platform, several actions are strictly forbidden. You may not register for more than one user profile under any circumstances. Creating new accounts using different email addresses to bypass rules, restart a challenge, or mask your identity is prohibited.
You must also register using your own legal identity. You cannot create an account using the name of a friend, family member, or fictitious person. Furthermore, you must be the sole individual executing trades on your account. Sharing your login credentials or allowing a third party to trade on your behalf is not allowed.
Identity Verification (KYC)
To enforce these policies, all traders must pass a Know Your Customer (KYC) identity verification process before receiving any payouts. Your registered profile name must exactly match your government issued ID. If we discover that your profile details do not match your legal identity, your account will fail the verification process.
Consequences of Policy Violations
We actively monitor our platform for duplicate accounts and proxy trading. If our system or risk management team detects a violation of our registration rules, strict actions will be taken.
All profiles and trading accounts associated with the user will be instantly breached and deactivated. Additionally, any accumulated profits or pending payouts across all connected accounts will be voided and forfeited. The user will then be permanently banned from using our services in the future.
If you have lost access to your original email address or need to update your personal information, please do not create a new account. Instead, contact our support team directly for assistance in updating your existing profile.

Before
- Copying Trades Across Different Accounts: Identical trades placed across multiple accounts under different ownership will be flagged.
- Hedging Across Multiple Accounts: Any form of hedging across multiple accounts, including accounts from other prop firms or brokers, is strictly prohibited.
Recommendations for Secure Trading:
We highly recommend that traders use a single device with a unique IP address for their trading activities to avoid any security concerns. For professional traders, utilizing a Virtual Private Server (VPS) with a static IP address can provide additional security and faster execution times. While we understand that you may trade from different devices (such as mobile or desktop) or while traveling, this may result in multiple IP addresses being associated with your account. This is generally acceptable, but in cases where you travel or relocate to another country, we may request additional verification documents for security purposes.
Clarification on VPS and VPN Usage:
At Top One Futures, we permit the use of Virtual Private Servers (VPS) with static IP addresses for trading purposes. VPS usage is often preferred by professional traders as it provides stability and faster execution times. If you choose to use a VPS, please ensure it has a static IP address and notify us in advance to avoid any issues. To enable VPS usage for your trading account, please provide the following information:
- IP Address of the VPS: This must be a static IP.
- VPS Service Invoice: The invoice should include the VPS's IP address to verify that it is a legitimate service.
- IP Registration: Ensure the VPS IP address is shared and registered with our team to avoid connection issues such as internal server errors when using specific platform features.
Important Note on VPNs:
The use of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) is not advised. VPNs allow users to switch locations, which can lead to false positives in our location-based security checks, resulting in potential account breaches. For this reason, using a VPN may trigger location violations and lead to account suspension or breaches. To avoid any issues, always use a stable and consistent IP address, such as through a VPS, and notify us of any planned changes in your trading environment, particularly if you are traveling or using a new VPS.
Violations:
Section: Violations:
− Any serious violations of this IP policy will result in a breach of your account and forfeiture of any profits. We are committed to ensuring a safe and secure trading environment and use sophisticated fraud detection technology to monitor activity. We also maintain a global IP blacklist of fraudulent users and take action against anyone using third-party services like "pass your challenge" or account management companies. Violators will be blacklisted and may face legal action.
Detailed VPS Compliance Guidelines:
- Trading from different devices (mobile, desktop)
- Using a VPS with a static IP (must notify support)
- Traveling and trading (may require verification)
- Registering your VPS IP address with our team to avoid technical issues linked to unregistered IPs.
- Providing a VPS service invoice that verifies its use for your trading setup.
Not Allowed: Using multiple IPs on the same account frequently Trading multiple accounts from the same IP Using a VPN (strictly prohibited) When is Proof of Travel Required? If you relocate or trade from a different country, we may ask for additional verification to ensure account security. Always use a stable and consistent IP to avoid issues.

Top One Futures Prohibited Trading Strategies & Platform Integrity
At Top One Futures, our mission is to build a sustainable, secure, and trustworthy trading environment for serious traders who value opportunity and integrity. We are deeply committed to maintaining the long-term viability of our firm and the safety of our trading ecosystem.
Section: Top One Futures Prohibited Trading Strategies & Platform Integrity
− To uphold these standards, we leverage advanced fraud detection technologies and robust compliance monitoring systems. Any trader found to be violating our rules or exploiting platform vulnerabilities will have their account breached and all associated profits forfeited. Any violations of these rules during the Elite Challenge Phase might result in either a retake challenge being issued or a full breach of the account, depending on the severity of the violation.
🚫 Prohibited Trading Practices
The following activities are strictly forbidden across all Top One Futures accounts, regardless of account type or stage:
1. Exploiting System, Pricing, or Latency Errors
Any attempt to take advantage of errors, delays, mispricings, or lags in the broker's feed, the charting platform, or any associated systems will result in immediate account breach. This includes latency arbitrage and price manipulation.
2. Use of Insider or Non-Public Information
Trading based on information not available to the general public, including insider news or confidential financial disclosures, is prohibited.
3. Front-Running
Placing trades with the intent to benefit from anticipated price movement based on trades executed elsewhere (e.g., in another account or at another firm) is not allowed.
4. Hedging Between Accounts
You may not hedge one account against another, whether within Top One Futures or across other prop firms or brokers. All trades must reflect independent trading strategies without cross-account hedging.
5. Unauthorized Account Access
Only the registered account owner is permitted to trade. Allowing friends, family, or third parties to access or trade on your account violates this policy.
- Adding to a trade (e.g., scaling in) within 10 seconds is permitted.
Occasional minor violations are tolerable, but if:
- anywhere close to 50% or more of your total and/or withdrawable profits
- OR, anywhere close to 50% or more of your individual trades
violate this rule, all profits associated with these trades will be removed.
Examples:
- ✅ Compliant: You open a trade and add more contracts after 5 seconds. You close everything after 15 seconds.
- ❌ Violation: You open 2 contracts, close 1 after 5 seconds, and hold the other. This is considered a violation because part of the position was closed too soon.
7. Trading That Risks Broker Relationships
Trading strategies or behaviors that may harm our broker relationships—such as abnormal flow, slippage targeting, or mass quote stuffing—are grounds for account closure.
8. Trading That May Create Regulatory Concerns
Any activity that could cause regulatory exposure for Top One Futures or our liquidity partners is not tolerated.
Section: 9. Externally Marketed Evaluation-Passing Strategies
− 9. Externally Marketed Challenge-Passing Strategies
− Using any publicly available or purchased system advertised to help traders “pass challenges” is not allowed. All strategies must be developed and executed by the trader.
10. Rolling, Churning, or Gambling Accounts
Creating multiple evaluation accounts in a short period and using a batch-style approach, such as intentionally letting most accounts fail while focusing on passing just one, is strictly prohibited. Excessive account creation within a short timeframe, especially when done repeatedly, is considered manipulative and will be flagged by our systems.
We do not support gambling behavior. This includes consistently breaching accounts within 24-48 hours of purchase and then immediately repurchasing new accounts, indicative of toxic trading strategies. Such actions are not indicative of consistency or skill but instead reflect reckless trading strategies intended to exploit asymmetric risk at scale. Traders engaging in this type of behavior are not aligned with our long-term vision and may be permanently disqualified.
Examples of disqualifiable churning behavior include:
- Purchasing multiple batch accounts and breaching newly purchased accounts within 1–2 days of trading and repeating the cycle.
- Example Day 1: Trader purchased 9 accounts, all breached within 24 hours.
- Example Day 2: Trader purchased 7 more accounts, again all breached within 24 hours.
This shows no sustainable risk management or strategy and instead indicates a trial-and-error "gambling" style of trading. Attempting to maximize short-term sim funded payout potential through unsustainable trading approaches.
11. Arbitrage with Other Firms
Attempting to gain an advantage by arbitraging trades across Top One Futures and another firm or platform is prohibited.
12. Automated Trading / Expert Advisors (EAs)
Use of any automated trading system, script, bot, Expert Advisor (EA), or high-frequency execution tool is strictly forbidden. All trades must be entered manually or semi-manually by the trader.

11. Arbitrage with Other Firms
Attempting to gain an advantage by arbitraging trades across Top One Futures and another firm or platform is prohibited.
12. Automated Trading / Expert Advisors (EAs)

− Pre-Live Challenge Purchase & Progression Rules
− While in the Pre-Live stage, you are allowed to purchase and trade on one challenge account only.
However, during this stage:
− - Trading is only allowed on ONE CHALLENGE account (no sim funded)
− - No payouts can be requested from newly purchased challenge accounts
- Progression to a Funded account is restricted until you exit Pre-Live/Live

Frequently Asked Questions
How many payouts do I need before I can go live?
For most accounts, you need 3 successful payouts.
Elite Daily accounts are the exception and require 5 successful payouts.
In some cases a trader may be transitioned to a Live Account sooner, but the numbers above are the standard requirement.
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 with the broker in 2-3 weeks.
What is the minimum withdrawal?
The minimum withdrawal amount is $200.
Can I withdraw from my starting balance?
No. Withdrawals are available from profits created on top of your starting balance.
Example: On a live account, you will start with a $0 balance. You must have a positive balance in order to withdraw.
Section: Can I purchase or continue to trade an Evaluation account or Sim Funded Account if I’m trading in a live account?
− Can I purchase or continue to trade a challenge account or Sim Funded Account if I’m trading in a live account?
No, once you are trading live, you may not purchase additional accounts unless you are in the Pre-Live stage.
− If you are in the Pre-Live stage, you may purchase and trade on one challenge account. However:
− - You will not be eligible for payouts on that challenge account
- You will not be able to upgrade to a SIM Funded account while in Pre-Live
What will happen to my Sim Funded Accounts when I'm in a live account?
If you have an active account when you transition to a Live Account, that account will be closed.
What if I lose my live account?
Should you lose your Live Account, the risk management team will determine the appropriate next steps for the trader, based on their trading activities across all accounts associated with their profile.
What are the costs in the Live Account?
There are no account or platform costs in live, but as a live trader, you are responsible for the professional market data. You will need to subscribe to receive Professional Data Subscription(s). Top One Futures does not make a profit on these data fees. Our trading platform charges us these fees that are passed along to you as the trader.

How Is It Calculated?
The Daily Loss Limit is a dynamic value calculated based on your previous day's closing balance.
Let's use an example to illustrate:
- Rule: The daily loss allowed is $625.
- Previous Day's Close: Let's say you ended the previous day with a balance of $26,000.
To find your breach level for the current day, you simply subtract the allowed loss from that balance:
$26,000 (Previous Close) - $625 (Daily Loss) = $25,375
This means that if your account's equity drops to $25,375 at any point during the current trading day, the system will automatically execute market orders to liquidate all of your open positions.

− The 1-Step Elite Challenge is designed as a traditional evaluation pathway for disciplined traders. Under this model, you must successfully reach a specific profit target while adhering to risk management rules to prove your trading skills.
− Once the profit target is reached and the Elite Challenge is passed, an activation fee is required to transition from the challenge phase to a funded environment where you then can work towards a payout.
This path is ideal for traders who are confident in their ability to pass evaluations and want to benefit from a 25% consistency rule, which is more generous than the rules found in the Instant or Ignite account models.

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
Section: Transitioning to Live
− Note: Top One Futures may transition you to a Live Account sooner than your third payout.
− When transitioning to a live account, all other accounts are temporarily disabled while the risk manager evaluates the trader's performance. Trading on SIM funded accounts is not permitted during this review period.
− 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.
What is the Pre-Live Stage and Why Does It Exist?
Section: What is the Pre-Live Stage and Why Does It Exist?
− Our goal is to fund real traders with real capital. However, based on trader behavior and breach patterns during our first batch of Live transitions, we learned that even successful SIM traders can struggle with the psychological shift of trading live.
− To bridge that gap, we created the Pre-Live stage, a critical step in your transition from Sim Funded to fully Live capital.
− Why Pre-Live Exists
The Pre-Live environment allows us to:
− - Assess how a trader handles live-market psychology and risk management under real-time pressure
- Protect firm capital from immediate exposure to high-risk behavior
- Smooth out the Live transition by evaluating traders in a realistic yet controlled setting
What Traders Gain in Pre-Live:
Section: What Traders Gain in Pre-Live:
− You’re still receiving all the benefits of Live without the full downside risk:
− Daily Payouts: Take up to 1 payout per day, starting the moment you're in profit
− No Consistency Rule: You're free to trade your strategy without profit distribution restrictions
− No Maximum Withdrawal Limits: Grow and withdraw based on your performance
− Smoother Onboarding: Your Pre-Live account is typically active within 3–5 business days (vs. up to 14-30 days under the old model)
− Better Trading Conditions: Pre-Live environments mirror SIM-funded setups, but often with slightly tighter execution and fewer platform restrictions
Pre-Live Challenge Purchase & Progression Rules
While in the Pre-Live stage, you are allowed to purchase and trade on one challenge account only.
However, during this stage:
- Trading is only allowed on ONE CHALLENGE account (no sim funded)
- No payouts can be requested from newly purchased challenge accounts
Section: Pre-Live Challenge Purchase & Progression Rules
− - Progression to a Funded account is restricted until you exit Pre-Live
What Comes Next?
Once you’ve shown consistent profitability and discipline in Pre-Live, your account will be upgraded to a brokerage account, where real capital is deployed and you’ll begin trading under full Live conditions. This tiered approach allows us to responsibly allocate funds while giving traders every opportunity to prove they’re ready without disrupting your payout cycle or forcing you to “start over.”
Section: Transitioning to Live
− 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 Pre-Live or Live Account, depending on which account we start you off on.
− 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.
− Live Payout Policy
− - Profit Split: When a trader is moved to a live account, their profit split will go from 90/10 to 80/20 and Top One Futures will re-invest their 20% share into helping you scale your capital. (see scaling plan below)
− - Daily Payouts: Payouts are available every 24-hours after the previous payout is approved. (Minimum payout = $200)
− - Profits available for payout: Withdraw-able profits are profits created in excess of your starting balance.
− Live Account Rules
− The following Live Account Rules are designed to allow you to maximize profits, while maintaining a long-term trading plan.
− - Your Daily Loss Limit is set to ensure the best interests of the trader and the firm to maximum profitability.
− - Your Max Loss Limit will be set at 60% of your account size. (Static drawdown i.e. it does not trail)
− - The consistency rule will be removed unless Trader requests to keep it in place.
− - You will have no maximum withdrawal limits
− - You may request a payout every 24 hours
− - Withdraw-able profits are profits created in excess of your starting balance.
− Scaling - Receive Bonus Capital As You Earn Profits
− Upon achieving the following withdrawal milestones, Top One Futures will re-invest their 20% profits and provide additional bonus capital to the trader towards their starting balance
− Total Profits Withdrawn | Bonus Capital Given
− $10,000 | $2,000
− $25,000 | $3,000
− $50,000 | $5,000
− $75,000 | $5,000
− $100,000 | $5,000

− $200,000 | $10,000

− When you’ve withdrawn another $15,000, or a total of $25,000 ($20K to you, $5K to Top One Futures), you will receive another $3,000 in bonus capital.
− When you’ve withdrawn another $25,000, or a total of $50,000 you will receive another $5,000 in bonus capital.
− Note: Scaling is conducted at the discretion of the Risk Management Team and must be requested by the trader to initiate the process. The account must be in good standing, and a risk assessment will be performed before approval and allocation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many payouts do I need before I can go live?
Section: How many payouts do I need before I can go live?
− For most account types, you need 3 successful payouts. This applies to Elite Challenge / Elite Sim Funded, Elite ACCESS, Instant Sim Funded, S2F Sim Pro and Ignite Instant Funding accounts.
Elite Daily accounts are the exception and require 5 successful payouts.
In some cases a trader may be transitioned to a Live Account sooner, but the numbers above are the standard requirement.
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?
Section: 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.
Section: Can I withdraw from my starting balance?
− Example: If your starting balance is $10,000, you may not withdraw from that balance. Should you grow your account to $15,000, that $5,000 in profits becomes available for payout.
Can I purchase or continue to trade a challenge account or Sim Funded Account if I’m trading in a live account?
No, once you are trading live, you may not purchase additional accounts unless you are in the Pre-Live stage.
If you are in the Pre-Live stage, you may purchase and trade on one challenge account. However:
- You will not be eligible for payouts on that challenge account
- You will not be able to upgrade to a SIM Funded account while in Pre-Live
What will happen to my Sim Funded Accounts when I'm in a live account?
If you have an active account when you transition to a Live Account, that account will be closed.
What if I lose my live account?
Should you lose your Live Account, the risk management team will determine the appropriate next steps for the trader, based on their trading activities across all accounts associated with their profile.
What are the costs in the Live Account?
There are no account or platform costs in live, but as a live trader, you are responsible for the professional market data. You will need to subscribe to receive Professional Data Subscription(s). Top One Futures does not make a profit on these data fees. Our trading platform charges us these fees that are passed along to you as the trader.
- CME Exchange - $140/mo
- NYMEX Exchange - $140/mo
- COMEX Exchange - $140/mo
- CBOT Exchange - $140/mo
(Most traders chose one exchange, but you may subscribe to multiple.)
Am I trading real capital once I go live?
Section: Am I trading real capital once I go live?
− Yes, Top One Futures does provide access to real capital, but most traders will first be placed in a live trading environment that mirrors their Sim Funded account conditions. This stage is designed to validate consistent, disciplined performance. Real capital is allocated once a trader demonstrates the ability to generate from $7000 up to a maximum of $10,000 in profit under live conditions. This helps ensure responsible capital deployment and a smoother path toward long-term funding.

+ When transitioning to Live, Trader will start with a maximum of one (1) Live Account, with the ability to scale up to 5 live accounts.
+ How Do We Move Funds to Live?
+ Rather than carrying over a capped amount of sim profits as was our previous policy, traders will receive live accounts (scaling up to 5) in proportion to the account size traded in sim with the following parameters.
+ Live Acct Size | Starting Balance | MLL - EOD Drawdown | EOD Balance to Trigger DD Lock | Drawdown Lock | DLL | Max Contracts
+ $25K | $0 | $1,000 | $1,100 | $100 | None | 1

+ $150K | $0 | $4,000 | $4,100 | $100 | None | 7
+ Traders will start with one (1) live account. Based on the number of qualifying sim accounts, traders will receive another live account each time the previously granted live account reaches a total of 5% in end of day profits.
+ Example:
+ - When a $50K live account achieves at least 5% in profits ($2,500), Trader will be granted their 2nd $50K live account.

Am I trading real capital once I go live?
Section: Am I trading real capital once I go live?
− Yes, Top One Futures does provide access to real capital, but most traders will first be placed in a live trading environment that mirrors their Sim Funded account conditions.
