 Real capital. Real markets. The Live Funded Account® (LFA) is the big leagues — Topstep's money behind you, no Payout caps, and unlimited growth potential. When the call-up comes, all Express Funded Accounts (XFA) close. This is what you've been working toward.
 Live Account Size
 Your LFA size is based on the average of all active, eligible XFAs with at least 1 Payout. If you haven't requested any Payouts yet, all XFAs are averaged together. The average is rounded up to the nearest tier ($50K, $100K, or $150K).
 Example: Four 50K XFAs + one 150K XFA = 70K average → rounds up to $100K LFA.
 Starting Balance and Reserve
 At Live activation:
 - 20% of combined XFA balances is available for trading immediately
 - Minimum starting balance: $10,000 (Topstep supplements from Reserve if needed)
 - 80% held in Reserve — unlocked in 4 increments as you hit profit thresholds
 - Each threshold = 25% of Reserve released
 Example: $75K combined profit → $15K to trade, $60K in Reserve.
 Starting balance is capped at your account size. Can't transfer more than $100K into a $100K LFA. The excess is forfeited.
 👉 Heads up: all Express Funded Accounts are averaged together, so new Topstep Labs accounts may affect your account size.
 Capital Expansion — Unlocking Your Reserve

 Real capital. Real markets. The Live Funded Account® (LFA) is the big leagues — Topstep's money behind you, no Payout caps, and unlimited growth potential. When the call-up comes, all Express Funded Accounts (XFA) close. This is what you've been working toward.
 Live Account Size
 Your LFA size is based on the average account size (the funded tier of each XFA — $50K, $100K, or $150K — not the current balance) of all active, eligible XFAs with at least 1 Payout. If you haven't requested any Payouts yet, all XFAs are averaged together. The average is rounded up to the nearest tier ($50K, $100K, or $150K).
 Example: Four 50K XFAs + one 150K XFA = 70K average → rounds up to $100K LFA.
 Starting Balance and Reserve
 Two numbers set your Live starting balance:
 - Account Size — the average of your eligible XFAs, rounded up to the nearest tier. This is a hard cap ($50K, $100K, or $150K)
 - Cumulative balance — the actual balances in those XFAs, added together. Remember: what transfers is capped at the account size.
 What transfers then splits:
 - 20% available to trade immediately — minimum $10,000
 - 80% held in Reserve — released in 4 increments of 25% as you hit profit thresholds
 Example: Four $50K XFAs holding $25K each. Account Size = $50K. Cumulative balance was $100K, so $50K is forfeited. → $10K to trade, $40K in Reserve.
 👉 Heads up: all Express Funded Accounts are averaged together, so new Topstep Labs accounts may affect your account size.
 Capital Expansion — Unlocking Your Reserve

 No. The consistency percentage is not calculated based on your account size or account balance. It is calculated based on your profits.
 For example, if you have a $100K account, the 40% rule does not mean you are capped at making 40% of the account size ($40,000) in a single day
 It means your best trading day cannot represent more than 40% of the total profits you are trying to withdraw or use for scale-up eligibility.
 Quick example
 If your account has a 40% Consistency Rule:
 - Best trading day: $5,000
 - Required total profit: $12,500
 - Because: $5,000 ÷ 40% = $12,500
 If your total profit is below $12,500, you need to continue trading until your total profit reaches the required amount.

 Quick example
 If your account has a 50% Consistency Rule:

 (Because: $5,000 ÷ 50% = $10,000)
 If your total profit is below $10,000, you need to continue trading until your total profit reaches the required amount.
