Transitioning to a Live Brokerage account is a major step forward, and understanding how risk is managed is key to protecting your funded status.
Risk management in Live Brokerage features an End of Day (EOD) trailing drawdown model and specific withdrawal buffer rules. Let's break down exactly how your trailing drawdown floor moves and how to structure your payouts safely. 👇
🔄 How the End of Day (EOD) Trailing Drawdown Works
Your risk limit in Live Brokerage is tracked using an EOD trailing drawdown level. This means your drawdown floor updates dynamically based only on your account balance at the close of the trading day.
🛑 At What Point Does the Trailing Drawdown Stop?
The drawdown trails your closed daily profit upward dollar-for-dollar until your account balance closes the day in profit at or above the level of your initial drawdown limit. Once your lifetime net profit equals your starting drawdown threshold, the trailing drawdown permanently locks at $0 (your initial starting balance base).
Here is how this rule applies across all our account tiers based on our designated live specifications:
- 50K Live Brokerage Account (Drawdown Limit: $2,000): Your drawdown trails until you make $2,000 in net profit. At that point, your trailing drawdown stops and locks permanently at $0.
Section: 🛑 At What Point Does the Trailing Drawdown Stop?
− - 100K Live Brokerage Account (Drawdown Limit: $2,500): Your drawdown trails until you make $3,000 in net profit. At that point, your trailing drawdown stops and locks permanently at $0.
+ - 100K Live Brokerage Account (Drawdown Limit: $3,000): Your drawdown trails until you make $3,000 in net profit. At that point, your trailing drawdown stops and locks permanently at $0.
- 150K Live Brokerage Account (Drawdown Limit: $4,500): Your drawdown trails until you make $4,500 in net profit. At that point, your trailing drawdown stops and locks permanently at $0.
- 200K Live Brokerage Account (Drawdown Limit: $3,000): Your drawdown trails until you make $3,000 in net profit. At that point, your trailing drawdown stops and locks permanently at $0.
🎮 Sim Funded Account (SFA) Drawdown Levels
Just like the Live Brokerage phase, your risk parameters during the Sim Funded stage are also monitored using an End of Day (EOD) trailing drawdown model to help you practice professional execution habits before moving to live contract rules.
The drawdown limits for your Sim Funded Account track as follows:
- 50K SFA Account ➡️ Drawdown Limit: $2,000
- 100K SFA Account ➡️ Drawdown Limit: $3,000
- 150K SFA Account ➡️ Drawdown Limit: $4,500
- 200K SFA Account ➡️ Drawdown Limit: $3,000
💸 Live Payout Minimums & The Essential $100 Safety Buffer
When you are ready to withdraw your live performance profits, there are two crucial operational rules to keep in mind:
- Minimum Payout Request: The absolute minimum amount allowed for any single live brokerage payout request is $250.

🎮 Sim Funded Account (SFA) Drawdown Levels

The drawdown limits for your Sim Funded Account track as follows:
- 50K SFA Account ➡️ Drawdown Limit: $2,000
- 100K SFA Account ➡️ Drawdown Limit: $3,000
- 150K SFA Account ➡️ Drawdown Limit: $4,500
- 200K SFA Account ➡️ Drawdown Limit: $3,000
💸 Live Payout Minimums & The Essential $100 Safety Buffer
When you are ready to withdraw your live performance profits, there are two crucial operational rules to keep in mind:
- Minimum Payout Request: The absolute minimum amount allowed for any single live brokerage payout request is $250.
- The $100 Account Balance Minimum: Requesting a payout in Live Brokerage automatically sets your account's required minimum balance to $100.
⚠️ Strategic Recommendation
Because taking a withdrawal leaves your hard account floor with a mandatory minimum static balance requirement of $100, we strongly recommend ensuring you grow a healthy, sufficient amount of profit buffer above your drawdown floor before submitting a payout request. Give your account breathing room so you can continue executing your strategy comfortably! 🛸
