Transition to Live:

What happens after I complete 3 payouts from the same Pro Account?

Once you complete 3 payouts from the same Pro Account, DayTraders will assess your account and choose one of the following options:

  • Keep your Pro account in the Sim-Funded phase with no changes, allowing you to continue receiving payouts capped at the maximum for your account size.

  • Transition you to a Live Funded Account. DayTraders will reassess your account after each subsequent payout on the same account.

Can I have a live account before reaching 3 payouts?

  • Yes, DayTraders continuously evaluates your Pro account trading performance. Some traders may receive a live account offer before achieving 3 payouts, based on individual performance.

What happens if my country does not allow me to trade live funds?

  • If you are offered a live account but your country restricts live trading, your Risk Manager will discuss alternative options with you.

How is the minimum balance calculated for a live account if I have a single Pro Account?

The minimum balance for a live account is determined using the following formula: (Pro Account Drawdown) + (Margin Requirements * Contracts)

However, the live account allocation is not strictly limited to this calculation. Your Risk Manager may allocate a different amount based on your risk profile.

Example: If you are trading a $50k account and are allocated a starting contract limit of (3 Minis / 30 Micros), the calculation would be ($2500 + $3600) = $6100. The total drawdown will be $2500, as it was in your Pro account, but it will be a Static drawdown.

What if I have multiple Pro Accounts?

If you have multiple Pro Accounts, Risk Managers will evaluate each simulated funded account independently to determine whether:

  • To merge them into a single Live Account, or

  • Retain certain accounts in the simulated environment.

Example: If you have 3 Pro Accounts and one of them reaches its third payout while the others have not, Risk Managers will assess your overall performance and decide accordingly.
