๐Ÿ”ข How many Live Funded Accounts can I have?

You can only have one active Live Funded Account at any time.

๐Ÿ“ How is my Live Funded Account size determined?

Your Live Account size is based on the average size of your active Funded Sim Accounts that have at least one payout.

The average is rounded up to the nearest tier:

50K 100K 150K
Example

4 ร— 50K + 1 ร— 150K โ†’ average = 70K โ†’ Live = 100K tier.

๐Ÿ’ฐ How is my Live starting balance calculated?

Your starting balance comes from the total combined profit of your eligible Funded Sim Accounts.

At Live activation:

20%
80%
Tradable balance Reserve
  • 20% becomes immediately available for trading.
  • 80% goes into your Reserve and is unlocked progressively.
Example โ€” $75K total profit
Tradable

20% of total profit
Reserve
$60K
80% of total profit

๐Ÿ”“ How do I unlock my Reserve funds?

Every time you reach the profit target for your Live tier, you unlock another 20% of your Reserve.

50K Live Tier $3,000 target
100K Live Tier $6,000 target
150K Live Tier $9,000 target

๐Ÿ“‰ What is the Daily Loss Limit in Live?

The Live Daily Loss Limit depends on the Live Account size:

50K $2,000 DLL
100K $3,000 DLL
150K $4,500 DLL
!

If your balance drops to $10,000 or less, the Daily Loss Limit becomes $2,000 for all tiers.

๐Ÿ’ธ Can I take payouts before unlocking my full Reserve?

Yes

Payouts depend only on your unlocked balance, not your Reserve.

๐Ÿฆ Is Live trading capital my money?

No

It is Tradentryโ€™s proprietary capital, provided as you demonstrate consistency.

It becomes withdrawable only when you meet payout requirements.

๐Ÿšซ Can one large trade unlock multiple Reserve tiers at once?

No

Reserve unlocks require net profit since the last unlock and are reviewed weekly.

๐Ÿข What if my performance slows?

Nothing changes. Your available capital stays the same until performance improves.

There is no penalty for slow progress.

โš ๏ธ Can Reserve unlocks be delayed or denied?

Yes

If you trade with excessive or reckless risk, the Risk Team may postpone or deny an unlock.

๐Ÿ“ฆ What if my Funded Sim Account grows beyond the Live cap?

Any amount above the Live cap does not transfer when you move to Live.

You can still:

  • continue trading
  • continue withdrawing
  • be reviewed for Live promotion

๐Ÿ”— Do payouts affect Reserve unlock progression?

No

Only trading P&L affects unlock calculations.

๐Ÿ† How much can I withdraw in Live?

After 30 winning Live days, you may withdraw up to 100% of your unlocked balance.

๐Ÿ’ฅ What if I lose my 20% starting balance?

If your Live balance falls below $0:

  • the account is immediately liquidated
  • your remaining Reserve is forfeited

๐Ÿ” Am I guaranteed to return to Live after 5 payouts?

No

5 payouts is only a general benchmark.

The final decision depends entirely on your overall trading behavior and risk profile.
