Live accounts: loss floor, cushion and reserve

Every live account starts at $0 with a loss floor below it ($2,000 on a 50K).

The floor moves only at the daily close, to sit one floor-width below your best close. Intraday dips below it are safe if the day closes above.

Once it reaches $0 it stops there permanently.

If a trading day closes below the floor, the account is lost, including any cushion it holds. There is no daily loss limit.

Half the starting floor ($1,000 on a 50K). Your first profits fill it.

Profit above the cushion is withdrawable from day one.

The cushion is released after 15 profitable days, not necessarily in a row. A day counts when realised profit reaches the daily minimum ($150 on a 50K).

Withdrawals never move the floor.

Unlocks begin after 15 profitable live days and $5,000 of total live profit.

Then every extra $5,000 of profit unlocks $2,500, processed weekly.

Locked Reserve can't be withdrawn. Released Reserve can be withdrawn or used for margin.

Gambling, oversizing or reckless trading forfeits Reserve unlocks.
