What's the starting balance of my live account?
Your live account starts at a $0 balance, with the trading capital fully provided by GFF. The size of your live account is based on your eligible sim accounts at transition — summed together, capped at 150K, GFF's largest live tier. Everything you earn above $0 is yours to withdraw, subject only to the minimum payout amount.
What are the contract limits on my live account?
Live accounts have their own contract limits, calibrated to your live drawdown rather than inherited from your sim plan. For now these are flat — no scaling, no tiers to track.
25K Live: 1 mini / 10 micros
50K Live: 2 minis / 20 micros
75K Live: 3 minis / 30 micros
100K Live: 3 minis / 30 micros
150K Live: 5 minis / 50 micros
What's the drawdown on my live account?
Your live account uses a static drawdown — a fixed loss limit that stays the same throughout the life of the account. You can lose up to the drawdown amount from your starting balance before your account is breached, and that buffer never closes in as your profits grow.
Static drawdown by account size:
25K: $1,000
50K: $2,000
75K: $3,000 (Instant Funded only)
100K: $3,000
150K: $4,500
Unlike the trailing drawdown on your challenge, the live floor does not move as you scale — every dollar of profit you make above your starting balance becomes additional cushion on top of your drawdown buffer. Your room to trade through normal swings grows alongside your account.
Is there a Daily Loss Limit (DLL) on live?
No — live accounts come with no Daily Loss Limit by default, giving you more room to trade your edge. If you would like one as a personal discipline tool, the risk team is happy to set it up on request.
Is there a consistency rule on live?
No — there is no consistency rule on live. You have already proven your consistency to get here, so live gives you the freedom to trade without it.
What's the profit split on my live account?
90/10 — you keep 90%, from the very first dollar of profit.
The 100% first-$10,000 bonus on sim products (EOD, Sprint, Instant Funded) is specific to sim and does not carry into live; your live account simply starts fresh, with every dollar split 90/10 from the start. On live, that 90% comes with no payout caps and daily withdrawals, so your earning potential is uncapped.
Can I scale my account size on live?
Not at launch yet — but a scaling plan is something we are actively exploring to reward sustained live performance down the line.
Are the trading rules the same as sim?
Largely, yes — which keeps things familiar. The news-trading buffer (two minutes around high-impact events) and the no overnight/weekend holding rule carry over from sim, and maximum contract sizes follow your sim plan unless your live account terms say otherwise.
