How live-account progression works

When funded performance leads to a live-account review and what still requires approval.

Prime, Scale and BoxcarFunded

These plans reach live-account review after five approved payouts. The review considers account history, rule compliance and trading performance. Reaching five payouts does not automatically activate a live account.

BoxcarPayout is performance-based

BoxcarPayout does not use a fixed payout count. Reaching the single-day profit threshold below triggers a live-account review. Significant lifetime payouts or other performance may also prompt a review.

The live account structure

An approved transition provides one live account for each eligible funded account that has received at least one payout. Live accounts start with a $0 balance, EOD drawdown and no Daily Loss Limit. The simulated headline balance does not become cash in the live account.

Live payouts and loss limits

Live payout requests can be made daily when the account is eligible. The loss floor trails at the end of the day and locks at $100 once live profit reaches the starting drawdown, or when an earlier payout is requested.

Live position sizing follows an exchange-specific scaling schedule. Confirm the enabled limit for the account and product before placing an order; do not carry over a simulated position limit.

What happens to your other accounts

Moving live closes the simulated accounts. Accounts with no payouts are refunded as part of that transition. While a household member is live, the household cannot continue trading simulated accounts.

The standard cooldown after losing live access through a breach is two weeks. Wait for Boxcar to confirm the next step before purchasing or trading another account.

Before you trade live

Wait for direct confirmation from Boxcar. A live account has its own access details and terms; do not assume simulated-account credentials, balances, trading hours or limits carry over.

Contact support if you believe your account is ready for review or need an update on a review already in progress.
