Halcyon Trader Funding Account Flow Guide


1. Evaluation Account (Start Here at an Affordable Rate)

Goal: Prove you can trade, execute, and meet the profit target.

Requirements:

  • Minimum of 1 trading day to pass.

  • No minimum time restriction if the trader hits the profit target in a single day.

Upgrade:

  • Instant, same-day upgrade to a Funded Account upon meeting all evaluation criteria.

  • No waiting period and no excessive delays like other firms.

Pass. Upgrade. Trade. Earn. ALL in ONE DAY.

✅ No Fee to Upgrade


2. Funded Account (Start Here If You Are A Serious Trader) 

Purpose: Build your first reward and unlock the ability for increased margin.

Requirements:

  • 5 trading days minimum

  • Must reach the Funded Account profit target

What Makes Us Different:

Unlike other firms that trap your profits behind a so-called “buffer,” Halcyon allows you to withdraw from your earned profits—even inside the buffer.

Other firms advertise “1-step” or “2-step” accounts, but still restrict your withdrawals until you reach an invisible secondary milestone.

With us, your money is actually your money.

Stop earning thousands in profits you can never touch at other firms — money they keep locked up behind rules they disguise as a "buffer."


3. Simulated Brokerage Account

Trading Period:

  • Trade for 10 active trading days to qualify for your first reward payout

  • Subsequent rewards become available every 10 trading days after that

Withdrawal Access:

  • Rewards can be requested and withdrawn even before hitting a larger profit cap or second milestone

  • No artificial delays or blocked payouts once conditions are met

  • No hard-earned profits “locked up” behind hidden buffer rules


Key Advantages:

✅ Withdrawals allowed inside the profit "buffer"
True instant upgrades
No hidden second phases disguised as step-2 accounts
Transparent, fair, and trader-first structure
