Key Features of Halcyon Simulated Brokerage Accounts
No Milestone Traps
Many competitors delay reward access until traders reach hidden or arbitrary targets. At Halcyon, once you meet the required trading days, your earned rewards are immediately accessible.
Static Loss Limit
Each Halcyon Sim Brokerage Account has a minimum account balance of $200. If your account falls below this level, it is considered failed. This fixed limit provides a clear risk boundary, free from hidden adjustments or confusing rules.
Account Structure and Logic
Starting Balance Aligns with Funded Account Profit Target
Your Sim Brokerage Account begins with a starting balance equal to the profit target of the corresponding funded account.
Example:
-
Funded Account Balance: $150,000
-
Funded Account Profit Target: $8,000
-
Sim Brokerage Account Starting Balance: $8,000
This alignment helps you understand the relationship between profit, drawdown, and buying power before transitioning to live capital.
Dynamic Account Scaling: Drawdown & Buying Power
Your account value evolves with your trading performance:
-
Profits increase buying power and drawdown capacity.
-
Losses reduce buying power and available drawdown.
This dynamic system mirrors a professional brokerage account, rewarding skill and consistency.
Buying Power Calculation:
-
$1,000 per mini contract
-
$100 per micro contract
Your account equity determines available margin, ensuring your position size scales responsibly, just like in a professional trading environment.
Static Loss Limit Example:
-
Starting Balance: $8,000
-
Minimum Account Value: $200
-
Total Available Drawdown: $7,800
If your account value reaches $200, the account is closed. This promotes accountability and encourages disciplined risk management.

-
Initial reward eligibility: Complete 10 active trading days.
