Live Brokerage Accounts

Account Setup and Transition

Halcyon Trader Funding reserves the right to transition eligible traders into a Live Brokerage Account based on performance, risk management, consistency, and overall readiness for live brokerage account trading.

Traders may become eligible for live brokerage account review after reaching defined transition milestones within the Halcyon ecosystem. While these milestones may trigger a review, all live brokerage account approvals, allocation sizes, and transition decisions remain at the sole discretion of Halcyon Trader Funding.

Live Account Structure

When approved for live brokerage account trading, a trader will receive a Live Brokerage Account funded with company capital.

The starting balance of the live account is generally based on the maximum drawdown associated with the Reward Account that qualified the trader for the transition.

For example:

  • A trader transitioning from a Reward Account with a $2,500 drawdown may receive a live account with a starting balance of approximately $2,500.
  • A trader transitioning from a Reward Account with a $4,500 drawdown may receive a live account with a starting balance of approximately $4,500.

Final starting balance remains subject to internal review and approval.

Important Information

Live Brokerage Accounts are separate from simulated trading accounts.

  • Simulated profits do not transfer into a Live Brokerage Account.
  • Simulated account balances do not transfer into a Live Brokerage Account.
  • Previous rewards do not increase the starting balance of a Live Brokerage Account.
  • Live capital allocations are determined independently of prior simulated profits.

The capital provided within a Live Brokerage Account is company capital allocated for trading purposes and remains subject to Halcyon Trader Funding's policies and risk management requirements.

Documentation and Account Access

Before receiving access to a Live Brokerage Account, traders may be required to complete:

  • A trader agreement
  • Power of Attorney (POA) documentation, where applicable
  • Brokerage onboarding documents
  • Any additional compliance or account verification requirements

Upon completion of the onboarding process, traders will receive their live brokerage credentials and platform access. Processing times may vary based on documentation requirements, trader responsiveness, and account setup schedules.

Live Brokerage Account Decline Policy

If a trader chooses not to proceed with a Live Brokerage Account when offered, Halcyon Trader Funding will process a final payout in accordance with applicable program limits and close the associated Simulated Funded Account.

Upon completion of this process, the trader will be permanently removed from Halcyon Trader Funding systems and will no longer have access to simulated or live trading accounts.

Final payout amounts are determined based on program rules, risk parameters, and internal policies. Halcyon Trader Funding is not obligated to distribute any remaining simulated account balance beyond the approved final payout.
