4 min. readlast update: 06.28.2026

Final Phase – Ending 7/31/2026 

Sim Brokerage Accounts may continue operating and requesting rewards pursuant to the Sim Brokerage reward policy through July 31, 2026. 

Upon the final closure date of July 31, 2026, all active and eligible Sim Brokerage Accounts will receive a final reward calculation and processing in accordance with the Sim Brokerage reward policy, regardless of the number of accrued trading days at the time of closure. 

Final reward determinations will be based exclusively on the highest fully completed and qualified reward tier achieved prior to account termination. Only fully satisfied and qualified reward tiers shall be recognized. No discretionary adjustments, partial qualifications, prorated calculations, or “closest tier” determinations will be applied. 

Following July 31, 2026, all remaining Sim Brokerage Accounts will be permanently closed and the Flagship Evaluation, Funded, and Sim Brokerage program structure will be fully discontinued. 

The firm appreciates the continued participation and support of all traders during this transition period. Additional program updates and new account structures will be announced in the future. 

 

Simulated Brokerage Accounts

Welcome to Halcyon Simulated Brokerage Accounts.

At Halcyon, we are redefining what it means to trade in a simulated brokerage environment. Unlike other firms that create barriers between traders and their rewards, we remove unnecessary obstacles.

Our goal is straightforward: to ensure that your trading efforts translate into tangible results — on your terms.

Halcyon Simulated Brokerage Accounts replicate real-world trading conditions by combining professional risk management, dynamic scaling, and transparent payout rules. Your performance drives your progress.


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.


Trading Period Requirements

  • Initial reward eligibility: Complete 8 active trading days.

  • Subsequent rewards: Eligible every 8 trading days after the first payout.

Consistent trading is rewarded without long delays.


Reward Access

  • No Profit Lock-Up: Rewards are accessible immediately after completing the required trading days.

  • No Buffer Blocks: Profits are not trapped behind arbitrary restrictions.

Your hard work is always recognized and rewarded.
