What are the Rules for TradeShield SIM Funded Accounts?

Congratulations on passing and welcome to Stage 2

You will now be contacted by our KYC/AML provider to complete the verification process.

After KYC/AML verification and activation, you can begin trading in your TradeShield SIM Funded Account(s).  Remember the max amount of TradeShield SIM Funded Accounts you can have at any one time is MAX of three (3).

You can DCA (Dollar Cost Average).

You can trade the News.

Microscalping Guidelines in SIM Funded:

• Microscalping involves taking quick trades, usually lasting just a few seconds, to capture small price movements (a few ticks or points).
  
  

• While this approach can be part of a strategy, trades closed in under 6 seconds are difficult to monitor or copy accurately.
  
  

• To keep things fair and consistent:
  
  

• At least 50% of your total account profit must come from trades held for longer than 6 seconds.
  
  
• You will not fail, and you will not forfeit your payouts if you do not meet the Microscalping guideline, you will just be delayed in receiving your payout until 50% or more of your profits are held longer than 6 seconds or more.  

Make sure to follow your Drawdown Type that you selected upon signing up Intraday, EOD (End of Day), or Static. 

REMEMBER:  Always check your available drawdown amount on your trading platform.   (Click Here to Watch Video)

Whichever drawdown account type you purchased for your evaluation plan (Intraday, EOD, or Static) that will be the same drawdown type you will have in your TradeShield SIM Funded Account.

• $50K   - $2,000 Intraday Trailing Max Drawdown

Profit Split Structure

You are eligible to receive 90% of all generated profits on your TradeShield SIM Funded Accounts based on the payout tiers for that particular account.

Account Eligibility Limit

Each trader may operate up to three (3) Active TradeShield SIM Funded Accounts across any combination of our plans.  

Withdrawal Policy Overview
All payout requests must follow the terms outlined in the TradeShield SIM Funded Trader Agreement.

If you're trading multiple TradeShield SIM Funded Accounts, each account is reviewed on its own.

You're free to request payouts from any account, so long as that specific account meets all payout objectives.

Note: Once a payout has been submitted, it is final and cannot be changed or revoked.

What’s Required to Qualify for a Payout

Follow the Four (4) Objectives Below:

Before your withdrawal can be approved, the following objectives must be met on the account you're withdrawing from:

1. Consistency Rule Compliance

The 30% Consistency Rule must be followed.
(See: Consistency Rule breakdown)

2.  Minimum Trading Days:

A minimum of 10 trading days is required between payouts.  This also applies before your first withdrawal.  A trading day counts when at least one trade is executed between 6:00PM EST and 5:00PM EST the following day.

After each approved payout, your minimum trading days count resets back to zero.

3.  Five (5) Day Profit Minimums Required:

At least 5 of your trading days must exceed these profit minimums:

• $200+ for a $50K Account
• $250+ for a $100K Account
• $300+ for a $150K Account

After each approved payout, your 5 trading day profit minimum resets back to zero.

4. Balance Above Buffer:

You must achieve a minimum buffer value with the following profit based on the plan that you have passed:

Intraday Trailing Max Drawdown Accounts:

• $50K Account:      You must go over $2,100 in profits
• $100K Account:   You must go over $3,100 in profits
• $150K Account:    You must go over $4,600 in profits

EOD (End of Day) Trailing Max Drawdown Accounts:

• $50K Account:      You must go over $2,100 in profits
• $100K Account:    You must go over $3,600 in profits
• $150K Account:   You must go over $5,100 in profits

Static Accounts:

• $50K Account:      You must go over $1,600 in profits
• $100K Account:    You must go over $2,600 in profits
• $150K Account:    You must go over $3,600 in profits

This buffer value must remain in place through payout approval - and the payout tier amount must also be achieved in order to request that amount.   
Even if your request is submitted, it will be denied if this buffer drops below this threshold before processing.

Final Trading Day Reconciliation

Payout eligibility is assessed during daily reconciliation (between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. EST/EDT).

If you qualify during this window, you have until 11:59 p.m. EST that same day to submit your request.

When Can I Request a Payout?

You can request a payout anytime once your account meets all conditions above.

• Upon approval, the requested funds are removed from your balance.
  
  
• Payments are sent within 24 hours of account adjustment.
  
  
• If you submit outside of business hours (Mon–Fri, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. EST, or during holidays), processing may take up to 72 hours.
  
  

Minimum Payout Amounts (By Account Type)

• $500 for All 50K account types
  
  

• $1,000 for All 100K accounts types
  
  

• $1,500 for All 150K accounts types
  
  
  

Maximum withdrawals will vary based on your account type and how many payouts you've received.

Scenario Example:

Let’s say you're using a $100K Intraday Trailing Max Drawdown Account  and your reach your $2,100 buffer as well as the other 3 objectives (5 days with minimum $250+, under 30% consistency rules and have traded for 10 trading days -  and you are trying to achieve a Payout for the first Tier #1 which is for $1,500 - you will need to earn $3,600 minimum to qualify for that payout.  The same requirement applies for each subsequent payout.

You choose to withdraw $1,500. Your account will be reset back to $100,000 and your drawdown will reset as well back to $3,000 and you will have to achieve the same requirements to achieve your next payout tier.

Keep in mind, in this example, if your equity balance drops below this buffer amount before payout approval, your account would be disqualified from receiving the payout.
