In SIM Funded, your floor stops trailing for good at a moment called the lock. On BrightCore, it locks when your first payout is approved, at your starting balance + $100. In the Evaluation the Max Loss Limit never locks.
Where it locks
Size | Starting balance | Locked floor |
$25K | $25,000 | $25,100 |
$50K | $50,000 | $50,100 |
$100K | $100,000 | $100,100 |
$150K | $150,000 | $150,100 |
After the lock, the floor never moves again. If your equity touches the locked floor, even for a moment, the account is breached.
The lock when your first payout is approved
Before your first approved payout, your floor keeps trailing your highest daily close. When the payout is approved, the floor locks at start + $100 even if it had trailed higher. This gives you more room, on purpose.
Example: $50K BrightCore
Your highest daily close is $55,000, so your floor is $53,000.
Your first payout is approved.
š The floor drops to $50,100 and stays there. You have more room than before.
Reading your dashboard
Current on your dashboard is equity minus highest point. It is $0 or a negative number. Your account breaches when Current reaches the full Max Loss Limit amount, for example ā$2,000 on a $50K account.
