# Nexgen Live Cash Accounts
***
There is no application process to be considered for a Live Cash Account. The opportunity is earned by demonstrating consistent, disciplined, and profitable trading during your Sim/Live Account. Once your trading performance meets our internal risk standards, our Risk Desk will contact you with the next steps. **Do not open support tickets requesting a move to a live cash account**.
| **Account Size** | **Max Loss** | **Max Loss %** | **Initial Equity Floor** | **Starting Contracts** | **Scaling Rule** |
| :--------------: | :----------: | :------------: | :----------------------: | :--------------------: | :--------------------: |
| $50,000 | $2,000 | 4.00% | $48,000 | 2 | +1 contract per $5,000 |
| $100,000 | $4,000 | 4.00% | $96,000 | 2 | +1 contract per $5,000 |
| $150,000 | $6,000 | 4.00% | $144,000 | 2 | +1 contract per $5,000 |

## Max Loss & Lock Rule:
**Each account uses a 4% Max Loss. The Max Loss is the hard account failure level: if account equity touches or falls below it at any time, the account is closed.**
* **Max Loss** starts at the Initial Equity Floor. As your account reaches new end-of-day highs, your Max Loss moves up with it, always staying the same distance below your highest end-of-day balance. until it reaches the locking point.
* Locking point: once the account balance reaches Starting Balance + Max Loss + $100, the Max Loss level locks permanently at Starting Balance + $100. From that point, it never trails again, and the account can never fall below Starting Balance + $100.
* A daily loss limit applies at 3.5% of the current account balance. It scales with the account as the balance grows and pauses trading for the remainder of the session if the limit is reached (see Scaling and Position Sizing).
#### **Example Of Live Cash Account Locking Points:**
| **Account** | **Max Loss** | **Initial Floor** | **Lock Trigger (Balance)** | **Locked Floor** |
| :---------: | :----------: | :---------------: | :------------------------: | :--------------: |
| $50,000 | $2,000 | $48,000 | $52,100 | $50,100 |
| $100,000 | $4,000 | $96,000 | $104,100 | $100,100 |
| $150,000 | $6,000 | $144,000 | $156,100 | $150,100 |

## Scaling & Position Sizing:
Position size scales with account balance. Each account starts at 2 contracts and adds 1 contract for every $5,000 of balance growth, across all account sizes. The daily loss limit at each step is 3.5% of the current account balance. Scaling is earned from the net profit gained.
