## How To Earn Your Way To A Live Cash Account
Traders may be considered for a Live Cash Account when one or more of the following apply:
* Traders who have demonstrated consistent, disciplined profitability over multiple payout cycles.
* Traders who have received up to **3-5 payouts** while meeting our internal risk standards.
* Traders who have exhibited exceptional risk management and trading performance.
* Our Risk Team has determined that your trading style is better suited to a Live Cash Account.

## Live Cash Transition Options — Choose One
Traders selected for transition to the Nexgen Live Cash Program will be contacted directly by Nexgen Risk Management and provided with the following options.
#### Option A: Priority Live Access & Capital Allocation
Apply your approved payout amount toward your Live Cash Account capital allocation and receive priority placement in the live onboarding queue.
Live onboarding is generally anticipated to begin within approximately 30 days.
#### Option B: Receive Your Full Payout Now & Transition on Next Payout
Receive your current eligible payout in full.
Your profile will then enter a **30-day transition period during which you cannot trade any Nexgen simulated prop accounts**. After the 30-day period, you may acquire up to 3 new simulated accounts or resume trading up to 3 existing semi-live accounts, subject to Nexgen's current account rules.
Once selected for Live Cash transition, you will apply future eligible simulated account earnings toward Live Cash progression rather than receiving standard simulated account payouts.
**You may select Option B only once.** You cannot select it again for subsequent payouts.
If simulated accounts are closed as part of the Live Cash transition, have no eligible payout, and will no longer be used, the applicable account fees may be refunded.

Refunds will be issued as part of the account’s transition to Live status.
{% endhint %}

## Max Risk On Live Cash Accounts:
A single semi-live account converted to Cash starts with a **3% maximum loss limit**. Converting multiple eligible simulated funded accounts increases risk capacity by **50%**, raising the limit to **4.5%**.
If your payout exceeds the combined max loss value, Nexgen will use your payout amount as your maximum live risk allocation.
#### Example:
Live Account Size
1 Account Live Transition 3% Max Risk
Multiple Accounts Live Transition 4.5% Max Risk
$25,000
$750
$1,125

## Max Loss & Locking Level For Live Cash Account
Max Loss starts at the Initial Equity Floor (3%, 4.5% max loss or payout amount)\
When your account reaches new end-of-day highs, your Max Loss increases with it, always remaining 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.
#### Example:
Live Account Size
1 Account Live Transition 3% Max Risk
Multiple Accounts Live Transition 4.5% Max Risk
Max Loss Locks At

After you complete your first five trading days, you may submit a payout request **each Friday**.
Also, you must make it to your first payout and be profitable before you take on the financial burden of paying for additional exchanges
* Profit split is 90% to the trader and 10% to the firm
* Payouts are able to be taken after your account has hit the "Locking point," when your account balance reaches Starting Balance + Max Loss + $100
* You can request payouts each Friday on a weekly cycle, with a $250 minimum per request.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://nexgen-software-services.gitbook.io/nexgen-pro-trader-funding/funded-account-info/nexgen-live-cash-accounts.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
