After the three Ascension cycles you move to a Live account with Midgard's real capital, starting at $1,000 to $4,000 by size. Minimum balance: 30% of the highest end-of-day balance, which only rises; if equity touches it, the account is liquidated. No targets or payout caps. It requires extra verification (proof of address, phone and tax ID) and the trader pays their own market data.

Professional Stage accounts use real capital. Pro environment runs on Tradovate; Live Market Execution environment runs on Rithmic.

Scaling plan applies to Simulated Funded and Professional Stage accounts. In Sim Funded, position size increases with realized profit (end-of-day). In Professional Stage, scaling is decided case-by-case by the Live Desk based on EOD realized results.
Sniper 25K and Accelerate 25K have fixed position limits and no scaling plan. Payday 50K has a scaling plan.
Choice has fixed position limits, the same as in the evaluation, and no scaling plan.

Intraday trailing: it follows the highest equity, unrealized profit included. On the Trial it locks at the profit target. Once funded it locks at the starting balance when profit reaches the buffer, which equals the drawdown. Losses and payouts reduce it dollar for dollar; at zero the account fails.

Evaluation Phase

• Prime / Classic / Premier EOD: End-of-Day trailing drawdown based on realized gains.
• Elite / Premier Intraday: Intraday trailing drawdown based on unrealized gains.
• S2F Accelerate: Intraday trailing drawdown with no ceiling.
• Velocity: Intraday trailing drawdown; optional EOD drawdown during evaluation.
• Choice: End-of-Day trailing drawdown.

Simulated Funded Phase

• Velocity: Intraday trailing drawdown, including accounts with the evaluation EOD Add-On.
• End-of-Day drawdown on all plans except Velocity and S2F Accelerate. Except for Sniper 25K, once an End-of-Day account reaches the buffer zone (e.g., $52,000 for $50K account), the drawdown becomes static at the initial balance.
• S2F Accelerate: Intraday trailing drawdown with no ceiling.

Professional Stage

• End-of-Position (EoP) drawdown: adjusts only when a position is closed in profit. Drawdown locks at a static threshold once fully recovered (e.g., $50,100 for $50K account).

S2F Sniper / Accelerate / Payday

• Sniper 25K: EOD trailing drawdown that never locks.
• Accelerate 25K: intraday trailing drawdown that never locks.
• Payday 50K: EOD trailing drawdown locks at the initial balance once the EOD balance reaches the initial balance plus the maximum drawdown.

Choice funded

• End-of-Day trailing drawdown. Locks at the starting balance + $100 once the highest close reaches the starting balance + drawdown + $100, or at the first payout.
• Daily Pay on 100K / 150K: $2,500 / $3,500 drawdown, tighter than the evaluation. Weekly Pay keeps the evaluation drawdown.

80% on Raid and Conquest. Ascension pays fixed 100% bounties.
