Transition to Live
After 3 successful payouts, a risk manager will evaluate your account and decide whether you continue in INSTANT or move to Live (the transition may occur before the third payout).

During the transition:

• All other accounts are paused or closed
• Only 1 Live account is allowed
• Trading on SIM accounts is not allowed while the review is ongoing

Pre-Live Stage
Pre-Live is an intermediate phase created to facilitate the move from SIM to real capital and to evaluate discipline and risk management under conditions close to Live:

• 1 daily payout from the first day in profit
• No consistency rule
• No maximum withdrawal limits
• Activation in 3–5 days

Move to Full Live
After demonstrating consistency in Pre-Live, the account is upgraded to Live (Plus500) with real capital, without restarting the process or affecting payouts:

• Up to 10% of the initial balance of the SIM account is transferred
• Only one account migrates to Live
• The highest profit from a single account is transferred

On demand, as soon as the conditions are met.

X-ULTRA

• Paid evaluation resets remain available after new accounts sell out. Each reset starts a new 30-day evaluation period.

X-Daily Spark: evaluation resets available; no funded reset.

X-ULTRA: 4 profitable days before each payout instead of 7 (+30%).

No DLL: Elite Daily and Ignite, approximately +30% on purchase; Elite Access, approximately +30% on activation. Select at initial checkout only; unavailable afterwards or on resets.

X-Daily Spark: static evaluation drawdown (+$15); lower evaluation target, 5% (+$15) or 4% (+$30). Bought at checkout, evaluation only. No funded daily loss limit (+$30), selected at activation.

One Step: end-of-day trailing, rising with the closing balance. Instant: intraday trailing on peak equity, open profit included. Both lock once they reach the starting balance. Touching it ends the account.

EOD trailing drawdown: Elite Challenge, Elite Daily, Elite ACCESS Standard, Instant Sim Funded and IGNITE.

Elite ACCESS Intraday uses EOD trailing drawdown during evaluation and real-time intraday trailing drawdown when funded. The funded drawdown follows the highest realized or unrealized equity and locks at starting balance + $100 after the first payout.

For Instant Sim Funded, the trailing drawdown locks above the starting balance once its lock condition is reached or after the first payout.

X-ULTRA
EOD trailing in evaluation and funded stages; follows the highest closing balance, never moves down and locks at starting balance + $100. Falling below the threshold fails the account. Funded drawdown: $3,000 / $4,500 / $6,000 for 50K / 100K / 150K.

X-Daily Spark: EOD trailing in evaluation and funded; follows the highest closing balance and never moves down. Funded threshold locks at starting balance + $100. Static evaluation drawdown available as an add-on.
