Framework B: Orbit Accounts ($0 Starting Balance)
To optimize your trading environment and accurately track your performance, Orbit Accounts utilize a centralized subaccount structure.
Your account features a $0.00 Starting Balance, with risk parameters defined by a dedicated operational buffer based on your account size:
Account Size | Starting Balance | Maximum Allowable Loss (Buffer) | Max Negative Floor |
$50K | $0.00 | $2,000.00 | -$2,000.00 |
$100K | $0.00 | $2,500.00 | -$2,500.00 |
$200K | $0.00 | $2,000.00 | -$2,000.00 |
Why does my Orbit Account start at $0.00?
Your balance begins at zero so that your dashboard portrays your net profits with absolute clarity. Because all trading and funding for Orbit accounts are consolidated into one single centralized brokerage account, your individual subaccount baseline starts at $0.00. This ensures that every dollar of growth on your dashboard represents your pure, realized performance from day one.
Understanding Your Drawdown and Buffer Balance
While your visible balance starts at zero, you are equipped with a full risk buffer.
The Drawdown Limit: Your account balance can technically navigate below zero, down to the maximum negative floor listed for your account size (e.g., -$2,500.00 for a 100K account).
The Buffer: This negative threshold represents your operational buffer. It provides you with full risk flexibility while ensuring your dashboard accurately reflects your exact eligible profit without artificial balance inflation.
Agreements & Payout Rules
We've created new Tradovate, Rithmic, and Volumetrica SIM Funded accounts. The brokerage rules stay the same, so no changes there. You can continue to trade as you did in the BluLive/Buffer account, but now you'll be trading with a simulated balance. You can withdraw profits from your account, but you must maintain the static drawdown in your account. However, there's one important difference: if you make over $10,000, you must open a support ticket to get your trading account reviewed.
If you don't open this support ticket, you won't get paid for anything over $10,000 and may lose the account.
Your payouts will now count toward the $10,000 threshold required to be considered for a Live Brokerage Account. That means every dollar you earn, whether kept in the account or withdrawn, moves you closer to going fully live.
✅ Here's how it works:
Once you've generated a total of $10,000 in profit (from your starting balance, including any payouts you've taken), you'll need to open a support ticket to request a Brokerage Review. Our team will assess your trading and may invite you to move up to a live brokerage account. We are working on automating this in the future, but for now, you'll be responsible for tracking your total profit + payouts and submitting your request manually.
After your dashboard confirms a "Passed" status for your Buffer account, you will receive an email informing you to complete KYC via Veriff. Once KYC has completed and finalized, you will then receive your new account number which will populate in your account dashboard.
✅ Reminder: Please ensure that your ID has a valid expiration date and clearly shows your Date of Birth
✅For Rithmic, you will receive an email when your Sim Funded account is ready.
✅For Tradovate, you will receive an email when your Sim Funded account is ready.
✅For Volumetrica, you will receive an email when your Sim Funded account its ready.
