Pro accounts at TX3 Funding are required to maintain a buffer zone, which helps ensure the account's stability and longevity by protecting against significant market fluctuations. Below are detailed guidelines on buffer requirements and related considerations.
Buffer Zone Overview
The buffer zone is a set amount of profit that must be retained in the account, which acts as a safeguard against drawdown and market volatility. This is essential to keep the account active and ensure that sufficient funds are available to cover any potential losses.
Maintaining a buffer helps sustain the account, with a percentage of profits available for withdrawal, while the rest is retained to support ongoing trading.
Traders can withdraw up to 60% of the profits within the buffer zone. The remaining balance stays in the account to provide a cushion for future trading. Each withdrawal resets the buffer to $0, which is replenished as additional profits are made.
Buffer Requirements by Account Size
Account Size | Buffer Amount | Withdrawal Percentage |
$50,000 Account | $2,100 | Up to 60% of profits |
$100,000 Account | $3,100 | Up to 60% of profits |
$150,000 Account | $4,600 | Up to 60% of profits |
The remaining profit acts as a buffer to help protect against potential market downturns and maintain account longevity.
Account Lifespan and Risk Management
The lifespan of your funded account heavily relies on how well you manage your buffer. By maintaining the required buffer, traders are better equipped to handle adverse market movements and avoid breaches that may lead to account termination.
Traders must consistently monitor their buffer and ensure they do not withdraw too much, which could put the account at risk. Proper risk management is crucial for ensuring the continued lifespan of the account.
Closing Payouts
The proportion of net reserves that a trader can withdraw varies as follows:
Under 45 Days: Traders can withdraw up to 20% of net reserves.
46 to 90 Days: Traders can withdraw up to 50% of net reserves.
90+ Days: Traders are eligible to withdraw up to 90% of net reserves.
These percentages are designed to incentivize traders to remain active while maintaining sufficient capital for ongoing trading activities.
Full Account Closure: In the event that you decide to close your funded account, a final payout (known as a closing payout) will be processed. This includes all eligible profits after ensuring that the required buffer has been maintained.
Account Review: Before a closing payout is made, the account will be reviewed to verify adherence to all trading rules and to ensure that no violations occurred. This process typically takes 3-5 business days.
Withdrawal Policy: The closing payout is subject to the same withdrawal policy, including KYC verification and minimum withdrawal requirements.
