NYS Live Scale has its own rule set, and it is deliberately short. Once you have been invited, these are the rules that keep your account active and your payouts flowing.
The rules that apply
Maximum Daily Loss: 3%.
Maximum Loss: none.
Profit Target: none.
Consistency rule: none.
News trading, overnight holding and weekend holding: allowed.
Payouts: daily, with a 50/50 profit split.
Your obligations
Stay inside the 3% Maximum Daily Loss.
Respect the anti-abuse rules that apply across NYS Markets, including the complete prohibition on hedging and on execution or price-feed exploitation.
Keep your identity verification (KYC) current; verification may be requested at any time.
Only closed trades count, and no positions may be open when you submit a payout request.
While a payout is being processed, trading is disabled; it is re-enabled once the payout has been completed.
Every request is subject to Risk & Compliance review. Submitting a request does not guarantee approval.
Best practices to maximize your journey
Trade your plan. With no Maximum Loss in place, the 3% daily limit is what protects the account — consistent position sizing keeps you comfortably inside it.
Avoid prohibited conduct. Hedging, coordinated trading and platform or infrastructure abuse can end your place on NYS Live Scale and reverse profits.
Request payouts cleanly. Close positions and cancel pending orders before every request.
Use your tools responsibly. Expert Advisors, bots, algorithms and AI tools are allowed, but you remain responsible for every resulting order.
Capital increases
There is no automatic scaling, and no increase is triggered by a number of payouts or months traded. Additional NYS Live Scale capital is considered case by case through an interview and invitation process.
