Account Merge

Combining multiple funded accounts into a single larger account, offered by some prop firms as a reward for consistent performance.

Account merging allows successful traders to consolidate several funded accounts into one larger account, simplifying management and often unlocking better terms.

How It Works

  1. Pass evaluations for multiple accounts
  2. Demonstrate consistent profitability on each account
  3. Request a merge (some firms do this automatically)
  4. Receive a single account with combined buying power

Benefits

  • Simpler management: One account instead of juggling multiple
  • Larger position size limits: Combined account has higher max contracts/lots
  • Better profit split: Some firms improve your split ratio after merging
  • Single payout: One withdrawal instead of multiple

Typical Requirements

  • Minimum 2–3 funded accounts
  • All accounts must be profitable
  • No rule violations in a specified period
  • Minimum number of payouts received

Example

| Before Merge | After Merge |

|---|---|

| 3 × $50K accounts | 1 × $150K account |

| 15 max contracts each | 45 max contracts total |

| 3 separate payouts | 1 combined payout |

| 80% split each | 85% split (upgraded) |

Not All Firms Offer This

Account merging is not universal. Check your firm's specific policies. Some firms instead offer scaling plans that achieve a similar result by growing a single account.
