In the prop trading industry, a bad week usually means failing an evaluation or losing a funded account entirely. You are forced to pay the full price to start over from scratch.

‍

At Next Level Funded (NLF), we believe a temporary losing streak shouldn't end your career. That is why we introduced the NLF Top-Up Feature — an exclusive tool for our Discord community that allows you to buy back your drawdown and stay in the game.

What is the NLF Top-Up Feature?

The Top-Up feature allows traders to purchase equity to inject directly into their active trading account. It is designed to give you breathing room when you are dangerously close to hitting your maximum drawdown limit.

‍

You can use Top-Ups whether you are on the final phase of an evaluation account or actively trading a live funded account.

How It Works: A Practical Example

Imagine you are trading a $10,000 Account with a 6% maximum drawdown ($600 loss limit).

‍

1. You hit a bad losing streak and lose 4%.
2. Your account balance is now $9,600.
3. You are now only 2% away from breaching the account, meaning your margin for error is incredibly tight. The psychological pressure makes it difficult to trade well.

‍

Instead of risking the account on a high-pressure trade, you can purchase a $250 Top-Up.

‍

• We inject $250 into your equity.
• Your new account balance is $9,850.
• You have just bought back 2.5% of your drawdown, giving you the breathing room you need to trade calmly and recover the rest of the account.

Top-Up Pricing and Options

Top-Ups are available exclusively through the NLF Discord community. We offer five tiers to suit different account sizes and drawdown severities:

‍

• 🏁 $100 Top-Up
• 👑 $250 Top-Up
• 🤯 $500 Top-Up
• 🤑 $1,000 Top-Up
• 🔥 $2,000 Top-Up

‍

(Note: Pricing for the Top-Up itself varies based on the equity amount purchased. Links are available in the NLF Discord).

The 2 Critical Rules of Top-Ups

To ensure the Top-Up feature is used responsibly as a risk management tool, there are two strict rules:

1. You Cannot Top-Up Past the Initial Balance

Top-Ups are designed for drawdown recovery, not account scaling. You cannot use a Top-Up to push your account balance higher than its original starting size. For example, if you have a $10,000 account and your balance is $9,900, you cannot purchase a $250 Top-Up (as this would push the balance to $10,150). Only purchase what you need.

2. You Cannot Top-Up a Breached Account

This is the most important rule. Top-Ups can only be used on active accounts. If you hit your daily or maximum drawdown limit and the account is officially breached, it is dead. You cannot use a Top-Up to reopen or resurrect a breached account. You must purchase the Top-Up before you hit the limit.
