Because the 1-Step rules have Trailing simulated loss rules, even if you have made a withdrawal, the trailing simulated loss will not return to the starting point (6% of the initial balance).
So what is needed for Merge is that the account returns to its initial state, like a fresh account that has never been touched
Example 1: You start out with a 100k account. Your Daily simulated loss is 4% and your Max Trailing is 6%. Your Daily simulated loss level is $96,000 and your Max trailing is $94,000. Let's say you make $8,000 simulated gain. You request a withdrawal of $6,000. Being that your account achieved 6% your Max simulated loss is locked in at $100,000. This now leaves you with only 2% for Max simulated loss.
Example 2: You start out with a 100k account. Your Daily simulated loss is 4% and your Max Trailing is 6%. Your Daily simulated loss level is $96,000 and your Max trailing is $94,000. Let's say you make $15,000 simulated gain. You request a withdrawal of $8,000. Being that your account achieved 6% your Max simulated loss is locked in at $100,000. You now have a buffer of $7.000 till Max simulated loss at $100,000.
Example 3: You start out with a 100k account. Your Daily simulated loss is 4% and your Max Trailing is 6%. Your Daily simulated loss level is $96,000 and your Max trailing is $94,000. Let's say you make $6,000 simulated gain. You request a withdrawal of $6,000. Being that your account achieved 6% your Max simulated loss is locking in at $100,000. You will have failed your account because you left no buffer and your account has reached Max simulated loss.
Daily Simulated Loss and Max Simulated Loss:
-The daily simulated loss is at 4%.
-The overall simulated loss is set at 6% trailing from your highest simulated balance achieved.
Locking Simulated Loss at Starting Balance:
A significant change comes into effect when your demo account reaches 6% of your starting simulated balance. At this point, your trailing simulated loss will lock in at your starting simulated balance.
