# Earn a Life

A Life is a funded trading account. You earn one by finishing #1 in a Trial that used a Key.

## Alpha Life

|                   |      |

| Size              | $100 |

Future account sizes: [Product tiers](/docs/how-size-works/product-tiers-keys-and-lives.md).

## What happens when you finish #1

1. Size shows the Life award screen.
2. Size provisions the Life into your account.
3. If you have a free equip slot, the Life auto-equips and you can open the Terminal.
4. If all three equip slots are filled, the Life waits in [Inventory](/docs/wallet-and-store/inventory.md) until you free a slot and equip it. Nothing is lost: Inventory holds every Life you own.

## How Life slots work

Think of equip slots like loadout slots in a game.

![Manage Lives: equip slots and inventory](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/dropbear-hl/size-docs-assets@master/lives-active.png)

* Inventory stores all your Lives. There is no cap on how many you can hold.
* Up to three Lives can be equipped at once.
* Every equipped Life is live: each can hold open positions, and each one's drawdown lines run around the clock.
* The Terminal trades one Life at a time. Swap between equipped Lives instantly from the Terminal's side panel. Positions on the Life you leave stay open.
* To unequip a Life, close all its positions first. The slot frees up once its book is flat.

Because every equipped Life runs live, check them all regularly, not just the one on screen. See [Drawdown and risk rules](/docs/after-you-win/drawdown-and-risk-rules.md).

Preseason prize Lives work the same way: they land in Inventory at campaign close, ready to equip.

## If you breach

The Life ends and any earnings still on it are void, so take [Payouts](/docs/after-you-win/profit-split-and-payouts.md) as you earn. See [Drawdown and risk rules](/docs/after-you-win/drawdown-and-risk-rules.md).
