  • Remaining profits stay in the account

Risk Rules After First Payout

  • Maximum loss limit (MLL) moves to $100

  • MLL becomes fixed permanently after the first payout

How Payouts Work

  • Once you complete 5 qualifying winning days, you can submit a payout request

  • Each winning day must close with at least $150 in net profit

  • You must have at least $500 in total net profit at the time of the request

  • After each payout, a new payout cycle begins

  • To request another payout, you must:

    • Complete 5 new qualifying winning days, and

    • Generate at least $500 in additional net profit

Payout Examples

Example 1

  • 5 qualifying winning days

  • Total net profit: $5,000

  • Eligible payout: $2,000 (50% cap)

  • Remaining balance stays in the account

  • Trader receives: $1,600 after the 80/20 split

Example 2

  • 5 qualifying winning days

  • Total net profit: $20,000

  • Payout capped at $2,000

  • Remaining balance stays in the account

  • Trader receives: $1,600 after the 80/20 split

Example 3 — Net Profit Requirement Not Met

  • One losing day: -$1,000

  • Five winning days: +$150 each

  • Total net profit: -$250

  • Not eligible for payout

Even though the 5 winning day requirement was met, payouts are not allowed until total net profit reaches at least $500. Trading must continue until the profit requirement is satisfied.
