Payout Policy

Growth

Payouts are available after achieving 4 profitable trading days.
$50K: A profitable day must be $150 or more / Maximum payout: $2,500.
$100K: A profitable day must be $250 or more / Maximum payout: $3,000.
$150K: A profitable day must be $300 or more / Maximum payout: $4,000.
You can request up to 50% of the available profits in each payout cycle.

Pro

Payouts are available after achieving 5 profitable trading days.
$50K: A profitable day must be $200 or more / Maximum payout: $5,000.
$100K: A profitable day must be $300 or more / Maximum payout: $6,000.
$150K: A profitable day must be $500 or more / Maximum payout: $8,000.
You can request up to 100% of the available profits, subject to the maximum payout limit.

Minimum Payout

The minimum payout request is $20.

New Profits per Payout Request (Applies After the First Payout)

New profits must be at least 50% of the payout request amount.
New profits are the profits earned after the previous payout.
The remaining 50% of the payout request can come from previous profits remaining in the account.

Example of New Profits (Applies After the First Payout)

You have $1,000 in previous profits remaining in the account after your last payout.
After your last payout, you earn $500 in new profits.
You want to request a $1,000 payout.
At least half of the payout amount must come from new profits.
This means a $1,000 payout request requires $500 in new profits.
You have $500 in new profits + $500 in previous profits = you can request a $1,000 payout.

Example of Insufficient New Profits (Applies After the First Payout)

You have $1,000 in previous profits.
After your last payout, you earn $200 in new profits.
You want to request a $1,000 payout.
The request requires $500 in new profits, but you only have $200.
Therefore, you cannot request a $1,000 payout.
The $200 in new profits allows you to request up to $400, because 50% of $400 is $200.
