Payouts
Request a payout on your first trading day.
What does not apply
When you can request
All six have to be true at once.
- Your balance exceeds your starting balance plus buffer by at least $500.
- You are flat, with no open positions.
- You have no working orders resting in the book.
- Your account is active, not paused and not breached.
- We hold current authoritative data for your account.
- The withdrawal leaves your equity above your trailing threshold.
Your dashboard shows each one and names the one holding you back.
How much you can take
max gross = min(A − S − B, 2C, 2L, room above threshold)
- A
- Your reconciled simulated balance
- S
- Your starting simulated balance
- B
- Your retained profit buffer
- C
- Remaining daily cash capacity
- L
- Remaining cash capacity this billing period
Rounded down to a whole dollar. You receive half in cash.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Starting simulated balance | $50,000.00 |
| Retained profit buffer | $2,000.00 |
| First payout available at | $52,500.00 |
| Balance in this example | $53,000.00 |
| Gross withdrawal requested | $1,000.00 |
| Real cash paid to you | $500.00 |
| Simulated balance remaining | $52,000.00 |
| Received by anyone else | $0.00 |
The other $500.00 is not income to us. It is simulated balance that ceases to exist. That amount is an example, not a minimum: the smallest withdrawal on any account is $500.00 gross for $250.00 cash. At $52,499.00 the available gross would be $499, below the $500 minimum, so no payout is available yet.
Caps by account size
| Account | Buffer | First payout at | Most one request can pay | Daily cash cap | Monthly cap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $1,000.00 | $26,500.00 | $449.50 | $1,000.00 | $2,000.00 |
| $50,000 | $2,000.00 | $52,500.00 | $899.50 | $1,500.00 | $4,000.00 |
| $100,000 | $3,000.00 | $103,500.00 | $1,349.50 | $2,500.00 | $6,000.00 |
| $150,000 | $4,500.00 | $155,000.00 | $2,024.50 | $3,000.00 | $8,000.00 |
| $300,000 | $7,500.00 | $308,000.00 | $3,374.50 | $4,000.00 | $12,000.00 |
Capacity is reserved when you request, not when you are paid, so several requests share the same day’s cap and a pending request keeps counting against the day it was made.
Why one request pays less than the daily cap
Your trailing threshold never stops rising, so it always sits one drawdown allowance under your best equity. A withdrawal cannot take you to or through it. That makes your allowance the ceiling on any single request, and on every account it is smaller than the daily cash cap — so reaching the cap in a day takes more than one request, with new profit in between. The last whole dollar of the room is also unreachable: your equity has to finish above the threshold, not on it.
Eligibility, processing and settlement
Three different things. Only the first is ours.
| Stage | Governed by |
|---|---|
| Eligibility | The published rules above. This is what same-day means. |
| Processing | Automatic when every requirement is met; a review names its reason. |
| Settlement | Payment rails, your verification status, and banking cut-off times. |
We do not guarantee same-day receipt of funds in your bank account, and you should be sceptical of anyone who does.
Payout questions
Does a withdrawal count against my daily loss limit?
No. It lowers equity, but it is not a trading loss.
Does a withdrawal count against my daily loss limit?
Can I request more than once a day?
Yes, up to your daily cash cap.
Can I request more than once a day?
What happens if a payment fails?
Confirmed failure is reversed. An unknown outcome is not.
What happens if a payment fails?
Can a later breach cancel a payout I already earned?
No. An earned payout is not voided by a later change.
Can a later breach cancel a payout I already earned?
Why is the split 50% and not 90%?
You pass no evaluation, face no consistency rule, and can be paid on day one.
Why is the split 50% and not 90%?
We do not publish payout screenshots, totals paid or trader counts. We have not operated long enough for any such figure to be real. The rules above are the commitment.
