Criteria for payouts:

30% Best Day Rule → You must ensure that your highest-profit trading day does not account for more than 30% of your total profits generated.

Minimum Payout:

  • Rise: $500

  • Crypto: $100

Minimum profitable days for the first payout: 3

​Minimum profitable days between each payout: 4

  • A profitable day is considered as a day where the realized closed PnL equals to 0.5% or more.

  • You have to achieve profitable days between each payout cycle. After requesting a payout, your previously achieved profitable days will reset to 0.

  • Additionally, you must complete a 30 active calendar-day waiting period before your first payout (14 days if you purchased the add-on).

Payout Buffer → Before you can request a payout, you must keep a buffer in your account equal to your Trailing Drawdown amount. This buffer is not withdrawable. It exists to help prevent drawdown violations that could occur if you withdraw all available profits.

For example, if your trailing drawdown is 3% and your initial balance is $100,000, your required buffer is $3,100.

Payout Caps → Payout caps set the maximum amount you can request per payout.
