How a payout works
- Trade your funded account and build profit.
- After 7 days, request your first payout from the dashboard (minimum $100).
- We review the account for rule compliance and KYC.
- Approved rewards are sent by crypto or bank transfer, including local methods where available. After that you can request again every 14 days.
Your profit split
You keep 80% of the profit you make on the funded account.
Reward guidelines
- Daily profit cap: up to $3,000 profit per trading day counts. Anything above is deducted, but it is not a breach.
- First two rewards: each can be at most 8% of the initial balance. From the third reward there is no withdrawal limit.
- Under 2 minutes: profit from trades held under 2 minutes is left out of the payout.
- Fee refund: this model does not include a challenge fee refund.
The 3% Reward Buffer
The first 3% of profit on the funded account stays on the account as a buffer. Only profit above it can be paid out.
Eligible profit = balance − (initial balance + 3%), then × 80%.
Example: on $100,000 with a balance of $104,000, the minimum required balance is $103,000. Eligible profit is $1,000, so your payout is $800. The portal may show total profit when you submit a request; the approved amount is adjusted for the buffer and split.
