What is a payout buffer?
Our Daily and Static Accounts have a buffer requirement.
Daily Accounts
Your buffer is profit that stays in the account. It's not a target you hit and withdraw — it's the floor your balance has to stay above.
Your buffer = your drawdown + $100
Account | Buffer (stays in the account) |
$25,000 | $1,350 |
$50,000 | $2,600 |
$100,000 | $3,100 |
$150,000 | $4,100 |
What you can withdraw: any profit above your buffer, with a $250 minimum. So your first payout becomes possible once you're $250 past it.
Example — $50,000 account
$2,600 profit — buffer cleared, but nothing sits above it yet. Nothing to withdraw.
$2,850 profit — $250 above the buffer. That's your first payout.
$3,600 profit — $1,000 above the buffer, which is your daily cap. Request all of it.
No minimum trading days — clear it and request the same day.
Why that number? Clearing your buffer is the exact moment your drawdown floor locks permanently at $100 above your starting balance. The buffer is what keeps you above that locked floor.
Static Accounts
What you can withdraw: any profit above your buffer, with a $500 minimum. So your first payout becomes possible once you're $500 past it.
