What the 3% payout cap per payout means
The payout cap is the maximum profit you're allowed to withdraw in a single cycle, expressed as a percentage of your account's starting balance. At 3%, no matter how much the account actually grows, the most you can take out at one time is 3% of the starting size.
This is applied before the profit split deduction.
Account size | 3% payout cap | 0.5% daily min (for reference) |
$1,500 | $45 | $7.50 |
$2,500 | $75 | $12.50 |
$5,000 | $150 | $25 |
$10,000 | $300 | $50 |
$15,000 | $450 | $75 |
$25,000 | $750 | $125 |
What happens if you go past the cap
Say you're on the $10,000 account and you don't stop at $10,300 — you keep trading and push the balance to $10,500. The cap doesn't reward that extra $200. When you withdraw, you can only take the $300 that fits under the 3% ceiling, and under the reset rule the account resets back to $10,000 — so that extra $200 you earned above the cap is forfeited, not kept.
