What the 6% payout cap 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 6%, no matter how much the account actually grows, the most you can take out at one time is 6% of the starting size.
This is applied before the profit split deduction.
Account size | 6% payout cap | 0.5% daily min (for reference) |
$5,000 | $300 | $25 |
$10,000 | $600 | $50 |
$25,000 | $1,500 | $125 |
$50,000 | $3,000 | $250 |
$100,000 | $6,000 | $500 |
$200,000 | $12,000 | $1,000 |
What happens if you go past the cap
Say you're on the $100,000 account and you don't stop at $106,000 — you keep trading and push the balance to $108,500. The cap doesn't reward that extra $2,500. When you withdraw, you can only take the $6,000 that fits under the 6% ceiling, and under the reset rule the account snaps back to $100,000 — so that extra $2,500 you earned above the cap is forfeited, not banked. That's why the cap effectively becomes your stop sign: once profit reaches 6%, the smart move is to withdraw and reset rather than risk locked-in gains on trades that can't pay you more.
The one detail worth confirming in your specific account terms is whether that 6% is a per-cycle cap (you reset and can earn another 6% next cycle, as shown above) or a per-payout-period cap tied to a calendar window — because that determines how often you can actually collect the full amount.
