What the 4% 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 4%, no matter how much the account actually grows, the most you can take out at one time is 4% of the starting size.
This is applied before the profit split deduction.
Account Size | 4% Payout Cap | 0.5% Daily Minimum |
$2,500 | $100 | $12.50 |
$5,000 | $200 | $25 |
$10,000 | $400 | $50 |
$15,000 | $600 | $75 |
$25,000 | $1,000 | $125 |
$50,000 | $2,000 | $250 |
$100,000 | $4,000 | $500 |
What happens if you go past the cap
Say you're on the $10,000 account and you don't stop at $10,400 — you keep trading and push the balance to $10,500. The cap doesn't reward that extra $100. When you withdraw, you can only take the $400 that fits under the 4% ceiling, and under the reset rule the account resets back to $10,000 — so that extra $100 you earned above the cap is forfeited, not kept.
