Is the 5% profit cap permanent?

Why the profit cap never goes away, how it interacts with scaling, and what it means for your payouts over time.

Written by Team FD

Yes. The 5% profit cap is a permanent feature of all Funded Daily programs. It does not change, increase, or get removed at any point — regardless of your trading history, payout count, account scaling, or performance record.

This means:

  • The cap applies from your first payout cycle and every cycle after it

  • Reaching 3 or 8 clean payouts (the scaling milestones) increases your account balance — it does not remove or raise the cap

  • There is no upgrade, add-on, or setting that removes the profit cap

  • The cap is 5% of your current account balance per 14-day cycle

How the cap interacts with scaling

As your account scales, the dollar value of your cap increases because it is always calculated on your current balance. The 5% rate itself never changes.

Profit above the 5% cap in any cycle is not payable and does not carry forward to your next cycle.
