Payout Guidelines - Funded Account
You can request unlimited payouts per day, even from day one.
Earn a generous 80% split on all profits you make.
As soon as you hit the requirements, it may take up to 10 minutes for the dashboard to refresh.
Once your payout is requested, your funds are immediately withdrawn from your account. You can continue trading while we review your payout request.
Once you submit a payout request, it cannot be edited or canceled.

The pilot users can find the policy here.
Minimum payout amount: $250
Maximum payout amount: There is no maximum payout amount.
There is no buffer on the Daily Ultra plan. Withdraw what you make.
Please note that your drawdown threshold locks at account size + 100 after your first withdrawal. Withdrawing up to your locked drawdown limit will close your account.
First Payout Requirement
You must request your first payout before hitting the balance thresholds below.
If your balance reaches the balance threshold before requesting your first payout, your open position will be liquidated, and you won't be able to resume trading till you request your first payout.
This requirement only applies to your first payout. After requesting your first payout, you are free to make as much profit as you want.
Balance thresholds
25K account: $26,600
50K account: $53,100
100K account with 2,250 drawdown: $103,850
100K account with 3,000 drawdown: $104,600
EXAMPLES
EXAMPLES
Example 1 (Partial Withdrawal)
Scenario: You trade a $50K funded account with a $2,000 drawdown limit and reach a balance of $52,600.
Payout Limit: You can withdraw anywhere between $250 and $2,500. (Note: After your first payout request, your drawdown threshold permanently locks at starting balance + $100, which is $50,100).
Action: You request a payout of $500. Your new account balance becomes $52,100.
Result: Your drawdown threshold is locked at $50,100, leaving you with $2,000 of drawdown room to continue trading.
Example 2 (Maximum Withdrawal / Account Closure)
Scenario: You trade a $50K funded account with a $2,000 drawdown limit and reach a balance of $52,600.
Payout Limit: You can withdraw anywhere between $250 and $2,500.
Action: You request the maximum available payout of $2,500. Your new account balance drops to $50,100.
Result: Because your account balance matches the locked drawdown threshold of $50,100, your funded account reaches zero drawdown buffer and is automatically closed.
Example 3 (Mandatory First Payout Threshold / Auto-Liquidation)
Scenario: You trade a $50K funded account with a $2,000 drawdown limit and hit the First Payout Balance Threshold of $53,100 before requesting a payout.
Trigger: Open positions are instantly liquidated by the system, and further trading is paused.
Payout Limit: You are now eligible to withdraw between $250 and $3,000.
Result: You must request your first payout to reactivate the account. Once requested, your drawdown locks at $50,100, and you can resume unrestricted trading with no maximum payout caps going forward.
Contract Scaling Plan
1-Step Funded accounts scale progressively—your max position size grows as your balance increases. Limits are adjusted at the end of the trading day (5 pm EST) based on your closing balance.
Note: This scaling applies only to funded accounts. During evaluation, you have access to full contract limits (2, 4, 6, depending on account size).
| 25K Account | 50K Account | 100K Account |
Starting Max Contracts | 1 minis / 10 micros | 2 minis / 20 micros | 3 minis / 30 micros |
Milestone 1 ($1,000 in profit) | 2 minis / 20 micros | — | — |
Milestone 2 ($2,000 in profit) | — | 4 minis / 40 micros | — |
