Drawdown & Targets
Maximum Drawdown = The maximum drawdown is 5% of the initial account balance, measured from the Highest Water Mark.
Example on a 5k account If your highest recorded equity reaches $5,200, your maximum permitted drawdown remains $250 (5% of the initial $5,000 account balance). This means your equity must not fall more than $250 from the highest recorded equity. In this example, your account must stay above $4,950.
Daily Drawdown (3%)
Recalculated daily at 5pm EST using the higher of balance or equity at reset; limit = that higher value minus 3% of the initial balance.
Example 1 (floating profit):
$100,000 account; 5pm equity $102,000 ā Next day equity must stay ā„ $99,000 ( $102,000 ā $3,000 ).
Example 2 (floating loss):
5pm equity $98,000 and balance $100,000 ā Use balance; next day equity must stay ā„ $97,000 ( $100,000 ā $3,000 ).
Payouts
Profit Split
70% from the first payout onward.
Payout Schedule
Bi-weekly (every 14 days).
Profit Cap & Max Withdrawal
Profit Cap per cycle = 5% of initial balance.
Max Withdrawal per cycle = 5% of initial balance.
Example: On $100,000, max withdrawal per cycle = $5,000.
Buffer Rule
To request a payout, you must first reach a 3% profit buffer. Once you've hit that threshold, you can withdraw any profits above the buffer, with your profit split applied to the withdrawal amount.
For example, on a $100,000 account the 3% buffer is $103,000. If your balance reaches $105,000, you can withdraw $2,000 ā after your 70% profit split, you'd receive $1,400. If your balance is $103,500, you can withdraw $500 and receive $350.
Once payout is complete, the account balance will reset to the start balance.
Instant Payouts
Not available on Instant Funding Zero (available on other products as specified).

Minimum Profitable Trading Days: (TEMP REMOVED DUE TO SALE)
To request a payout, you must have at least five profitable trading days. A profitable day is any day where you've made a minimum of 0.2% profit. Once you've hit five qualifying days, you're eligible to withdraw.
Minimum Trading Days currently = 0 due to a promotion. You can take 1 trade, and get paid out. Promotion ends 31st August.
Rule Breaches & Payout Denials
Soft Breaches (Profit Deductions)
If you break a rule (e.g. Tick Scalping, or other restrictions), the profit from that trade is deducted from your total profit.
If deductions are less than your profit, the reduced payout is still processed.
If deductions are greater than your profit (e.g., $3,000 profit but $4,000 deducted), your payout is denied.
You have a maximum of 20 soft breaches before account closure, this is detected at payout stage. Not automatically
If you have 50% or more of trades being soft breached, your payout will be declined. For example, if you have 15 trades and 10 of them are in breach of our rules, the payout will be declined
Payout Denial Penalties

2nd denial: account closed.
