What Is a Payout Cycle?
A payout cycle represents a withdrawal stage that must be completed in order. Each cycle includes:
A required payout target percentage
A defined maximum withdrawal cap
Full compliance with all trading rules
Once a payout is approved and processed, the account advances to the next cycle.
Payout cycles are sequential and cannot be skipped.
Payout Target Structure
Payout targets are calculated based on the account’s starting balance, not the current balance, and not floating equity.
Cycle 1: 6% of the starting balance
Cycles 2 – 7+: 4% of starting balance
The higher first-cycle requirement establishes initial performance consistency. After Cycle 1 is completed, all remaining cycles require 4%.
Target Examples
Account Size | 6% Target (Cycle 1) | 4% Target (Cycle 2+) |
$25K | $1,500 | $1,000 |
$50K | $3,000 | $2,000 |
$100K | $6,000 | $4,000 |
$150K | $9,000 | $6,000 |
Withdrawal Caps by Account Size
Cycle | $25K Max | $50K Max | $100K Max | $150K Max |
1 | $1,000 | $1,000 | $1,500 | $2,000 |
2 | $1,000 | $1,250 | $1,750 | $2,250 |
3 | $1,000 | $1,500 | $2,000 | $2,500 |
4 | $1,000 | $1,750 | $2,250 | $2,750 |
5 | $1,000 | $2,000 | $2,500 | $3,000 |
6 | $1,000 | $2,250 | $2,750 | $3,250 |
7+ | $1,000 | $2,500 | $3,000 | $3,500 |
The $25K account maintains a fixed withdrawal cap across all cycles. Larger accounts scale progressively to allow increased withdrawal flexibility over time.
How the System Works
Reach the required payout target percentage.
Ensure full compliance with all trading rules (consistency rule, minimum trading days, drawdown limits, and no violations).
Submit your payout request.
Upon approval, your account advances to the next payout cycle.
If profits exceed the maximum withdrawal cap for the current cycle, the excess remains in the account and may be withdrawn in future payout cycles.
