Each account is created with a standard 5% “buffer zone” to give traders flexibility to establish strategies without being stopped out immediately. This means traders can incur a Max Loss of 5% before the account is disabled.
Max Loss Per Account Examples:
For a $50,000 account, the Max Loss is $2,500.
For a $100,000 account, the Max Loss is $5,000.
For a $150,000 account, the Max Loss is $7,500.
Once a trader earns 5% of their account balance, they become eligible for payouts and can make withdrawals. There is no need to maintain the 5% buffer zone after reaching it—reaching it makes the account eligible for payouts.
Example
If a trader starts with a $150,000 account and, after some successful trading days, earns $15,000, bringing their balance to $165,000, they have reached the buffer zone and are now eligible for payouts. Even if they experience small losses afterward, bringing their balance down to $162,000 after 10 days, they can still request a payout up to the Max Withdraw limit of $4,000.
