Max number of payouts	6	6	6	6

In practice

The max loss ($2,000 on the 50K) follows your highest end-of-day balance: a peak during the day doesn’t move it.
Once funded, it stops trailing when it reaches your starting balance + $100.
On the 50K, a day can’t lose more than $1,000: that’s the daily loss limit.
Once funded, consistency is checked at each payout: your best day can be at most 50% of the profit since your last payout.
To request a payout on the 50K: 5 winning days of $250 or more and a balance above $52,100, then from $500 per payout, capped at $1,500 / $1,500 / $2,000 / $2,500 / $2,500 / $3,000 for payouts 1 to 6.
