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.
  • The daily loss limit is an option you choose when you buy. With it, the maximum per payout goes from $2,000 to $4,000 on the 50K.
  • To pass, your best day can’t be more than 55% of your profit: right at the $3,000 target (50K), that’s $1,650 at most in one day.
  • To request a payout on the 50K (Standard option): 5 winning days of $150 or more and a profit since the last payout, then up to 50% of your profit, from $125 to $2,000 per payout; you keep 90%.
