FundedSeat Rule Changes

 The minimum amount to receive a payout is $100, and payments are paid via bank transfer, ACH, or crypto. If your earnings do not meet the $100 threshold in a given month, your earnings will roll over to the subsequent month until the minimum payout threshold is achieved.
 When you meet the $100 commission threshold by the end of a month, you will be able to request a payout through the affiliate dashboard.
 You may request for a payout at any time, but affiliate payouts are paid out on the last Friday of the month.

 EXAMPLES
 Example 1 (Partial Withdrawal)
 - Scenario: You trade a $50K funded account with a $2,000 drawdown limit and reach a balance of $52,600.
 - Payout Limit: You can withdraw anywhere between $250 and $2,500. (Note: After your first payout request, your drawdown threshold permanently locks at starting balance + $100, which is $50,100).
 - Action: You request a payout of $500. Your new account balance becomes $52,100.
 - Result: Your drawdown threshold is locked at $50,100, leaving you with $2,000 of drawdown room to continue trading.
 Example 2 (Maximum Withdrawal / Account Closure)
 - Scenario: You trade a $50K funded account with a $2,000 drawdown limit and reach a balance of $52,600.
 - Payout Limit: You can withdraw anywhere between $250 and $2,500.
 - Action: You request the maximum available payout of $2,500. Your new account balance drops to $50,100.
 - Result: Because your account balance matches the locked drawdown threshold of $50,100, your funded account reaches zero drawdown buffer and is automatically closed.
 Example 3 (Mandatory First Payout Threshold / Auto-Liquidation)
 - Scenario: You trade a $50K funded account with a $2,000 drawdown limit and hit the First Payout Balance Threshold of $53,100 before requesting a payout.
 - Trigger: Open positions are instantly liquidated by the system, and further trading is paused.
 - Payout Limit: You are now eligible to withdraw between $250 and $3,000.
 - Result: You must request your first payout to reactivate the account. Once requested, your drawdown locks at $50,100, and you can resume unrestricted trading with no maximum payout caps going forward.

 There's no daily loss limit on the Daily Ultra Plan by default, but you can opt for a Daily Loss Limit (DLL) add-on.

 The DLL applies only during the evaluation and the funded phase up until your first payout. Once you hit that first payout, the DLL is lifted.
