Changes shown against Version 1.
Two things need to be true:
- Your account has reached its payout buffer (see the buffer question below)
- The amount you request is at least the minimum payout for your account size
There are no minimum trading days for payouts. As soon as the two conditions above are met and all trading rules have been respected, you can request.
Account size | Minimum payout request
50K Prime | $500
100K Prime | $900
− 150K Prime | $1,100
+ 150K Prime | $1,350
What is the payout buffer?
The buffer is a profit cushion you must build before any payout is possible. It is equal to your account's Maximum Loss Limit plus $100.
Account size | Buffer (MLL + $100) | Balance needed
50K Prime | $2,100 | $52,100
100K Prime | $3,100 | $103,100
150K Prime | $4,600 | $154,600
Two important points:
- The buffer itself can never be withdrawn. It stays in the account.
- Everything you earn above the buffer is withdrawable, as long as you respect the payout rules (minimum request amount, payout caps, and the 40% consistency rule).
Example on the 50K Prime: your balance is $53,000. Your buffer is $52,100, so $900 is withdrawable. Since $900 is above the $500 minimum, you can request it.
Are there payout caps?
Yes. Each of your first three payouts on the same account has a maximum amount:

Account size | Buffer (MLL + $100) | Balance needed

Are there payout caps?
Yes. Each of your first three payouts on the same account has a maximum amount:
Account size | 1st payout cap | 2nd payout cap | 3rd payout cap
50K Prime | $2,000 | $2,500 | $2,800
100K Prime | $2,500 | $3,000 | $3,500
150K Prime | $3,000 | $3,500 | $3,800
These caps apply per account. Payout number one, two, and three refer to the payouts made on that same account.
