− - Leave Some Sim Profits as a Buffer: Instead of withdrawing the maximum amount of your sim profits, consider leaving some in your account. This will give you more breathing room and reduce the risk of breaching your account.
− - Grow Your Account Further: Another option is to grow your account by an additional 5% or more before taking your payout. This will give you a larger cushion and increase the likelihood of growing and compounding your account.
− Of course, the decision is ultimately yours. We are happy to process your payout, but our goal is to see you have many successful payouts with us in the future. We don't want you to jeopardize your account in any way.

This rule encourages traders to focus on long-term growth and compounding, which can lead to significantly larger payouts over time. By locking the drawdown at the starting balance after a withdrawal, traders are incentivized to manage their accounts with discipline and focus on continued growth.
