A payout request is deducted from your account balance in full. Your profit split determines what you receive. On a funded Evaluation account, the first payout also locks the floor at your starting balance.
Example: funded Evaluation account
$25,000 account, 5% maximum loss, first payout:
Item | Amount |
Balance before payout | $26,500 |
Payout requested | $1,000 |
You receive at 80% | $800 |
Balance after payout | $25,500 |
Floor before payout | $23,750 |
Floor after payout, permanently locked | $25,000 |
Room above the floor | $500 |
Example: Perps Instant
$100 drawdown, $2,500 account: the payout reduces your balance, but the floor never moves.
Item | Amount |
Balance before payout | $2,800 |
Payout requested | $300 |
You receive at 80% | $240 |
Balance after payout | $2,500 |
Floor, unchanged | $2,400 |
Room above the floor | $100 |
Plan your remaining room
For Instant accounts, retained profit remains available for future payout requests. For Evaluation funded accounts, profit retained after a payout becomes a trading buffer; future payouts are based on new profits earned above the next payout cycle’s starting balance. Leave enough room above the floor for trading costs and losses, especially after the Evaluation floor locks.
