The short answer: Each payout uses the eligible profit earned in the current payout segment. Most CFD and Perpetuals programs require at least 1% new segment profit; Horizon and Odyssey require 3%. Your program’s payout cap and other eligibility conditions still apply.
What is a payout segment?
A payout segment runs from the start of the funded account, or from the start of a new segment after a completed payout, until the next payout is completed. The segment’s starting equity is the baseline used to calculate its new profit.
Profit retained from an earlier segment stays in your balance. It does not count as newly earned profit in the next segment.
Minimum profit before a payout
Multiply the equity at the start of the segment by the minimum-profit percentage for your program. This threshold is separate from the minimum cash payout and from your maximum payout cap.
Segment starting equity | 1% requirement | 3% requirement: Horizon / Odyssey |
$10,000 | $100 | $300 |
$25,000 | $250 | $750 |
$50,000 | $500 | $1,500 |
$100,000 | $1,000 | $3,000 |
$108,000 | $1,080 | $3,240 |
The baseline can differ from your original account size after a payout. Use the current segment and withdrawal preview in your Dashboard.
How the cap affects a payout
The cap is the maximum gross amount you may request for that payout. It depends on your program, variant, account size, and payout tier. It is not always 3%, and the percentages are not identical across account sizes.
Your profit split is then applied to the eligible requested amount. For example, a $3,000 gross withdrawal with a 90% split gives a $2,700 share before processing fees. A fixed 80% split would give $2,400.
Example with a $3,000 cap
This example assumes a $100,000 original account, a segment starting at $108,000, a $3,000 cap for the current payout, and a $4,000 cap for the next payout. These are example caps, not a universal schedule.
Event | Balance | New segment profit | Gross amount available before other checks |
Current segment begins | $108,000 | $0 | $0 |
You earn $5,000 | $113,000 | $5,000 | Up to $3,000 |
A $3,000 gross withdrawal completes | $110,000 | New segment starts at $0 | $0 in the new segment |
You earn another $4,500 | $114,500 | $4,500 | Up to $4,000 under the example’s next cap |
The $2,000 above the first cap remains in your balance. The next segment starts at $110,000, so its minimum new profit is $1,100 at 1% or $3,300 at 3%. Qualifying days, consistency, closed positions, and all other payout requirements must also be satisfied.
Common questions
Does the minimum profit reset after a payout?
Yes. A new segment starts after a completed payout. You must meet your program’s minimum again using that segment’s starting equity.
What happens to profit I did not withdraw?
It stays in the account balance. Your next payout depends on profit newly earned in the next segment, subject to its cap and eligibility rules.
Is the minimum profit also the payout cap?
No. The minimum profit makes a segment eligible for review. The cap limits the gross amount that can be requested. Neither is your profit-split percentage.
Can I keep trading after reaching the minimum?
Yes, while following your account rules. You do not have to request a payout immediately. Profit above the applicable cap remains in your account.
Does every approved payout increase the cap?
Progression depends on the payout result and the schedule for your account. Fully approved, compliant payouts advance the applicable tier where the schedule has a higher tier; partial approvals and declined payouts do not.
