Short Answer: Before each payout, you need at least 1% of new profit on your funded account (3% on Horizon and Odyssey). Each payout is based on the profit you make in your current payout segment, up to your current payout tier. Any profit above the cap stays on your account balance and you keep trading with it.
What Is a Payout Segment?
A payout segment is the period between two consecutive payouts. Every time you receive a payout, a new segment begins. Only the profit you generate within the current segment is eligible for withdrawal.
Think of it as a fresh start after every payout. Your previous profits have already been settled, and your next payout is based solely on what you earn from that point forward.
The 1% Profit Requirement
Before submitting any payout request, you must generate a minimum of 1% profit based on your funded account balance (3% on Horizon and Odyssey). This requirement applies to every single payout, not just your first one.
Account Size | Minimum Profit Before Each Payout |
$10,000 | $100 |
$25,000 | $250 |
$50,000 | $500 |
$100,000 | $1,000 |
$200,000 | $2,000 |
This resets after every successful payout. Once your payout is processed, the 1% requirement starts again from zero.
How Payout Segments Work
Each time you receive a payout, your account enters a new payout segment. Only the profit earned within this new segment counts toward your next withdrawal, and your payout is subject to the cap defined by your current payout tier.
Example: $100,000 funded account, currently on Payout #3 (3% cap = $3,000 maximum withdrawal)
Event | Balance | Segment Profit | Payout Tier Cap | Withdrawable |
Segment 3 begins | $108,000 | $0 | 3% ($3,000) | $0 |
You trade and earn $5,000 | $113,000 | $5,000 | 3% ($3,000) | $3,000 |
You request payout | Payout processed: $3,000 | Segment 3 closed | -- | -- |
Segment 4 begins | $110,000 | $0 | 4% ($4,000) | $0 |
You earn another $4,500 | $114,500 | $4,500 | 4% ($4,000) | $4,000 |
In this example, you earned $5,000 in Segment 3 but your payout tier cap was $3,000 (3%). The remaining $2,000 stays on your account as part of your balance. Your Segment 4 payout is based on the new $4,500 you earned, capped at $4,000 (4%).
Plan your payouts
Each segment is counted on its own. For your next payout, make at least 1% of new profit after your last payout (3% on Horizon and Odyssey), then request it. Requesting payouts regularly is the fastest way up the payout tiers, because each fully approved payout moves you to a higher cap.
Why Does This Policy Exist?
This structure ensures that every payout reflects genuine, recent trading performance. It prevents strategies where a trader accumulates unrealized or unwithdrawn profit over long periods and then attempts to unlock it all at once through tier progression.
It also keeps the payout process clean and auditable. One segment, one set of profits, one payout.
Common Questions
Does the 1% requirement reset after every payout? Yes. After each successful payout, you start fresh. You need to generate 1% profit again before your next withdrawal.
What happens to profit I didn't withdraw in a previous segment? It stays on your account as part of your balance. For your next payout, you need at least 1% of new profit since your last payout (3% on Horizon and Odyssey).
Does this apply to all account types? It applies to all CFD and Perpetuals funded accounts. Futures accounts follow the Futures payout structure.
Can I keep trading before requesting a payout? Yes. A segment ends only when a payout is processed. Until then, your profit keeps building up in the same segment, up to your current tier cap.
What if I earn 1% but want to keep trading before withdrawing? That is fine. You can continue trading within the same segment and your withdrawable amount will grow up to the tier cap. The 1% is the minimum threshold to request a payout, not a cap.
What if I earn more than my tier cap allows? The amount up to your tier cap is paid out and the rest stays on your account balance. For the next payout you need at least 1% of new profit, and each fully approved payout moves you to a higher cap.
