3% Trailing Drawdown Explained
Your drawdown level starts 3% below your initial balance. As your equity climbs to new highs, the level trails up behind it. It never moves down. If your equity falls to the active level, the account is breached.
Example on a $100,000 account:
Scenario | Equity | Drawdown Level | Status |
Start | $100,000 | $97,000 | Active |
Equity reaches $104,000 | $104,000 | $100,880 | Level rises |
Equity pulls back | $101,500 | $100,880 | Safe (level held) |
At a $104,000 high, the level sits at $104,000 minus 3% of $104,000 ($3,120), which is $100,880. Once your equity has pushed the level up, it stays there. It will never slide back down toward $97,000.
Caps And Exposure
Signals has profit caps and exposure limits that keep the product balanced.
Per-question profit cap: 3% of initial balance. On $100,000, at most $3,000 of countable profit from a single question.
Related-event profit cap: 4% of initial balance. On $100,000, at most $4,000 of countable profit across a group of correlated questions treated as one event.
Max exposure per question: 3% of initial balance. On $100,000, $3,000.
Max total open exposure: 8% of initial balance. On $100,000, $8,000 across all open positions.
Profit above a cap is non-countable. It does not count toward your target, your payout eligibility, or your withdrawable profit. Losses always count in full. For the full breakdown of how caps, related-event grouping, and exposure limits work, see the Risk Limits article.
Payouts
Payouts run on a 14 calendar day cycle. When a cycle completes and your account is in profit, you can request a payout if you meet the requirements.
At least 3 profitable trading days in the cycle.
Your largest profitable day is no more than 40% of the total payout-cycle profit.
All relevant event outcomes settled and verified, and no rule breaches.
The maximum payout-eligible profit per 14-day cycle on Signals, before the 80% split, is:
Account Size | Max Payout-Eligible Profit Per Cycle |
$5,000 | $200 |
$10,000 | $400 |
$25,000 | $1,000 |
$50,000 | $2,500 |
$100,000 | $4,000 |
You keep 80% of payout-eligible profit. For example, $1,000 of payout-eligible profit pays out $800 to you. For the complete list of eligibility conditions, qualifying-day minimums, and how the 40% largest-day rule is applied, see the Payouts article.
