First payout after 5 active trading days. Up to 100% of profit, then 80% after $25,000 of total payouts. You can ask every day; the firm promises approval within 48 business hours or it adds $1,000. After one payout, 5 active trading days or $1,000 of gains, the firm may move you to a LIVE ELITE account; if you turn it down you only get 5% of your gains (2% above $12,500) and are banned for two years. Simulated payouts are capped at $25,000 across all accounts and $150,000 over your lifetime. A funded account must reach its safety net within 45 days, and every account needs at least one genuine trade a week.
