You keep 90% of what you withdraw.
Between payouts you need roughly $4,000 of new profit (minimum profit).

Before your first payout

There's no evaluation: you start directly in the funded account.

Profit needed: $6,000 (1st payout), $4,000 (2nd+).
Your request must be at least $500.

After the first payout

Make about $4,000 of new profit before the next payout (minimum profit).
Typical processing time: Up to 5 business days.
Path to a live account: Reviewed after 5 payouts or +$40K; then Live (80% split) or Alpha Prime.

What can cost you a payout

End-of-day trailing drawdown: the floor sits $3,000 below your highest end-of-day balance and moves up when you close a day at a new high (never down). Losses during the day only count at the close.
Daily loss limit: $2,000. Losing more than that in a single day breaks the rule.
Breaking the consistency rule doesn't fail the account, but it blocks the payout until your profit is spread over more days.
News trading is not allowed: trades around major news can cost you the payout.
