In 30 seconds

Earliest first payout: about 17 days after you buy, if you pass at the first try on the fewest days the rules allow.
You can only withdraw profit above $10,600 (the first $600 of profit stays in the account as a buffer).
Each payout is capped: $500 (1st payout), $500 (2nd), $500 (3rd), $1,000 (4th+).
You keep 100% of what you withdraw.
Between payouts you need roughly $1,000 of new profit (8 days × $125).

Before your first payout

Pass the evaluation: reach the $1,000 profit target without hitting the $500 max loss, trading at least 5 days.
Pay the $177 activation fee to start the funded account.
Grow the balance above $10,600. That's the buffer: money below it can't be withdrawn.
Days needed: 8 active trade days of $125+ (each at least 30% of your best day; 1st cycle), 10 after.
Your request must be at least $100.

How much you take home

Payout cap: $500 (1st payout), $500 (2nd), $500 (3rd), $1,000 (4th+).
Profit split: you keep 100% of what you withdraw.
