The payout cap is the maximum amount you can withdraw during a single payout cycle.
For Instant Pro accounts, the payout cap is 20% of your initial account balance per cycle.
Payout Cap by Account Size

100K | 20,000 |
50K | 10,000 |
25K | 5,000 |
10K | 2,000 |
5K | 1,000 |
How the Payout Cap Works
The payout cap limits how much profit can be considered for withdrawal in a single payout cycle.
Step | Explanation |
1 | You generate profit |
2 | Apply payout cap |
3 | Subtract buffer (5%) |
4 | Apply profit split |
Example: Profit Exceeds Cap
Item | Value |
Account Size | 100,000 |
Total Profit | 30,000 |
Payout Cap | 20,000 |
Capped Profit | 20,000 |
Buffer (5%) | 5,000 |
Eligible Profit | 15,000 |
Only 15,000 remains eligible after applying both cap and buffer.
Example: Profit Below Cap
Item | Value |
Account Size | 100,000 |
Total Profit | 12,000 |
Payout Cap | 20,000 |
Capped Profit | 12,000 |
Buffer | 5,000 |
Eligible Profit | 7,000 |
Since profit is below the cap, the cap does not limit the payout.
Applying Profit Split
After applying both the payout cap and buffer:
Item | Value |
Eligible Profit | 15,000 |
Trader Share (50%) | 7,500 |
What Happens to Remaining Profit?
If your profit exceeds the payout cap:
The excess profit remains in your account
It can be withdrawn in future payout cycles
You must meet payout conditions again

Profit Retention | Excess profit is not lost |
Resets Each Cycle | Cap refreshes every payout period |
Does the cap apply before or after the buffer?
The cap is applied before the buffer.

No. Any excess profit remains in your account for future withdrawals.
