• Payout capWatch6/10

  A cap limits what you can withdraw per cycle. On some firms, profit above the cap is delayed; on a few, it is voided outright.

  “Each funded account has a maximum payout amount per withdrawal, depending on the account size. These caps apply to your first four payouts. 25K Account: Payout 1: $1,250 Payout 2: $1,250 Payout 3: $1,250 Payout 4: $1,250 50K Account: Payout 1: $1,500 Payout 2: $2,000 Payout 3: $2,500 Payout 4: $3,000 100K Account: Payout 1: $3000 Payout 2: remains 3% of the account balance 150K account: Payout 1: $4500 Payout 2: remains 3% of the account balance” source
