Profit Split Progression
Headline 80–90% splits apply only after conditions — early cycles and add-ons change the math.
Most programs start near 80% to the trader and step toward 90–100% after consecutive payouts or add-on purchases. Evaluation add-ons that boost the split cost upfront and only pay back across several cycles. Instant programs often start lower because there was no evaluation filter. On $100K, the difference between 80% and 90% on a $5,000 month is $500 — larger than most challenge discounts. Read whether the progression is automatic, request-based, or add-on gated.

How traders get caught
Payout rules hide behind headline splits. Minimum profit, winning-day counts, consistency caps, safety buffers, and KYC must all clear — fail one and the payout button stays hidden with no explanation.
How to stay safe
Track winning days, best-day %, buffer distance, and KYC status in one checklist before requesting. Keep trading normally while the request queues.
The Formula
How it is calculated
Real Dollar Example
On a $100K account up $5,000, an 80% split pays $4,000 and a 90% split pays $4,500 — a $500 gap. A $150 add-on to unlock 90% needs one $1,500-profit cycle to break even; below that it loses money.
Common Traps & Mistakes
Buying a 90% add-on for a $500-profit account that never earns it back.
Assuming the headline 90% applies to the first payout — it usually starts at 80%.

Payout Gates & Profit Split
The 6 checks that hide your payout button: profit, days, consistency, buffer, KYC, and caps.
Payout Caps & Minimums
Minimum withdrawal floors and per-cycle caps decide how much of your $100K profit you actually touch.
All-In Cost Per $100K
True cost is fee plus resets, activation, data, and add-ons minus refunds — not the sticker price.
Scaling & Max Allocation
Grow 10% cleanly to double size — but total capital across all accounts caps near $300K–$600K.
