⚠️ Important Update: This FAQ reflects the policy changes introduced on July 27, 2025. Since then, payout caps have been updated (effective September 6, 2025) and End-of-Day accounts are now offered. Please refer to the main program pages and current FAQs for the latest information. Disregard the payout caps listed below.
Why this matters: These updates are designed to improve trader success, protect payouts, and speed the path from SIM to Real Prop. We’re building a real prop firm—these refinements keep the system fair, sustainable, and transparent.
Do my existing accounts keep the original payout caps? #
Yes—your current accounts are honored at the caps you purchased.
If your account was bought before July 27, 2025, 3:00 a.m. EST, you keep the legacy maximum caps: $1,250 (50K), $1,500 (100K), $1,750 (250K), $2,000 (500K).
Why this is good for you: we’re protecting the value you originally bought, so you receive the same payout opportunity you signed up for—no surprises and no take‑backs.
What payout caps apply to new purchases? #
For accounts purchased on/after July 27, 2025, 3:00 a.m. EST, caps are $1,000 (50K), $1,200 (100K), $1,500 (250K), $2,000 (500K).
What is the new max‑accounts policy? #
There is a 10 active‑account cap per trader (Warrior + Gladiator combined), effective July 27, 2025, 3:00 a.m. EST.
- Grandfathering: If you already have >10 active accounts, you may keep trading them. If any fail, they won’t be reinstated, and the 10‑cap applies going forward.
- Transitions: Existing active Warrior → Gladiator transitions are allowed beyond the new cap when passed on/after the effective time (subject to the current rules and caps).
What’s required for my first payout? #
Your first payout requires 6 total trading days, with at least 3 of those days in the week you request the payout.
What’s required after the first payout? #
You move to weekly payouts. Each week you want a payout, trade at least 3 days in that week (and meet all other rules).
Why do I need to keep the Payout Eligibility Balance (TDD buffer) intact? #
Because it protects you and the profits on the account.
We introduced this rule after reviewing real trading data: drawing into the buffer led to higher failure rates right after payouts. Keeping the full buffer intact means:
- You’re operating above your safety line, not on it.
- Your account starts each week with stability, reducing “post‑payout” blow‑ups.
- It strengthens payout reliability and supports your path to Real Prop.
What this means in practice:
At payout time, you only withdraw the amount above your Payout Eligibility Balance (the TDD buffer) and never into it. This isn’t a penalty—it’s protection that helps serious traders keep earning weekly, and progress toward Real Prop Phase.
When this applies: beginning with the August 2 payout cycle, for all accounts, regardless of purchase date.
What is the new consistency rule? #
The consistency threshold is now 30% (down from 40%).
- No single day’s net realized profit may exceed 30% of total realized profit since your last approved payout (or since activation if none).
- Applied at payout review starting August 2, 2025.
- Applies to all Gladiator/Instant Gladiator accounts, including Warrior → Gladiator transitions (no grandfathering).
The Core Misunderstanding:
Many traders wrongly assume: “If I need to trade only 3 days in a week to request a payout, then I must also hit the 30% consistency target within just those 3 days but that comes out to be 33%.”
But that’s not how the consistency rule works.
The 30% consistency rule is calculated based on all trading days since your last payout (or account start). The minimum 3 days per week rule is only a requirement to request a payout that week.
So, the trading-day rule sets the minimum activity to request a payout. The 30% rule checks your profit distribution over time — it can span many days and even weeks.
I’ve already been getting weekly payouts. Does that change? #
No. If an account has already received a payout, it stays on weekly cadence—just complete 3 trading days in the request week and meet the other rules (buffer intact, 30% consistency, etc.).
How do I move to Real Prop? What happens to SIM? #
You may be considered for Real Prop after 3 successful max payouts on any one Sim Payout Account, or 30 total max SIM payouts across your accounts (user‑level), or sooner for exceptional performance.
Once selected, you can receive a split up to 90/10 and payout caps are removed in Real Prop. You also keep earning in SIM (dual income) within program limits.
