How Profit Cap Works

The profit cap limits how much profit counts per day, not how much you can make.

Any profit above the cap:

  • Does not count toward your target

  • Does not count toward payouts

Example 1

Account size: 100K
Daily cap: 2% = 2,000

Trader makes 3,500 in one day:

  • Counted profit = 2,000

  • Excess profit = 1,500 (ignored for progression and payout)

Example 2

Trader makes:

  • Day 1: 2,000

  • Day 2: 2,000

  • Day 3: 2,000

Total counted = 6,000

This is how progression is expected to happen.
