What is a Profitable Day

A profitable day is defined as:

  • A day where profit is at least 0.50% of the initial account balance

Example

Account size: 100K

  • Minimum profit required = 500

If a day closes at:

  • +300 → does not count

  • +600 → counts as a profitable day


Profit Buffer

The profit buffer means the first 3% of profit on your account is reserved and cannot be withdrawn.

Only profits above the 3% buffer are eligible for payout.

Example

Account size: 100,000
Buffer threshold: 3,000 (3%)

  • Account at 102,000 → No withdrawable profit (still within buffer)

  • Account at 103,000 → Buffer met, withdrawable profit = 0

  • Account at 106,000 → Withdrawable profit = 3,000 (above the buffer)

Your FDR split is then applied to the withdrawable profit amount.
