Payout Trailing Max Loss Limit
How the Payout Trailing Max Loss works on the Payout Trailing Instant Account — a drawdown allowance that shrinks permanently each time you take a payout.
The Payout Trailing Max Loss is the risk-management rule used on the Payout Trailing Instant Account. Unlike trailing models that follow equity highs, this one is tied to payouts — each time you take a payout, your remaining drawdown allowance shrinks by your share of the withdrawal, permanently.
How It Works
Your starting Payout Trailing Max Loss allowance is set as a percentage of the starting balance:
5% of the starting balance for Ranks 0 and 1
6% of the starting balance from Rank 2 onward
⭐ Reach Rank 2 in the Experience Program and your starting Payout Trailing Max Loss allowance increases by 1%, giving you more room on the same account.
From day one, your account is breached the moment your balance or equity drops below the trailing limit. As you take payouts, the allowance shrinks dollar-for-dollar with your share of each withdrawal — and the trailing limit moves up toward your starting balance.
The allowance can never go below $0. Once it's reached, the trailing limit locks at the starting balance.
What Happens at Payout
When a payout is approved:
The withdrawn amount is deducted from the account balance.
Your share of that payout (after the profit share split) is deducted from the remaining Max Loss allowance.
The new trailing limit is recalculated from the starting balance.
This creates a linear, exact reduction in available drawdown after every payout. Profit alone never changes the allowance — only payouts do.
Calculating the Limit
You don't need to calculate the limit yourself — it's calculated automatically and shown on your dashboard.
The formulas are:
New Max Loss Allowance = Previous Allowance − Trader's Share of PayoutNew Trailing Limit = Starting Balance − New Max Loss AllowanceWorked Example
The example below uses a $100,000 account at Rank 1 (5% starting allowance) with a 75% profit share. Each payout caps at the progressive Payout Cap on the Payout Trailing Instant Account (3% → 4% → 5% → 6%).
ℹ️ Once the Max Loss allowance reaches $0 (Payout 2 in this example), it locks permanently at the starting balance of $100,000. You can keep trading and receiving payouts as normal, but with no drawdown buffer remaining — the account is breached the moment your balance or equity drops below $100,000.
