Key Rules for the Instant Starter Account
Profit Cap and Profit Share
Profit Cap: You can generate a maximum profit of $250 (5% of the $5,000 balance).
Profit Share Options: - For accounts purchased before January 17, 2026, you are entitled to a 50% profit share from the capped amount, yielding a maximum payout of $125. - For accounts purchased on or after January 17, 2026, you are entitled to a 90% profit share from the capped amount, yielding a maximum payout of $225.
Payout and Account Closure Conditions
Payout Limitations: You are eligible for only one payout during the account’s lifetime. After the first payout, the account is permanently closed.
Account Restrictions: You can only purchase a maximum of one Instant Starter account per client.
Trading Rules Before Payout Eligibility
Minimum Trading Days: The account requires a minimum of five trading days. A trading day qualifies only if you achieve a 0.5% profit (calculated based on closed balance) without incurring losses on that day. These five days do not need to be consecutive.
Consistency Rule: - Your highest-profit day cannot account for more than 15% of your total profits. If this rule is violated, payouts become temporarily ineligible until further trading balances out your profit consistency. - Example: If your highest-profit day is $50 your total profit must be at least $333 ($50 ÷ 0.15).
Important Policy Updates (Effective January 17, 2026)
Profit Share Changes: - Accounts purchased before January 17, 2026: Standard 50% profit share applies. - Accounts purchased on or after January 17, 2026: Updated 90% profit share applies.
Clarifications on Over-Cap Profits: If profits exceed the 5% cap while completing trading requirements (minimum days, consistency), you may only request up to 5% of the profit cap — the relevant profit share (50% or 90%) will apply to this amount.
