If a trader uses HFT at any point during the evaluation stage to assist in passing, the profit split for the funded account will reach its limit once the trader has gained 5% of the initial account balance. Any positive trading beyond the initial 5% gain is not eligible for payouts. Gaining more than 5% does not violate any rules; however, these virtual profits would not be included if you have passed with HFT.

For instance, if you continuously trade and make a profit of up to $10,000 on a 200k account, the profit split will be based on the virtual profits generated up to that point. You would receive 50%, 70%, or 80% of the numerical value ($10,000 in this case) of the 5% profit on the initial balance of your funded account.

The maximum 5% profit per payout is based on the initial account balance and resets after each payout.

This measure has been implemented to ensure long-term sustainability while considering community feedback on the continued presence of HFT. It allows HFT passers to receive regular payouts without complications and discourages traders from engaging in high-risk activities, such as fully leveraging positions before news events or engaging in gambling-like strategies. Providing traders with a focus on consistent payouts leads to higher-quality trade data for us to access. Longevity is our priority.

The maximum allocation of virtual funds has been increased to 400k, ensuring that substantial payouts remain a consistent opportunity for traders. With a maximum allocation of virtual funds at $400,000, the maximum profits that can be converted into a profit split at any given time would be $20,000, which remains quite favorable. This can be achieved through simultaneous 5% gains on two separate 200k accounts.
