Permitted only on approved automated strategy accounts.
Minimum payout

First-payout cap
The firm reserves the right to limit the first payout amount on automated strategy accounts based on overall risk profile, consistency, and trading behavior.

Real-time risk monitoring

Every active account is monitored in real time. Heartbeats land every 60 seconds; trade events are streamed at the moment they occur. Drawdown breaches are detected within 1 second; pattern violations (grid, HFT, hedge-x-account) are detected within 30 seconds.

Detection runs server-side on data we read from your broker via investor login — not from any software you install. Disputes are adjudicated against the audit log, which contains every trade, every heartbeat, and every state transition.
