Payout Cap Policy
To ensure the long-term stability and financial health of Top One Trader, Traders are permitted to retain a maximum of $25,000 in net profits and total withdrawals within any rolling thirty (30) day period across all trading accounts owned by the Trader. If a Trader's combined net profits and withdrawals exceed $25,000 during any 30-day period, any excess profits may be deducted from the Trader's account balance(s). This policy is designed to support the continued sustainability and balanced growth of the Company while ensuring fair resource allocation for the benefit of all Traders and stakeholders.
Example
If a Trader receives:
$15,000 in payouts on Account A
$10,000 in payouts on Account B
within the same 30-day period, the Trader has reached the maximum allowable payout amount of $25,000.
Any additional profits generated above this limit during that 30-day period may be removed from the account balance until the rolling 30-day period resets.
Note: The $25,000 cap applies to the combined total of all funded accounts owned by the same Trader.
