Payouts

Why funded accounts close after the fifth payout

Every funded challenge account — One-Phase or Two-Phase — pays exactly five payouts and then closes. The fifth payout is the largest, calculated as the lower of 50% of profit above starting balance or your tier's published cap. You can buy a new entry anytime to start again.

Every funded challenge account on TradeSport pays out exactly five times, then closes:

  • One-Phase: payouts 1–4 are fixed per-tier amounts; payout 5 is up to the tier cap.
  • Two-Phase: milestones 1–4 are fixed per-tier amounts; milestone 5 is up to the tier cap.

The fifth payout is the big one. You receive whichever is lower: 50% of the account's profit above its starting balance, or the published fifth-payout cap for your tier ($3,000 / $5,000 / $7,000 One-Phase; $3,000 / $6,000 / $9,000 Two-Phase). The 90/10 split then applies.

After the fifth payout, the account closes. This is by design — each entry has a published lifetime payout cap ($9,000 / $13,000 / $19,000 One-Phase; $6,500 / $13,000 / $20,500 Two-Phase, gross).

Starting again: buy a new entry whenever you like. A new One-Phase entry is funded from day one; a new Two-Phase entry starts in the eval phase. You can hold up to $1,000,000 in combined active simulated accounts at a time, and a closed account frees up room.

One more structural note: after your first payout on any funded account, the drawdown floor locks permanently at your starting balance + $100 and stops trailing — it stays locked through payouts 2–5.
