How payouts work for Prime and Frees accounts outside the December 2025 special window

This article consolidates all current payout conditions for first and second payouts on:

• All Prime Accounts
• Frees Accounts purchased before December 8, 2025
• Frees Accounts purchased on or after January 1, 2026

These accounts follow the standard Taurus payout model, designed to keep Profit Accounts (PA) stable and ensure consistent growth before each withdrawal.

Below you will find the full requirements for the first payout, the simplified requirements from the second payout onward, and all related rules: Safety Threshold, consistency, payout caps, minimums, and profit split.

First payout requirements (one-time only)

To request your first payout, all of the following must be met.

• Safety Threshold (cushion)
  The Safety Threshold is a key risk-management feature in PA accounts. It acts as a protective reserve, ensuring traders build a financial cushion before making withdrawals.

• The Safety Threshold applies only to PA accounts (not Challenges).
• It represents a minimum balance that must be reached and exceeded before a payout can be requested.
• The threshold amount is not withdrawable during the simulated PA phase and must remain protected.
• Until the account balance exceeds this threshold, withdrawals cannot be made.

Standard Safety Threshold (Cushion) — Prime and Standard Frees

• Minimum 8 trading days
  You must complete at least 8 trading days before submitting your first payout request.

• At least 5 positive days of $150 or more
  You must also have a minimum of 5 positive days, each with at least $150 profit.

• Flipping allowed only to complete the 8 days
  If you already have your 5 positive days, you may use up to 2 flipping days to reach the full 8-day requirement.
  • Flipping is only allowed to complete trading days.
  • Flipping does not replace positive days.

• Consistency Rule
  Traders must comply with the 20 percent Consistency Rule (or 30 % if the add-on was selected). This ensures profits are built steadily rather than concentrated in a small number of trades.
  For the first payout request, when traders must both build the Safety Threshold and generate withdrawable profit, consistency is calculated from the very first PA trading day, including the period used to establish the cushion.

• Evaluations do not have consistency.
• Consistency starts only in the PA.

• For Prime and standard Frees PAs:

• Base consistency: 20 %
• With add-on: 30 %

Requirements from the second payout onward

Starting with your second payout, the process becomes simpler.

• Safety Threshold (cushion)
  The Safety Threshold rules remain in effect for all payouts.

• Payouts can only be requested once the account is above the Safety Threshold.
• The threshold amount must always remain protected and cannot be withdrawn.

Standard Safety Threshold (Cushion) — Prime and Standard Frees

• Minimum 5 positive days of $150 or more
  From the second payout onward, 8 total trading days are no longer required. 

You only need:

•  5 positive days
•  Each with at least $150 profit
•  No Flipping allowed 

• Consistency Rule
  Continue respecting the Consistency Rule (20 % standard, or 30 %  with the add-on). After the first payout, since the Safety Threshold is already secured, consistency is measured over the required 5 operational positive days, or over the number of trading days needed to reach the profit amount you plan to withdraw.

• Evaluations do not have consistency.
• Consistency starts only in the PA.

• For Prime and standard Frees PAs:

• Base consistency: 20%
• With add-on: 30%
Consistency is measured over the operational days used to reach each payout.

Payout minimums and caps

These limits apply to Prime and standard Frees. On these accounts, payouts are only allowed from profits that are ABOVE the Safety Threshold (cushion). The cushion itself is not withdrawable and must always remain protected.

Safety Threshold + Payout Limits (All-in-One View)
Prime and Standard Frees — withdrawals only from profits above the cushion.

• Traders may submit multiple payout requests per month as long as each request is between $500 and the maximum per-request limit, and the total withdrawn does not exceed the monthly cap.
• Every payout is calculated strictly on profits ABOVE the Safety Threshold. If the account is not above the cushion, no payout can be requested.
• The Safety Threshold must remain fully intact after every payout.

Examples by account size
• 25K Account: withdrawals from $500 up to $1,000 per request, with a $2,000 monthly limit, only on profits above the $1,600 cushion.
• 50K Account: withdrawals from $500 up to $1,500 per request, with a $3,000 monthly limit, only on profits above the $2,600 cushion.
• 100K Account: withdrawals from $500 up to $2,000 per request, with a $4,000 monthly limit, only on profits above the $3,100 cushion.

Important difference vs. Frees accounts purchased from December 8, 2025 through January 1, 2026
Frees accounts allowed to withdraw up to the maximum per request even if that amount comes from within the cushion, once the Safety Threshold is reached.

No monthly cap after 4 full-cap months

After 4 consecutive months of withdrawing the full monthly cap, your account becomes uncapped. From that point forward, you may withdraw any amount your balance allows, respecting the minimum per request.

Profit split

• 85 percent to the trader
• 15 percent to Taurus

This applies from the first payout onward.
