If I have a hard breach in my Funded Account and there are gains in the account, do I forfeit those gains?
Yes. If you have a hard breach in your funded account, any accumulated gains in the account will
be forfeited unless you have purchased the Payout Protector add-on. Please review the FAQs
for additional details.
What is Payout Protector?
Payout Protector is an optional add-on that enables you to still receive a payout on any gains in
your account, despite the fact that you breached your account (provided all other conditions for
a withdrawal are met and your account is not otherwise in violation of our Terms and
Conditions).
How does Payout Protector work?
Example:
Assume you are trading a $100,000 Funded account and have generated $8,000 in gains at the
time you breach your account.
Without Payout Protector, the account would be closed and the $8,000 would be forfeited.
With Payout Protector, the account would still be closed due to the breach, but you would still
receive your portion of the $8,000 gain made in the account.
Does Payout Protector prevent my account from breaching?
No. The account will still be considered breached if a rule violation occurs. Payout Protector
does not remove or alter risk parameters. It only protects your gain from being forfeited in the
event of an account breach.
Is Payout Protector required?
No. It is entirely optional and must be selected at the time of purchase.
