# Monthly Profit Cap (10%)

To preserve the model while rewarding consistent performers, we apply the following payout controls:

**Monthly Profit Cap (10%)**

Each funded trader is subject to a maximum 10% profit cap per calendar month.

* Once the trader reaches 10% profit relative to their account size, the account is automatically disabled.
* Trading resumes at the start of the next calendar month.
* This cap is enforced to prevent a small number of traders from draining the pool disproportionately.

> Example: On a $50,000 account, once $5,000 in simulated profit is hit for the month, trading is paused until the 1st of the following month.
