Three days is a real minimum
The evaluation wants 3 trading days. A brilliant Tuesday does not finish the file. You still owe two more days, and each of those days can lose 5% on Pro, $5,000 on $100K, or 4% on One, $4,000. The extra days are exposure, not a formality. Size them like the first day. People pass the hard day and then gamble the remaining days because the calendar feels like paperwork.
Register on Venasri and tick a day only when it was a real session. The reset is 00:00 ACG Markets time. A trade held across midnight can touch two dates. Know which date the firm will count.
80% on a 14-day cycle
The standard split is 80%, paid every 14 calendar days. That path is the simple one. On-demand is available with a 40% consistency score, meaning the best day cannot dominate the profit. Maximum lot exposure is enforced on funded accounts. The example is 25 lots on $100K. A payout request on a book that printed 25 lots can die in compliance even when the 40% math is clean.
Phase 2 is 5%, $5,000 on $100K, the same cash as one full Pro day. You can reach the second target and then lose it in a single session before the 14-day clock even starts. Equity Guard belongs under the $5,000 day the whole time, including the days after the pass.
How 40% shows up in dollars
If cycle profit is $8,000, 40% is $3,200. If cycle profit is $5,000, 40% is $2,000. The percent is of the profit you are asking to be paid, not of the starting balance. A $2,500 day on a $5,000 cycle is 50% and stalls on-demand. The same $2,500 day on a cycle that has grown to $10,000 is 25% and clears. Adding more modest days is how you dilute a hot start. You cannot delete the hot start.
Bot Control can cap new risk once the day's profit is approaching the 40% share you still have room for. On Pro the day also dies at $5,000 of loss. A cap on winners does not replace the cap on losers.
The loss contract under the payout
Alpha Pro's maximum is a static 10%, $10,000. Alpha One trails 6% at the end of the day. Neither number is waived because a payout is close. The higher-of equity rule at 00:00 can raise the next day's loss line after a winner you held. Flat enough of it that the best day stays inside 40% and the next day still has a full allowance.
Weekend holds are allowed on Pro and Swing. A Sunday gap can be the best day or the worst day. Funded Pro still has the 2-minute news window. Swing may trade the release. The 80% check does not care which product you used. The compliance desk does. Match the payout request to the product on the receipt. The fee was $497 on $100K. The split is the reason people pay it. The 3 days and the 40% score are the reason the check waits.
