The check is 15% of investor profit above the high-water mark
The published payout is a 15% performance fee on allocated seed and on third-party investor capital. Distributions are quarterly, and they require the investor equity to be above the high-water mark. A $40,000 gain above that mark produces a $6,000 fee. A quarter that only recovers last quarter's giveback can be a busy statement and a zero fee.
Scale changes the fee base. More seed means the same 15% applies to a larger profit pool, which is why the D-Score and the monthly allocation weight matter as much as the win rate. Start on Venasri and track the high-water mark next to the trading result so a green personal week is not confused with a payable quarter.
Ten trading days is a floor on the record, not a suggestion
The minimum is 10 trading days. A single session that makes the 5% Phase 1 target, $5,000 on $100,000, does not finish the record. You still need the other sessions. Phase 2 lists a 0% profit target, so the second stage is not another hurdle of gain. It is more time inside the same risk engine.
Ten days at one planned trade a day is about 10 to 16 risk units if you allow a few extra attempts. At 0.50%, or $500, the target math and the calendar math finally agree. A trader who fires eight trades on Monday and disappears has activity, not a 10-day record.
Twelve attributes score the shape, not a single profit cap
There is no classic best-day consistency percentage in the firm table. The book is scored continuously on 12 DARWIN attributes. Risk Stability (Rs) and Capacity (Cp) sit in that set with Dc, Ds, Mc, Os, Ra, Pf, La, Ex, R+, and R-. A lot jump hits Rs and Cp first. Experience and the return-profile codes fill in as the sample grows.
A 50% best-day rule would be a simple fraction. This score is a profile. One enormous Tuesday can help profit and still hurt Rs if the rest of the month is tiny, or if the size that day was triple the size on the other nine days. Bot controls that freeze the lot remove the easiest way to damage Rs and Cp.
Protect the high-water mark with a daily flatten
Equity Guard at $2,500 on a $100,000 reference stops a single day from donating half the month to the 6.5% VaR target. A quarter above the high-water mark is a sequence of days that did not do that. The 15% fee is the reward for the sequence, paid after the quarter, not after the best afternoon.
Drawdown toward 10%, or $10,000, lowers seed weight and can shrink the very capital the 15% is charged on. Keeping the login open is the firm's promise. Keeping the fee base large is the trader's job. Stable 0.50% risk across the 10 days is the practical version of that job.
