Hantec Trader Scaling Plan and Funded Growth From the First Payout

Direct Technical Answer

Hantec Trader scaling plan and funded account growth pays an 80% base split, or 90% with the add-on, every 14 days, or every 7 days with the faster cycle. Extra capital posts only after milestones that keep the 5% daily balance floor intact at 00:00 Hantec MT5 time.

Ninety percent of a $12,000 Hantec Trader profit is $10,800, and the standard 80% split on that same profit is $9,600. The add-on changes the check. It leaves the day where it was. Enhanced 2-Step still uses 5% of the balance recorded at 00:00 Hantec MT5 server time, and the static maximum is still 10% of the starting balance.

What 80%, 90%, 14 days, and 7 days each change

The published split is 80%. The add-on raises the trader share of the same profit to 90%. Withdrawals sit on a 14-day cycle, and the faster add-on shortens the wait to 7 days. Those are commercial terms on a program from the Hantec Markets group in London, whose prop desk launched in 2023 on the back of a broker franchise that has been around for about 30 years. They do not rewrite the risk unit.

On a $100,000 Enhanced account the day is still $5,000 and the static floor is still $90,000 of equity, measured from the start. When a milestone adds capital, rebuild 0.50% from the new balance that morning. A trader who keeps risking $500 after the book becomes $150,000 has quietly dropped to about 0.33%. A trader who keeps the old lot size has done the opposite. Open a Venasri account before the scale date so the cash unit changes with the balance.

Enhanced room and Express room are different books

Enhanced 2-Step is the flagship path: 10% in Phase 1, 5% in Phase 2, a 5% day, and a static 10% maximum. The published minimum trading-day count is zero, and Enhanced and Express carry no consistency score, so a fast pass is allowed. Express 1-Step tightens the day to 4% and the maximum to a trailing 6%. On $100,000 that pair is a $4,000 day and a $6,000 trail.

Instant funding is a third contract. Expert Advisors are permitted on Enhanced and Express. Instant is manual. A scale plan that assumes a bot can sit on every Hantec tier will break the Instant contract on the first automated ticket. Keep personal automation on the evaluation that allows it, and keep the update pace well under the 2,000 order-update ceiling for the day.

The 00:00 anchor is the day-start balance

Hantec Trader takes the daily loss from the balance at 00:00 MT5 server time. A floating winner does not lift that anchor. A closed winner does, because it has become balance, and the next 5% is computed on a larger number. That helps after a scale. It hurts if a withdrawal has not posted and the lot still assumes yesterday's cash.

Weekend holding is sold as an option on the contract. If you bought it, Friday's open profit is still a float until it closes. Sunday gaps hit equity against the balance anchor for the new day. News is permitted in the evaluation. Funded accounts add a two-minute restriction around high-impact releases. A stop that slips in that window still debits the 5% line. Bot controls should refuse a fresh funded ticket inside that window.

Flatten Enhanced near 4.25% before you ask for more capital

Equity Guard should flatten an Enhanced book at 4.25% daily loss. On $100,000 that is $4,250, which leaves $750 before the official $5,000 print. Express daily loss is 4%, so the guard on that product belongs near 3.25%, or $3,250 on $100,000. The Enhanced number on a 1-step book arrives after the firm has already closed the day.

The static 10% floor does not chase the high on Enhanced. You can be up $8,000 and still hold the original $10,000 of lifetime room, which is how good weeks turn into sloppy lots. Express will have trailed. Read the product name on the scale request. The 90% add-on does not restore a breached day, and a 7-day payout cycle does not move the 00:00 balance clock.

Frequently Asked Questions: Hantec Trader Scaling Plan and Funded Growth From the First Payout

What profit split does Hantec Trader pay after a scale-up?

The base split is 80%, and the add-on raises it to 90%. Standard withdrawals run every 14 days. The faster add-on shortens that to 7 days. Neither add-on changes the 5% daily loss on Enhanced 2-Step or the static 10% maximum from the starting balance.

Does a larger Hantec Trader allocation loosen the daily loss?

The percentage stays 5% on Enhanced and 4% on Express. The dollar line grows with the new balance, so a $5,000 day on $100,000 is the wrong cash figure on the next allocation. Rebuild the 0.50% unit from the posted balance the same morning.

Can an Expert Advisor run on every Hantec Trader tier?

Expert Advisors are allowed on Enhanced 2-Step and Express 1-Step. Instant accounts are manual. There is also a ceiling of 2,000 order updates in a day. A bot that rewrites a stop on every tick can fail a review without ever printing the 5% loss.

Where should Equity Guard sit before a Hantec Trader scale request?

On Enhanced, flatten near 4.25% daily loss, which is $4,250 on $100,000 against a $5,000 official line. On Express, use about 3.25% because the official day is 4%. Recalculate when the balance changes at 00:00 server time.
