Eighty percent, ten business days
The standard split is 80%. The cadence is every 10 business days. There is no published ladder in the rule card that says the account jumps by a fixed percent after payout three. What is published is that capital increases when milestones are met without breaching the 4% daily floor. Treat any screenshot of a "double every month" ladder as someone else's story until it is on your contract. The number you can plan around is 80 cents of each funded dollar, paid on that 10-day clock.
Phase 1 still has to be passed first: $8,000 on $100K, then $5,000 in Phase 2, under a $4,000 daily loss and an $8,000 static maximum. Start on Venasri with those four figures stored before you think about the split. A trader who sizes for an imagined larger allocation during Phase 1 is spending the $379 attempt on a payout that does not exist yet.
The cap that cancels a clean payout week
Funded floating loss on one idea is capped at 1% to 2%. Combined tickets on the same pair above 1.5% to 2.0% are the named breach, $1,500 to $2,000 on $100K. You can finish the 10 business days with the $4,000 daily line never tagged and still be ineligible because Tuesday's gold stack floated $1,800. Scaling does not average that away. The next allocation, if the firm offers one, assumes this cap was respected.
Equity Guard should flatten the day at $3,250, and a separate warning should fire at $1,500 of open loss on one symbol. That second alarm is the scaling rule, not the daily rule. Put both on Equity Guard. If you trade a $200K funded book later, 2% becomes $4,000 and the daily line becomes $8,000. Do not leave the $100K alarms in place after a size change.
Instant's 20% score is not the 2-Step payout
Mini Instant and Instant use a trailing 3% maximum, $3,000 on $100K, plus a 20% consistency score. The 2-Step evaluation does not carry that score. Traders who pass the 2-Step and then buy Instant because the fee felt low are under a new contract. One large day that would have been a fine Step 2 session can stall an Instant payout because of the 20% score. Read the product name on the payout request.
News does not pause for a payout week. The funded window is still 2 to 5 minutes before and after red-folder events. A stop-out there counts against the $4,000 and can be the loss that makes the 10-day sample look like a breach. Weekend holding is allowed on the evaluation models. If the funded contract you signed still allows it, the Sunday gap counts too.
Grow the record, not the lot, first
Stay at $500 risk, 0.50%, through the first 10 business days even if the account is up $3,000. Sixteen such winners were the Phase 1 math, and the funded book does not need a new math to "deserve" the 80%. Bot Control can lock the lot and pause the news window so a payout week does not become the week you experimented with 0.80 gold lots.
A 0.80 lot gold position with a 50-pip stop is about $4,000 at $10 per pip on 0.10 lots. That single ticket is the whole daily loss and double the funded idea cap. It is also the opposite of a scaling record. The firm can increase capital when the 4% floor stays clean. Your job until then is to keep ideas inside $1,500 and days inside $3,250 of loss.
