Payout cap, buffer and lock
The three limits that set how much comes out of each payout and where the funded account floor stops.
Your plan's values
Three values shape your payout on EXL Flex 50K: the cap (the most you can take per payout), the share of profit you can take out and the lock (where the max loss floor stops rising).
- Cap on the 1st and 2nd payout
- US$ 1,250
- Cap from the 3rd payout
- US$ 2,000
- Minimum payout
- US$ 500
- How much you can withdraw
- Up to 50%
- of accumulated profit
- Floor lock
- US$ 50,100
- starting balance + US$ 100
Payout cap: the most per payout
Even with more profit, every payout has a cap: US$ 1,250 on the 1st and 2nd payout, and US$ 2,000 from the 3rd. The cap lets the account grow along with your payouts, without draining your cushion early on. Anything above the cap stays in the account for the next cycles.
Buffer and profit share: what can come out
On EXL Flex 50K, there is no buffer: you withdraw up to 50% of your accumulated profit, and the rest stays in the account as a cushion.
Example
On EXL Flex 50K, 1st payout: your accumulated profit is US$ 3,750. 50% of it comes to US$ 1,875, but the 1st payout cap is US$ 1,250. You withdraw US$ 1,250, and the rest stays in the account.
Lock: where the floor stops
In the funded account, the Max Loss Limit floor rises with record closes, but stops rising at US$ 50,100. After that, it stays fixed: the profit you build above the lock is your cushion, and the limit no longer chases it.
The floor follows the highest closing balance and never goes down.
Example
On EXL Flex 50K: the floor starts at US$ 48,000. A session closes at US$ 52,100: the floor rises to US$ 50,100 and locks. If the balance later closes at US$ 54,100, the floor stays at US$ 50,100.
Payouts and the floor
The payout is deducted from the account balance, and the floor does not move down with it. Before you request one, check the dashboard for the distance between the post-payout balance and the floor.
