On Daily Payouts, at least 50% of every payout request must be profit generated since your last approved payout.
Turn that around and it is easier to use: you can request up to twice the profit you have made since your last payout. The minimum of $500 and the maximum for your account size still apply on top.
For your first payout there is nothing to compare against, so all profit above the buffer counts as new profit.
You may have met this rule before
If you hold an EOD, Flex or Instant Classic account created after 7 August 2026, this is the same new-profit requirement described in our recurring payouts article. The rule is identical. The only difference on Daily is the cadence: instead of applying between monthly payout windows, it applies between requests that can be 24 hours apart.
Why it exists
Without it, a trader could build a buffer from one or two large days and then keep withdrawing the maximum every 24 hours while making nothing new. The rule ties the pace of your payouts to the pace of your trading, which is the point of a daily payout product.
Worked examples on the Daily 50K Plan
Buffer $2,100, minimum balance to request $52,100, maximum per payout $1,000.
You made $700 since your last payout.
Twice $700 is $1,400. The 50K cap is $1,000. You can request up to $1,000.
You made $300 since your last payout.
Twice $300 is $600. That is above the $500 minimum, so you can request between $500 and $600.
You made $200 since your last payout.
Twice $200 is $400, which is below the $500 minimum. You cannot request yet. Keep trading until you have made at least $250 since your last payout.
You made nothing since your last payout, but your balance is $54,000.
There is no new profit, so nothing can be requested, however far above the buffer your balance sits. The extra profit stays in the account and supports your equity.
What happens if I do not meet it
The request is declined. This is not a breach, no profit is deducted under this rule, and your account stays open. Keep trading and submit a new request once at least half of the amount you want is profit made since your last payout.
This is not the same as the 60 second rule
Both are checked at payout request and both talk about 50% of profit since your last payout, so they are easy to confuse.
The progression rule is about when the profit was made. At least half of your request has to come from profit made since the last payout.
The 60 second rule is about how the profit was made. At least half of your net profit since the last payout has to come from trades held longer than 60 seconds. Failing this one also deducts the profit from trades held 60 seconds or less.
A request has to satisfy both.
