First 5 Payouts & Safety Net Rules
This page explains the **special payout restrictions** that apply during your first five payouts on a funded account at EdgeProp. These rules are designed to protect your account balance and enforce disciplined withdrawals while you build consistency.
Key Reminder. For the first 5 payouts, you may withdraw a maximum of $2,500 per payout, and your account must always respect the Safety Net threshold after withdrawal.
1) Safety Net Requirement
The Safety Net is defined as:
Starting Balance + Trailing Threshold + $100
At all times, even after a payout, your remaining account balance must not fall below this Safety Net.
- 50K account: $50,000 + $2,500 + $100 = $52,600
- 100K account: $100,000 + $3,500 + $100 = $103,600
- 150K account: $150,000 + $4,500 + $100 = $154,600
- 200K account: $200,000 + $6,000 + $100 = $206,100
Example. On a 50K account, if your balance is $55,200, you may withdraw $2,500. Remaining balance = $52,700, which is still above the $52,600 Safety Net.
2) First 5 Payouts — $2,500 Cap
For payouts 1 through 5:
- Maximum payout = $2,500 per request.
- Requests above $2,500 will be adjusted down to $2,500.
- Balance after withdrawal must still respect the Safety Net (see above).
After the 5th payout: The $2,500 cap is removed. You may withdraw higher amounts, provided you still meet Safety Net and Consistency rules.
3) Numerical Examples
| Account | Current Balance | Payout Request | Allowed? | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50K | $55,200 | $2,500 | ✅ Yes | Remaining balance = $52,700 (above $52,600 Safety Net). |
| 50K | $54,500 | $2,500 | ❌ No | Remaining balance = $52,000, below the $52,600 Safety Net. |
| 100K | $108,000 | $3,000 | ❌ Adjusted | Max payout during first 5 = $2,500, even if Safety Net is respected. |
| 150K | $162,000 | $2,500 | ✅ Yes | Remaining balance = $159,500, above $154,600 Safety Net. |
4) Quick Checklist Before Requesting
- ✅ This is payout 1–5 → cap = $2,500.
- ✅ Remaining balance after withdrawal ≥ Safety Net.
- ✅ Consistency Target (40% best-day rule) respected.
- ✅ No active breaches (scaling, MAE, hedging, automation).
