Is there any buffer requirement on the 1-Step Infinity Program?

What is the buffer release?

Every time you reach 15 approved payouts on the same funded account, 30% of your total account buffer is unlocked and added to your payable balance. This is a reward for sustained, consistent performance — the longer you trade and request successfully, the more of the held buffer you get back.

How does the buffer work in the first place?

The buffer is a portion of your account balance held in reserve to protect against drawdown. It starts at 2% and increases by 2 percentage points every 3 approved payouts. It is not lost — it simply sits aside while you trade. The buffer release is how you eventually access it.

How is the released amount calculated?

At the point you hit your 15th approved payout, we calculate the total buffer held on your account at that time and release 30% of it to you as a payable reward.

Example — $40,000 account:

By payout 15, your buffer has stepped up to 10% of the account balance:

10% × $40,000 = $4,000 total buffer held

30% of that buffer is released:

30% × $4,000 = $1,200 released to you

That $1,200 is paid out at your current profit split rate and is subject to the same processing rules as a standard reward request.

Does the released amount count as one of my payouts?

No. The buffer release is a separate disbursement and does not count toward your payout ladder or advance your split tier.

Does this happen again after payout 15?

Yes. The same release applies at every 15-payout milestone on the same account — payout 15, payout 30, payout 45, and so on. The buffer amount at the point of each milestone is used to calculate the release at that time.

Does it reset if I get a payout rejected?

A rejected request does not count toward the 15-payout milestone, the same way it does not advance your split tier. Only approved payouts count.
