Detailed information regarding 1-Step Infinity account type
The Maximum Daily Drawdown Limit for the 1-Step Infinity Evaluation is 3% of the Initial Balance.
Example 1:
For a $40,000 1-Step Infinity Evaluation, the Daily Drawdown is 3% of the Initial Balance.
Day 1:
Starting Balance/Equity: $40,000
Allowed Daily Drawdown: 3% of $40,000 = $1,200 (stop-out limit = $38,800)
Example 2:
Day 2:
End of Day Balance (Day 1): $44,000
End of Day Equity (Day 1): $43,000
At 5 PM ET, if unrealised positions are open, 3% of the Initial Balance will be deducted from the higher of the two values (Balance or Equity).
In Example 2 above, since Balance is higher than Equity, the stop-out limit will become:
$44,000 – (3% of $40,000) = $44,000 – $1,200 = $42,800
If either Equity or Balance reaches this limit, it will result in a breach of the Daily Drawdown Limit.
Example 3:
Day 3:
End of Day Balance (Day 2): $41,000
End of Day Equity (Day 2): $46,000
In Example 3 above, since Equity is higher than Balance, the stop-out limit will become:
$46,000 – (3% of $40,000) = $46,000 – $1,200 = $44,800
Since the Balance of $41,000 is lower than the stop-out limit of $44,800, this will cause an immediate breach of the Daily Drawdown Limit.
Breaching this limit will cause the account to be violated, closed, and disabled for trading.
The Overall Drawdown Limit for the 1-Step Infinity Evaluation is 3% of the Initial Balance. This is a static drawdown limit, meaning the stop-out limit does not increase as the trader makes profits.
Example:
Account Size: $40,000
Overall Drawdown Limit: 3%
Day 1:
Starting Balance/Equity: $40,000
Overall Drawdown: $1,200
Stop-Out Limit: $38,800 ($40,000 – $1,200)
Day 2:
Starting Balance/Equity: $42,000
Overall Drawdown: $1,200
Stop-Out Limit: $38,800 ($40,000 – $1,200)
Even though the account has made a profit, the stop-out limit remains fixed at $38,800 throughout the evaluation and until the first approved payout on the funded account.
Please Note: After the first approved funded payout, the Overall Drawdown stop-out limit moves to the Initial Balance of the account. This adjustment occurs only once, and the limit remains fixed at the Initial Balance permanently, regardless of any future profits or payouts.
If either Balance or Equity reaches the applicable Overall Drawdown stop-out limit, it will result in a breach.
Breaching this limit will cause the account to be violated, closed, and disabled for trading.
For 1-Step Infinity accounts, there’s no consistency rule in the Evaluation Phase and Funded Phase.
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.
To request a payout on your 1-Step Infinity Account, you must meet the following requirements:
1. Minimum Payout Amount
The minimum payout amount is $50.
Your account must have sufficient eligible profit to meet this minimum while maintaining the required balance buffer after the payout.
2. Maximum Payout Limit
Each payout request is subject to a maximum gross payout amount based on your account size:
|
Account Size |
Maximum Gross Payout |
|---|---|
|
$5,000 |
$250 |
|
$10,000 |
$500 |
|
$20,000 |
$750 |
|
$40,000 |
$1,000 |
The maximum payout limit applies to each request, not to the total amount you can withdraw throughout the lifetime of the account.
3. Minimum Balance Requirement (2% Buffer)
After every payout, your account balance must remain at or above the required minimum balance, which initially starts at 2% above the Initial Balance.
|
Account Size |
Initial Minimum Balance After Payout |
|---|---|
|
$5,000 |
$5,100 |
|
$10,000 |
$10,200 |
|
$20,000 |
$20,400 |
|
$40,000 |
$40,800 |
For example, on a $40,000 account, you must maintain at least $40,800 after your payout has been deducted.
Please Note: The minimum balance buffer increases by an additional 2 percentage points after every three approved payouts. This means the required buffer is 2% for payouts 1–3, 4% for payouts 4–6, 6% for payouts 7–9, and continues increasing in the same manner.
For example, on a $40,000 account, the minimum balance required after payout increases from $40,800 to $41,600 beginning with the fourth payout, and to $42,400 beginning with the seventh payout.
4. Profit Split
Your profit split increases as you receive more approved payouts:
The profit split applies to the gross payout amount. For example, a $1,000 gross payout at an 80% profit split means you receive $800 before any applicable processing fees, while the full $1,000 is deducted from your trading account.
Only approved payouts count towards your profit split progression.
5. Minimum Profit Requirement for Subsequent Payouts
Starting from your second payout, you must generate at least 1% of your Initial Balance in new profit above the balance remaining after your previous approved payout.
|
Account Size |
Minimum New Profit Required |
|---|---|
|
$5,000 |
$50 |
|
$10,000 |
$100 |
|
$20,000 |
$200 |
|
$40,000 |
$400 |
For example, if your $40,000 account balance is $44,000 after your first payout, you must increase it to at least $44,400 before becoming eligible for another payout.
You must also continue to satisfy the minimum payout amount and the applicable balance buffer requirement.
6. Compliance With Trading Rules
Your account must remain in compliance with all applicable trading rules, including the 3% Maximum Daily Drawdown and 3% Overall Drawdown limits. An account that breaches either limit is ineligible for payout.
Payout Availability and Processing
Payouts may be requested on any day, including weekends, provided all eligibility requirements are met.
All payout requests are subject to review and approval. Trading will be paused while a payout request is under review.
Please Note: After your first approved funded payout, the Overall Drawdown stop-out limit moves to your Initial Balance and remains fixed there permanently. This adjustment occurs only once, regardless of future profits or payouts.
The 1-Step Infinity Program offers a Maximum Allocation of $40,000 across evaluation and funded phase.
The Simulated Profit Target for the 1-Step Infinity Evaluation is 9%.
Example:
Account size: $40,000
Profit Target: $3,600 (9% of $40,000)
The trader receives 80% on their first four approved payouts, 85% on payout five and 90% from payout six onward. The ladder applies to the funded account. A rejected request does not advance it.
