The payout process is built for traders who trade. Two behavioural patterns indicate an account being used to extract payouts rather than to demonstrate ability: payout requests submitted at abnormal velocity, and all trading stopping the instant eligibility is reached.
What may trigger a manual compliance review:
Abnormal request velocity: submitting payout requests through exploitative, high-velocity behavioural patterns.
Eligibility dormancy: abruptly and completely ceasing trading the moment payout eligibility is reached, where the clear purpose is to lock in gains while avoiding any further risk.
What is allowed:
Requesting a payout as soon as you are eligible = ALLOWED
Reducing size or stopping after a strong run, as risk management = ALLOWED
Not trading because of a holiday, illness, or poor market conditions = ALLOWED
Protecting a good month by trading more selectively = ALLOWED
Sound risk management is not penalised. What is reviewed is the account that trades only until eligibility is reached, goes dormant, and repeats that cycle.
