The5ers: Payouts & profit split
On High Stakes the first payout needs the funded account to have generated at least $150 profit and been active at least 14 days; after that it's bi-weekly (every 14 days). Split scales up to 100%, and you can leave profit in the account to grow your drawdown buffer. Withdrawals run via Rise, bank transfer or crypto.
The gotcha
Because the max-drawdown floor is set off your balance, withdrawing profit shrinks your loss buffer — there's a real trade-off between cashing out and trading room.
What happens if you break it
Breaching this doesn't necessarily close the account, but it can disqualify the payout you were trading toward — you keep trading, the profit doesn't get paid.
