Payouts are subject to tax regulations, and it is solely the trader's responsibility to handle any applicable taxes. You will be classified as an independent contractor for tax purposes, and taxes will be deducted from your payout amount.
Max Trailing Drawdown:
After your first payout, the maximum drawdown will be locked to your initial balance, meaning your maximum allowable loss will be the amount you started with.
Example: You take an account from $100,000 to $120,000 and request a withdrawal of $16,000. This withdrawal would reduce the account balance to $104,000, and your maximum trailing drawdown would be locked at $100,000. As a result, you would have a maximum potential loss of $4,000 on the account before violating the maximum trailing drawdown rule.
