How much more before your payout?

A consistency rule caps how big your best day can be as a share of your total. Here's what it asks of you from here.

    What these numbers mean

    Keep every day under is the one to watch. A day bigger than your current best becomes your new best, and at a 30% cap every extra $1 of best day needs $3.33 more of total. A big day feels like progress and moves the finish line further away.

    The rule exists so a payout is earned over several days rather than carried by one lucky one. It's the terms of the product, not a trap — the trap is only finding out after the target.

    How it's calculated
    share = best day / total total needed = best day / cap to request = larger of (total needed, target) still to make = to request - total days = still to make / typical day (if your typical day beats your best, it becomes the best)

    All of it runs in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.

    What this can't tell you
    • Red days. Each one adds its size to what you still need to make.
    • Your firm's exact wording. Some measure against the target, some reset the window after a payout, some count only winning days. Check your rulebook.
    • Other payout rules. Minimum days, payout caps and buffers still apply.

    Educational tool only. This is arithmetic on numbers you type in — it is not investment advice, it does not predict anything, and it has no opinion on what you should trade. Trading futures involves substantial risk of loss and most people who try it lose money. Past results, including your own, do not predict future results. Verify contract specifications with your broker and your account rules with your firm; both change.
