## Who is the Stream account for?

For traders who want to withdraw every trading day, above the buffer, with no consistency rule once funded. At checkout you choose the evaluation drawdown and whether to keep a daily loss limit; the funded drawdown then trails intraday.

## How do Stream payouts work?

Request a payout on any trading day: everything above the buffer is withdrawable, from $500, with no cap per request, as long as net profit since the last payout is positive. If a single day reaches the maximum daily profit, the account moves to Live at once and simulated profit above the buffer is paid up to $15,000.

## Questions about Stream accounts

### How often can a Stream account request a payout?

Every trading day. Everything above the buffer ($103,100 on a 100K) is withdrawable from $500, with no cap per request, as long as the net since the last payout is positive.

### What do the Stream options change?

At checkout you choose the evaluation drawdown, intraday (cheaper) or end of day, and whether to keep the Daily Loss Limit ($1,800 on a 100K) on or off. Once funded the drawdown is always intraday and the Daily Loss Limit choice carries over.

### Can a funded Stream account trade red-folder news?

No. A funded Stream account must be flat from one minute before to one minute after NFP, FOMC, CPI and the other red-folder releases. Holding through is a hard breach. During the evaluation, news trading is allowed.

Simulated accounts until Live. Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss.
