Profit split

A profit split defines how earnings from a funded account are divided between the trader and the firm. A 90/10 split means the trader keeps 90% of profits and the firm keeps 10%; many firms now advertise up to 100% on the first payout or up to a certain dollar amount as a marketing incentive.

For example, on a 90% split a trader who books $10,000 in profit receives a $9,000 payout while the firm retains $1,000. Some firms increase the trader's share over time or as the account grows under a scaling plan, rewarding consistency with a more favourable split.

A headline profit split is only meaningful alongside the payout rules. A 90% split is worth little if the firm imposes a strict consistency rule, long payout cycles, or high thresholds before you can withdraw — so always read the split and the withdrawal terms together.
