Profit Share

When you pass a Proovly challenge, you graduate to a seeded account — a real MT5 account at the same broker, funded from our treasury. From that moment on, your trading is split 70/30 in your favor on every payout cycle.

The math

At the end of each payout cycle (monthly, by default), we look at the seeded account’s gross realised profit for the period:

gross_profit = closing_balance - opening_balance - deposits + withdrawals

If gross_profit > 0:

trader_payout = gross_profit × 0.70
platform_cut  = gross_profit × 0.30

The trader payout is sent to your linked wallet in USDC on Base. The platform cut stays in the treasury and funds the next wave of seeded accounts.

If gross_profit ≤ 0, there is no payout that cycle — but you also owe nothing. Losses on a seeded account are absorbed by the treasury. You never write us a check.

Tiered starting balances

Your first seeded account size depends on the tier you passed at:

Passed tier	Seeded account start	Max scale-up
Bronze	$2,500	$15k
Silver	$5,000	$30k
Gold	$10,000	$75k

Scale-up happens automatically once you cross specific gross-profit thresholds on the seeded account (see below). You don’t have to request a scale-up or re-apply — the rules engine does it.

Scale-up rules

Every time your seeded account crosses a cumulative gross-profit multiple of 25% of its current size, and the 30% platform cut has been paid from that cycle, the seeded account is topped up to the next tier-specific size.

Example walkthrough (Silver passed trader, $5,000 seeded start):

1. Month 1: you trade to $5,900 gross. Payout: $630 to you, $270 to platform. Account reset to $5,000.
2. Month 2: $6,100 gross. Payout: $770 to you, $330 to platform. Account reset to $5,000. Cumulative gross crosses $2,000 (40%) but the scale threshold is $1,250 (25%), which hit last cycle. On reset, the treasury tops the account up to $7,500 (next level).
3. Month 3: you trade the $7,500 account. Same 70/30 split, same rules.

Scale-up is one-way within a tier. If you blow the newly-scaled account to a drawdown breach, it resets to your tier’s starting size, not the pre-breach size. Drawdown discipline matters more the higher you climb.

Drawdown rules on seeded accounts

The same drawdown rules from your challenge still apply:

• Daily drawdown: 5% of peak-equity-today
• Max drawdown: 10% of peak-equity-all-time

If you breach either one on the seeded account:

• Daily breach: you’re frozen from opening new positions for the remainder of the UTC day. Existing positions stay open. Drawdown resets at 00:00 UTC.
• Max breach: the seeded account is closed. Your standing as a Proovly funded trader ends. You can re-enter the challenge pipeline at any tier and start over. Your ELO rating takes a hit but does not reset to zero.

Profit target? There isn’t one. On the seeded account you’re not trying to hit a number — you’re trying to grow the account as much as possible under the drawdown rules. Trade however you want within those limits.

When payouts happen

• Cycle length: monthly, evaluated at 00:00 UTC on the 1st of each month
• Payout delay: within 48 hours of cycle close, funds land in your linked wallet on Base
• Minimum payout: $10 USDC (below this, the profit rolls to the next cycle)
• Currency: USDC on Base, always. No other chains, no other tokens, no bank transfers

If you want to change your payout wallet, you can do so from your dashboard, but the new wallet doesn’t take effect until the next cycle — in-flight payouts go to the address of record at cycle start.

What we don’t do

• No minimum trading days on seeded accounts. Unlike the challenge, you can trade zero days in a month if you want. No payout if there’s no profit, no penalty if there’s no trade.
• No refundable fees. The challenge entry fee is spent. You’re on a seeded account now. There’s no maintenance fee, no platform subscription, nothing else to pay.
• No inactivity timeouts. As long as the broker account stays open and your EA keeps reporting when you do trade, your seeded status persists. Leave it idle for months if you need to.
• No copy-trading cut. (Phase 2 only.) When copy-trading launches, subscribers to your strategy pay you a commission separately — we don’t take a cut of that on top of the 70/30.
