When can I withdraw the gains in my Live Account, and how does that affect my Maximum Drawdown?

At MyFundedCapital, we offer flexible withdrawal conditions depending on your program type (Instant Funding, One-Phase, or Two-Phase), while maintaining clear rules around Maximum Drawdown to manage risk.

 

Instant Funding Accounts

  • First Payout: 14 days after your first trade

  • Subsequent Payouts: Every 7 days after each new trade

  • Profit Split: Starts at 70/30, upgradeable to 100%

  • Drawdown Rules:

    • Daily Drawdown: 5%

    • Maximum Drawdown: 6% (tightens to 5% after +5% profit)

 

Example:

  1. You purchase a $100,000 Instant Funding account.

  2. On Day 15, you’re up to $112,000. You request a payout of $10,000.

  3. If your current split is 80/20, you receive $8,000, and we retain $2,000.

  4. After the payout, your account balance is reduced to $102,000.

  5. Since you crossed +5% profit earlier, your Maximum Drawdown is now locked at $100,000 (5% of initial balance).

  6. That means you can now lose up to $2,000 before breaching the Maximum Drawdown rule.

Important: The Maximum Drawdown does not reset after a payout. It trails up with your equity until a certain point — then it locks in, protecting your profits and limiting further risk.

 

1-Phase Challenge (One-Step)

  • First Payout: Instantly after passing

  • Subsequent Payouts: Every 7 days

  • Add-on: Enable Payout on Demand for even more flexibility

  • Drawdown Rules:

    • Daily Drawdown: 5%

    • Maximum Drawdown: 10%

Note: Since this is a challenge account that transitions to a live-funded phase, payouts only apply after you pass the challenge. Once funded, the same logic as Instant Funding applies — your balance and drawdown rules remain, and your drawdown locks in once you’re in profit territory.

 

2-Phase Challenge (Two-Step)

  • First Payout: 14 days after passing the final phase

  • Subsequent Payouts: Every 14 days by default

  • Add-on: Switch to weekly payouts or enable Payout on Demand

  • Drawdown Rules:

    • Daily Drawdown: 5%

    • Maximum Drawdown: 10%

Example:

  1. You pass both phases and are funded with a $50,000 account.

  2. After 14 days and some trading, you grow it to $55,000.

  3. You request a payout of $4,000 at 90% split → you get $3,600, and MFC retains $400.

  4. Your new balance is $51,000, but your Maximum Drawdown locks at $50,000.

  5. This means you can lose $1,000 max before violating the rule.

 

Final Notes on Payouts and Drawdown:

  • Your drawdown is based on the starting balance, not equity, once locked.

  • Taking full profit out of your account without leaving buffer may trigger a violation.

  • Always leave some cushion after a payout to stay within allowed limits.

  • Want full control? Use Payout on Demand to time withdrawals after analyzing your equity and drawdown situation.
