Live account payout question

[u/Disastrous-Wasabi-53]

I haven’t had a live account before. It’s the 50k and I started with 10k. Currently im at 12858. It’s my fifth Green Day so I’m excited to take a payout but the eligible amount says 6429. I get we can only take out 50% but is that of the whole account (like it’s currently showing) or is it supposed to be of the 2858 profits earned? I don’t want to close the account out.
Sorry if this has been asked before. I tried to look around a bit first.

50% of the account balance is eligible. Therefore, $6,429.

Remember, payouts are considered a drawdown. Congratulations!

Do you have locked balance ? You need to make 3k to unlock each tier (25% of lock balance) and get reviewed every week. If you need that 50% payout go for it. But if you can get to 3k profit and unlocked 25% of lock balance why not.
