2-Step Classic starts at a 70% trader profit split. 2-Step Pro starts at 80%. The split applies to eligible A-Book profits generated above the starting balance and after clearing any prior B-Book offset; on 2-Step Pro it is calculated when the payout is requested. Fundex's legal terms state that payments are discretionary bonuses rather than a fixed contractual split.
