  Cap only increases after a FULLY approved withdrawal. Partial or declined payouts do not progress the cap.

Phase 2 reset available with add-on

Resets are offered as an alternative to full suspension after a rule violation. The account continues trading, but every future payout on that account is permanently capped at 50% of the approved amount.

• Nonstop Dynamic Risk Shield™: 3% on Supernova and Hypernova; 2% on Ultranova. It trails continuously and never locks.
