Largest green day ÷ cycle net profit is compared with the exact product’s published cap and boundary wording.
- Largest day
- $1,200
- Cycle net
- $3,000
- Current share
- 40%
$1,200 ÷ 20% = $6,000 required cycle net. With $3,000 logged, the ratio-only gap is $3,000.
Why a red day can move the payout farther away
A $500 loss cuts cycle net to $2,500 while the $1,200 largest day stays put. The share rises to 48%, and the same ratio now needs $3,500 more net profit. If a later green day becomes the new largest day, the required total can rise again.
This is not a cue to chase the gap. The arithmetic cannot safely turn that gap into a trade size or a fixed number of days. On the sourced examples below, exceeding the cap leaves the payout gate unmet; it is not an instant account failure.
