There's no profit target on a Performance Account. You can request a payout once you have 4 trading days, at least $250 in profit and daily consistency below 30%.
Payout Eligibility
To request a payout, you need:
Daily consistency below 30%
At least 4 trading days since your last payout
At least $250 available to withdraw
You don't need to reach the Buffer before requesting a payout. Because your trading days reset after each payout, you can request a payout at most once every 4 trading days.
Only one payout request is allowed per day across all your accounts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do my consistency and trading days reset after a payout?
Yes. If you request a payout with 26% consistency and 5/4 trading days, both start fresh: your trading days go back to 0/4 and consistency is calculated from your next trading day.
How is daily consistency calculated?
Best day ÷ total profit. For example, if your best day is $2,000 and your total profit is $6,000, your consistency is 33.3% ($2,000 ÷ $6,000).
My consistency is 30% or higher. How can I lower it?
Keep trading days with profits in line with your usual days. For example, three days of $1,000 and one day of $3,000 give a total of $6,000, so your consistency is 50% ($3,000 ÷ $6,000). Three more days of $1,500 bring your total to $10,500, and your consistency to 28.6% ($3,000 ÷ $10,500). You can now request a payout.
Does my loss limit change after a payout?
No. The payout is taken from your equity, but your loss limit stays where it is. This reduces your room before a breach, so we recommend reaching the Buffer before requesting payouts. See Advanced Options Plan - Buffer.
What is the Buffer?
The Buffer is the equity level where your loss limit stops trailing and locks permanently. It's 5.75% above your starting equity. It isn't a target you must hit.
