Breakout review

Trading fees in your funded account:

• 0.04% on every buy or sell order.

• 0.033% daily swap fee per open position, charged at 00:25 UTC if you're holding a position at 00:00 UTC.

Your funded account still runs on simulated capital, so these fees aren't charged to you directly - they reduce your account's demo balance, which determines your profit split and payout amount.

You can see a full breakdown in your Breakout Dashboard under My Account > Cash Movements.

Breakout is a Kraken-backed proprietary trading firm offering leveraged cryptocurrency, index, and commodity trading through its proprietary Breakout Terminal. Its standard 1-Step evaluation programs include Classic, Pro, and Turbo. Classic accounts range from $5,000 to $100,000 and require a 10% evaluation profit target with a 6% static maximum drawdown. Pro accounts range from $5,000 to $200,000 and require a 12% profit target with a 5% static maximum drawdown. Turbo accounts range from $5,000 to $200,000 and require a 9% profit target with a 3% static maximum drawdown. All three programs have a 3% maximum daily loss limit during evaluation and funded trading. Trading takes place through simulated account environments. Under the Funded Trader Agreement, the funded-account provider may either internalize orders as simulated trades or route some or all orders externally to liquidity providers at its discretion.

Evaluations have no minimum trading-day requirement or maximum completion period. Traders may pass as soon as they reach the applicable profit target without violating account rules. Evaluation fees are one-time purchases, with no recurring subscription or funded activation fee. An evaluation remains active until the trader passes, breaches a rule, or another applicable termination condition occurs. A breached evaluation cannot be resumed or reset, and a new evaluation must be purchased to attempt qualification again. After passing, traders must complete identity verification (KYC), sign a Funded Trader Agreement with Payward Oceanic Ltd., and receive final approval before funded trading is enabled. Approval generally takes approximately 12-24 hours.

Breakout permits multiple accounts, subject to a maximum combined active evaluation allocation of $200,000 and a separate maximum combined funded allocation of $200,000. These restrictions are based on total account allocation rather than a fixed number of accounts. Trading is available 24/7, including weekends, subject to maintenance and service interruptions. News trading, overnight holding, and weekend holding are permitted without mandatory daily position liquidation. Instrument-specific leverage and maximum position limits apply. Classic, Pro, and Turbo accounts carry trading commissions of 0.04% per side, calculated on notional position value, including the index and commodity instruments listed in their standard fee schedule. A financing fee of 0.033% per day applies to open positions, divided into six four-hour intervals on Breakout Terminal. These trading fees reduce the simulated account balance and resulting profits rather than being charged directly to the trader. Funded-account access may be suspended after 90 consecutive calendar days without trading, with reactivation requiring a request to Breakout.

Prohibited trading practices include pricing or latency exploitation, insider-information trading, front-running, prohibited third-party or off-the-shelf strategies, copying another trader's signals or trade ideas, account sharing, cross-account arbitrage, and strategies that cannot reasonably be replicated under live-market conditions. Traders may not use one strategy to pass evaluation and then switch to a different strategy during funded trading. Hedge Mode is enabled by default and permits opposing positions within a single account, subject to Breakout's restrictions. Same-asset hedging is permitted only when the existing position has substantial unrealized profit or loss and Breakout determines that the opposing position functions as a standalone trade rather than an artificial offset. Hedging identical or substantially correlated instruments across separate accounts or in coordination with other traders is prohibited. Breakout monitors trade timing, entry prices, notional sizes, asset correlations, and exposure patterns to identify violations. Confirmed prohibited hedging may result in immediate termination of all associated accounts, forfeiture of accrued profits, and permanent disqualification. Breakout may issue a warning for an inadvertent and non-recurring violation at its discretion, while deliberate or repeated violations are subject to termination. Traders must be at least 18 years old and reside in an eligible jurisdiction.

Breakout does not impose consistency requirements during evaluation or funded trading. There is no maximum percentage of total profits that may be earned in a single trading day, no minimum number of profitable trading days, and no requirement to distribute profits across multiple sessions. Traders may complete an evaluation in a single trading day and become eligible for funded payouts without satisfying a separate consistency threshold.

Classic, Pro, and Turbo accounts have a 3% maximum daily loss limit (DLL) during both evaluation and funded trading. The DLL is a HARD BREACH, not a temporary daily trading pause. The daily loss equity floor is recalculated every day at 00:30 UTC using the account's closed balance at that time, excluding unrealized profit or loss. The floor is established 3% below that reference balance and remains active until the next recalculation, subject to payout-related adjustments. Account equity, including unrealized profit and loss from open positions, is monitored continuously. If equity reaches or falls below the applicable daily loss floor, all open positions are closed and the account is permanently breached. A daily recalculation does not restore an account that has already breached its DLL.

Maximum overall drawdown is also enforced as a hard breach. Classic accounts have a 6% static maximum drawdown, Pro accounts have a 5% static maximum drawdown, and Turbo accounts have a 3% static maximum drawdown. These limits are calculated from the initial account balance and remain fixed regardless of subsequent profits. Both daily loss and overall drawdown restrictions are enforced simultaneously. Reaching either threshold permanently breaches the account rather than triggering a temporary trading suspension.

When a funded trader requests a payout, the account balance is reduced by the withdrawal amount and the active daily loss equity floor is adjusted downward by the corresponding amount, preserving the existing dollar distance between account equity and the daily loss threshold immediately after withdrawal. The daily loss floor is recalculated again at the next 00:30 UTC reset. Payouts do not change the static maximum drawdown floor, which remains based on the initial account balance. Traders must remain compliant with both loss restrictions after withdrawing profits. A breached funded account loses trading privileges and is not eligible for further payout requests.

Breakout offers on-demand payouts to approved funded traders with a standard 80% profit split or an optional 90% profit split selected when purchasing an evaluation. The 90% upgrade is available at checkout for an additional fee and applies permanently to the selected account. Evaluation accounts are not eligible for withdrawals.

The minimum payout request is $50 after applying the trader's profit split. This requires at least $62.50 in account profit for an 80% split or $55.56 for a 90% split. There is no minimum first-payout trading-day requirement, winning-day requirement, mandatory profit buffer, or scheduled payout cycle. Eligible traders may request their first payout immediately after generating sufficient funded profits, including during their first funded trading day.

Breakout advertises uncapped payouts, with no published maximum single-withdrawal amount, payout frequency restriction, or rolling 24-hour withdrawal cap. There are no published daily, weekly, monthly, or lifetime payout ceilings. Eligible traders may request all or part of their available withdrawable profits, subject to the $50 minimum, applicable account rules, and payout approval requirements. Multiple payout requests are permitted without a prescribed waiting period. These conditions apply to Classic, Pro, and Turbo accounts regardless of account size or selected profit split.

All open positions must be closed before submitting a payout request, and the funded account must remain in good standing without a breach. The requested withdrawal amount is immediately deducted from the funded account balance, and the active daily loss equity floor is adjusted downward by the amount withdrawn to preserve the account's existing dollar loss allowance. This adjustment does not change the static maximum drawdown floor. Traders may resume trading while payout processing continues, provided the account remains compliant.

Payouts are currently issued exclusively in USDC through the Ethereum ERC-20 network. Requests are subject to approval by Payward Oceanic Ltd., with the official FAQ specifying an approval period of approximately 12-24 hours, although processing is often faster. Breakout states that no additional hidden payout fees are deducted from the requested withdrawal amount. Blockchain network conditions, including congestion and gas-fee requirements, may affect transfers. Traders must provide an accurate receiving wallet address and satisfy applicable tax obligations. Breached funded accounts are ineligible for further withdrawal requests, and payout eligibility remains subject to the Funded Trader Agreement and applicable compliance requirements.
