The 3% Safety Buffer is a built-in protection system on all Instant Pro Master accounts, designed to preserve account stability after a payout.
It ensures traders maintain a sustainable equity cushion and don’t breach drawdown limits immediately after withdrawing profits.
How It Works
When you request a payout on your Instant Pro account:
Your equity is reviewed before payout approval.
A 3% buffer of your initial balance is automatically held on your account.
This amount cannot be withdrawn and remains part of your trading equity.
This ensures your account still has enough margin to continue trading safely without risking a Max Loss or Daily Loss breach right after a payout.
Example
Account size: $50,000
Closed profit: $4,000
Profit split: 95%
3% Safety Buffer: $1,500
Calculation:
$4,000 total profit − $1,500 buffer = $2,500 withdrawable
Payout = $2,500 × 0.95 = $2,375 received
After payout, your equity remains at $51,500 ($50,000 base + $1,500 buffer).
You can continue trading from that balance safely.
Reset Policy
The 3% buffer resets automatically after each payout cycle.
It is recalculated based on your current account balance, not just the initial balance.
If your balance grows, the buffer amount increases accordingly.
The buffer does not reduce your available drawdown limit — it strengthens your protection.
