Profit split & payout eligibility

Profit share: 90%

XFA Standard: 5 winning days of $150+; Consistency: 3 days and 40% target.

Best day at or below 55% of total profit in the Combine. A larger day increases the profit needed to pass; XFA Consistency uses a separate 40% rule.

Subscription, activation and resets

Monthly advertised fee $49. A separate $149 activation fee applies when an XFA is earned. Public checkout lists a $49 paid reset and a reset credit on each rebill. A rule breach does not automatically stop the subscription.

Payout caps for this size

Normal XFA caps: $2,000 on Standard or $3,000 on Consistency. This configuration does not include the new-purchase DLL offer that doubles caps. Requests also cannot exceed 50% of the balance; the 90/10 split applies. Minimum request $125.

Daily limit selection

The optional purchase-set daily limit is not selected. Adding a personal risk limit later does not qualify the purchase for advertised DLL benefits.
