Once you have a SIM Funded Account, you are paid in USDC, from the balance you generate on that account. You request an amount, the full amount comes off your balance, and you receive 80% of it (or 100% with the 100% Profit Split addon). This is the overview for BrightCore.
The short version
Minimum request: $250
Profit split: 80%, or 100% with the 100% Profit Split addon
Payout cap per request (the main limit): $1,000 / $2,000 / $3,000 / $4,000 (25K / 50K / 100K / 150K), doubled with the 2x Payout Cap addon
You can also request at most 50% of the current profit of your account (balance minus starting balance)
Payouts are unlocked by winning days: 5 since your last approved payout, or 3 with the 3 Day Payout Cycle addon
Payouts are paid in USDC (ERC-20). The wallet on your profile must be able to receive USDC on ERC-20
Processing: payouts are processed up to 24 business hours after you request them
Minimum Trade Duration: must be met to request a payout

How the amount works
You request an amount. That full amount comes off your account balance, and you receive 80% of it, or 100% with the 100% Profit Split addon. The cap and the $250 minimum apply to the requested amount.
The payout cap is the main limit. You can also request at most 50% of the current profit of your account (your balance minus your starting balance). The maximum is the lowest of the cap, 50% of current profit and your balance minus (start + $100).
Example: what you receive
You request $1,000.
Your balance goes down by $1,000.
👉 You receive $800 (80%), or $1,000 with the 100% Profit Split addon.
The 2x Payout Cap addon only raises the cap. It does not change what you receive for a given request.
Example: the 50% of profit limit ($50K)
You have 5 winning days done and a balance of $53,000.
Your current profit is $3,000, so 50% is $1,500. The cap is $2,000.
👉 You request up to $1,500 and receive $1,200 (80%), or $1,500 with the 100% Profit Split addon.
With the 2x Payout Cap addon the cap is $4,000, but 50% of your profit is still $1,500, so the maximum stays the same.
Profit you do not withdraw stays in your account and you can request it in later payouts.
Each payout starts a new cycle
The winning days and the Minimum Trade Duration only count what happened after your last approved payout. The winning day count goes back to zero and starts again from the next full trading day. Your first approved payout also locks your floor at start + $100.
⚠️ Minimum Trade Duration: more than 50% of your winning profit since your last payout must come from trades held longer than 15 seconds. It never fails your account, but it blocks the payout request until it is met.
