Profit Split

What the split actually means, which ratios are worth accepting, and why it's just a tax on the payout for simulated accounts.

Profit split is the % of the eligible payout you receive vs the % the prop firm withholds.

90/10 is the industry standard.
80/20 is still acceptable.
Do not agree on anything less.

Keep in mind that the actual profit split only takes place in case of live funded accounts. With simulated accounts that 10% or 20% is just a tax on the payout.
