Marketing vs. rule book

Page says: Hero headline: trade up to $750K in simulated funds / '90% performance split'

Rules say: The $750K figure is only reachable via graduation to 'Alpha Prime' after +$40,000 in payable balance or 5 payout cycles; the Alpha Prime program itself pays only 60% (with salary) or 80% (no salary), not 90%. Purchasable plans top out at 150K.

retrieved Sep 1, 2026

“Once your simulated Qualified Account reaches +$40,000 in payable balance, or after 5 payout cycles... you can choose the Alpha Prime Program (60% performance split plus a 12 month monthly salary...) or the Generic Live Program (80% performance split...)”
