Performance Reward Buffer — Only for Nova Accounts

Before requesting a Performance Reward, you must maintain a non-withdrawable buffer in your Nova account equal to your drawdown amount. This page explains buffer rules, Performance Reward caps, and balance requirements per stage.

Performance Reward Buffer

Before requesting a Performance Reward, you must maintain a non-withdrawable buffer in your account equal to your drawdown amount.

This buffer serves as a safety measure to prevent drawdown breaches that could occur if all available profits were withdrawn at once. It ensures that your account always has sufficient funds to cover potential losses, keeping your evaluation or funded account in compliance with the rules.

The buffer does not reduce your available profit for future trades, it simply protects both you and the company from accidental violations of the risk limits.


Performance Reward Caps

Performance Reward caps set the maximum amount you can request in a single Performance Reward.
