check existing vs new accounts. retroactive cut is your cue to withdraw and move.

treat as income, set aside from each payout, confirm category with a local pro.

gutting to read this happened to you, ive been there and it stings more than a normal loss because you earned it hope the rule turns out to be their error. either way thanks for the warning, screenshotting my rules tonight.

if you want bigger size without leaving profit exposed, most firms offer scaling plans or additional accounts rather than requiring you to leave earnings in to grow. that way you increase allocation through the firms own program while still withdrawing your profits. you get larger size and keep your earned money safe. dont conflate trading bigger with hoarding profit in the account, theyre separable.

withdraw at least 50% of each payout. counterparty risk is real. compound slowly, extract regularly.

wire 3-5 days normal. 10+ days = formal written escalation. change in story + delay = actually concerning.

wise if available = best practical choice. crypto faster but tax complexity. wire slowest but simplest accounting.

update, it landed today right at the end of their stated window i was spiralling over nothing. withdrawing regularly from now on like people said so i never stress over a big pending balance again.
