Funded traders receive an 80% profit split with withdrawal every 10 business days. Withdrawals are capped at $10,000 per 30-day cycle regardless of the number of accounts held. Once total funded profits exceed $5,000, no single trade or trading day can account for more than 50% of total profit. The Maven Mini program offers immediate withdrawal with a 24-hour trading window. Payout methods include Bank Transfer, Crypto, and Riseworks.
Maven attracts traders who prefer manual trading without EA complications and want a low account-size entry point starting from just $2,000. The IP region must match between challenge, live, and purchase phases. News trading is restricted within 2 minutes before and after red-folder events, except on Instant Funding and Mini accounts. The firm accepts payments via Credit/Debit Card, Crypto, and Korapay, supporting South African ZAR payments.
