What it means for a systematic strategy
The 15% rule is the tightest standard consistency ratio on any card here: seven equal days per payout period, or a blocked request. The 6% cap on the first two payouts and the day gate spread early profit over several periods. The ladder pays for staying: 92–95% and a salary after half a year of payouts, which favours a strategy that survives rather than one that withdraws fast.
