A payout unit in 24 days is a median, not a date
"24 days to the first payout unit" on 50K-Balanced 4X is the median across 1,500 simulated three-year paths: half of them reached a full unit faster, half slower (source: PV_EDGE Master Data, Monte Carlo). It is not a withdrawal date and not a promise.
What exactly is being counted?
Modeled profit on the portfolio's preset, stacked until it reaches one full payout unit. The clock starts on day one of each simulated path and stops at the first unit. Across 1,500 paths that gives a distribution; 24 days is its middle.
What the number isn't
A date. When you can actually withdraw is your account's rule: some firms pay on a calendar, some after a minimum number of trading days, some after a buffer. The modeled path says how fast profit stacks, nothing about the firm's calendar.
How to read it next to the other two numbers
Units per year says how often the stacking repeats: 59 for 50K-Balanced 4X, 26 for Forex Champion, 12 for 100K-Balanced. The blow rate says what the speed costs: the fastest portfolios are sized biggest and sit closest to the floor. All fifteen portfolios on both axes are in Which prop account pays first? and on the portfolios page.
The rule is the filter. The Playbook shows what fits through it.
Which configurations fit tight daily limits, trailing floors and consistency rules — sized to the drawdown, not the balance. One PDF, then our letters with what the systems did.

FAQ
Why not just show the average? Averages get pulled by the slow tail. The median is the middle path, which is the one most traders will recognize.
Is a 0.00% blow rate zero risk? It means zero blown paths out of 1,500 in the simulation. It is a forecast with a floor of one in fifteen hundred, not a guarantee.
Modeled and live layers are labeled separately. Monte Carlo figures (1,500 paths × 3 years) are a forecast. Hypothetical performance; past results do not guarantee future returns. Not financial advice.
