What it means for a systematic strategy
The 50/50 on Quick Pay is a $2,000 cost on the first $4,000 of profit, paid for speed: no buffer, no consistency, no waiting days. After $4,000 the split is 80/20 at both routes, so the difference over a year is that first tranche plus the Fast Pass gates. A strategy with a smooth curve loses less on Fast Pass; a strategy that needs cash flow from the first week takes Quick Pay and treats the $2,000 as the fee.
