How much you can earn from Costa Rica
On the funded account you keep 80% of the profit above the 3% buffer, paid in USDT to your wallet after the processing fee. Net examples on $5K:
- A 5% profit ($250) → you receive $77.20 (≈ CRC 34,963) net.
- An 8% profit ($400) → you receive $193.00 (≈ CRC 87,407) net.
- A 10% profit ($500) → you receive $270.20 (≈ CRC 122,370) net.
How much you need to make per day on the $5K Ascent
The phase 1 target is $300 (≈ CRC 135,866). With at least 3 trading days and the consistency rule (best day ≤ 40% of the profit, so at least 3 profitable days), the fastest possible pace is $100 (≈ CRC 45,289) a day for 3 days.
Spread over 10 trading days it is $30 (≈ CRC 13,587) a day, 20% of your $150 (≈ CRC 67,933) daily loss limit. Going slower costs nothing within the 30-calendar-day limit: the smaller the daily goal, the less you need to risk per trade. Across the 3 phases the targets add up to $900 (≈ CRC 407,599).
Example for a trader in Costa Rica: risking 0.5% per trade ($25) for twice that in profit, each winner adds $50 (≈ CRC 22,644); you need 6 winning trades for the phase, plus one more for every two losers.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | $300 (6%) | $100 /day × 3 | $30 /day | $14.29 /day × 21 | $120 (40%) |

| Phase 3 | $300 (6%) | $100 /day × 3 | $30 /day | $14.29 /day × 21 | $120 (40%) |
