Example: If you receive a real account with $10,000 on 01/06/2025 and grow your balance to $12,000, you request a $2,000 withdrawal after 28 calendar days of trading. If the withdrawal is approved on 28/06/2025, your new balance will be $10,000. If you profit an additional $2,000, your balance becomes $12,000.
