The months that paid

Verdict: a profitable final balance does not tell you whether a strategy produced spendable cash along the way. Lizard paid in only 3 months.

What the monthly rule asks

At the end of each month, any balance above the starting level is treated as withdrawn. A month below that line pays nothing, and later gains must repair the shortfall before cash becomes available again.

This view does not replace net profit. It answers a different question: how often could the account have paid its owner without spending the original deposit?

The dry streak changes the decision

Gold House withdrew 11,054.32 USD, yet its longest wait between paying months was 64 months. A buyer who needs regular income would experience that record differently from someone able to leave the strategy untouched for years.

Lizard finished with a small profit, but its 277-month dry streak shows how little of that result became available along the way. Scalping Robot Pro is clearer still: no month ever put the balance above its starting level.

Quantum Athena X paid every measured month, but its history covers 104 months rather than the longer spans in the other rows. Read payment frequency beside the length of the record, not as a standalone promise.

The practical check is simple. Look at paid months, total withdrawn and the longest dry streak together. Those three fields show whether a profitable-looking curve could have supported the way you actually planned to use the money.
