Why callout profits don't count
On pump.fun, a post from a large account or a call in a group can send thousands of buyers into a coin within seconds. Whoever bought just before that wave makes money without any trading skill. A prop firm that paid for those profits would be paying for being early to a coordinated pump, so at Bonded Capital they do not count.
What the rule checks
A round trip's profit does not count, for a target or a payout, when:
- within one minute of one of its buys, at least 40 wallets new to the coin bought and its market cap rose 30 %;
- one wallet bought at least 50 % of the volume, and 2 SOL or more, while you held the coin, and sold half of that within 10 minutes of your exit;
- or your own wallet traded the coin on chain while you traded it here.
The loss of such a trade always counts. The app shows every trade it set aside and the reason, and an account whose profit leans on such trades is reviewed before funding. Rule 7.2 is the full text.
Why it is good for you
Every payout comes out of the same public reserve. Profits that depend on luck or on a group's timing would drain it and leave less for traders who earned theirs. The check is automatic and the same for everyone; a person reviews only flagged accounts, before funding.
