Almost every firm runs a manual review before the first payout, and many review every payout. What the review checks is rarely stated in full: consistency of profit, prohibited strategies, news-window entries and copy trading across accounts are the common triggers. The published cycle is the earliest you may ask, not a guarantee of when money arrives.
Payout
Payouts
The transfer of your share of profit from a funded account. The request is made on the firm's cycle — on demand, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly — and paid after a review.
How firms apply it
What it means for your trading
Treat the first payout as the real test of a firm, not the evaluation. We publish a median payout time for a firm only once five traders have submitted verified proof — until then, nobody honestly knows, including us.
