How Payout Rules Work

Payout rules decide when and how funded traders can withdraw profits. They are just as important as challenge price or headline profit split.

Common payout checks

• First payout waiting period
• Minimum profitable days
• Consistency rule or best-day cap
• Maximum withdrawal amount
• Required safety buffer above drawdown

A firm with a cheap evaluation can still be poor value if payout restrictions are awkward for your strategy.
