Summary
Qualifying for a payout at MegaTrader requires traders to meet specific criteria related to profit goals, consistency, trading activity, and rule compliance. This guide outlines the exact steps needed to become eligible for your first—and future—payouts.
Meet the Profit Target
Each account size has unique profit milestones that must be reached before requesting a payout. The target resets after every successful payout and increases in tiered steps. You must hit the required goal for your payout tier based on your account type. Refer to your plan’s payout structure for specific values.
Complete Required Trading Days
Before each payout request, your account must show:
Zero Funded Plans: follow the standard trading-day requirement assigned to the account
Growth Plans: 7 separate trading days
Prime Plans: 10 separate trading days
Funded Plans: follow the standard trading-day requirement assigned to the account
A trading day counts when you place at least one trade during the official session window (6:00 PM EST to 5:00 PM EST the next day).
The trading-day count resets after each approved payout.
Satisfy the Consistency Rule
Your trading performance must pass the 20% Consistency Rule, which applies to all plans:
Zero Funded Plan: 20% Rule
Growth Plan: 20% Rule
Prime Plan: 20% Rule
Funded Plan: 20% Rule
No single trading day may account for more than 20% of your total realized profit within the current payout cycle. If this rule is exceeded, additional compliant trading is required to rebalance profit distribution before a payout can be approved.
Maintain Drawdown Compliance
You must remain above your account’s minimum balance threshold at all times, including drawdown and any buffer applied.
Example:
A $100,000 Growth account with a $3,500 trailing drawdown must maintain at least $103,600 to qualify.
Drawdown compliance is required until the payout is approved, not just at the time of request.
