Overview
This article explains how payouts work for Prime Funded accounts, including profit split, eligibility requirements, minimum trading days, consistency application, and the payout review process. Because Prime Funded accounts are issued as funded accounts from day one, all rules in this article apply immediately. Payouts are subject to compliance review and are approved only when all payout conditions are satisfied.
Profit Split
Prime Funded accounts operate under a 90% profit split.
Traders receive 90% of approved profits
The remaining portion is retained by the firm
The profit split applies to approved payout amounts only
There is no cap on total profits that can be generated.
Minimum Trading Days to Request a Payout
Prime Funded accounts must complete a minimum of 10 trading days before submitting a payout request.
Definition of a Trading Day
A trading day is counted when at least one trade is placed between 6:00 PM EST and 5:00 PM EST the following day.
Trading days do not need to be consecutive
The trading day counter resets after each approved payout
Payout Eligibility Requirements
A payout request is eligible for review only when all of the following conditions are met:
Minimum 10 trading days completed since account issuance or last payout
Account is above the trailing drawdown level
Daily Loss Limits have not been breached
Position-size limits have not been exceeded
Profits were generated using compliant trading behavior
Consistency requirements are satisfied
Meeting profitability alone does not guarantee payout approval.
20% Consistency Rule (Payout Calculations Only)
The 20% consistency rule applies to all Prime Funded payout requests and is used solely for payout calculations.
How the Rule Works
When submitting a payout request:
No single trading day may contribute more than 20% of the total profits included in that payout
Profits above the 20% threshold are excluded from the payout calculation
Excluded profits remain in the account
The account is not breached, penalized, or reset
Example
If a payout request includes $10,000 in profits:
Maximum allowed from one trading day: $2,000
If one day produced $3,500:
$2,000 is eligible for payout
$1,500 remains in the account for future payout requests
The consistency rule does not limit how much profit a trader may generate overall.
Payout Review & Approval Process
All payout requests undergo a compliance review to verify:
Trailing drawdown compliance
Daily Loss Limit compliance
Position-size compliance
Consistency compliance
Acceptable trading behavior
The review ensures that profits were generated in accordance with all Prime Funded rules. Approved payouts are processed after review completion. Processing timelines may vary depending on volume and verification requirements.
Payout Denials
A payout request may be denied if:
Consistency requirements are not met
Profits were generated through prohibited trading behavior
Risk limits were breached
Required trading days have not been completed
A payout denial does not close the account.
After a denial:
The trader may continue trading
Profits may be redistributed across additional trading days
A new payout request may be submitted once conditions are met
