To request your first payout, you first need a funded account, a profit above the firm's minimum withdrawal threshold, and to have met its conditions (minimum trading days, consistency rule, sometimes a delay since validation). You then receive your share according to the stated split (often 80 to 90% at first, up to 100% at some firms) and the firm's schedule (on demand, every two weeks, etc.).

The conditions before you request
- Have a funded account: payouts only apply to the funded account, never the evaluation phase.
- Have exceeded the minimum withdrawal threshold set by the firm.
- Have reached the minimum number of trading days on the funded account.
- Respect the consistency rule where it exists (no single day should weigh too heavily in your profits).
- Sometimes, wait for a minimum delay since validation or since the last withdrawal.
- Have completed identity verification (KYC) and set a payment method.
The split and the withdrawal threshold
The split is the share of profits that's yours. The minimum withdrawal threshold is the amount you must exceed before you can request a payout.
Across our 59 prop firms, 41 reach at least a 90% split and 15 go up to 100% (often through scaling or with an option). The most common starting split is around 80 to 90%.
Examples of minimum withdrawal thresholds
- Alpha Capital$100 (bi-weekly) · 2% of profits (on demand)
- The5ers$250
- My Funded Futures$500 (Rapid) · $1,000 (Pro)
- Apex Trader Funding$500
Speed and payout schedule
Two things matter: how often you can request (on demand, every two weeks, etc.) and how long the firm takes to pay once the request is accepted.
Across our 59 firms, 10 offer an "on demand" payout once conditions are met. For the stated speed firm by firm, compare on the fastest-paying ranking.
Requesting your first payout, step by step
- Check that your funded account meets every condition (minimum days, consistency, threshold).
- Complete your identity verification (KYC) and choose your payment method.
- Leave a buffer above the loss limit: don't withdraw everything that would bring you close to the drawdown.
- Request the withdrawal from your dashboard, for an amount above the minimum threshold.
- Wait for validation then the payment, within the speed stated by the firm.
- Keep a dated record of the request and the payment (useful in a dispute).
Mistakes to avoid on your first payout
- Requesting a withdrawal before meeting the consistency rule or the minimum days.
- Withdrawing an amount below the minimum threshold: the request is rejected.
- Emptying the account and ending up too close to the loss limit after the payout.
- Forgetting KYC: it blocks the first payment more often than you'd think.
- Confusing the starting split with the maximum split (reached only after scaling or an option).
