Eligibility for Payout

Understand the conditions you need to meet before requesting your payout

Updated this week

Before requesting your first payout, it’s important to understand the rules and conditions that determine eligibility.

Only traders who have successfully completed the evaluation phase, passed the KYC verification, and signed the Upcomers Traders Agreement can qualify for payouts.

To ensure fairness and risk discipline, all funded traders must meet several internal payout conditions:

  • 30% Best Day Rule : No single trading day can represent more than 30% of your total profits. This ensures stable performance rather than one-time profit spikes. Exceeding this rule doesn’t breach your account, but your payout will be delayed until your profit distribution becomes more balanced.

  • 3% Rule: You must not lose more than 3% of your account balance on any single trade. Splitting large trades into smaller positions does not bypass this rule. Violating it is considered a breach of your funded account agreement.

  • No Open Trades: All positions must be closed before submitting a payout request.

  • Compliance with All Drawdown Rules: Your account must remain in full compliance with daily and maximum drawdown limits throughout the payout cycle.

Traders in the Vanguard (Instant Funding) program can request their first payout after completing a minimum of three trading days, provided that each day ends with a profit of at least 0.5% compared to the previous day’s closing balance.

To withdraw from a Thunderbolt Turbo funded account you must complete at least 10 trading days — a trading day counts only when you earn ≥ 0.25% of the funded account balance in booked (closed) profit on that day. New trading days start at 00:00 UTC.
