Eligibility for Payout

What you need before requesting a payout from your funded account.

Updated over a week ago

The Short Answer

Before requesting any payout, you need to have passed the evaluation phase, completed KYC verification, and signed the Upcomers Traders Agreement.

You also need at least 1% profit from your initial balance, all positions closed, and your account must be in full compliance with all drawdown limits.

Basic Requirements

To be eligible for a payout, you must have successfully completed the evaluation phase and received your funded account.

You must have passed KYC verification (a one-time process) and signed the Upcomers Traders Agreement.

Once these are done, they don't need to be repeated for future payouts or accounts.


1% Profit Requirement

Before each payout, you must generate at least 1% profit calculated from your initial funded balance. This requirement resets after every payout.

On a $25,000 account, that's $250 minimum. On a $50,000 account, it's $500. On a $100,000 account, it's $1,000. On a $200,000 account, it's $2,000.

Only closed trades count toward this requirement. Open positions don't qualify until you close them.


Best Day Rule: 20%

No single trading day can represent more than 20% of your total profits.

This is a soft rule. It does not breach your account. If your best day exceeds 20%, your payout will be delayed until your profit distribution is more balanced across multiple days.

Important: Intentionally splitting trades to bypass this rule is not allowed. If detected, the entire profit from that trade may be counted as if it was closed on a single day.


Max Single Trade Loss

You cannot lose more than 3% of your account balance on any single trade. For Turbo accounts, this limit is 1.5%.

This is a hard rule. Violating it results in account termination.

Splitting one trade into multiple smaller positions on the same instrument in the same direction does not bypass this rule. They're counted as one trade.


No Open Trades

All positions must be closed before you submit a payout request. You cannot request a payout while holding open trades.


Drawdown Compliance

Your account must remain in full compliance with daily drawdown and Dynamic Risk Shield™ limits at the time of your payout request.

Breaching drawdown at any point results in account termination, regardless of payout status.


Special Product Requirements

Some products have additional trading day requirements on top of the standard conditions.

Vanguard (Instant Funding)

For your first payout only, you must complete a minimum of 3 trading days, and each day must close with at least +0.5% profit. The 1% total profit requirement also applies. After your first payout, these trading day requirements no longer apply.

Turbo Accounts (Ash Turbo, Thunderbolt Turbo, Phoenix Turbo, Astral Turbo, Obsidian Turbo, Eon Turbo)

You must complete a minimum of 10 trading days, and each day must have at least 0.25% closed profit. The 1% total profit requirement also applies.

Trading days are calculated in UTC (starting at 00:00 UTC). These requirements reset after each payout.
