The Short Answer
Request a payout from your Upcomers dashboard once your funded Futures account meets all conditions. Thunderbolt Classic, Vanguard and Horizon have different profit, qualifying-day and consistency requirements. See Futures payout conditions before submitting.
There is no fixed payout schedule. When the conditions are met, you can request at any time. Thunderbolt Classic accounts purchased before October 29, 2026 keep a 20% Best Day limit and no minimum trading days.
Before you request: the conditions
Use Futures payout conditions for the current program comparison. The dashboard must show that your account meets its profit, qualifying-day, consistency and minimum-amount requirements.
Close all positions, cancel working orders and ensure the account is within its risk limits. KYC and the Trader Agreement must be complete before the first payout.
Step by step in the dashboard
1. Close positions and cancel working orders. Open the funded account in your Upcomers dashboard and check its withdrawal eligibility.
2. Request the account profit. Enter an eligible amount of at least $50, within the available profit and cap. The account’s profit split determines the amount credited after approval.
3. Request delivery from your payout balance. The separate payout minimum is $45. Choose an available method, enter receiving details in your own name and review the fee and net amount before confirming.
4. Track both statuses. Account-profit approval and delivery to your bank or wallet are separate steps. Use the status shown in the dashboard.
Profit target before a payout
Thunderbolt Classic requires 1% profit and 3 qualifying days; Vanguard requires 6% profit and no minimum days; Horizon requires 3% profit and 5 qualifying days. Qualifying days earn at least 0.5% of initial balance. Thunderbolt Classic accounts purchased before October 29, 2026 retain the earlier no-minimum-days rule.
The profit requirement uses the current payout segment and its starting balance. Best Day limits, the minimum request and payout caps also apply.
Choose your payout method
You can receive your payout by bank transfer or in crypto. Each carries a processing fee, shown below. You pick the method when you submit the request.
Method | Processing fee |
Bank transfer | $19.90 flat, plus 2.49% of the payout amount |
Crypto | $19.90 flat, plus 30% of the payout amount |
The fee is taken from the payout, so the amount that lands with you is your requested amount minus the fee.
If at least 50% of your successfully paid orders were funded through crypto, the crypto processing rate is reduced to 2.49%; the $19.90 fee still applies. Check the fee shown before confirming. Crypto payouts use the supported networks shown in the dashboard.
Worked example on the fees
For a $1,000 delivery request from your payout balance, these are the standard fees. The account profit split has already been applied before this stage.
Method | Fee on $1,000 | You receive |
Bank transfer | $19.90 + $24.90 (2.49%) = $44.80 | $955.20 |
Crypto | $19.90 + $300.00 (30%) = $319.90 | $680.10 |
The dashboard shows the exact fee for your chosen method before you confirm, so you always see the net amount before you submit.
The name must match
Payouts are sent only to an account held in your own name, the same name registered on your Upcomers account. The bank account or crypto wallet you enter must belong to you and match your verified identity.
We do not send payouts to third parties, company accounts in a different name, or another person's wallet. If the receiving name does not match, the payout is held until it is corrected. Make sure your dashboard details and your receiving account are in the same name before you request.
If a payout is returned because the receiving details were wrong, a $30 reprocessing fee applies before it can be sent again, so double-check your account number, IBAN, or wallet address before you submit.
A payout lowers your drawdown buffer
Your EOD trailing floor does not move down when you withdraw. Its percentage depends on your program and account size, and it locks at initial balance when reached. See trailing drawdown for the calculation.
Either way, the floor never moves back down when you withdraw. So a payout lowers your balance while the floor stays put, which shrinks the buffer you have before a breach.
Say your $100,000 account has its floor at $100,000 and your balance is $103,000. Your cushion to the floor is $3,000. You take a $2,000 payout, so your balance is now $101,000 and the floor is still $100,000. Your cushion is now $1,000. This is not a penalty, it is just how the trailing floor behaves when you withdraw. Size each payout around the buffer you want to keep for your next trades. See Trailing drawdown explained for the full mechanism.
Processing time
Once you submit, your request is auto-verified against the payout conditions (profit threshold, trading days, no open trades) and then processed for delivery. Approved payouts are processed on a same-day basis, the same as our CFD product, whether you chose bank transfer or crypto.
You can check the status of a request at any time in the payout section of your dashboard.
Common reasons a request is not available
Common reasons include open positions, insufficient eligible profit, too few qualifying days, an unmet Best Day limit, a request outside the minimum or cap, incomplete verification, or incorrect receiving details. Use the eligibility information shown for your account and the payout checklist.
