A payout request only goes through when all of the conditions below are true at the same time. Check them first so your request is not held up.

At least 1% profit since your last payout. Measured on your account size, from your last payout (or from funding, if this is your first). On a $100,000 account that is $1,000 of profit before you can request.

Best day within the Best Day Rule. No single trading day may account for more than 20% of your total net profit since your last payout (30% on Thunderbolt Legacy). This is a soft rule: it gates the payout, it does not fail your account. At the 20% limit, a best day of $200 needs at least $1,000 of total profit before you can request.

All positions closed. You cannot request while a trade is open. Flatten everything first.

At least $100. The minimum payout is $100, and that figure is your 99% share.

If any one of these is not met, the request will not be available. See The Best Day Rule for how to get your best day back within range without failing the account.

Two one-time requirements also apply before your first payout: your identity verification (KYC) must be complete, and you must have signed the Traders Agreement. Both are done once from your dashboard and do not need to be repeated for later payouts.

The payout request lives in your Upcomers customer dashboard, not inside DXtrade. DXtrade is where you trade; the dashboard is where you manage the account and request payouts.

1. Close every open position. In DXtrade, flatten all trades and cancel any working orders so the account is fully closed before you request.

2. Log in to your Upcomers dashboard and open the funded account you want to withdraw from.

3. Open the payout or withdrawal section for that account. The dashboard shows your available profit and whether the payout conditions are currently met.

4. Enter the amount you want to withdraw (at least $100, up to your available amount).

5. Choose your payout method (bank transfer or crypto) and enter the receiving details. The name on the receiving account must match your Upcomers account name (see below).

6. Review and submit. Confirm the amount, method, and fee, then submit the request. You can track its status back in the same section of the dashboard.

Thunderbolt Legacy and Vanguard have a minimum number of trading days before your first payout; Thunderbolt Classic has none. A trading day counts when you open at least one position that day (on Vanguard, only days with at least 0.5% profit qualify). The 1% profit, Best Day Rule, closed-positions, and $100 minimum conditions all apply on top of this.

For Vanguard, the 5 qualifying trading days do not have to be consecutive. Once your program's minimum trading days are met and every condition above is satisfied, you can request at any time. There is no fixed schedule after that.

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.

The fee is taken from the payout, so the amount that lands with you is your requested amount minus the fee.

One exception on crypto: if the original order for that account was paid in crypto, the crypto payout fee is reduced to $19.90 plus 2.49% instead of 30%. Crypto payouts are sent on USDT (TRC20) or USDC (ERC20) only.

Say you request a $1,000 payout (your 99% share). Here is what each method costs.

The dashboard shows the exact fee for your chosen method before you confirm, so you always see the net amount before you submit.

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.

On a funded account, your trailing drawdown floor (Dynamic Risk Shield™) rises with your equity in real time as you profit. It locks permanently at your initial balance once your account grows by the trailing percentage: 4% on Thunderbolt Classic and Thunderbolt Legacy, 3% on Vanguard. After it locks, it is static and no longer moves.

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. All three programs (Thunderbolt Classic, Thunderbolt Legacy, and Vanguard) use this same real-time trailing lock, matching the CFD Dynamic Risk Shield.

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.

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.

If you cannot submit a request, it is almost always one of these:
