The process
- You request a payout from the dashboard once the schedule allows.
- The firm reviews the account for rule breaches, prohibited strategies and identity checks, usually within one to five business days.
- The split is applied to profit since the last payout.
- The firm transfers your share by the method you chose, less any fee.
- The account balance typically resets to the starting balance.

What can void a payout
A rule breach found on review, even weeks after the trades: news windows, consistency rules, copied trades, prohibited strategies. Trades the firm judges exploit the simulation. Identity or account-sharing problems. And, in the disqualifying case, nothing you did: the firm stops paying. Every firm collapse in the sector was preceded by slowing payouts and new rules, discussed publicly before the end.
Habits
Request at every opportunity. Keep records of every request and payment. Read the payout terms for the funded account, not the evaluation. And treat the first payout as the real pass.
