Payout Frequency

Every 14 days. Instant funding: first payout after 20 days per the rules (product pages say 4 weeks), then every 14 days. Two consecutive non compliant requests may suspend the account.

On Demand, provided you have met these specific criteria:

  • Consistency Rule
  • Minimum Payout Amount of 1% of Initial Balance (Before-Split)
  • Minimum Trading Days

1-Step Infinity: requests any day, including weekends, once eligible.

Infinity Plus: requests any day, including weekends, once eligible. Requests require review and approval; trading pauses during review.

Payout Guarantee

Paid within 14 days of the request at most. Once approved, payment takes 24 to 72 business hours (USDT usually within 24 hours; bank transfer up to 5 business days).

The 24-hour payout guarantee ensures that you are eligible to receive your full payout within 24 business hours of your payout request. If Funded Trader Markets fail to meet this time frame, they will double the requested payout and issue a free account of the same size. This guarantee is only applicable for payouts up to $1000.
