Payout Frequency

First payout on demand once funded (on Instant, after the first trade). Then every 7 days; every 14 on Instant Go.

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

No guaranteed time: the payout policy neither promises nor estimates one. Every request gets an automatic receipt and every payout a verifiable certificate.

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.
