The split
At Sure Leverage Funding, the profit split depends heavily on the chosen program. Their 1-Step Evaluation and Futures Style accounts offer a high 90% split, while the 2-Phase accounts sit at 80%. Their Instant Funding options vary between 70% and 80%.
Wall Street Funded starts with a standard 80% profit split across all accounts. However, they offer a scaling plan where the split can eventually increase to 95% if the trader hits a 15% profit target over three months with at least three withdrawals.
How often you can withdraw
Sure Leverage Funding provides some of the fastest access to capital in the industry for their evaluation accounts. Once the requirements for the 1-Step or 2-Phase programs are met, traders can request instant payouts. Their Instant Funding models generally follow a 14-day cycle, while the EA Challenge requires 4 weeks for the first payout and then moves to a bi-weekly schedule.
Wall Street Funded uses a more structured cycle. For One-Step (Rapid) accounts, the first payout is available after 30 days, then every 10 days. For Two-Step and Instant accounts, the wait is shorter: 15 days for the first payout and every 5 days thereafter.
Minimums and methods
Both firms utilize modern payout infrastructures, focusing on flexibility for international traders.
- Sure Leverage Funding: Payouts are processed via RiseWorks.io or USDT (TRC20). The minimum withdrawal is $100. For Futures Style accounts, the minimum is higher, ranging from $250 to $1,000 depending on account size.
- Wall Street Funded: They also use Rise and Crypto. Their minimums are tiered: 1% of the balance, with a specific floor of $100 for Crypto and $500 for Rise.
What delays a payout
Several rules act as "speed bumps" on the road to a withdrawal, primarily revolving around consistency and trading style.
Sure Leverage Funding applies a profit consistency rule. In the 1-Step Evaluation, no single day can account for 50% or more of total profits. In the 2-Step and EA Challenge, this limit is 25%. They also have a soft-scalping rule: trades should generally stay open for more than 2 minutes, and tick scalping is prohibited.
Wall Street Funded is stricter regarding trade management. You must place a Stop Loss (SL) within two minutes of opening any trade, or you risk a breach. They also prohibit trading during high-impact news (4-minute window before and after) on funded accounts. Their consistency rule is also tighter: on Instant Pro accounts, a single day cannot exceed 15% of the total profit, and they require at least 4 "profitable days" where you earn at least 0.5% of the balance.
What it takes to get there
Reaching the first payout requires an initial investment and navigating specific technical environments.
- Investment: For a $50,000 account, Wall Street Funded is generally more affordable. Their "Rapid" 1-Step costs $379, whereas Sure Leverage Funding’s 1-Step costs $455. However, Sure Leverage Funding offers a "Buy Now Pay Later" entry for just $10, with the balance paid only after passing.
- Platforms: Wall Street Funded offers superior variety, supporting cTrader, MetaTrader 5, MatchTrader, and DXTrade. Sure Leverage Funding is more limited, offering MetaTrader 5 and TradeLocker.
- Trading Styles: Wall Street Funded allows EAs across the board. Sure Leverage Funding generally prohibits EAs, except in their specific "EA Challenge," and even then, they are only allowed during the evaluation phase, not the funded phase.
Which pays out more comfortably
Sure Leverage Funding is the better choice for traders who want the highest possible split (90%) immediately and prefer "instant" payout requests without waiting for 15-30 day cycles. It is also the go-to for those looking for a low-cost entry via the $10 "Buy Now Pay Later" model.
Wall Street Funded is more comfortable for technical traders who require specific platforms like cTrader or DXTrade and those who use EAs. While their initial payout takes longer to arrive, their 5-day withdrawal cycle (after the first one) and the mandatory Stop Loss rule provide a more disciplined environment for long-term scaling up to a 95% split.
