🆕 What Is It?
Payouts-on-Demand gives Pro Challenge traders the freedom to request a payout within 72 hours of hitting the required criteria—no more waiting for fixed cycles.
📅 Launch Date
Payouts-on-Demand launched on April 1, 2025
🧑💼 Who Can Use This?
This feature is exclusive to Pro Challenge traders. No other challenge types are eligible.
✅ Key Benefits
Benefit | Description |
⚡ Faster Access | Request a payout as early as 72 hours after meeting consistency requirements. |
📈 More Opportunities | No more fixed payout cycles—request anytime once eligible. |
🕹️ More Control | Withdraw when it makes sense for you—not when you're told to. |
📊 Eligibility Criteria
To request a payout under this system, traders must meet the Consistency Rule:
Requirement | Rule |
📈 Consistency Rule | No more than 40% of total profits can come from a single trading day. |
💰 Minimum Profit | Must have at least 2% profit on the account. |
🔄 Reset Mechanism | Consistency resets after each payout request—traders must meet the rule again to request the next. |
This is to ensure fair play, discourage risky trades, and promote long-term profitability.
⏱️ Why the 72 Hours?
The 72-hour window is not a payout cycle, but a guideline for the fastest timeframe in which a trader could become eligible for a payout by meeting the consistency requirement.
To qualify for a payout, no single trading day may account for more than 40% of the total profit earned so far.
Example Breakdown:
Day | Profit | Running Total | Largest % of Running Total | Notes |
Day 1 | $400 | $400 | 100% (Day 1) | ❌ Exceeds 40% – Not eligible yet |
Day 2 | $350 | $750 | 53.3% (Day 1) | ❌ Still over the 40% threshold |
Day 3 | $250 | $1000 | 40% (Day 1) | ✅ Eligible – All days within 40% limit |
✅ Eligibility is achieved after Day 3, when the $400 from Day 1 drops to exactly 40% of the $1000 total.
Key Takeaways:
Traders must build up profits in a way that no single day dominates the total.
A trader might need 3 or more days to meet the consistency rule even if they're profitable early.
The rule is dynamic—it changes as the total grows.
So, in theory, the minimum time it can take to become eligible is 3 trading days.
Once eligible, traders can request their payout immediately.
After a payout request is made, the consistency calculation resets, and traders will again need at least 3 trading days to qualify for the next payout.
