Payout eligibility

By Omer Rapaport · Content updated 11 September 2026

What does Payout eligibility mean?

Payout eligibility means the account satisfies the conditions required to request payment. These may include qualifying days, minimum profit, consistency, identity checks and rule compliance.

Example

An account is profitable but lacks one qualifying trading day, so payment cannot yet be requested.

Illustrative example; not a provider’s quoted offer.

Why it matters for prop traders

Eligibility, approval and processing are separate stages.
