Definition
Payout cycle
How often a funded trader can withdraw profit — weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or on-demand.
The cycle defines the earliest date each withdrawal can be requested. 14-day cycles are common; some firms offer weekly or on-demand payouts, often in exchange for a lower split or an extra fee.
Watch for first-payout conditions: minimum profit amounts, a minimum number of trading days, or a buffer that must remain in the account.
