TradeDay: Payouts, split & buffer

ConditionalPayout deniedHidden ruleVerifiedUpdated Jun 5, 2026

Minimum payout $250; requests before 5:30 PM process the next business day. Profit split is PER ACCOUNT (not lifetime): on Funded Sim, 50/50 on the first $4,000 of gross profit, then 80/20; on Funded Live, 90/10. Quick Pay requires equity above the buffer (starting balance + max drawdown) to withdraw; Fast Pass Funded Sim has no buffer but caps payouts at 50% of balance with ceilings of $2,000/$2,500/$3,000. Fast Pass moves to Funded Live on the 5th payout. US wire free; international $15; crypto $2.50/free.

The gotcha

You keep only half of your first $4,000 of profit (50/50) before the 80/20 band kicks in — and splits are per-account, so a re-bought account resets your tier.

Breaching this doesn't necessarily close the account, but it can disqualify the payout you were trading toward — you keep trading, the profit doesn't get paid.
