11. How are payouts paid and how long do they take?
- Payouts are made by bank transfer or crypto: BTC, ETH, USDT, or USDC.
- Payout requests follow the weekly or bi-weekly schedule for each programme; approved payouts are typically processed within 24 hours, with up to 5 business days allowed for verification or compliance review.
- The minimum payout is $150.
- There is no FundYourFX fee on payouts. Standard bank fees or blockchain network fees may still apply.

13. Is there a profit cap?
No. There is no profit cap at any stage.
14. What is the 25% Payout Rule?
Your profit from any single trading day must not exceed 25% of your total accumulated profit. If your highest-profit day is above the 25% limit, your account will not be breached. You can continue trading until your total profit increases and your highest-profit day falls below the 25% threshold.
Once the 25% requirement is met, you can request a payout, provided all other payout requirements are also satisfied.
Example: If your highest-profit day is $2,500, your total accumulated profit must be more than $10,000 to meet the 25% requirement.
15. What is the difference between a soft breach and a hard breach?
- A soft breach is a minor rule violation that is tolerated up to 2 occurrences, for example, the Stop Loss timing rule, the 60-second HFT rule, or the news-timing rule. Exceeding the allowed number of soft breaches results in an account breach.
- A hard breach is an immediate account breach on a single occurrence, for example, exceeding the maximum drawdown or exceeding the stacking limit.
16. What happens if I breach an account? Can I retry?
- A breached account is deactivated and is no longer eligible for trading or profit sharing.
- You can start again with a new challenge. Free resets are available on some plans and to higher Desk tiers (see the tiers article).
17. Is KYC or a contract required?
Yes. Before your first payout, you must complete identity verification (KYC) and accept the Terms and Conditions that govern the program.
18. How does the Growth Plan work?
The account balance increases every 3 payouts, according to the trader’s plan.
