Funding Traders payout rules: the path to your first payout

Worked on the account you pick, from the help center. Where the firm publishes no cap on a payout, the stations list the rules instead.

2-Step Pro6 $50K: from purchase to the payout rules

How to read it: no published cap, withdrawal target or share of the profit bounds each request here, so no balance is drawn: the stations list the rules that decide each payout.

Consistency

Funding Traders consistency rule, worked out

Instant Funding and the 1-Step Pro funded account state a consistency rule on payouts; 2-Step Pro6 states none.

Largest profitable day ÷ net profit (since your last payout request, or during the evaluation), capped by each plan. “Under” means the day must stay below the cap; “at most” means it may equal it.
