01 / analysis
Payout timing is only one field
Record the earliest request date, processing window, minimum trading days, minimum payout, split, method, fees and any account-stage condition. A provider may publish a calendar while reserving review rights or applying different rules by program, region, platform or account size.
02 / analysis
Check the balance and consistency conditions
Look for requirements involving profit targets, buffer, drawdown, consistency, daily limits, prohibited strategies, news, overnight positions and open trades at the time of a request. Write each condition in its own row and identify whether the rule is objective, discretionary or unclear.
03 / analysis
Verify identity, payment and jurisdiction details
Review KYC, payment method, tax forms, restricted countries, simulated or live account language, chargebacks and dispute processes. Confirm who controls the payout decision and what documents may be requested. Never treat a historical testimonial as a current contractual promise.
04 / analysis
Use the current source and retain the snapshot
Save the official rule page, terms, account type, effective date and review date. If a rule changes, compare the old and new wording and flag the impact. Prop Rules Check is an informational comparison service; it does not provide trading advice, guarantee approval or promise payouts.

Frequently asked questions
What should I compare in prop firm payout rules?
Compare eligibility, minimum days, request window, processing time, minimum amount, profit split, consistency, drawdown buffer, fees, payment method, verification, restricted regions and the exact program stage.
Does a published payout policy guarantee that a trader will be paid?
No. The current terms, account status, verification, rule compliance, payment conditions and provider review can affect a request. Read the complete agreement and risk disclosures directly with the provider.
