Introduction

When considering scaling with a prop firm, it is very important to know how payout eligibility, payout splitting processes and scaling rules all work. In this post we are going to take a look into how the Funded Prime programme works in regards to payout eligibility, a split of profits and then how to scale your account - and so you can determine if this funding platform works for you. We consider everything from the minimum number of trading days to drawdown limits, profit targets and then rules around how to scale your account properly.
 

Payout Eligibility: What You Need To Do To Withdraw

To withdraw funds from the account with Funded Prime as part of that payout process, you need to satisfy a number of eligibility parameters. Below you can find the main points that you need to keep in mind:
 

Minimum trading days and evaluation stage

You need to, of course, complete the challenge phase before you can move to the funded live account/stage, as per Funded Prime Customer support. 

• For “Prime Traders - One Phase” you will be able to request/withdraw after 14 days in the funded stage.
• For “Prime Traders - Two Phase” you will be able to withdraw after 7 stages you have funded.
• For the “Stock Traders” version the timing is again 14 days.

Positive Account Balance & No Rule Violations

In order to receive a payout, you need to finish the funded account period (or be in the funded phase) with a positive account balance.  Any drawdown rule violations, inconsistency in the lot size, news trading violations, etc., can make you ineligible for a payout.
 

Completed KYC & Payout Details 

Before requesting a payout, submit your KYC (Know Your Customer) confirmation, have a payment method in place and have confirmed you’ve met all required terms for your account. 
 

Minimum Payout Amount & Payout Frequency 

• Once you become eligible, the minimum payout for Funded Prime is about $100 (or equivalent).
• Regarding the frequency of payouts: depending on the challenge you’re on, the “One Phase” & “Stock” models will be every 14 days, and the “Two Phases” model will be every 7 days. 

Tip: Always verify which plan you are on (One Phase vs Two Phase vs Stock vs Crypto etc) you are on, because payout eligibility timing and rules are sometimes different. If you search for “Funded Prime payout eligibility” using those keywords will allow you to see the most updated terms.
 

Profit​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Split: Your Share Of The Trading Profits

The competitive profit split of Funded Prime was one of the main reasons I was drawn to the company. The fundamental idea of the program, as I understand it, is as follows.

• The first month, traders are given an 80% profit split of the net profits of the funded account.
• If a good performance and consistency are maintained, the split can be raised to as much as 90% (most commonly referred to as the "Prime Split").
• The precise split might be contingent on the type of challenge, the size of the account, and your meeting certain performance and scaling criteria.

How to Maximise Your Profit Split Advantage

• Of course, the most important thing is to be consistent in your trading and at the same time, watch your drawdown and daily loss limits.
• Also, choosing a challenge that matches your style (Forex, Stocks, Crypto) would let you reach the targets more easily and more quickly.
• After showing your good performance, you might be given an opportunity to ask for a higher profit split or be automatically qualified for it.
• Be sure you are benefiting from the split by making the payout request at the right time rather than delaying and risking the change of rules.

Scaling Rules: Growing Your Funded Account with Funded Prime

Scaling a funded account with Funded Prime is one of the ultimate goals for many traders - the better you do, the bigger your account size, the higher your allocations & the better your profit splits. Here are the scaling rules to get you started:
 

Scaling mechanisms at work

• Once you are consistently trading well & your account's funded, Funded Prime may offer you a bigger account size or higher allocation, depending on how you're performing.
• Challenges abound - they offer multiple tiers & account sizes ( anything from $5K to 200K). No fixed profit target on the live funded account (it's a bit different for some models). You just need to keep a positive balance & stick to the rules.

Drawdown/Risk Rules To Keep in Mind

When you start scaling, risk management is crucial. Here are some of the key rules to keep in mind :

• Daily Loss Limit - for most models, it's a 5% loss of equity from the previous day.
• Total Drawdown Limit - usually a static 10% of your starting balance for most plans.
• Crypto & meme coin models are a bit different - you may have a trailing drawdown limit rather than a static one.

Best Practices for Scaling

• To avoid any issues, keep your trading behavior consistent, try to avoid any one-off big wins that might raise some eyebrows.
• Stick to your average lot size & volume distribution - you don't want to breach that "inconsistent lot size" rule.
• Try to avoid news trading on high-impact days if you can - depending on the challenge, you don't want to get caught out.
• Keep a close eye on your funded account balance & equity growth - the faster you grow within limits without taking too many risks, the quicker you'll qualify for scaling.

What's at Stake For You

Whether you are a beginner trading on prop or an experienced trader, places like Funded Prime offer a pretty compelling path forward:

• Payout eligibility means you only get paid when you meet the criteria - so you trade with discipline.
• Profit split is pretty clear - You get to keep most of the money you earn (around 80 - 90%) instead of the company taking it.
• Scaling rules let you grow your funded account if you perform well, giving you greater long-term income potential.

Final Thoughts

If you are seriously considering signing up with Funded Prime, focus on 3 main things: making consistent profits, avoiding any rule infractions, trading smart within the risk limits & getting ready for the payout process. The combination of clear payout eligibility, generous profit split & useful scaling rules makes it a standout option for funded traders.
