What governs a prop-firm payout, under the rules on record: 52 of 59 splits, 17 first-payout windows

What each clause does to the payout calendar

A payout is not one rule; it is a short chain of published clauses, each acting on a different part of the calendar. Two of them — the first-payout window and the cycle — bound how many payouts a year are even possible; a minimum decides whether a given request may be filed at all; the split decides only how large each one is. The record keeps them as separate fields, so this page does too — and it is far thinner on the calendar clauses than on the split.

• First-payout window Sets day zero: the earliest point after the account is funded at which a request may be filed. A blank here is not "immediately". Recorded values here run from day 0 to 14 days. Whether a firm counts calendar or trading days is only known where the attached quote says so — a day type is named in 1 of 6 attached quotes. Recorded 17 of 59 · sourced 6 · source not attached 11
• Payout cycle Sets the spacing after day zero: how often a further request may be filed. Recorded values run from every 1 day to every 30 days. A cycle of C days allows at most 365 ÷ C further requests in a 365-day year, rounded down — the values table below prints that bound for every recorded cycle. A blank here is not "on demand". Recorded 22 of 59 · sourced 9 · source not attached 13
• Minimum Sets a floor a request must clear — a minimum amount per payout, or a minimum size for a day to count toward the window. A floor can push the first request later than the window alone would allow, without changing the window itself. A blank here is not a zero minimum. Minimum payout recorded 2 of 59 · minimum winning day recorded 1 of 59
• Profit split Sets the size of each payout, not its date. It is the most-recorded clause and the least calendar-relevant one; the record holds a single split figure per rule set. Recorded 52 of 59 · sourced 35 · source not attached 17
• Consistency rule (upstream) Where the record has one, it is enforced upstream of any payout — when a phase is passed, or per trade — never at the payout desk: 18 rule sets carry one — 17 tested at a phase pass, 1 applied per trade — and 0 at the payout stage. A best-day rule with limit L clears only when the best day is at or below L% of total profit — so total profit must reach T* = best day ÷ L, with L written as a fraction. Under the limit most often on record, 50% (5 rule sets), a $1,000 best day means the phase cannot clear before total profit reaches $2,000 — illustrative arithmetic, not any firm's figure. 8 rule sets word this as blocking the pass, 9 as raising the target; the arithmetic of T* is the same. Tested at the pass, it moves the date the phase clears, and every payout date after it, which is why it belongs on this page even though the record does not attach it to payouts. Mechanism and worked arithmetic: the consistency rule · list of rule sets with one: mechanics/consistency-rule.

What the record does not say

Values on record

Distinct values per clause, counted in rule sets. A rule set whose value differs by size counts once per value. Splits are held as a single figure per rule set.

Methodology

Sources and evidence

Every value in the table traces to a rules/<slug>/<size>.json file; where a provenance entry is attached, the dataset carries its source URL, retrieval date and quoted sentence for that exact field. Per-firm pages under firm-rules print the quotes; verification records carry the two-pass reads where they exist; rule watch lists dated changes. The full machine-readable table is prop-firm-payout-rules-data.json (CC BY 4.0).
