What a payout is

A payout is a performance-based payment from CORE TRADING's own funds, calculated from your simulated results under the Trader Agreement. It is not a withdrawal of your money and not a share of real trading profits.

Eligibility

  • The account must be in the funded stage and in good standing, with no unresolved rule breach.
  • You must have passed identity verification (see the KYC and Identity Verification Policy) and provided any tax form we request.
  • Your declared residence must be a place we serve, and you must pass a screening against U.S. sanctions lists (repeated periodically). Any open fraud, duplicate-account or sanctions review on your account must be resolved first.
  • Each payout cycle needs qualifying days. Flex: 5 profitable days, each with at least $100 / $150 / $200 / $250 net profit. Pro: 3 profitable days, each with at least $150 / $200 / $300 / $400 net profit. Amounts are by account size, $25K to $150K.
  • Consistency (Pro accounts only): no single day may account for more than 40% of the profit in the cycle. Flex funded accounts have no consistency rule.
  • Only one payout request may be open per account at a time.
  • You must have accepted the current version of this Payout Policy and the Trader Agreement.
  • $25,000 account: balance must stay at or above $26,100 after the payout; minimum request $500; maximum per request (before the split) $1,000 on Flex and $1,500 on Pro.
  • $50,000 account: balance must stay at or above $52,100 after the payout; minimum request $500; maximum per request (before the split) $2,000 on Flex and $2,500 on Pro.
  • $100,000 account: balance must stay at or above $103,100 after the payout; minimum request $500; maximum per request (before the split) $2,500 on Flex and $3,500 on Pro.
  • $150,000 account: balance must stay at or above $154,600 after the payout; minimum request $500; maximum per request (before the split) $3,000 on Flex and $4,500 on Pro.

Amount

You receive 90% of the approved gross amount; amounts are calculated in cents and any fraction of a cent is rounded down. Taxes may be withheld where required.

Review

Every request is reviewed by a person. The reviewer checks each eligibility requirement and the trading record, and records the result, the rule each decision relies on, and the evidence reviewed. We may ask you for information, and we may delay a decision while we investigate suspected fraud, account sharing, duplicate accounts or a rule breach.

Our target is to process approved payouts within 3 business days. This is a target, not a guarantee.

[PLACEHOLDER: owner to specify payout methods, payout provider and any transfer fees.]

Denials and appeals

If we deny a request, we tell you the reason and the published rule it is based on.

You may appeal a denial once, within 14 days of the decision (proposed period), using the Appeal button on your account page, with any information you want us to consider. A different reviewer, where available, will decide the appeal; we record the outcome and tell you the reason. If the appeal succeeds, the payout is approved. Questions: [PLACEHOLDER: support email].

Banned accounts

If your user account is banned (for example after a payment dispute), payout requests made before the ban are held and decided individually. No new requests can be made.
