'Funded' means a simulated or virtual account; GFN is not a broker and does not hold client funds." --- Getting paid # Payouts, and when the clock starts. Payouts run on a 14-day cycle. The clock starts at your first trade on a simulated funded account, not at purchase and not at your first evaluation trade, so buying an account on the 1st does not make the 15th a payout date. Subsequent cycles run every 14 calendar days while the account stays eligible.

Percentages are what the industry publishes. These are the same rules in dollars, worked on a $100,000 simulated account, so there is nothing left to convert. - **Standard payout period**: Every 14 days - **Clock starts**: First funded trade Not at purchase, and not on evaluation trades. - **Counted in**: Calendar days Not trading days. You do not have to trade every day in the cycle. - **Faster cycle**: 7 days, as an add-on Available on 1 Step where selected at checkout. Not the default. - **Instant withdrawal cap 2% of $100,000**: $2,000 per cycle Above a $3,000 buffer. 1 Step and 2 Step have no cap. - **KYC**: Before payout Identity, account and payout details must all belong to the same person. Plan applicability ## Which programmes this rule applies to Our three programmes do not share one rulebook. This table is the part of the page to read before you buy. - **Instant Applies**: Every 14 days, capped The account is funded from purchase, but the timer still starts at your first trade. Each cycle is capped at $2,000 on a $100,000 account, above a $3,000 buffer. - **1 Step Applies**: Every 14 days Starts at the first trade on the funded account after you pass. Evaluation trades do not start the clock. A 7-day cycle is available as a paid add-on. - **2 Step Applies**: Every 14 days Same rule: the timer begins on the funded account, after both phases are complete. Why it exists ## The reasoning, stated plainly A fixed cycle is easier to plan around than a discretionary one, and stating where the clock starts prevents the most common payout dispute on the site. The honest part of this page is the limitation: the timer ignores everything you did during the evaluation, however long that took. Worked example ## The same rule, as a number A $100,000 simulated account, because that is the size most people are deciding about. ### A 1 Step from purchase to first payout Dates are illustrative; the rule is the sequence, not the calendar. - **1 January**: Account purchased The payout clock does not start here. - **3 January**: First evaluation trade Still does not start here. - **20 January**: 10% target cleared Funded account issued after any checks. - **22 January**: First funded trade The 14-day clock starts here. - **5 February**: First payout eligible 14 calendar days later. You are not obliged to withdraw on an eligible date. Profits can stay in the account, though a payout does reduce the cushion above your drawdown level. Commonly misread ## What traders get wrong here Every item below has cost somebody an account. They are published for that reason rather than for completeness. “The 14 days start when I buy” They start at the first trade on the funded account. This is the most common payout misunderstanding we see. “I have to trade every day in the cycle”: You do not. The cycle counts calendar days. “A payout closes the account” It does not. It reduces the profit in the account, which reduces the cushion above your drawdown level - that is the consequence worth planning for.
