Educational checklist – not a payout decision

Use this to sanity-check a payout request before you open the firm’s dashboard. Start with a checked-source preset when one fits your exact program, or use Custom and enter the rule values yourself.

Review Your Payout Setup

Firm / Program Preset

Use Custom if your account size, payout number, purchase date, payment method, or dashboard state differs.
Source check required: preset values are not eligibility, approval, or advice. The strongest result this page can return is still source review.

Choose a preset to see source scope, checked date, next review date, and fields that still need manual review.

Your current profit before the planned request.
Use the firm’s definition of a qualifying day.
Use the clock that applies to your account path.
The amount you plan to request.
Blank means the preset does not safely map this field.
Blank means the source did not give a numeric day count for this field.
Enter a fixed wait only if the source states one.
Official minimum request or payout amount, if stated.
Use dashboard or terms-backed status only.
Do not infer this from screenshots or chatter.
Check best-day, cap, or concentration limits.
Some firms require positions closed before request.
Do not enter IDs, tax numbers, or payment credentials here.
Use the current firm help center, rules page, or dashboard.

FAQ

Why are some preset fields blank?

Blank means the checked source did not give a safe numeric value for this exact field. Do not treat blank as zero. Use the official source, dashboard, or Custom mode.

What usually blocks a first payout?

Common blockers are a missed trading-day count, a profit threshold that is not actually cleared after buffers, an unresolved consistency rule, open positions, missing KYC/tax/payment setup, or a firm review that sees something this checklist cannot see.

What does “Ready for source review” mean?

It means the values you entered did not trip the checklist. It does not mean the firm will approve the payout. Re-open the official source and dashboard before submitting.

Should I enter tax IDs, login details, or payment addresses?

No. This page does not need personal credentials or payment details. Keep that inside the firm’s official KYC, tax, and payout process.

How This Checklist Works And Its Limits

This checklist uses values you enter plus official-source preset rows checked July 5, 2026. Presets lock after 30 days unless refreshed. Presets fill only checked public source values; re-check the official source and your dashboard before submitting anything.

The page does not connect to your account, read trades, evaluate violations, predict payout approval, verify KYC/tax/payment status, or use social chatter, screenshots, affiliate pages, signup links, or review-site comments. BestProps is not affiliated with the firms listed here.
