Lesson 2 of 4 · Payouts

When can you request a payout on each program?

Essential3 min readMyFundedCapital Research · rules as of 17 Oct 2026

Short answer

The first request opens 7 days after the first funded trade on the 1-Step, 7 on Prediction Markets, 14 on the 2-Step, 14 on Instant Funded and 14 on MFC Stocks. Each program then has its own cycle, minimum and cap.

01

The clock starts with your first funded trade, not the day you buy or pass.

02

Each request has a minimum and a cap; check both before you submit.

03

An eligible date means you may request, not that the payout is approved.

When the clock starts

The clock does not start when you buy the challenge, pass the evaluation or receive the funded credentials. It starts with your first trade on the funded account.

Example: you pass a 2-Step on a Friday and the funded account is issued the next Wednesday. You place the first funded trade on Thursday. Your first request opens 14 days after that Thursday, and the next one 14 days later. Trading a day earlier moves the whole calendar a day earlier.

Instant Funded counts from your first trade, as there is no evaluation. After its first request, each later one needs a qualifying trade in the cycle, so a cycle without trading does not qualify.

Minimums and caps in practice

On Prediction Markets the minimum scales with the account: $200 on $10,000 and $2,000 on $100,000. If eligible profit is below it, you cannot request yet.

On the other programs the minimum is a flat amount: $50 on the 1-Step, 2-Step and MFC Stocks, $100 on Instant Funded. On a small account in a quiet cycle, it can be worth waiting for the next one.

The cap works the other way. A request is never more than $5,000, so on a large account the cap, not your profit, can set the size of a payout.

Faster cycles with add-ons

Some programs offer a faster rhythm at checkout. The 2-Step and MFC Stocks can move to weekly payouts with the 7-Day Payout Cycle add-on, and the 1-Step and 2-Step offer a Payout On-Demand add-on. Add-ons are chosen when you buy; check that the one you want appears on your order.

A faster cycle helps most when your profit arrives steadily. If you tend to have a few strong days a month, the consistency rule and the minimum may decide your rhythm more than the cycle does.

Eligible is not the same as paid

An eligible date means you may submit a request. Approval still depends on the funded rules: completed identity verification, the consistency rule, the minimum amount, and on Prediction Markets, no open positions. Prediction Markets accounts are also disabled for trading while a withdrawal is being reviewed. Check the next eligible date in your Dashboard before you plan around it.

Questions

Do I have to request a payout as soon as it opens?

No. The date is when you may request. Many traders wait until eligible profit and the consistency share look right.

Does a payout lower my loss floors?

Do not assume so. A payout reduces the funds in the account, so check the limits your Dashboard shows after the payout and leave room for open risk.
