💰 How Does the Payout Process Work?
At The Edge Funder, we reward disciplined, consistent, and profitable trading. To maintain fairness and encourage responsible risk management, we've established a clear payout process for all funded traders.
✅ Minimum Trading Days to Request Payout: 7 Unique Days
To qualify for a payout, traders must trade on at least 7 separate calendar days during the payout period. Each day must meet the following criteria:
Net Profit Requirement: You must make at least $150 net profit in a single day for it to count.
Trade Activity: At least one trade must be opened and closed during the day.
Calendar Separation: Days must be distinct (no combining multiple days' activity).
📌 Important — When Do Trading Days Start Counting? Your 7-day count begins the day after your payout is successfully processed. The day your payout is approved does not count as a valid trading day toward your next payout, even if you traded profitably that day. However, any profits earned on your payout day will count toward your account balance and future payout calculations — only the day itself is excluded from the trading day count.
💵 Payout Amount: 50% of Profits Over the Threshold
When requesting a payout, you may withdraw up to 50% of your profits above the account's threshold.
The profit threshold remains in place until your 4th payout.
After your 4th payout, you can request the full amount, including the threshold balance.
📊 Profit Thresholds by Account Size
You must exceed the following profits before being eligible to withdraw:
| Account Size | Profit Threshold |
|---|---|
| $25K | $1,500 |
| $50K | $3,000 |
| $100K | $6,000 |
| $150K | $9,000 |
🔁 Profit Split: Always 90/10
The Edge Funder maintains a 90/10 profit split for all traders. You will always keep 90% of your withdrawal, and we retain 10%. This does not change after any number of payouts.
📘 Example Payout Scenario
Account Size: $100K
Profit Threshold: $6,000
Net Profit: $6,200
Eligible Days: 7 calendar days with $150+ in profit
Withdrawal Amount: 50% of $200 = $100 payout
💲 Minimum Payout Request Amount: $150
To submit a payout request, the withdrawal amount must be at least $150. Requests below this amount will not be processed.
⏳ Important: Wait for Funds to Clear Before Trading
Once you submit a payout request, you must wait for your funds to be fully removed from the account before continuing to trade. If you trade after submitting a request and incur losses that reduce your available profits below the requested amount, your payout will be denied.
🔄 Resubmitting After a Denied Payout
If your payout request is denied, you must meet both of the following before resubmitting:
Wait one full day after the denial — same-day resubmissions will not be processed.
Complete one additional valid trading day — a profitable day that meets all standard counting requirements ($150 minimum net profit, within consistency cap, no rule violations).
If your account is Risk Paused due to hitting the daily loss limit, you must wait until your account is active again before either requirement can begin.
📌 Important — When Do Trading Days Start Counting?
Your 7-day count begins the day after your payout is successfully processed. The payout day itself does not count as a valid trading day toward your next payout.
If you trade on the same day your payout is approved and finish with a profit, those profits will be added to your account balance and count toward future payout calculations — but that day will not count as one of your 7 required trading days. Your trading day count begins the following day.
Example:
Payout approved: Monday
You trade Monday and profit $300 → profits count toward your balance ✅, but Monday does NOT count as trading day 1 ❌
Trading Day 1 begins: Tuesday
