How payouts work on a funded account

What a payout is, what has to be true before one can go through, and why your firm handles it rather than the app.

A sim funded account works differently from an evaluation. It never passes and never completes on a profit target, because there is nothing left to prove. Instead you take payouts from it, and the account keeps running.

Your firm executes payouts

There is no payout request page in the terminal. Payouts are carried out by your firm, from their side, and your firm decides its own schedule, minimums and process.

That means the first step is always your firm's own instructions, not something in the Hyperprop app. What the platform does is enforce the conditions and move the balance.

What has to be true first

Three things gate a payout:

  1. You are flat. A payout cannot be processed while a position is open, so close everything first.

  2. Consistency is satisfied, if your firm uses it. On a funded account, consistency gates payouts rather than passing, and it is measured on the current payout cycle rather than the account's whole history.

  3. You are within the payout count. Firms can cap how many payouts an account can take.

A payout is not a loss

When a payout goes through, your balance falls. The platform shifts your daily baseline and your high-water mark down by the same amount, so the withdrawal does not register as a trading loss and does not push you toward a drawdown breach.

This is worth knowing, because a falling balance would otherwise look alarming on a trailing drawdown.

The loss floor

Firms can attach a locked floor to a payout. If they do, an equity level is fixed at the moment of payout, and if the account later falls to it, the account fails.

The reasoning is straightforward: it stops an account taking profit out and then risking whatever is left. If your firm uses this, treat the floor as your real downside after every payout, not the original drawdown limit.

Questions about money

Amounts, timing, splits, how you are paid and what you are owed are all your firm's, not Hyperprop's. Hyperprop moves the simulated balance according to the rules your firm configured and does not handle payments.
