80%, 90%, or 100% claims need payout caps and eligibility rules beside them.
Rule Guide
Prop firm payout rules before you buy.
A high profit split is only useful if the trader can actually withdraw. TSB treats payout timing, caps, buffers, KYC, payment method, and consistency rules as part of the real price.
The first withdrawal often has more conditions than recurring withdrawals.
Country, identity checks, and payout rails can block an otherwise good account.

| BEM Funding | BEM Extended Challenge | Up to $100K | 4% | 8% / Two-phase evaluation with minimum profitable trading requirement | Payout split by BEM account route Weekly payout positioning on public homepage |
Official/source page | BEM Funding is ready as a source-backed 2-step benchmark: 10/5 targets, 4% daily loss, 8% max loss, and weekly payout positioning. | |

Official/source page | BrightFunded is not empty coverage anymore: use it as a two-step static-drawdown row, but keep checkout price and funded split as verification items. | |
| Crypto Fund Trader | Standard 2-Phase Evaluation | $100K crypto benchmark | 5% | 10% static / Static drawdown; paid add-ons can alter daily/max limits | 80% base / 90% add-on Fast scholarship reward processing context |
Official/source page | Crypto Fund Trader has enough concrete data for crypto filters: 8/4 targets, 5% daily, 10% max, 80%-90% split context, and a 100K fee benchmark. | |
| DayTraders | 150K Trail benchmark | $150K | No daily loss limit | $4,500 intraday trailing drawdown / Intraday trailing drawdown; Pro activation after pass | 100% simulated profit split on Pro Payout after 8 qualifying days in Pro account |
Official/source page | DayTraders has attractive futures economics, but the intraday trail and consistency rule should be visible before any offer or ranking push. | |

Official/source page | E8 Crypto should remain tied to E8 Markets authority but filtered separately because market selection, payout option, and dynamic drawdown change the trader fit. | |
| E8 Futures | E8 Signature Futures 150K | $150K | $3,000 daily pause in performance stage | $4,500 EOD dynamic drawdown / EOD dynamic drawdown in challenge; soft daily pause in performance stage | 80% Payout after performance requirements |
Official/source page | E8 Futures is a clean 6% futures benchmark with EOD dynamic drawdown, but daily-pause language is performance-stage specific and should not be confused with an evaluation breach. | |

| Fintokei | ProTrader | $100K benchmark ($10K-$400K range) | 5% | 10% / Static daily and maximum loss limits; 3% max open-trade risk | 80% initial ProTrader performance reward Instant payouts after funded performance reward rules |
Official/source page | ProTrader is the clean FTMO-style Fintokei row. Keep SwiftTrader and StartTrader separate because loss limits, targets, and account economics differ. | |
| Funded Futures Family | 150K EOD benchmark | $150K EOD benchmark | No daily loss limit | $4,000 eval / $4,500 funded EOD drawdown / End-of-day trailing drawdown; no DLL; payout days require minimum profitable days | Funded payout share by selected account rules 5 trading days to payout on benchmark family row |
Official/source page | Funded Futures Family is no longer an empty row: 150K benchmark, 9K target, no DLL, EOD drawdown, payout-day requirement, list price, and reset price are mapped. | |
| Funded Trader Markets | 2-Step Plus 100K benchmark | $100K | 4% | 10% / Balance-based daily drawdown and balance-based overall drawdown | 70% On-demand reward cycle |
Official/source page | FTM should not be treated as only instant funding. The 2-Step Plus benchmark is cleaner for rules comparison, while instant rows need their own add-on and drawdown pass. |
How to read this rule
Payout rules decide whether a passed challenge becomes useful. A trader should read payout pages before checkout, not after reaching funded status.
TSB separates payout information from promo ranking because a discount is much less valuable if the payout path has caps, delays, or consistency traps that do not fit the trader.
Before checkout, verify
- What is the first payout timing and recurring payout cadence?
- Is there a payout cap, safety buffer, or consistency rule?
- Does the profit split change after the first payout or scaling milestone?
- Which payout methods and KYC countries are supported?

Trailing drawdown
Trailing drawdown can move with open or closed equity depending on the firm. The useful question is not whether a firm says "trailing", but when the threshold moves, when it stops, and how it affects payout eligibility.
Open path
Daily loss vs max loss
Daily loss is the short-term guardrail. Maximum loss is the account survival line. A challenge can look cheap until those two limits interact with position size, commissions, spreads, and payout timing.
Open path
Minimum trading days
Minimum trading days are not just a pass-speed rule. They can change risk behavior by forcing traders to spread performance across sessions instead of finishing a challenge with one oversized trade.
Open path
Profit split comparison
Profit split is the most marketable number on a prop firm offer, but it is not the full economics. A lower split with cleaner payout rules can be better than a headline 100% split with tight caps.

FAQ
Payout rules questions
Should I choose the highest profit split?
Not by itself. Profit split should be compared with first payout timing, caps, consistency rules, payout method, and the probability of keeping the account active.
Are payout rules stable?
They can change. TSB keeps source coverage visible and treats payout details as checkout-sensitive unless there is an official source snapshot.
