How to Request a Payout From a Prop Firm: The Step-by-Step Process

To request a payout from a prop firm, you submit your wallet address in the dashboard after meeting the minimum trading days and profit threshold: at OctoFunded, the first payout is available 14 days after passing the evaluation, with a $50 minimum, and processes within 24 to 48 hours as USDT or USDC with a public transaction hash you can verify on the blockchain.

Requesting a payout is the moment your trading profit becomes real money in your wallet. The process is simple when you know what the firm requires: eligibility timing, wallet setup, submission steps, and verification. This guide walks you through the entire process at OctoFunded, from the day you pass the evaluation to the moment the stablecoin lands in your wallet.

How do you request a payout from a prop firm?

You request a payout in your dashboard after meeting the minimum trading days and profit threshold. At OctoFunded, you submit your wallet address, request the amount, and the payout processes within 24 to 48 hours with a public transaction hash.

Here is the process in six steps:

1. Pass the evaluation. Hit the profit target within the loss limits.
2. Wait 14 days. The first payout is available after this waiting period.
3. Complete KYC. Submit identification and proof of address in the dashboard.
4. Enter your wallet address. Provide a USDT or USDC wallet address (not an exchange).
5. Submit the payout request. Specify the amount or select all available profit.
6. Wait for processing. The payout goes out within 24 to 48 hours with a public transaction hash.

Once the transaction is sent, the hash appears in your dashboard and at octofunded.com/verify. You can click the hash to see the blockchain record and confirm the amount, the recipient address, and the timestamp.

When can you request your first payout from a prop firm?

The first payout is available 14 days after you pass the evaluation at OctoFunded. You must meet the minimum trading days requirement and have at least $50 in approved profit.

The timeline looks like this:

• Day 1: You pass the evaluation. Your funded account is activated.
• Day 1 to 14: You trade the funded account. This is the waiting period.
• Day 15 onward: You can request the first payout, subject to the rules.

After the first payout, you can request a payout every 7 days. So if you request your first payout on day 15, the next eligible date is day 22, then day 29, and so on. There is no limit to how many payouts you can request as long as you meet the minimum trading days and have approved profit.

What are minimum trading days?

Minimum trading days is the number of days you must trade before each payout. On a 1-Step account, it is 2 days. On a 2-Step account, it is 3 days. This means you need at least 2 or 3 days with at least one trade opened and closed during market hours.

The rule exists to prevent traders from requesting payouts every single day without active trading. You meet it automatically if you trade regularly. If you take a break for a week, you need to log 2 or 3 trading days again before the next payout.

What do you need to request a payout?

You need a USDT or USDC wallet address, completed KYC verification, at least $50 in approved profit, and to meet the minimum trading days. You submit the request in your dashboard.

Wallet address requirements

Your wallet must be:

• Your own wallet. Not an exchange deposit address. Use a self-custody wallet like MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Ledger, or similar.
• USDT or USDC compatible. The wallet must support TRC20 (Tron) or ERC20 (Ethereum) stablecoins, depending on which network you choose.
• The same address every time. For security and compliance, most firms require you to use the same wallet address for all payouts.

If you provide an exchange deposit address, the payout may be delayed or rejected. Exchanges often rotate deposit addresses, and many compliance systems flag exchange addresses as higher risk. Use your own wallet.

KYC requirements

KYC (Know Your Customer) is required before the first payout. You will submit:

• Government-issued ID. Passport, driver's license, or national ID card.
• Proof of address. Utility bill, bank statement, or rental agreement dated within the last 3 months.
• Selfie or liveness check. To confirm the ID matches the person requesting the payout.

KYC is submitted through the dashboard. Most verifications complete within a few hours. If there is an issue, support will contact you. Do not delay KYC until you are ready to request a payout. Complete it as soon as you get the funded account, so the first payout request goes through without delay.

Step-by-step: how to request a payout at OctoFunded

Here is the detailed walkthrough.

Step 1: Check your eligibility

Before you submit, confirm:

• 14 days have passed since you passed the evaluation (for the first payout).
• You have at least $50 in approved profit on your dashboard.
• You met the minimum trading days (2 days for 1-Step, 3 days for 2-Step).
• Your KYC is approved. Check the dashboard for status.

If all four are true, you can proceed.

Step 2: Log in to your dashboard

Go to your OctoFunded dashboard. Find the Payouts or Withdrawals section. It will show:

• Available profit: the amount eligible for payout.
• Next eligible payout date: when you can request the next withdrawal.
• Payout history: all previous payouts with transaction hashes.

Step 3: Enter your wallet address

If this is your first payout, you will enter your USDT or USDC wallet address. Double-check the address. A wrong address means the funds are sent to the wrong wallet, and blockchain transactions cannot be reversed.

Choose the network: TRC20 (Tron) or ERC20 (Ethereum). TRC20 has lower fees and faster confirmation. ERC20 is slower and more expensive but more widely supported. Most traders use TRC20 for USDT.

Step 4: Enter the payout amount

You can request:

• The full available profit. This is the default option.
• A partial amount. If you want to leave some profit in the account.

Remember the $50 minimum. If you have $150 available and request $120, you are leaving $30 in the account, which is below the minimum for the next payout. Plan accordingly.

Step 5: Submit the request

Click Submit or Request Payout. The system will:

• Validate your eligibility. Check the trading days, the minimum amount, and the timing.
• Queue the payout for processing. It enters the compliance and payout queue.
• Send you a confirmation. You will see a pending status in the dashboard.

At this point, the request is submitted. You wait for processing.

Step 6: Wait for processing and verification

Most payouts process within 24 to 48 hours. Once sent, the dashboard updates with:

• Transaction hash. A clickable link to the blockchain explorer.
• Amount sent. The exact USDT or USDC amount.
• Date and time. When the transaction was broadcast.

The transaction hash is also posted publicly at octofunded.com/verify. Go there, search by your account number or date, and see your payout certificate with the hash.

Click the hash. It takes you to Tronscan (for TRC20) or Etherscan (for ERC20). The blockchain shows the sender address, receiver address (your wallet), exact amount, and timestamp. That is your proof.

Step 7: Check your wallet

Open your wallet app or extension. You should see the USDT or USDC balance updated. If the transaction hash shows confirmed on the blockchain but you do not see it in your wallet, refresh the wallet or check the transaction history. Sometimes wallet apps take a few minutes to update the display.

If the transaction hash is confirmed and the amount matches, the payout is complete.

How long does a prop firm payout take?

Most payouts process within 24 to 48 hours at OctoFunded. Once sent, the transaction hash is posted publicly at octofunded.com/verify and the funds arrive in your wallet as soon as the blockchain confirms the transaction.

Processing time depends on:

• Compliance review. Every payout goes through a compliance check to ensure the account meets the rules and KYC is complete.
• Business days. Payouts are processed during business hours, Monday to Friday. A request submitted on Friday evening may not process until Monday.
• Blockchain confirmation. Once the transaction is broadcast, Tron (TRC20) confirms in under a minute. Ethereum (ERC20) can take several minutes depending on network congestion.

If 48 hours pass and you do not see a transaction hash, contact support with your account number and request date. In most cases, there is a compliance hold (missing KYC, rule violation, or pending review), and support will explain the issue.

How do you verify a prop firm payout was sent?

Check the transaction hash at octofunded.com/verify or in your dashboard. Click the hash to see the blockchain record, which shows the amount, the sender, the receiver, and the timestamp. The blockchain is immutable and public.

Here is how to verify:

1. Go to octofunded.com/verify. All payout certificates are listed publicly.
2. Search for your payout. Use your account number, date, or amount.
3. Click the transaction hash. It links to the blockchain explorer.
4. Check the blockchain. Confirm the amount, the recipient address (your wallet), and the timestamp.

If the blockchain shows the transaction confirmed and the amount matches your payout request, that is proof the firm sent it. If the amount is wrong or the address is different, contact support immediately.

Common payout request mistakes

Here are the mistakes that delay or block payouts.

Requesting too early

The most common error is requesting a payout before the 14-day waiting period ends, or before meeting the minimum trading days. The system will reject the request. Wait until you are eligible.

Using an exchange deposit address

Some traders copy their Binance or Coinbase deposit address and paste it into the payout request. This can cause delays because:

• Exchange deposit addresses sometimes rotate or expire.
• Compliance systems flag exchange addresses as higher risk.
• The firm may require a self-custody wallet for security and regulatory reasons.

Use your own wallet. If you do not have one, download MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or any reputable self-custody wallet app.

Forgetting to complete KYC

KYC is required before the first payout. If you submit a payout request before KYC is approved, the request will be held until you complete it. Do KYC as soon as you get the funded account, not when you are ready to withdraw.

Entering the wrong wallet address

Double-check the wallet address before you submit. Blockchain transactions cannot be reversed. If you send USDT to the wrong address, it is gone. Copy and paste the address, then verify the first few characters and the last few characters match your wallet.

Requesting below the minimum

If you request a partial payout and leave less than $50 in the account, you will not be able to request the next payout until you build the balance back above $50. Request the full amount or leave enough for the next withdrawal.

What happens after the first payout?

After the first payout, the process is the same, just faster. The 14-day waiting period no longer applies. You can request a payout every 7 days as long as you meet the minimum trading days and have at least $50 in approved profit.

Your wallet address and KYC are already on file, so you just log in, enter the amount, and submit. Most traders settle into a weekly or biweekly payout rhythm depending on their trading frequency and profit consistency.

The fee refund (on 1-Step and 2-Step accounts) is paid with the first payout. So if you paid $449.10 for a 100K 1-Step account with OFF10, that $449.10 is returned in USDT or USDC along with your first profit payout. From the second payout onward, you only receive your profit share.
