A payout schedule where funded traders can request withdrawals every two weeks (14 calendar days). This is one of the most common payout frequencies offered by prop firms, balancing between weekly and monthly cycles.
Why It Matters
- 1Bi-weekly payouts provide a reasonable balance between frequent cash flow access and administrative efficiency.
- 2For most funded traders, the two-week cycle aligns well with typical trading rhythms — enough time to accumulate meaningful profits but not so long that funds are tied up unnecessarily.
- 3Compared to weekly payouts, bi-weekly cycles may allow you to build larger individual payouts and potentially qualify for higher withdrawal amounts per cycle.
Example
- 1Your funded account operates on a bi-weekly payout cycle starting from your funding date.
- 2You're funded on March 1st. Your first eligible payout date is March 15th. If you've earned $2,500 in trading profit by then, you can request an 80% payout of $2,000. Your next eligible payout is March 29th, and so on.
Common Mistakes
- ✖Confusing bi-weekly (every 2 weeks) with semi-monthly (twice per month on set dates)
- ✖Missing the payout request window and having to wait another 2 weeks
- ✖Not planning your trading around payout cycles to maximize each withdrawal
