Two things to understand before you buy
Daily Payouts is not a faster version of Flex. Two rules are stricter, and both catch traders out:
Your funded account uses intraday trailing drawdown, not end of day. The limit moves in real time with your highest equity, including open positions. The evaluation runs end of day trailing.
The daily loss limit is a soft breach the first two times. If you hit it three times inside any rolling 30 day period, the third hit closes the account.
Both are explained in full below.
Pricing and targets
| Daily 25K | Daily 50K | Daily 100K | Daily 150K |
Price | $89 (from $178) | $119 (from $238) | $189 (from $378) | $269 (from $538) |
Reset price | $79 | $109 | $179 | $259 |
Activation fee | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
Profit target | $1,500 (6%) | $3,000 (6%) | $6,000 (6%) | $9,000 (6%) |
Time limit | None | None | None | None |
Two resets are available per evaluation, the same as our other plans, at the prices above. Funded accounts cannot be reset. If a funded account is breached, you need to buy a new evaluation.
How to pass
Reach the profit target of 6% of your starting balance.
Satisfy the 40% consistency rule, which in practice means spreading your profit across at least three trading days.
Stay within the trading rules and loss limits below.
There is no time limit. Once you pass, your evaluation period is reviewed and your funded account is activated within 2 business days.
Maximum trailing drawdown
Your maximum drawdown is the level your balance or equity cannot fall below. How it trails depends on the phase:
Evaluation. End of day trailing. The limit moves up with your profits at the end of each trading day.
Funded. Intraday trailing. The limit moves in real time with your highest equity, including open positions, rather than waiting for the end of the day.
In both phases the limit stops trailing permanently once it reaches your starting balance plus $100. Breaching it is a hard breach and closes the account immediately.
Account size | Max drawdown | Evaluation | Funded | Lock point |
25K | $1,000 (4%) | End of day trailing | Intraday trailing | Starting balance + $100 |
50K | $2,000 (4%) | End of day trailing | Intraday trailing | Starting balance + $100 |
100K | $3,000 (3%) | End of day trailing | Intraday trailing | Starting balance + $100 |
150K | $4,500 (3%) | End of day trailing | Intraday trailing | Starting balance + $100 |
Example on a funded Daily 50K: Your equity reaches $51,400 during the session. Your drawdown limit immediately moves to $49,400 and does not move back down, even if the position reverses later. Once your equity reaches $52,100 the limit locks at $50,100 for the life of the account.
Requesting a payout does not move or lock your drawdown limit.
Daily loss limit
A daily loss limit applies in both the evaluation and the funded phase. It is the most you may lose in a single trading day.
Account size | Daily loss limit |
25K | $500 (2%) |
50K | $1,000 (2%) |
100K | $1,500 (1.5%) |
150K | $2,250 (1.5%) |
Hitting it is a soft breach. Your open positions are closed and trading is paused for the rest of the day. You can trade again in the next session.
Three hits closes the account. If you hit the daily loss limit three times within any rolling 30 day period, the third hit is treated as a hard breach and your account is closed. Instant Lite has a similar rule, but on EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Flex and Instant Classic the daily loss limit is always a soft breach with no strike count.
Contract limits
Full contract limits are available from your first trading day, in both phases. There is no scaling plan.
Account size | Evaluation | Funded |
25K | 2 mini / 20 micro | 2 mini / 20 micro |
50K | 4 mini / 40 micro | 4 mini / 40 micro |
100K | 6 mini / 60 micro | 6 mini / 60 micro |
150K | 8 mini / 80 micro | 8 mini / 80 micro |
Consistency rule, evaluation only
The consistency rule limits how much of your total profit can come from a single trading day.
Evaluation: no single day can account for more than 40% of your total profit. Landing exactly on 40% is allowed.
Funded: no consistency rule. Trade without a per-day profit cap.
Example on a Daily 25K. Your best day produced $800. With $1,500 in total profit, that day is 53% of the total, so the evaluation is not complete yet. Your total profit needs to reach $2,000 before that $800 day is no longer above 40%.
Exceeding the threshold does not terminate your account. You simply cannot complete the evaluation until your best day is no longer above 40% of your total profit, so keep trading.
Payouts
Profit split: 90/10 in your favour from your very first payout. No add-on to buy.
Eligibility: submit your first request 24 hours after you place your first trade on the funded account, then one request every 24 hours. The clock starts when the trade is placed, not when it closes. No fixed windows, no minimum trading days, no winning day requirement.
Profit buffer: your balance must be at or above the buffer level below before you can request. The buffer stays in the account and is not withdrawable.
Minimum payout: $500 on every account size.
Processing: within 48 hours of your request.
Processing fee: 2% is deducted from every payout to cover payment and transaction costs, so the amount that arrives is slightly below the figure on your payout certificate.
Account size | Profit buffer | Minimum balance to request | Maximum per payout |
25K | $1,100 | $26,100 | $650 |
50K | $2,100 | $52,100 | $1,000 |
100K | $3,100 | $103,100 | $1,500 |
150K | $4,600 | $154,600 | $2,500 |
Profit above the payout maximum stays in the account and continues to support your equity into the next request.
The daily progression rule
At least 50% of every payout request must be profit generated since your last approved payout. Put another way, you can request up to twice the profit you have made since your last payout, within the minimum and maximum above. For your first payout, all profit above the buffer counts as new profit.
Example on a funded Daily 50K: Your balance is $53,400, which is $1,300 above the $52,100 buffer. Your last payout was approved yesterday and you have made $700 since. The progression rule lets you request up to $1,400, twice your new profit. The 50K maximum is $1,000, so you request $1,000 and receive $900 after the 90/10 split, less the 2% processing fee, so $882 arrives. Your balance becomes $52,400 and your drawdown limit stays locked at $50,100.
If you do not meet the progression rule, the request is declined. That is not a breach. Keep trading and request again once at least half of the amount you want is profit made since your last payout.
Two checks run on every request. The progression rule above is one. The 60 second holding rule below is the other. Both have to pass, and a request can fail either one on its own.
Holding time: the 60 second rule
Daily Payouts uses a holding time rule instead of the 2 minute microscalping deduction that applies to EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Instant Classic.
At each payout request, at least 50% of your net profit since your last payout must come from trades held longer than 60 seconds. If it is not, the request is declined and the profit from trades held 60 seconds or less in that period is deducted. This is not a breach and your account stays open.
Tick scalping, meaning opening and closing positions within seconds to capture small tick profits, is not permitted on any GFF account including Daily Payouts. Profit generated that way may be reviewed and deducted.
Trading style restrictions
Daily Payouts is a manual trading product. Bots, Expert Advisors and automated strategies are not permitted. Grid, martingale and high frequency strategies are not permitted.
News trading
A 2 minute buffer applies around high impact news events in both the evaluation and the funded phase. You cannot open, close, or trigger pending orders within 2 minutes before or after a scheduled release. Positions opened before the window began may be held through the event.
This is stricter than our other evaluations, which have no news restriction during the evaluation phase.
Overnight and weekend holding
Neither is permitted. Any position still open is closed automatically at 15:55 CT, five minutes before the session ends.
Inactivity
Place at least one trade every 7 calendar days, in both phases. If no trades are placed for 7 consecutive days the account is breached and closed, and the fee is not refunded. There is no time limit on passing the evaluation, but the account does need to stay active. Tell support in advance if you are going to be away.
Account limits and copy trading
You can hold up to 5 funded Daily Payouts accounts. This is a separate allowance from the other plans, so 5 Daily accounts can sit alongside your EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan or Flex funded accounts.
Copy trading is permitted between your own Daily Payouts accounts only. Copying to or from another trader's account is not permitted, and copying between a Daily Payouts account and any other plan is not permitted.
Platforms and instruments
Platforms: NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView (via Tradovate), TickBlaze, DeepCharts, ATAS.
Instruments: CME index, energy, metals and FX futures.
KYC
KYC verification must be completed before your first payout. On a plan built around a 24 hour cadence it is worth starting verification as soon as your funded account is activated, rather than waiting until your first request.
Path to Live
Daily Payouts funded traders are eligible for GFF's Path to Live programme. Selection is at the discretion of the risk team. See the Path to Live articles for how the transition works and for the live account specifications.
