Why a Payout May Require Review

Every payout request is reviewed before approval — what review looks at, why a request can take longer, and why there is no stated time promise on the review step.

Every payout request at FPT is reviewed before it is approved. Review is a normal part of the process, not a sign that something is wrong with your account.

Review and processing are two different steps, and only one of them carries a time commitment. Approved payouts are processed within 48 hours of approval. The review step that comes before approval has no stated time promise — FPT does not publish a review deadline, and any wording that suggests a 48-hour review is a summary that does not override this.

The Two Steps, Separated

StepWhat happensTime commitment
ReviewFPT checks the request against the payout rules and the conduct rulesNone stated
ApprovalFPT determines the payable amount after caps and the monthly maximum
ProcessingFPT sends the paymentWithin 48 hours of approval

The time a payment then takes to arrive depends on the payout method and is outside FPT's control. Methods will be published before the first payout cycle — see Payout Methods.

What Review Examines

Review looks at the account and the cycle behind the request. That can include:

  • Whether five qualifying payout days were genuinely earned at the account's minimum.
  • Whether the 40% payout-cycle consistency rule is satisfied against the cycle's total profit.
  • Order and position history: timing, sizing, market selection and risk behaviour.
  • Position sizing against the account's max open size and the 5% market-volume cap — see Max Open Size and Market-Volume Limits.
  • Whether identity verification is complete and the payout destination is owned by the account holder.
  • Whether the profile is a single, genuine profile, and whether related accounts show coordinated activity.

The scope of the analysis FPT performs on account data is described in Data Monitoring and Performance Analysis.

Common Reasons a Request Takes Longer

Most requests are straightforward. The ones that take longer usually involve one of the following.

  1. Verification is incomplete. A payout cannot be released before identity verification is finished. See Verification Before Funded Activation or Payout.
  2. A consistency question. A cycle with one dominant day needs checking against the 40% rule before an amount can be fixed.
  3. A sizing question. Positions close to the account's max open size, or close to 5% of a market's trailing 24-hour volume, may be checked against the recorded market data.
  4. Unusual market conditions. Fills in thin markets, or in markets that were later restricted or disputed, may need to be reconciled — see Market Availability and Thin Markets and Market Resolution and Data Dependencies.
  5. Related-account signals. Activity that looks coordinated across accounts is examined under Coordinated Trading and Related Accounts.
  6. Account information that does not match. A name, email or payment-method ownership mismatch has to be resolved first — see Payment Method Ownership.
  7. FPT asked you for something. If FPT requests information during review and does not receive it, the request stays open.

What You Can Do to Make Review Fast

  • Complete identity verification before your fifth qualifying day, not after.
  • Keep your account information accurate — see Accurate Account Information.
  • Trade a cycle with reasonably even days, so consistency is obviously satisfied.
  • Answer any request from FPT promptly, from the email address on the account.
  • Do not open a second request while the first is under review.

Review Is Not an Accusation

A request under review has not been denied and is not presumed to be a problem. Review exists because a payout is a real payment of FPT's own capital against a simulated performance record, and the integrity of that record is what makes the program work for everyone in it.

If a rule genuinely was broken, the review process and its outcomes are described in Rule Violations and the Review Process and Account Reviews. If a request is denied, you can appeal — see Payout Denial and Appeal.
