Payout policies

Payout rules depend on the account type. Elite Daily pays daily; Elite Access and Instant Sim Funded have 5-day payouts. On Instant Sim Funded the first payout needs 6% profit on the starting balance, the second 5% and later ones 4%; your best day may not exceed 20% of total profit, and a per-request cap applies ($1,500 to $3,500 for accounts bought before 27 July 2026, $1,000 to $3,000 after that date). All Sim Funded accounts pay 90/10. Payouts run through Rise (crypto or bank transfer) and a verified Rise account is required. Payout speed is not stated in the help centre.

Scaling plan

Top One Futures offers $25K, $50K, $100K and $150K accounts with contract limits (for example 3 minis / 30 micros on 50K). Its help centre describes a 'Path to Trading Live' and a maximum payout until live; check those articles for the current conditions. A previous claim of scaling to $2.5M+ could not be verified.
