At POW, profit withdrawals process on a monthly cycle. End of month → P&L calculated → wire initiated → 3-5 business days later, the money arrives in your bank account. First payout typically comes 30-40 days after your account goes live.
The complete timeline from account activation to first payout is typically 30-40 days. Subsequent payouts are monthly, 3-5 business days after month-end.
After your access fee payment clears, POW activates your account at the broker. This involves:
Timeline: 5-10 business days from fee payment to fully active account. In some cases (international accounts, additional verification), up to 14 days.
The algorithms trade your account through the first full calendar month (or the remaining days if activated mid-month). The account may generate profits or experience drawdown. Either way, you receive a statement at month-end.
No action required from you. You don't need to check positions, adjust strategies, or monitor anything. The POW team handles all trading decisions and risk management.
On the last business day of each month, POW calculates realized P&L across your account:
Timeline: Calculation runs end-of-day on the last business day of the month. Typically completed within 24-48 hours.
The wire transfer is initiated from the broker account to your bank. Standard domestic wire processing:
International wires can take 3-7 business days depending on the correspondent bank chain.
Your first payout takes longer than subsequent months because of the account activation timeline. Here's why:
If your account goes live on Day 10 of the month, you only have ~20 trading days before month-end (vs. a full month for subsequent cycles). The first month's payout may be smaller than subsequent months — that's normal. It reflects the actual trading days in that period, not a penalty.
Month 1 timeline example (account activated June 10):
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| June 10 | Account goes live, algorithms begin trading |
| June 30 | End of first partial month, P&L calculated |
| July 1-3 | Wire initiated and processing |
| July 3-7 | Funds arrive in your bank account |
Total: ~27 days from activation to first payout. Subsequent months are consistent 3-5 business days after month-end.
Your payout is verifiable through two sources:
1. Broker statement — You can log into the broker's member portal (POW provides credentials on activation) and see your account balance, realized P&L, and transaction history. The wire transfer to your bank appears as a withdrawal from the broker account.
2. Bank statement — The wire appears as an incoming transfer from the broker (TradaHouse or similar FCM). You can verify the amount matches the 80% share shown in your monthly performance report from POW.
3. POW monthly statement — POW sends a monthly performance report showing: gross return, trading costs, net profit, 80% member share, and wire initiation confirmation. This is your reconciliation document.
If any of these don't match, contact POW support immediately. All three sources should be consistent and verifiable.
Prop firm programs have different — and often worse — payout structures:
| POW DFY | Prop Firm | |
|---|---|---|
| Payout frequency | Monthly, 3-5 days after month-end | Conditional on consecutive profitable months |
| Minimum payout | None — even $50 gets wired | Often $100-500 minimum threshold |
| Verification | Real broker statement + bank wire | Internal ledger — no third-party verification |
| Withdrawal approval | Automatic — no approval required | May require discretionary review |
| Rule changes | Contractually defined | Prop firms can change terms mid-program |
| Amount held | 0 — all withdrawable each month | May be held until evaluation completion |
If your account experiences a drawdown month — say, -2% aggregate return — there's no profit to split. You receive $0 for that month. That's not a penalty — it's just how it works. The algorithms manage through the drawdown; the account continues trading; next month, if profitable, you receive your share.
There's no clawback. POW doesn't claw back previous months' profits if a subsequent month shows drawdown. Each month is calculated independently.
POW provides:
You don't need to check daily. The monthly report handles your accounting needs. If you have questions about a specific month, reach out directly.
Funded account payouts work like a salary: consistent, predictable, and verifiable. Each month, you receive your share of the profits, wired directly to your bank. The timeline is 3-5 business days after month-end.
The key difference from prop firm programs: there's no conditional waiting, no minimum threshold games, and no discretionary approval. Profit is calculated, your share is computed, wire is initiated. That's the entire process.
