Payout Proof

Verified evidence that a prop trading firm has successfully paid profits to its funded traders, used to assess a firm's legitimacy and reliability.

Detailed Explanation

Payout proof comes in several forms: official payout counters on firm websites, verified Trustpilot reviews mentioning withdrawals, screenshots from trader communities, and independent review site confirmations. Checking payout proof is essential before investing in any prop firm evaluation, as the industry has seen firms that failed to honour withdrawals. FTMO leads the industry with $500M+ in verified payouts. Traders should check multiple independent sources and be wary of social media screenshots that can be easily fabricated.
