Passing a prop firm challenge is a major milestone for any trader. But what actually happens after you’ve hit your profit target and followed the rules? If you’re trading with Top1Funded or any other prop firm, understanding the next steps is key to capitalizing on your progress.
Let’s break down what typically happens — and what you should prepare for — once you pass a prop firm challenge.
1. Verification Phase (Depending on the Firm)
Some prop firms use a two-step evaluation process. After you pass the first phase, you might need to trade a second account with a smaller profit target to “verify” your skills.
✅ At Top1Funded:
We offer a variety of programs, including instant funding, 1-step, and 2-step challenges, plus a paid evaluation program specifically for our Futures traders. If you’re in a 2-step challenge, you’ll progress to the Verification Phase, which typically has a reduced profit target and fewer restrictions.
2. You meet your goals and pass your evaluation.
3. Welcome to a Funded Account
After approval, you receive your funded trading account — the real deal.
Depending on the firm:
- This could be simulated capital (Forex/Crypto accounts)
- Or live capital (Top1Funded’s Futures accounts use real funds)
You’ll also get:
- A new login for your trading platform (cTrader, DXtrade, Match-Trader, or R|Trader)
- Access to the trader dashboard and payout request system
- Guidelines on drawdown, payout rules, and account scaling
4. First Payout Timeline
Payout policies vary by firm. Some firms delay your payout for weeks — others make you meet strict milestones first.
✅ At Top1Funded:
Your first payout is instant once you’re funded. After that, payouts are processed monthly, with no hidden requirements as long as you’re in profit and within your risk parameters.
5. Scaling Up
The best prop firms let you scale your capital over time.
Top1Funded allows traders to scale up to $1,000,000 based on consistent performance. This means more capital, bigger profits, and increased payout potential — as long as you trade responsibly.
6. Support and Community Access
Once funded, you should expect:
- Dedicated support
- A trader portal to track performance and payouts
- Community Discord/Telegram access (if available)
- Resources to help you continue growing as a professional
✅ Top1Funded offers 24/7 live chat support, real payouts, and ongoing trader tools — because your success is our success.
Final Thoughts
Passing a prop firm challenge is just the beginning. What happens after is where the real opportunity begins — access to capital, payouts, and long-term growth.
Whether you’re aiming to build a consistent income or scale to six figures, choosing a firm that rewards performance without hidden rules is critical.
