Overview
PropShopTrader traders earn through two distinct structures:
Gladiator Futures (Payout Account): automatic simulated payouts triggered as the trader records Benchmarks 2 through 7 during Evaluation. Benchmark 1 does not pay out — it triggers compliance and KYC review. Benchmark 8 triggers the Real Prop transition.
Real Prop: ongoing payouts under the Real Prop Trading Agreement (RPTA). Stocks traders receive a Signing Bonus when the RPTA is executed.
How Gladiator Futures (Payout Account) payouts work
During Evaluation on a Gladiator Futures (Payout Account):
• The trader completes a Benchmark by reaching the Benchmark profit target, completing the qualifying-day requirement, and staying inside all risk and compliance rules.
• Benchmark 1 triggers the firm's full compliance and KYC review. It is designed to confirm the trader's identity and risk profile before any funds are committed. No payout is issued at Benchmark 1.
• Benchmarks 2 through 7 each trigger an automatic simulated payout, issued within 72 hours of the Benchmark being recorded and compliance approval.
• Benchmark 8 triggers an automatic transition to Real Prop. No cash payout is issued at Benchmark 8 — instead, the trader is advanced under the Real Prop Trading Agreement.

How Gladiator Stocks traders earn
Gladiator Stocks accounts do not pay out during Evaluation. Stocks traders earn in two ways:
• Signing Bonus released when the Real Prop Trading Agreement is executed. Amounts:
• 25K Stocks account → $3,000 Signing Bonus
• 50K Stocks account → $6,000 Signing Bonus
• 50% of the Signing Bonus is paid on execution of the RPTA and the remaining 50% is distributed across the first two Real Prop payouts.
• Real Prop payouts on the monthly cycle once the account is in Real Prop.
How Real Prop payouts work
Once a trader is advanced to Real Prop, they operate under the Real Prop Trading Agreement.
• Payout split starts at 80/20 (trader / firm) and can scale toward 90/10 as the account grows.
• Real Prop payouts are processed on the monthly cycle.
• Payouts are subject to the standard payout conditions (minimum trading days, compliance review, risk controls).
Accepted payout methods
Traders may elect to receive payouts through any of the supported methods:
• Wise
• Riseworks
• ACH
• Revolut
• Crypto
• Bank Wire
• PayPal
Important compliance notice
All payouts, Signing Bonuses, and Real Prop approvals are subject to the firm's compliance and risk review. Any confirmed rule violation (hedging, coordinated trading, identity misuse, and so on) can result in forfeiture of benchmarks, pending payouts, and the account.
