Overview
In Real Prop, traders operate under the Real Prop Trading Agreement (RPTA) and become eligible for ongoing payouts.
PropShopTrader uses two earning models:
1. Gladiator Futures (Payout Account) automatic simulated payouts during Evaluation — payouts triggered as Benchmarks 2 through 7 are recorded, processed within 72 hours.
2. Real Prop payouts — ongoing payouts after the trader is advanced to Real Prop and the RPTA is executed.
This article covers the Real Prop payout model. For Evaluation-phase payouts on Futures, see Gladiator Futures (Payout Account) — How It Works.
When do Real Prop payouts begin?
Real Prop payouts become available once:
The trader is approved for Real Prop.
The Real Prop Trading Agreement is executed.
The Real Prop account is activated.
All initial payout conditions are satisfied.
Before any Real Prop payout is approved, the account must meet trading-day, consistency, and compliance review requirements.
Real Prop payout cadence
Real Prop payouts are processed on a monthly cycle.
The exact payout cadence and request windows are communicated when the Real Prop account is activate
Traders must meet the required trading-day and performance conditions before submitting a payout request.
Profit split — scales with account growth
Real Prop accounts start at an 80/20 profit split (trader / firm).
As the Real Prop account grows, the trader's share scales up to 90/10.
The exact scaling schedule is set out in the Real Prop Trading Agreement.
Real Prop payout eligibility conditions
Before a Real Prop payout request can be approved, accounts must meet conditions such as:
Meeting the required minimum trading days
Maintaining the required profit buffer above drawdown thresholds
Passing consistency checks
Passing risk and compliance review
These checks ensure that trading performance reflects consistent, sustainable trading behavior.
Consistency and risk checks
Before approving a Real Prop payout, the system may evaluate:
Daily profit concentration
Position sizing behavior
Risk management patterns
MAE behavior
Other compliance indicators
If an account triggers a compliance review, the payout request may be temporarily paused until the review is completed.
Real Prop payout caps
Real Prop payouts do not have the cumulative Evaluation-phase cap that applies to the Gladiator Futures (Payout Account) ladder. Real Prop payouts are governed by the Real Prop Trading Agreement, risk parameters, and compliance review outcomes.
Payout methods
Traders may choose any of the supported payout methods:
Wise
Riseworks
ACH
Revolut
Crypto
Bank Wire
PayPal
Payment details must be maintained accurately in the trader's dashboard to avoid processing delays.
Signing Bonus (Stocks)
Stocks traders receive a Signing Bonus when the Real Prop Trading Agreement is executed:
25K Stocks → $3,000
50K Stocks → $6,000
Fifty percent of the Signing Bonus is paid on execution of the RPTA; the remaining fifty percent is distributed across the first two Real Prop payouts.
