How do I forecast trader payouts?
Quick answer
Forecast payouts from your funded accounts: number of funded accounts, share requesting a payout each cycle, average profit at payout and the profit split. Start with cautious assumptions, then replace them with your own data as soon as you have a few payout cycles.
Detailed answer
A simple forecasting method:
- Funded accounts at start of cycle.
- Share that request a payout, for example from early data.
- Average profit per payout as a percentage of account size.
- Split paid to the trader.
- Payout = accounts × share × size × profit % × split.
Add a stress case where both the share requesting payouts and the average profit are higher.
Live data improves the forecast. Open floating profit on funded accounts tells you what may be requested next cycle. PropExecutor's API returns each account's balance, equity and open positions, and a full report with deals and statistics, so you can sum the floating profit across your funded book.
Worked example
Twenty funded $50,000 accounts, 30% requesting payouts each cycle, average profit 3% at payout, 80% split: 6 × $1,500 × 0.8 = $7,200 per cycle. Compare that with your reserve and next month's expected revenue.
Update often
Replace each assumption with measured data as soon as you have two or three cycles.
