What it Means:
Payout Approval Rate tracks the percentage of trader withdrawal requests that actually get approved by the firm, not just how many were paid, but also how many were denied. It gives a fuller picture of how reliably profits are honored once a trader requests their payout.

​

Why it Matters:
Most firms only highlight how many payouts they’ve completed, ignoring how many were rejected or stalled. This stat changes the standard by exposing both sides, approved vs. total requests, making it harder to mask internal delays, excessive scrutiny, or policy misuse.

​

A high Payout Approval Rate means traders are consistently getting what they’ve earned. A lower rate could point to bottlenecks in the process or potential concerns around risk exposure, liquidity, or operational clarity.

​

How We Calculate It (Simplified):
We track every payout request submitted through the firm’s system, then calculate how many of those are approved. Canceled requests (initiated by the trader) are excluded, so the focus stays on the firm’s decision-making.
