FundedNext paid $22.4M to 9,320 traders in October 2026.
A payout total tells you how much money went out. It doesn’t tell you how quickly it went out, how big the individual payouts were, or how many traders came back for more. This report covers all of that for every payout processed in October.
October by the Numbers
FundedNext processed 19,319 payout transactions in October. They went to 14,168 unique accounts and 9,320 unique traders.
Accounts outnumber traders because some traders hold more than one funded account. Transactions show how much volume was handled, while traders show how many people received a payout.
| Metric | October 2026 |
| Total disbursed | $22.4M |
| Payout transactions | 19,319 |
| Unique accounts | 14,168 |
| Unique traders | 9,320 |
| All-time payouts | $407M+ |
| All-time payout transactions | 317,486 |
Since inception, FundedNext has processed 317,486 payout transactions totaling $407M+.
Processing Time
The median payout in October took 2 minutes to process. That means half of all payouts were completed faster than 2 minutes, and half took longer. The mean was 9.81 hours, and the 90th percentile was 11.75 hours. 100% of payouts were processed within 24 hours.
The mean is much higher than the median because a smaller group of payouts took longer, which pulls the average up. No payouts took longer than 24 hours. Showing both numbers side by side gives the full picture, not just the best-case one.
The chart below splits all 19,319 payouts by how long they took.
13,122 payouts, just over two-thirds of the month (67.9%), were completed in under 5 minutes. That includes 6,185 (32.0%) in under 30 seconds and 6,937 (35.9%) between 30 seconds and 5 minutes. A second group sits in the 6-to-12-hour window: 3,468 payouts, or 17.9%.
Payout Sizes
Payouts between $1K and $5K made up most of the month: $15.83M, or 70.5% of the amount disbursed.
| Payout size | Amount disbursed | Share |
| Under $500 | $0.91M | 4.0% |
| $500 to $1K | $3.45M | 15.3% |
| $1K to $5K | $15.83M | 70.5% |
| $5K to $10K | $1.48M | 6.6% |
| $10K to $25K | $0.72M | 3.2% |
| $25K and above | $0.06M | 0.3% |
Payouts under $5K made up about 90% of the amount, and payouts of $5K and above made up the remaining 10.1%. The average payout was about $1,160, calculated by dividing the total disbursed by 19,319 transactions.
Payout Frequency: Accounts
58.0% of October’s payouts (11,196 transactions) were the first payout from a funded account. They were worth $12.20M, or 54.4% of the month’s value. The other 42.0% of payouts went to accounts that had been paid before, and by value, 45.6% of the month’s total came from these repeat payouts.
The number of payouts drops with each step up the ladder. The 2nd payout count (3,842) is about 34% of the 1st payout count (11,196), which is the steepest drop of any step. The 3rd and 4th payout counts fall further, to 1,949 and 899.
The 5th-and-beyond group has no upper limit, so it naturally totals more than the 4th payout alone: 1,433 transactions worth $1.72M, or 7.7% of the month’s value, from accounts with long payout histories.
Payout Frequency: Traders
This table groups the 9,320 traders paid in October by how many payouts they have received from FundedNext over their lifetime.
Traders with 1 to 3 lifetime payouts make up 56.6% of the base (5,276 traders) and contribute 27.4% of the value. Traders with more payouts tend to account for a bigger share of value than their numbers suggest: those with 10 or more lifetime payouts are about 17% of the base and contribute about 41% of the value.
393 traders have 25 or more lifetime payouts, which is about 4.2% of those paid, and they contributed about 12.1% of October’s value. 58 of them have gone past 60 payouts.
Account Age
73.6% of the accounts paid in October (10,220) were less than 30 days old, so roughly 7 in 10 were funded within the past month. The age groups below cover 13,887 of the 14,168 paid accounts, and the percentages are calculated on that base.
| Account age | Accounts | Share |
| Under 30 days | 10,220 | 73.6% |
| 30 to 90 days | 2,461 | 17.7% |
| 90 to 180 days | 654 | 4.7% |
| Over 180 days | 552 | 4.0% |
1,206 accounts, about 9% of the total, were more than 90 days old. 552 of them were more than 180 days old and still received a payout in October.
