TopOneFutures Ignite Accounts Payout Requirements 2026

You bought an Ignite account because it promised automatic funding and fast payouts. But now you're staring at your dashboard, confused about when you can actually withdraw.

"Ignite AF v1.0" ... "ESS requirements" ... "15% consistency rule" ... wait, which version do I have? What are the actual payout rules?

Here's the problem: TopOneFutures released two versions of Ignite accounts. The old Ignite AF v1.0 (automatic funding) had one set of rules. The new Ignite accounts (released in late 2025) have different rules.

This guide breaks down payout requirements for both versions, so you know exactly what you need to hit before requesting a withdrawal.

Let's start by clarifying which Ignite account you have.

Quick heads-up: This article is based on my real experience with TopOneFutures and the info available when I published/updated this. Things change in prop trading — rules, payouts, promos, all of it.

Ignite Account Versions: Old vs New

TopOneFutures has run two distinct Ignite account models:

1. Ignite AF v1.0 (Old Accounts)

• Release date: Mid-2024
• Status: Limited-time offer (expired)
• Key feature: Automatic funding based on Equity Stability Score (ESS)
• Payout system: ESS-based eligibility

If you bought an Ignite account before September 2025, you likely have this version.

2. Ignite Accounts (New Version)

• Release date: Late 2025
• Status: Current limited-time offer
• Key feature: Simplified payout structure
• Payout system: Fixed 6% profit target + 15% consistency rule

If you bought an Ignite account recently (late 2025 or early 2026), you have this version.

How to check which version you have:

Log into your TopOneFutures dashboard. Look for:

• "Ignite AF" or "Ignite AF v1.0" → Old version (ESS-based)
• "Ignite Account" or "Ignite (New)" → New version (6% profit target)

Now let's break down the payout requirements for each.

New Ignite Accounts: Payout Requirements (2026)

The new Ignite accounts (current version as of January 2026) follow a simplified payout structure.

Payout Requirements:

Breaking Down the 15% Consistency Rule

The 15% consistency cap is the defining feature of new Ignite accounts.

What it means:

• You can't make more than 15% of your profit target in a single day
• This is the strictest consistency rule TopOneFutures offers

Example (New Ignite, $100k account):

• Profit target: $6,000 (6%)
• Daily profit cap: $6,000 × 0.15 = $900 max per day

If you make $1,200 in one day, you violate consistency—even if you hit the profit target.

Comparison to other accounts:

Ignite accounts are built for ultra-consistent traders. If you're volatile or you rely on big single-day wins, this account type will be brutal.

Minimum Trading Days Requirement

New Ignite accounts typically require 3–5 trading days before you can request your first payout.

Why?

• TopOneFutures wants to verify you're consistent over multiple sessions, not just lucky once
• The minimum days requirement filters out one-day hero runs

Check your dashboard for your exact requirement. Some accounts may have 3 days, others 5 days.

Payout Eligibility Example (New Ignite)

Scenario:

• $100k Ignite account
• Profit target: $6,000 (6%)
• Consistency cap: $900/day (15%)
• Minimum trading days: 5

Trading activity:

• Day 1: +$800
• Day 2: +$850
• Day 3: +$900
• Day 4: +$900
• Day 5: +$850
• Day 6: +$1,000
• Day 7: +$700

Total profit: $6,000

Result:

• ✅ Profit target met (6%)
• ✅ Minimum 5 trading days met
• ❌ Consistency violated on Day 6 ($1,000 > $900)

Payout status: DENIED

You need to wait for the consistency violation to reset (or contact support to clarify if it's a soft or hard violation).

Full breakdown of TopOneFutures consistency rules.

Old Ignite AF v1.0: Payout Requirements (Legacy)

If you have the old Ignite AF v1.0 account, your payout requirements are completely different.

Payout Requirements:

What is the Equity Stability Score (ESS)?

ESS measures how consistent and stable your profits are over time.

It's a dynamic score (0–100) that updates daily based on:

• Profit distribution (steady vs spiky)
• Drawdown management
• Trading frequency
• P&L volatility

Example:

• Trader A makes $10k over 20 days (steady) → ESS: 85
• Trader B makes $10k in 2 days (spiky) → ESS: 45

Trader A qualifies for payout. Trader B doesn't—even though both made the same profit.

The Four Key Requirements (Ignite AF v1.0)

To request a payout from an old Ignite AF v1.0 account, you must meet all four of these requirements:

1. ESS Score Above Threshold: Typically 70–80+ (check your dashboard)
2. Minimum Trading Days: Usually 7–10 days of active trading
3. Profit Consistency: Profits spread across multiple sessions (no massive single-day wins)
4. Drawdown Compliance: No violations of daily or max drawdown limits

If even one requirement isn't met, you can't request a payout.

Ignite AF v1.0 Payout Example

Scenario:

• $100k Ignite AF v1.0 account
• 15 days of trading
• Total profit: $8,000

ESS breakdown:

• Day 1–5: $300–$500 per day (steady)
• Day 6: $2,000 (spike)
• Day 7–15: $300–$500 per day (steady)

Result:

• Total profit: $8,000 ✅
• Minimum days: 15 ✅
• Drawdown compliance: Clean ✅
• ESS score: 62/100 ❌ (Day 6 spike tanked the score)

Payout status: DENIED

You need to continue trading consistently to rebuild your ESS score above 70.

How to Check Your Ignite Payout Eligibility

For New Ignite Accounts:

1. Log into your TopOneFutures dashboard
2. Check "Profit Progress": Should show 100% of 6% target
3. Check "Consistency Status": Verify no daily violations (15% cap)
4. Check "Trading Days": Confirm you've met minimum day requirement (3–5 days)
5. Check "Open Positions": Make sure all trades are closed

If all four show green, you're eligible.

For Old Ignite AF v1.0 Accounts:

1. Log into your TopOneFutures dashboard
2. Check "ESS Score": Should be 70+ (or your account-specific threshold)
3. Check "Four Key Requirements": All must show as "Met"
4. Check "Drawdown Status": No violations
5. Check "Open Positions": All trades closed

If ESS score is below the threshold, keep trading consistently to improve it.

Common Ignite Payout Denial Reasons

Ignite vs Elite vs Instant Sim: Which Has Easier Payouts?

Bottom line: Ignite accounts (both old and new) are the hardest to withdraw from.

If you're a consistent grinder, you'll be fine. If you're volatile or you rely on big single-day moves, Elite or Instant Sim will be easier.

My Take: Ignite is for Consistent Traders Only

I've traded both Ignite versions. Here's what I learned:

New Ignite (6% + 15% consistency):

• The 15% daily cap is brutal if you trade volatile instruments like NQ
• You need to spread profits across 7–10 days minimum to stay safe
• Not worth it unless you're already ultra-consistent

Old Ignite AF v1.0 (ESS-based):

• Even harder than new Ignite
• ESS is unforgiving—one big day can tank your score for weeks
• I hit $12k profit but couldn't withdraw because my ESS was 65

If you're choosing between Ignite and Elite/Instant Sim, go with Elite or Instant. The payout requirements are more straightforward, and the consistency caps are looser.

Ignite is marketed as "automatic funding," but in reality, it's the strictest payout model TopOneFutures offers.

Summary: Ignite Payout Requirements

New Ignite Accounts (2026):

• 6% profit target
• 15% daily consistency cap (strictest in the industry)
• 3–5 minimum trading days
• Drawdown compliance required
• No open positions when requesting payout

Old Ignite AF v1.0 Accounts (Legacy):

• ESS score above 70–80 (varies by account)
• Four key requirements must be met
• Typically 7–10 minimum trading days
• Profit consistency required (no spiky days)
• Drawdown compliance required

Which Ignite is harder?

Both are tough. New Ignite's 15% cap is brutal. Old Ignite AF's ESS system punishes any volatility.

If you're not already a consistent trader, skip Ignite. Go with Elite or Instant Sim instead.
