TX3 Funding Payout Rules: 100% First $10K, Then 90/10

• 100% trader split on the first $10,000 of cumulative funded profit
• Beyond $10,000: 90/10 split (trader and firm)
• 50% consistency rule applies on funded stage only, not on evals
• Dual vertical: FX and Futures share the same payout architecture
• MetaTrader 5 across both verticals
• 20% to 25% discount codes available on eval pricing
• 10% eval profit target sits entirely inside the 100% tranche

What TX3 Funding Payout Rules Are

TX3 Funding payout rules govern how a funded trader at TX3 withdraws profit from either the FX or Futures vertical. TX3 is one of the few dual vertical firms operating both forex and futures funded products under one ruleset. The payout structure is identical across verticals (100% on the first $10,000, then 90/10) but the underlying drawdown mechanics differ by product family.

Three concepts dominate TX3 payouts: the 100% first-$10K tranche, the 50% consistency rule that applies only on funded accounts, and the dual vertical architecture that lets traders combine FX and Futures funded books. Understanding all three is the difference between maximum per dollar return and accidental consistency-rule blocks that delay payouts.

Compared with industry standard 80/20 or 90/10 structures from day one, the 100% first-$10K tranche is genuinely generous. Most competing firms make the trader earn the high split through scaling milestones. TX3 frontloads the benefit, which produces meaningfully higher early funded net per profit dollar.

Funded Stage vs Eval Treatment

The 50% consistency on funded stage only is the second structural feature worth highlighting. Most futures props apply consistency on both eval and funded accounts. TX3 only applies it on funded, which means the eval phase has no consistency penalty for bimodal P&L. A trader who hits one big day during the eval cannot have it block the eval pass: only the funded payout cycles trigger the consistency check.

The 100% First $10K Structure

This is the headline rule. Every dollar of profit your funded account produces up to a cumulative $10,000 belongs to you in full. TX3 takes zero commission on that tranche. Once you cross the $10,000 lifetime profit threshold on a given funded account, the standard 90/10 split kicks in. A trader who produces $25,000 total profit on a TX3 funded account receives $10,000 (full first tranche) plus $13,500 (90% of the remaining $15,000), totaling $23,500 against a $1,500 firm commission.

Notice how the effective split rises with profit. At $5K total profit, the trader keeps 100%. At $25K, the trader keeps 94%. At $50K, the trader keeps 92%. This is the inverse of how most prop firms scale: usually the split improves with more profit, but TX3 structure means newer funded accounts actually keep a higher percentage of early profit.

Per Account, Not Per Cycle

The $10,000 tranche is per funded account lifetime, not per payout cycle. A trader who produces $4,000 in their first payout cycle and $7,000 in their second still keeps 100% of the first cycle ($4,000) and 100% of the first $6,000 of the second cycle (totaling $10,000). The remaining $1,000 of the second cycle splits 90/10. After the cumulative profit on that account passes $10,000, every subsequent dollar is 90% trader.

Multiple Accounts Multiply the Tranche

Each funded account has its own $10,000 100%-tranche. A trader running three parallel funded accounts has $30,000 of cumulative 100% capacity across the operation. This makes parallel account scaling especially attractive at TX3 versus firms that compound the high split only after a single account crosses meaningful profit milestones.

50% Consistency Rule (Funded Stage Only)

TX3 applies a 50% consistency rule on funded accounts: your single best trading day cannot represent more than 50% of total accumulated profit. The rule does not apply during the evaluation stages. This is a fairer structure than firms that apply 30% to 40% consistency on evals, where one good day can disqualify an otherwise winning attempt.

Practically: if you have $4,000 total profit on the account and your biggest single day was $2,500, you are over the 50% limit ($2,000) and a payout request will be blocked until total profit grows enough that the $2,500 day is below 50% of the running total. The fix is patience and a few more clean days of normal profit rather than aggressive single session pushes.

The 50% ceiling is more forgiving than the 30% to 40% ranges at competing firms. A trader who hits one big day on a news event can still draw payouts after a few additional clean days of normal profit. At a 30% consistency firm, the same scenario takes longer to unblock, sometimes weeks.

Payout Frequency and Processing

Specific cadence is not surfaced cleanly on the TX3 public materials. Industry standard expectation based on the firm positioning is a flexible request model: submit any time the consistency rule is satisfied and other conditions are met. Processing time is typically 1 to 3 business days for verified accounts. For account specific cadence verify the firm help center directly before assuming a particular schedule.

Wire and Rail Considerations

Banking infrastructure outside the major USD, EUR, and GBP corridors creates payout friction that compounds across cycles. Traders in emerging markets often discover their wire path adds 2% to 5% in fees and conversion spread over what the firm publishes. Test the full payout pipeline with a small first request before scaling the funded account, and switch methods if the effective fee is unacceptable.

Eligibility Conditions

• Account in good standing with no rule breach in the current cycle
• Daily DD 3% not breached during the request window
• Max DD 6% trailing not currently locked at the floor
• Consistency rule: single best day under 50% of total accumulated profit
• KYC verified with full identity check complete
• Position flat at the time of submission
• Minimum holding period satisfied (where applicable per plan)

The consistency rule is the most commonly tripped eligibility condition. Traders who run news strategies with bimodal P&L distributions need to actively manage the running ratio of their best day to total profit. The fix is to spread profit generating days across the cycle rather than concentrating into single jackpot sessions.

Profit Target Reminder

Profit target on the 1-Phase Challenge is 10% of starting balance. On a $50,000 account that is $5,000, which sits comfortably below the $10,000 100% threshold, meaning the entire profit target amount falls inside the 100% trader tranche. The trader who clears the eval cleanly receives the full profit target as immediate funded P&L equivalent if mirrored.

This is uncommon in the industry and rewards traders who hit the eval target cleanly. On a typical 90/10 firm, the same $5,000 eval-cleared profit would net $4,500 to the trader. On TX3, it nets $5,000. The $500 difference compounds across multiple funded accounts.

Dual FX and Futures Workflow

TX3 runs both FX and Futures verticals on MetaTrader 5. Funded accounts in either vertical follow the same payout split structure. The drawdown mechanics differ slightly: the trailing 6% with lock at +6% gain is documented for the FX side, while the futures specific mechanic has not been separately verified in public materials. The payout side is unified across both.

Most dual vertical TX3 traders run separate accounts in each vertical: an FX account dedicated to spot pairs and a Futures account dedicated to CME style instruments. The unified payout structure means cash flow from both pipelines lands on the same withdrawal architecture even though strategy and instrument selection differ.

Building a Two Vertical Operation

A common operating pattern is one FX account focused on London or New York sessions with majors plus EUR/USD, and one futures account focused on micro indices or Crude during US cash hours. The two strategies rarely correlate directly, which produces smoother aggregate P&L than two correlated accounts at the same firm. Cash management remains unified through TX3 dashboard withdrawal rails.

Dual Instant Funding Models

TX3 rolled out dual Instant Funding models in 2026. These skip the evaluation phase and grant immediate funded status at a higher upfront price. The same 100% first $10K plus 90/10 split applies. Buffer and consistency rules differ on the Instant path: confirm in the product dashboard before purchase.

Instant Funding suits traders with proven track records who want to skip evaluation friction. The trade off is the higher upfront cost and typically tighter buffer compared with eval cleared funded accounts. For beginners the eval cleared path remains the cleaner economic decision because the lower entry cost preserves capital for additional account purchases if the first attempt fails.

Practical Operating Considerations

Platform side, MetaTrader 5 covers both FX and Futures verticals. Platform choice does not change the rule set because the rules live in the account configuration on the firm server side. Pick the platform that fits your existing workflow and indicator stack rather than picking based on perceived rule advantages.

Tax planning around prop firm payouts is the most common overlooked detail. Payouts arrive gross: the trader is responsible for declaring income in their jurisdiction. Many funded traders set aside 25% to 40% of each payout into a separate tax reserve account to avoid year end surprises. Build the reserve habit from the first payout, not from the fifth.

KYC freshness compounds across payout cycles. Most firms require documents less than 12 months old. Traders who fund early in their first year often forget about KYC and get blocked on a payout 14 months later when proof of address documentation has aged out. Refresh KYC proactively before it becomes a blocker.

Bank or wire infrastructure matters more than payout structure for most traders. A great split on a firm whose wire path fails in your jurisdiction is worse than a slightly lower split on a firm whose wire path works cleanly. Verify wire compatibility before paying for an eval, especially if you bank in non major currencies.

Track every payout in a spreadsheet from day one. Date, amount requested, amount received, fee deductions, method, settlement time. The dataset becomes invaluable for tax season, for diagnosing inconsistent processing times, and for comparing firms over your career. Most traders skip this step and regret it.

Compliance and Anti Fraud Considerations

Compliance driven payout delays are a real category. Traders flagged for unusual activity (sudden style change, new IP address, KYC document mismatch) may face a one cycle delay while the firm verifies. The delay is usually not punitive but does require patience. Maintain consistent behavior across sessions to minimize compliance flags.

Currency Exposure Across Borders

Currency exposure across borders compounds. A trader paid in USD but spending in EUR carries implicit FX exposure between payout and bill payment. Use a multi currency account (Wise, Revolut, brokerage cash) to hold settlement currency until needed rather than converting immediately at receipt. The savings compound across years of payouts.

Case Study: First Three Payout Cycles

Consider a trader who clears the eval and lands their first funded payout cycle. Cycle one is typically smaller than expected, somewhere in the $1,500 to $4,000 range, because the trader is still adjusting position size to funded conditions. Cycle two produces a meaningful step up as confidence builds and the trader sizes into documented edge. Cycle three either consolidates the cycle two gain or reverts to cycle one size depending on whether the trader maintained discipline.

Most traders who reach the third payout cycle go on to multi account scaling. Most traders who never reach the third cycle either breached on a cycle two over size or burned out on the slow pace of cycle one. The third cycle is the inflection point. Plan to reach it with consistent sizing rather than aggressive growth.

By the end of cycle three, the trader should have enough data to make the scaling decision rationally. Average daily P&L, biggest day, drawdown extremes, time of day performance: all should be documented and visible. Without this data, the scaling decision becomes emotional and typically wrong.

Behavioral consistency matters as much as numerical compliance. Traders who execute the same routine across every session (same prep, same instrument focus, same risk per trade) produce more predictable outcomes than traders with great strategies but variable execution. The infrastructure of consistency compounds across the funded account lifecycle and is harder to fake than backtested edge.

Risk of Ruin and Sizing Math

Risk of ruin math is the most under used tool in prop firm trading. Map your per trade risk, win rate, and average winner-to-loser size into a simple Kelly or risk of ruin calculation. The output usually surprises traders into sizing down. Even strong strategies face meaningful ruin probability when sized aggressively against tight drawdown rules. The TX3 3% daily plus 6% trailing combination is workable, but only at sizes that respect the math.

When the rule set and your strategy interact in unexpected ways, document the observation immediately. Many traders discover an edge case at 2pm on a Friday and forget the detail by Monday morning, then re-discover it during a costly mistake weeks later. A simple text file with edge case notes (labeled with the date discovered and the specific rule context) saves repeated learning of the same lesson.

How the 100% Tranche Affects Cycle Planning

The 100% first $10K tranche shapes cycle planning in ways most traders miss on first read. A trader expecting to produce $4,000 per month on a funded account hits the tranche cap somewhere in month 3. After that point, every dollar of profit splits 90/10. This produces a natural cycle calendar: months 1 through 3 are 100% tranche months, and month 4 onward is standard split.

Withdrawal cadence interacts with this calendar. A trader who withdraws monthly receives the full $4,000 net for cycles 1 and 2, then approximately $3,600 net per cycle from month 4 onward. The transition is smooth rather than abrupt because the tranche is measured cumulatively, not per cycle.

Aggressive traders who push for $8,000 to $10,000 per month hit the tranche cap in month 1 or 2 and operate the rest of the funded account on 90/10 from a much earlier point. Conservative traders who produce $2,000 per month extend the tranche benefit across more cycles but capture less total dollars during the 100% window.

Tax Treatment of the 100% Tranche

From a tax perspective, the 100% tranche does not change the income classification: payouts remain ordinary self employment or business income in most jurisdictions. The structural benefit is purely on the gross to net conversion at the firm level, not on the tax treatment afterward. Set aside 25% to 40% of every payout into a tax reserve regardless of whether the underlying tranche was 100% or 90/10.

Some traders structure their TX3 income through a trading LLC or trading entity to access additional deductions. The 100% tranche flows through cleanly into entity structures because the firm pays gross to the trader (or to the trader entity) and tax treatment occurs at the trader level. Discuss the optimal entity structure with a CPA familiar with prop firm income before committing to a specific approach.

Multi Currency Funded Operations

Traders operating from non-USD jurisdictions face an underappreciated layer of cost: currency conversion at the payout level. TX3 settles payouts in USD by default. A trader in the EU receives USD, then converts to EUR at the bank or fintech rate, which typically costs 0.5% to 2% depending on the rail. Across 12 monthly payouts, the conversion cost compounds into a real percentage of total earnings.

The fix is to hold the USD payout in a multi currency account (Wise, Revolut, or a brokerage cash account) until needed for local spending, and convert only when the rate is favorable or the spending need is imminent. Some traders also hold USD long term as a portfolio allocation, treating prop firm payouts as USD savings rather than immediate income.

Tax treatment differs depending on the holding strategy. Holding USD long term may trigger FX capital gains or losses at conversion in some jurisdictions. Consult a local CPA familiar with multi currency tax treatment before adopting a holding strategy that could create unexpected tax events.

Comparison with Other Dual Vertical Firms

TX3 dual vertical FX plus Futures positioning is not unique. A small group of competitors operate similar structures with varying mechanics. Comparing TX3 against this peer set surfaces the structural advantages and disadvantages clearly.

TX3 stands out on the 100% first $10K tranche, which no peer in the table replicates with the same structural simplicity. The 50% consistency on funded only is also distinctively trader friendly. These two features are the primary reasons TX3 attracts traders who would otherwise default to larger more established firms.

Scaling Strategy on TX3

The 100% first $10K tranche makes parallel account scaling unusually attractive at TX3. A trader running three parallel $100K funded accounts effectively has $30,000 of cumulative 100% tranche capacity across the operation. This is meaningfully more attractive than firms where scaling only improves the split after a single account hits high cumulative profit.

The practical scaling path is to clear the first funded account, build 1 to 3 months of clean track record, then add a second account in parallel rather than upgrading to a larger size on the first account. The parallel structure preserves the tranche benefit and diversifies operational risk. A bad week on one account does not interfere with the cash flow from the other.

Position sizing across parallel accounts requires explicit risk management. The drawdown rules apply per account, but the trader cash flow and risk capital is aggregated. Treat the parallel accounts as a portfolio with correlated underlying risks rather than as fully independent streams. Adverse market moves often hit multiple accounts simultaneously.

Edge Cases on the Trailing Drawdown Lock

The 6% trailing drawdown that locks at +6% gain has a subtle edge case worth understanding. The lock activates the first time equity reaches the +6% threshold, not based on cumulative profit over time. A trader who reaches +6% then withdraws back to +3% retains the lock; the floor stays at the original starting balance permanently.

This is a structurally important feature because it means traders do not need to maintain elevated equity to keep the lock active. Once activated, the lock is permanent for the account lifetime. The implication is that the first push to +6% is the most important phase of the funded account: clear it cleanly, lock the floor, then operate with the permanent floor benefit thereafter.

Bottom Line

TX3 Funding 100% first $10K is the most generous opening split structure in the dual vertical prop space. The 50% consistency on funded stage only (not on evals) is the other notable trader friendly clause. Pair the two with the 10% profit target sitting fully inside the 100% tranche and the economics are unusually clean for first time funded traders. Apply a 20% to 25% discount code on eval purchase, pick one vertical to start, and aim to clear the first $10K of funded profit before splitting kicks in.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the TX3 Funding profit split?

100% on the first $10,000 of cumulative profit, then 90/10 thereafter. The first $10K is the most generous opening tranche in the dual vertical prop space. A trader who produces $25,000 total profit on a single TX3 funded account keeps $23,500 (94%) under this structure versus $22,500 under a flat 90/10 model.

Does the 100% tranche reset per payout?

No, it is per funded account lifetime. Once you cross $10,000 cumulative profit on a given account, the 90/10 split applies for all subsequent profit on that account. The tranche does not refresh on a calendar cycle. Multiple parallel funded accounts each receive their own $10,000 100% tranche, which multiplies the structural benefit.

What is the consistency rule?

50% on the funded stage only: single best day must stay under 50% of total profit. More forgiving than the 30% to 40% ranges at competing firms. A bimodal P&L distribution with one large news day can recover into compliance within a few additional clean trading days rather than requiring weeks of recovery.

Does consistency apply during the eval?

No, only on funded accounts. Bimodal P&L distributions during the eval do not trigger consistency blocks. A trader who hits the entire eval target on a single news day still passes the eval. The consistency check activates only at the first payout request on a funded account.

What is the daily loss limit?

3% of the higher of starting balance or equity, calculated at 5pm EST. Profitable accounts get more daily risk room session by session. The dynamic calculation against equity rather than starting balance is a structural advantage versus firms that lock the daily limit at the initial value forever.

What is the max drawdown?

6% trailing, but it locks at the original starting balance once you reach +6% gain. After lock activation the floor is permanently static. This trail-then-lock structure is more forgiving than continuous trailing because the lock removes the equity-tracking penalty after the trader has built meaningful cushion.

Are payouts paid through MetaTrader 5?

MT5 is the trading platform; payouts process through TX3 dashboard via separate payment rails. Specific method options are not surfaced on public materials. Verify the firm help center for current options. Wire transfer is the most common method across FX prop firms; crypto rails are an increasingly available alternative.

Is there a profit target on the funded stage?

No, the 10% target is for the eval only. Funded accounts have no additional profit target. Submit payouts whenever the consistency rule and other eligibility conditions are met. This is friendlier than firms that require additional profit milestones inside the funded phase before allowing withdrawals.

Can I have both FX and Futures accounts at TX3?

Yes, TX3 is dual vertical. Each account follows the rules independently and the payout split structure applies uniformly across both. A common operating pattern is one FX account during European session hours and one futures account during US cash hours, producing smoother aggregate P&L than two correlated accounts.

Does the eval fee get refunded?

Not as a default term. Discount codes in the 20% to 25% range reduce upfront cost instead of post-payout refunds. Apply a code at checkout to lower entry cost. Some firms operate refund mechanics tied to first payout; TX3 publishes its discount model rather than a refund mechanic.

How does the $10K tranche interact across multiple accounts?

Each funded account has its own $10,000 tranche. Running multiple funded accounts in parallel multiplies the total 100%-split profit you can accumulate across the operation. Three parallel funded accounts produce $30,000 of cumulative 100% capacity, which is meaningful at scale.

Does Instant Funding inherit the same split?

Yes, the 100% first $10K plus 90/10 split applies on Instant Funding too. Buffer and consistency specifics differ: confirm in the product dashboard before purchase. Instant Funding suits experienced traders willing to pay higher upfront cost for immediate funded status.

How long do payouts take to process at TX3?

Industry standard expectation is 1 to 3 business days for verified accounts. TX3 does not surface a specific guaranteed window publicly. Submit early in the week to maximize the chance of same week settlement, and avoid submitting on Friday evenings where the request rolls into the next business cycle.

What happens if I breach consistency at payout time?

The payout request is blocked rather than the account being terminated. The fix is patience: continue trading clean sessions until the running ratio of your best day to total profit drops back under 50%. Then resubmit the payout request. The block is temporary, not punitive.

Can I withdraw the full balance at once?

Subject to consistency check and any plan specific minimums or maximums. Most traders withdraw on a cycle basis rather than full balance every time. Leaving working capital in the account preserves operating buffer above the trailing drawdown floor, which is structurally important for sustained funded operation.

Does the firm have a payout history or proof?

TX3 does not publish a centralized payout history on its public materials. Trustpilot reviews and community discussion are the primary external signal sources. Test the payout pipeline with a small first request before scaling sizing or adding parallel accounts to verify the wire path works in your jurisdiction.
