Does Quant Tekel's Payout Split & Schedule include unrealized profits?

No, Quant Tekel's payout calculation only includes realized profits from closed positions. Open trades with floating profits don't count toward your net profit until you close them. Your bi-weekly payout is based solely on actual closed profit minus any fees or costs incurred during that period.

What happens if I breach the Payout Split & Schedule?

You cannot breach the payout split and schedule rule itself since it's a benefit structure, not a restriction. However, breaching other rules like the 4% daily loss or 10% total loss limits will terminate your funded account and eliminate future payout eligibility. Maintaining all other rules is essential to keep receiving your 80-90% profit share.

When does the bi-weekly payout schedule reset at Quant Tekel?

Quant Tekel's bi-weekly payout schedule runs on fixed calendar periods, not from your individual funding date. All funded traders follow the same bi-weekly cycle regardless of when they received funding. Contact support for specific payout processing dates as they maintain a standard schedule across all funded accounts.

Is Quant Tekel's payout calculated on account balance or equity?

Quant Tekel's payout calculation is based on net profit generated, which considers your realized gains minus fees and costs. This is separate from your account balance or equity figures. If you started with $25,000 and now have $26,000 balance, your $1,000 gross profit becomes net profit after deducting any trading costs before applying the 80-90% split.

Quant Tekel Payout Split & Schedule Rule Explained

Quant Tekel

Quick Answer

Quant Tekel's Payout Split gives funded traders 80% (up to 90%) of profits, paid bi-weekly.

The payout is calculated based on net profit generated in your funded account after passing both evaluation phases. Payouts are processed every two weeks once you're in the funded phase. There's no breach consequence for this rule as it's a benefit structure, but you must maintain compliance with all other rules to remain eligible for payouts.

Common Mistakes

Expecting Challenge Phase Payouts

Traders often assume they can withdraw profits during the evaluation phases. Quant Tekel only pays out during the funded account phase after completing both Phase 1 (8% target) and Phase 2 (5% target). If you're still in evaluation, even with $2,000 profit on a $25,000 account, no payout is available until you're funded.

Miscalculating Net Profit Basis

Some traders expect payouts on gross profits rather than net profits. If you made $1,000 but paid $115 in fees on a $25,000 account, your net profit is $885, making your 80% payout $708, not $800. Trading costs and fees reduce the profit base for payout calculations.

Missing Bi-Weekly Payout Windows

Traders sometimes expect immediate withdrawals after making profits. Quant Tekel processes payouts every two weeks on a fixed schedule. If you hit $500 profit on Monday but the payout window just closed, you'll wait nearly two full weeks for the next processing cycle.

Assuming Automatic 90% Split

New funded traders expect the maximum 90% split immediately. Quant Tekel starts funded accounts at 80% and increases to 90% based on performance milestones or tenure. You'll receive 80% of profits initially, meaning $400 from $500 net profit, not $450 until you qualify for the higher split.

Protection Strategies

Track Net Profit vs Gross Profit

Maintain a separate spreadsheet tracking your gross profits minus all fees and costs to calculate your true payout amount. This prevents disappointment when your $1,000 gross becomes $800 net after fees, resulting in a $640 payout at 80% rather than the expected $800.

Plan Around Bi-Weekly Payout Schedule

Align your trading capital needs with Quant Tekel's bi-weekly payout cycle rather than expecting immediate access to profits. If you need consistent income, ensure you have enough personal capital to cover two weeks between payout processing dates.

Set Payout Amount Alerts

Create alerts when your account reaches meaningful profit thresholds like $500 or $1,000 to help you calculate expected bi-weekly payouts. At 80% split, every $1,250 in net profit generates a $1,000 payout, helping you plan personal finances around realistic payout amounts.

Focus on Consistency Over Size

Prioritize steady profitable trading over large wins to maximize bi-weekly payout frequency rather than waiting for big payouts. Consistent $300 bi-weekly payouts ($240 at 80%) provide better cash flow than sporadic $1,000 profits every two months, especially while building toward the 90% split tier.
