Day-14 window, “flat & in profit” rule, and the first-payout document checklist — all in one place.

Updated: August 27, 2025 · FTMO US Rewards

Quick take: You can request your Reward from Day-14 after the first trading day, provided the account is flat (no open or pending orders) and in profit. Your fee is refunded with the first withdrawal. For the first U.S. payout, prepare your IRS W-9 and U.S. bank-account ownership proof. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Worked examples

First trade	Day-14	Closed P/L	Open/Pending	Eligible today?	Action
Aug 1	Aug 15	$+600	0 / 0	Yes	Request Reward in MetriX

Notes & best practices

Plan your “claim day.” Schedule a flat day in the Day-14+ window so floating P/L doesn’t block eligibility.
Mind costs. Commissions and swaps reduce net; include them in your planning so you remain in profit at request time. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
Have docs ready. W-9 + bank proof on file speeds up the first payout. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
Points option. You can convert a Reward to FTMO Points (site shows point value guidance) if you prefer to buy more Challenges. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Make your first Reward smooth

Hit Day-14, be flat & in profit, confirm docs, and request in MetriX — then plan your next scaling cycle.
