Funding and payout — modelled time-to-funded and monthly income

← realbacktesting home
Modelled, not promised

How long to get funded — and what a month pays.

A Monte-Carlo over the realbacktesting engine's own daily returns — the same all-costs engine behind our headline numbers (intrabar M1, real per-symbol spread, 1 bps slippage, commission, swap; not cTrader's costless run) — 20,000 seeded paths, 10-day block bootstrap, walked through the FTMO two-phase rules. Median is the typical case; the band is the 25th–75th percentile. Nothing here is a guarantee.

Model assumptions & disclaimers
  • Source — the realbacktesting engine. Every path is block-bootstrapped from the realbacktesting engine's own daily P&L — the exact shipped cBot configuration run on real costs (intrabar M1 execution, real per-symbol spread, 1 bps slippage, commission, swap), additive sizing on €80,000. It is the same all-costs engine and the same daily series that produce the published headline metrics, not cTrader's costless m1/spread-0 run. The daily path reproduces each product's backtest total P&L and max-drawdown exactly.
  • Method: 20,000 seeded paths (seed 20260610), 10-day block bootstrap — the block length preserves the short-horizon autocorrelation and volatility clustering of the real returns.
  • FTMO model: Phase 1 +10%, Phase 2 +5%, each from its own start; hard fail on any single day ≤ −5% or cumulative ≤ −10%. 21 trading days = 1 month. No time limit assumed.
  • Payout = real calendar-monthly return × account size × 80% profit split (conservative; up to 90% on FTMO). Negative months pay €0 and must recover to the prior high-water mark before the next payout.
  • "Median month" is the typical month across the full 5-year history, including losing months; it is not a promise of any individual month.
  • These are models on historical data. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
