The Status Futures 5-14 Rule is a repeating two-stage payout cycle:
1. 5 Winning-Day Stage: Complete five qualifying winning days and request a payout, subject to all other payout requirements.
2. 14 Calendar-Day Stage: Complete a 14-calendar-day cycle containing at least five qualifying winning days and request the next payout, subject to all other payout requirements.
After the payout from the 14 Calendar-Day Stage, the entire cycle resets back to the 5 Winning-Day Stage.
The repeating sequence is:
5 Winning Days → Payout → 14-Day Cycle → Payout → Reset to 5 Winning Days → Repeat
The qualifying winning-day count resets after every approved payout. Qualifying winning days never carry over into the next stage or payout cycle. A maximum of two payout requests may be submitted per simulated funded account per calendar month.
5 Winning-Day Stage
Complete five qualifying winning days. The winning days do not need to be consecutive. There is no separate 14-calendar-day requirement during this stage. Once the fifth qualifying winning day is complete, the trader may submit a payout request, subject to all other requirements.
Payout Request → Winning-Day Count Resets
14 Calendar-Day Stage
The first new qualifying winning day begins Day 1 of the 14-calendar-day cycle. That first day also counts as the first of the five required qualifying winning days. At least five qualifying winning days must occur within the 14-calendar-day cycle. The winning days may be consecutive or spread anywhere throughout the cycle. The full 14-calendar-day cycle must be completed before the payout request becomes eligible.
Payout Request → Winning-Day Count Resets → Full 5-14 Rule Resets Back to Stage 1
The sequence then loops back to the 5 Winning-Day Stage.
Payout 1: Complete the 5 Winning-Day Stage.
Payout 2: Complete the 14 Calendar-Day Stage with at least five qualifying winning days.
Payout 3: The rule has reset—complete a new 5 Winning-Day Stage.
Payout 4: Complete a new 14 Calendar-Day Stage with at least five qualifying winning days.
Payout 5: Reset back to the 5 Winning-Day Stage again.
After every payout, the qualifying winning-day count resets. After every payout completed through the 14-day stage, the full 5-14 Rule resets back to the 5 Winning-Day Stage.
First 5 Winning-Day Stage example:
- Qualifying Winning Day 1
- Qualifying Winning Day 2
- Qualifying Winning Day 3
- Qualifying Winning Day 4
- Qualifying Winning Day 5 — Payout Request Eligible
Complete five qualifying winning days, request the payout, and reset the winning-day count. No 14-day cycle applies during this stage.
One valid 14-day stage example—the five winning days may also be spread anywhere throughout the 14-day cycle:
- Day 1: Qualifying Winning Day — 14-Day Cycle Starts
- Day 2: Qualifying Winning Day
- Day 3: Qualifying Winning Day
- Day 4: Qualifying Winning Day
- Day 5: Qualifying Winning Day — 5 of 5 Complete
- Days 6–13: Wait or Continue Trading
- Day 14: Cycle Complete
- After Day 14: Payout Request Eligible, subject to all other requirements
After completing the five qualifying winning days, the trader may stop trading and wait for the remainder of the 14-calendar-day cycle, or continue trading in accordance with all account rules and potentially build a larger account balance. The trader is not required to continue trading after completing the five qualifying winning days.
Completing five consecutive qualifying winning days and waiting through the remaining nine calendar days is one valid path—but it is not the only path. The five qualifying winning days may occur consecutively or be spread anywhere within the same 14-calendar-day cycle.
Once the five qualifying winning days are complete, the trader may stop trading and wait for the cycle to finish or continue trading to potentially build a larger balance. The payout request becomes eligible after the full 14-calendar-day cycle is complete, subject to all other requirements.
When does the 5-14 Rule reset?
The qualifying winning-day count resets after every approved payout. After the payout from the 14 Calendar-Day Stage, the entire 5-14 Rule resets back to the 5 Winning-Day Stage. The trader then repeats the same 5-stage, 14-stage sequence for future payouts.
5 → Payout → Reset → 14 → Payout → Reset Back to 5 → Repeat
