The reward on an Eiger Funded account is 80% of the profit you make on your funded Simulated Demo Trading Account. It is the same on the 2-Step Challenge, the 1-Step Challenge and Pay After You Pass, and on every size from €10,000 to €200,000.
The number itself never moves. What decides how much you are actually paid is everything around it: when profit starts to count, how much you need before you can ask, and what gets taken off before the money goes out.
Key takeaways
- 80% of the simulated profit on the funded account, on all three programs and all five sizes.
- The share is set when you buy the account and stays fixed for the life of that account.
- Nothing is paid during the evaluation. The reward starts on the funded account.
- Each request needs profit of at least 10% of the account size, so on €100,000 the smallest request is on €10,000 of profit, an €8,000 reward.
- Profit made through prohibited strategies is deducted from the payable amount.
What does the 80% apply to?
The trading rules describe the reward as your share of the profit generated on the account. That profit is simulated: prices come from the live market, but your orders never reach a real exchange and no real money is traded. The reward, though, is paid in real money. It is a performance-based reward on simulated results, paid under the Terms & Conditions.
Only the funded stage pays. The evaluation steps have a 5% profit target, and hitting it does one thing: it opens the funded account. Profit made while you evaluate is not paid out. On Pay After You Pass there is one more gate, because the funded account opens only on the day the rest of the fee is paid. There is no deadline for that payment.
When you request a payout, every position has to be closed. So the profit that counts is profit you have already taken, not a floating number on an open trade.
Set at purchase, fixed for the life of the account
The rules page is short on this point: the reward is "set at purchase and fixed for the life of the account." Whatever you see on the day you buy is the share that account keeps, for every payout it ever makes.
Because the rate is identical across the programs, the program you pick does not change what you earn on a given profit. It changes how you pay the fee and how many steps stand between you and the funded account. The three programs side by side covers that part.
Same share on every program; the programs differ in how you get there.
A worked example on a €100,000 account
Take a funded €100,000 account. The first payout can be requested 14 days after the funded account opens at the earliest, and only once the account is at least 10% in profit, measured from activation. On this size that is €10,000.
Say you reach €10,000 of closed profit after the 14 days, with at least 5 trading days and 5 closed trades behind you. Your reward is 80% of €10,000, which is €8,000.
Two more conditions apply at the moment you ask. No single day may account for more than 50% of total profit, so on €10,000 no one day can have made more than €5,000. That condition never fails the account; if one day is too large, the request simply waits until profit is spread across more days. And there must be no open or pending rule violations on the account. The 50% consistency rule has its own article with examples.
The next request opens 18 days after the previous request and again needs profit of at least 10% of the account size, this time measured from the last payout. The calendar is set out in the 14 then 18 day payout cycle.
| €10,000 account | €1,000 | Smallest profit that allows a payout request (10% of the size). |
|---|---|---|
| €25,000 account | €2,500 | At that profit the 80% reward is €2,000. |
| €50,000 account | €5,000 | At that profit the 80% reward is €4,000. |
| €100,000 account | €10,000 | At that profit the 80% reward is €8,000. |
| €200,000 account | €20,000 | Smallest profit that allows a payout request (10% of the size). |
These are thresholds, not expected results. Most traders do not make a profit, and results on Simulated Demo Trading Accounts vary from one trader to the next.
What can make the payment smaller?
Every request is reviewed against the trade history. If part of the profit came from a prohibited strategy, that part is deducted from the payable amount. The prohibited list includes trades held for under 3 seconds, more than 5 positions open at once on one symbol, more than 3 size-ups in a row after a loss, and opposing buy and sell positions on the same symbol. Copy trading, signal services, EAs not approved in writing, HFT bots and latency arbitrage are also prohibited.
A breach is worse than a deduction. Breaching any rule fails the account, and under the Terms a breached account loses access to the platform and any unpaid simulated profit. Profit sitting on an account that has not yet been paid out is not yours until a payout is approved.
The Risk Disclosure adds one more case: profit generated by exploiting outages, feed errors or latency is not honoured.
Pay After You Pass: the checkout amount comes back
On Pay After You Pass the reward does one extra job. The amount you paid at checkout is refunded together with your first reward.
On a €50,000 Pay After You Pass account you pay €78 at checkout. The full fee is €390, so €312 is due after you pass, with no deadline. The funded account opens on the day you pay it, and the 14-day wait for a first request starts that day. If your first request is on €5,000 of profit, you receive the €4,000 reward and the €78 back with it. The details are in the checkout refund article.
When does the reward arrive?
Eiger releases approved payouts immediately. There is no processing queue and no batch pay day. How long the money then takes depends on your bank or on crypto network conditions, which Eiger does not control, so no arrival time is published. Before the first payout is released, identity verification (KYC) has to be complete; KYC before your first payout covers what the site says about it.
Frequently asked questions
Is the reward different on the 2-Step Challenge?
No. The reward is 80% on the 2-Step Challenge, the 1-Step Challenge and Pay After You Pass, on every account size.
Is the reward paid in real money?
Yes. The account is a Simulated Demo Trading Account and the profit is simulated, but rewards are performance-based rewards paid in real money under the Terms & Conditions.
Do I earn anything while I am in the evaluation?
No. Passing the evaluation opens the funded account. The 80% reward applies to profit made on the funded account.
Can the 80% change after I buy?
No. The trading rules say the reward is set at purchase and fixed for the life of the account.
Why was my payout lower than 80% of my profit?
Every request is reviewed against the trade history, and profit generated through prohibited strategies is deducted from the payable amount. Open a ticket in the client portal if you want the review explained.
