<![CDATA[prop firm payout patterns, what actually triggers delays]]>paid by 5 different prop firms over 3 years. tracking patterns:

fastest payouts (1-3 business days): blueguardian, alpha, fundednext sometimes
consistent middle (4-7 days): ftmo, e8
slowest (7-14 days, sometimes longer): some mid-tier firms i wont name

most of my delays werent firm-wide issues but specific triggers like: trade pattern that needed compliance review, account scaling requested, payment method change. curious what other people have seen trigger delays.
