To keep your DayTraders account active and in good standing, traders must meet a minimum trading activity requirement based on their selected account option. These requirements are designed to support different trading styles while keeping account rules simple and fair.
Activity Requirement Overview
Your activity requirement depends on whether you are on a Monthly or Lifetime account plan.
Monthly Accounts (Monthly Recurring Fee)
Accounts are rebilled every 30 days on the original purchase date
To keep the account active, you must complete:
minimum 1 trading day within each 30-day billing cycle
That trading day must meet the minimum daily profit for your account size
Consistency is not required
This option is ideal for traders who trade less frequently.
Lifetime Accounts (One-Time Fee)
One-time payment with no monthly rebilling
To keep the account active and in good standing, you must complete:
4 trading days within a rolling 30-day period
Each trading day must meet the minimum daily profit for your account size
Consistency is not required
This option is best suited for more active traders.
Example of How the Rolling 30-Day Activity Window Works
Lifetime Account Example (4 Active Trading Days Required)
Let’s say you purchase your account on January 1st.
Your first activity review would occur on January 30th.
At that point, the system looks back at the previous 30 days (January 1st → January 30th) to verify that you completed at least:
4 qualifying trading days
Each day meeting the minimum daily profit requirement
Consistency is not required
Example:
January 3 → Qualifying trading day
January 8 → Qualifying trading day
January 15 → Qualifying trading day
January 22 → Qualifying trading day
In this example, the account remains active because all 4 required trading days fall within the most recent 30-day window.
Important: The Check Happens Daily
After the initial review, the system continues checking your account every day using the most recent rolling 30-day period.
For example:
On February 1st, the system checks January 2nd → February 1st
On February 2nd, the system checks January 3rd → February 2nd
And so on
If one of your qualifying trading days falls outside the rolling 30-day window and you no longer have at least 4 qualifying days inside the current window, the account may be marked as inactive until the requirement is met again.
This means traders should maintain ongoing qualifying activity rather than completing all required days only once.
Why Is There a Minimum Activity Requirement?
The purpose of this policy is account verification, not trading volume.
Minimum activity helps us:
Confirm recent, rule-compliant trading behavior
Ensure account evaluations are based on current performance
Maintain accurate account status
This policy does not require you to trade more than you want, it simply ensures recent, compliant activity exists.
How It Works
Activity is measured over a rolling 30-day window
Trading days do not need to be consecutive
You can monitor your trading activity directly from your member dashboard
What Happens If the Requirement Is Not Met?
If your account does not meet the minimum activity requirement for your selected option:
The account may be marked as inactive
This can result in:
Temporary account interruptions
Delays when returning to trade
Issues when requesting withdrawals or advancing account status
Keeping your account active helps ensure uninterrupted access.
