Keep Your Accounts Active - Minimum Activity Policy

Monthly and Lifetime accounts have different minimum trading activity requirements. Monthly accounts require 1 trading day per billing cycle, while Lifetime accounts require 4 trading days.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

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.


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.
