With a 40% Best Day Rule, you must ensure that no single trading day exceeds more than 40% of your total generated profits.
Why it exists (your upside): True professional trading is about consistency. This rule protects you from the "one-hit wonder" syndrome, helping you develop the discipline needed to manage capital over the long term and ensuring your payout eligibility is based on a solid track record.
Quick Explanation (Read this first)
Your top profit day (Best day) must be no more than 40% of your total profit for the period you want to request a payout.
If one day exceeds this limit, you don't lose your account; you simply need to continue trading to increase your total profit.
Plain English: Don’t let one big day dwarf the whole run.
Numbers in context
Fast math: If your best day = $1,000, total profit must be ≥ $1,000 ÷ 0.40 = $2,500 before you request.
A) Payout Request is possible
Day 1 | +$500 |
Day 2 | +$550 |
Day 3 | -$150 |
Day 4 | +$600 (Best Day) |
Day 5 | +$400 |
Total profit | $1,900 |
40% of Total profit ($1,900 × 0.40) | $760 |
Best Day | $600 Eligible for Payout (Below $760) |
Note: The best day is lower than 40% of the total profit
B) Payout Request is not possible
Day 1 | +$1,100 |
Day 2 | +$1,500 (Best Day) |
Day 3 | +$900 |
Day 4 | -$400 |
Total profit | $3,100 |
40% of Total profit ($3,100 × 0.40) | $1,240 |
Best Day | $1,500 Ineligible (Above $1,240) |
Note: In Scenario B, the trader simply needs to keep trading profitably until their Total Profit reaches $3,750 ($1,500 ÷ 0.40).
Intentionally attempting to bypass the Best Day Rule by splitting a large winning position through hedging or partial closures is not allowed and may result in all profit from that position being consolidated into a single day.
Example: Partially closing a large winning position across multiple days. It may be viewed as an attempt to bypass the rule, especially if the profit is generated during a single-day market movement.
Example: Opening several positions on a given instrument on one day and closing them across multiple days. Such positions may be considered a single trade idea. It may be viewed as an attempt to bypass the rule, especially if the trade idea capitalizes on a single-day market movement.
Example: Immediate opening, closing and re-opening a position held across multiple days. It may be viewed as an attempt to bypass the rule because such positions are considered a single trade idea with identical market exposure.
