With a 35% Best Day Rule, you must ensure that no single trading day exceeds more than 35% 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 35% 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 ÷ 0.35 = $2,857 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 |
35% of Total profit ($1,900 × 0.40) | $665 |
Best Day | $600 Eligible for Payout (Below $665 |
Note: The best day is lower than 35% 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 |
35% of Total profit ($3,100 × 0.35) | $1,085 |
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 $4,286 ($1,500 ÷ 0.35).
How to use the Dashboard to your advantage
Remember that you can always rely on your Dashboard data
Go to your dashboard, check your payout overview, and hover over the (i) icon in the best day rule section, and you will be able to check:
1. What is the total amount of profits your account must reach.
2. How much is remaining to fulfill the best day rule.
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.
