Is there a time limit to pass an EverFunded evaluation?

There is no time limit to reach the target on 2-Step, 1-Step or Flash. The one clock that exists: an account with no activity may be closed for inactivity, after an e-mail.

No deadline to pass

There is no time limit to reach the target on 2-Step, 1-Step or Flash. You can take the time your trading needs. Instant has no evaluation, so there is no target to reach in the first place, and a funded account has no target to reach either, so there is no deadline to meet on it. You choose when to request a payout: where a 14-day wait applies, it is a minimum, not a date by which you must request.

The minimum trading days are a floor, not a deadline: an evaluation cannot pass before you have them, and there is no end date after that. In evaluation, a day counts only when its profit reaches at least 0.5% of the original account balance. Opening a trade alone is insufficient. See Minimum trading days on each account.

Key rule: No deadline does not mean no rules. The loss limits apply the whole time, from your first trade until you pass or the account ends.

The one exception: inactivity

Opening or closing a trade counts as activity, and so does a change in the profit or loss of a position you hold open. Signing in to your Dashboard or your platform does not. An account with no activity may be closed for inactivity, and we e-mail you first (Terms §5.7). It applies to every account: evaluations, funded accounts and Instant accounts all follow the same inactivity rule. Keep the e-mail address on your account current, because the notice about inactivity is sent by e-mail before any closure. If you plan a break from trading, read What happens if I stop trading for a while? first: it explains the process in full.

Example: A trader buys a 1-Step account and trades on a few days in the first week. However long the evaluation then takes, there is no deadline to reach the target. What can end it early is a breach of a rule, or a stretch with no activity, after which the account may be closed for inactivity once we have e-mailed them. Another trader buys a Flash and never places a trade: that account can also be closed for inactivity, after an e-mail.

If you receive an inactivity e-mail by mistake

If you have opened or closed a trade on that account recently, or you hold a position open on it, and still receive an inactivity e-mail, message us in the chat and ask for a person, or email support@everfunded.com with your account number. A person checks the account's trade record and puts it right. Never send your password.
