Minimum Trading Days Explained

Written by Tory Niquet

Minimum trading day requirements ensure that traders demonstrate consistent trading activity rather than achieving evaluation targets through a single trade or trading session. Trading days are updated at end of day (17:00 GMT).

A trading day is defined as a day in which the trader generates at least 0.5% of the initial account balance in realized profit.

This rule applies platform-wide to all evaluation accounts.

Example

For a $50,000 account:

  • 0.5% of $50,000 = $250

If a trader closes $250 or more in profit during a trading day, that day counts toward the minimum trading day requirement.

Days with less than the required profit do not count toward the minimum.


One-Step Evaluation

The One-Step Evaluation requires:

  • 3 minimum trading days to pass the evaluation.

Each trading day must meet the 0.5% profit requirement described above.


Two-Step Evaluation

The Two-Step Evaluation has two phases.

Each phase requires 2 minimum trading days before the phase can be completed.

Phase

Minimum Trading Days

Phase 1

2 trading days

Phase 2

2 trading days

Once both phases are successfully completed, the trader will receive a funded account.
