A trading day is any 24-hour period from 8 PM EST to 8 PM EST where you place at least one trade. It is used to track your trading activity and performance during evaluation or funded phases.
A trading day only counts when you meet the required profit condition within that 24-hour cycle.
How does a trading day count?
A trading day is counted when you place at least one trade within the 24-hour period from 8 PM EST to 8 PM EST and achieve a minimum of 0.5% profit based on your initial balance.
This means the trading day will only be valid if you both trade and reach 0.5% profit or more within the same cycle.
What if I don’t reach the 0.5% profit target?
If you do not reach at least 0.5% profit within the 24-hour trading day window, then that day will not be counted as a valid trading day.
You can still continue trading on other days until you meet the requirement.
Are there any examples of trading days?
Example 1
You place a trade at 9 PM EST and close it at 7 PM EST with a 0.3% profit.
This does not count as a trading day because the profit is below 0.5%.
Example 2
You open a trade at 10 PM EST and close it at 6 PM EST with a 0.6% profit within the 8 PM EST to 8 PM EST cycle.
This counts as a valid trading day.
Example 3
You place a trade at 8 PM EST and close it at 3 AM EST with a 0.4% profit.
This does not count as a trading day because the profit requirement was not met.
Do I have to trade consecutively to count trading days?
No, trading days do not need to be consecutive.
You only need to achieve at least 0.5% or more profit on any trading day for a trade day to count.
