Note
This article applies to Gladiator Intraday and EOD accounts, as well as Sprint PTSA qualifying trading days. Swing accounts use weekly Benchmarks — see the Swing Trading Accounts – Master FAQ.
What is a qualifying trading day?
A qualifying trading day is a day where the account meets the required daily profit target while staying inside all active trading rules.
To count as a qualifying trading day:
• The account must reach the daily profit target for the selected account size.
• All trades must remain within the account's active risk rules (drawdown, MAE).
• The account must pass the end-of-day evaluation checks.
If the daily profit target is not met, the day does not count as a qualifying trading day. Any profit earned on that day will remain in the account balance and may contribute toward future Benchmark progress.

Sprint PTSA qualifying trading days
Gladiator Sprint does not use the Gladiator Benchmark ladder. In the payout phase, the Sprint PTSA, qualifying trading days count toward each payout request.
A Sprint PTSA qualifying trading day is a day where the account meets or exceeds the required daily target while staying within all active risk rules.
Sprint PTSA accounts require 3 qualifying trading days before each payout request. Qualifying trading days do not need to be consecutive.
Size | Qualifying Days | Daily Target |
25K Sprint PTSA | 3 | $125 |
50K Sprint PTSA | 3 | $250 |
