Understanding the 10 Trading Days Requirement for Standard Payouts

This article explains what qualifies as a trading day and how to know when you're eligible for payout.

Updated over a week ago

📅 What Counts as a Trading Day?

In this context, a trading day is any day in which you place at least one trade in your simulated account.

❗Simply logging in or having the market open does not count — you must enter a trade for the day to qualify.


🕒 Why This Rule Exists

The 10 trading days requirement is designed to ensure that profits are generated through active participation, not just market fluctuations or holding positions without engagement.


✅ When Can I Request a Payout?

You can request a Sim Profits payout after 10 individual days when you have placed at least one trade.


📘 Examples

Example 1: Trading Every Weekday

  • You trade every weekday from Monday, June 2 to Friday, June 13.

  • You've reached 10 trading days.

  • You can request your payout on Friday, June 13 or anytime after.


Example 2: Skipping Some Days

  • You trade on June 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 16, 17, and 19.

  • That’s 10 trading days spread out over nearly three weeks.

  • You become eligible for a payout on June 19.

🕒 Non-trading days (e.g., June 4, 10, 13, 18) do not count, even if the market was open.


📌 How to Track Your Progress

You can track your trading activity using:

  • Your platform’s trade history or journal

  • A manual log of each day you placed at least one trade
