What is a Trading Day?

Understand how trading days are calculated and their impact on your trading schedule with Tradeify.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

A trading day is counted as at least one trade placed from 6:00 P.M. EST/EDT to 5:00 P.M. EST/EDT the next day.

Tradeify users should know that trading days are a critical part of the system, consolidated from 6:00 P.M. EST/EDT to 5:00 P.M. EST/EDT on the following day. It aligns trades and provides clarity on account processing.

The term can cause confusion, so it may be easier to think of it as "Market Session," instead.

To qualify for a payout in Tradeify, users must fulfill trading activity requirements, including trading for at least one trading day after initiating a request and ensuring each trade remains open for at least 5 seconds.

For example, if you placed a trade at 10:00 A.M EST and then another at 7:00 P.M EST on the same day, you might think that that's one "trading day," but it's actually two, because the trades fall on two different market sessions.
