Minimum trading days explained

How many days you actually need to trade before you can pass each UZO product, and why there is never a maximum.

The short answer

Only One Step has a minimum: at least 2 trading days. Two Step, Instant, Instant Pro, and Instant 24h have no minimum trading days at all. There is also no time limit on any product, so there is no maximum number of days either.

A minimum trading day requirement exists to make sure a pass reflects how you actually trade over time, not a single lucky position. If you hit your profit target faster than the minimum, you simply keep trading until you have met the day count. We never ask you to trade longer than the rule states.


What a minimum trading day is

A minimum trading day rule sets the smallest number of separate days on which you must place trades before an evaluation can be marked as passed. It is a floor, not a target. It does not force you to risk more, take extra trades, or stay in the market once the count is met.

The point is consistency of behavior. A trader who reaches the goal across a couple of distinct days is demonstrating a repeatable process, which is exactly what UZO is funding. This is separate from any profit target, which is the amount you need to earn.


One Step: minimum 2 trading days

One Step is the only product with a minimum trading day requirement. You need to trade on at least 2 separate days before the phase can be passed, alongside reaching the One Step profit target. There is no time limit, so those 2 days can be back-to-back or spread out however suits you.

If you hit the One Step target on day one, that is fine. You stay active and place at least one more trade on a second day, and the evaluation completes once both the target and the 2 day minimum are satisfied.


Two Step and the Instant range: no minimum

Two Step, Instant, Instant Pro, and Instant 24h carry no minimum trading day requirement. As soon as you meet the relevant objective for the product, the phase or account can be passed, even if that happens on a single day.

Note that Instant 24h has its own structure: it asks for a 3% target within a 24 hour window. That is a window for the objective, not a minimum day count. The minimum trading day rule and the time window are different mechanics.


How a trading day is counted

A trading day generally counts as any day on which you place at least one trade. Days where you do not trade simply do not count toward the requirement, and they do not penalize you either.

The precise way a day registers, such as how open versus closed positions are treated, is reflected on your dashboard as you trade. If you are ever unsure whether a given day has counted, check your account progress on the dashboard or reach out to us at support@uzo.com.


No maximum and no deadline

Because no UZO product has a time limit, there is no maximum number of trading days either. You are never racing a clock. Take the days you need, trade when conditions suit your strategy, and step away on days you would rather not be in the market.

In practice

On One Step, plan for at least 2 active days. On every other product, you can pass the moment you meet the objective. Either way, the absence of a deadline means patience is always an option, never a cost.
