What qualifies as a trading day?

A trading day is any day you place a trade. Days you do not place a trade, referred to as calendar days, do not count.

Example: You purchase a 1 step evaluation that requires a minimum of 5 trading days. This evaluation requires a minimum number of trading days. If you trade for 3 days and reach your profit target, you must keep trading for at least another 2 days to pass your evaluation.

Market hours vary by product, and it is the traders responsibility to know the hours. A typical trading day begins at 5 pm (CST) and ends at 4 pm (CST).

Example: Sunday 5 pm (CST) to Monday 4 pm (CST) counts as the same trading day.

Example 2: Thursday 5 pm (CST) to Friday 4 pm (CST) counts as the same trading day.

Sunday does not count as a trading day.
