Minimum Realized Profit Requirement

General Requirement: A minimum realized profit of $200 is required for a trading day to count as active.

Lower Threshold Accounts: Certain accounts have a reduced minimum profit requirement of $100. This applies to:

  • 10K 1 Step
  • 25K 1 Step
  • 25K EOD
  • 100K Static

Best Active Trading Day P&L Requirement

The realized profit for each active trading day must be at least 23% of the Best Active Trading Day P&L. If a new Best Active Trading Day P&L is set, it applies to subsequent trading days and adjusts the required profit threshold.

Active Trading Day Credit

If you meet the minimum realized profit and the 23% of Best Active Trading Day P&L, the day will be credited as an active trading day. If either criterion is unmet, the day will not qualify as active, though the day’s P&L will still count toward your account balance. Simply continue trading to achieve an active trading day.

Market Hours and Trading Days

Trading days align with product-specific market hours. Most products consider a trading day as running from 5 p.m. CST to 4 p.m. CST the following day.

  • Example 1: Sunday 5 p.m. CST to Monday 4 p.m. CST counts as one trading day.
  • Example 2: Thursday 5 p.m. CST to Friday 4 p.m. CST counts as one trading day.
  • Note: Sunday is not considered a trading day.
