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.
