Minimum trading days and qualifying days
Updated October 2026 · 3 min read
What counts as a qualifying day?
Opening a trade does not, by itself, make the day qualify. The closed day's gains must meet the threshold for your programme and stage. More trades during the same day do not create more qualifying days. Read the qualifying-day counter separately from overall account profit.
For 2-Step Standard, the requirement is 5 days at at least 0.5% per day. On a $100,000 account, that is $500 of gains for a day to qualify. A smaller positive day may improve the balance without satisfying this particular requirement.

Pay After Pass has no minimum-day requirement in its evaluation, but the simulated funded stage has its own qualifying-day requirement. Instant starts simulated funded and uses the threshold shown in that column.
Targets and reward dates are separate
Reaching an evaluation profit target early does not remove the required qualifying days. Equally, completing the day count does not complete an unfinished target. Each evaluation phase must satisfy its own published requirements.
The standard first-reward clock opens 14 calendar days after the first simulated funded trade. Weekends and non-trading days count towards that calendar, but they do not automatically become qualifying trading days. There is no best-day or best-trade consistency gate on any programme.
If you chose No Minimum Trading Days
The No Minimum Trading Days add-on removes the minimum-day requirement for the account it was purchased with. It does not remove evaluation targets, loss limits, identity checks, the minimum hold time or the reward calendar.
Check your purchased selection and dashboard before assuming the add-on applies. If a day appears to be missing, send support the account ID and the day you want checked, together with its closed result. A different account's settings do not establish this account's requirement.
