Minimum Trading Days Explained

Minimum trading days rules require activity across a set number of days before passing or requesting payout. They are designed to discourage one-trade passes and encourage steadier behaviour.

Always verify the current wording on the firm’s official rule page. Small wording differences can materially change risk.

What to check

• Does a day count with one tiny trade or only meaningful activity?
• Is the rule used during evaluation, funded stage, payout eligibility, or all three?
• Can you pass the target before the minimum days are complete?
• Does forcing extra trades add risk to your strategy?

How to compare firms

Write down the rule in plain English, then ask: would my normal strategy break this rule during a normal losing day, a normal winning day, or a high-volatility session? If yes, that firm may be a poor fit even if the headline price is attractive.
