Quick answer: A trading day is a date on which at least one trade was opened — not a calendar day, and not a trade. Flex and Instant Funding additionally require each day to produce at least 0.25% realised profit.
What counts as a trading day
Opening at least one trade on a date makes it a trading day. Four trades on Tuesday is one trading day.
Flex and Instant Funding are stricter: a day only counts if it produced at least 0.25% realised profit — $250 on a $100,000 account, $125 on $50,000, $25 on $10,000. A losing, break-even or smaller-profit day doesn't count toward the minimum.
The requirements
| Evaluation | Funded (before each payout) |
Speedy | 1 | 10 |
Flex | 4, each ≥0.25% profit | 4, each ≥0.25% profit |
Pro | 3 per step | 3 |
Instant Funding | — | 4, each ≥0.25% profit |
Calendar waiting and trading days are separate
Waiting 30 calendar days does not create 10 Speedy trading days. Both requirements run independently and both must complete.
