Minimum Trading Days

Beginner

Why minimum trading days exist and how to satisfy the requirement.

To ensure consistent trading behavior, all challenge phases require a minimum number of active trading days before you can pass.

Requirements

You must trade on at least 5 separate calendar days in each phase. A trading day counts if you open and close at least one position during that day.

What Counts as a Trading Day

A trading day is any day where you open AND close at least one trade. Simply opening a position without closing it does not count. Weekend days (Saturday/Sunday) when markets are closed do not count.

Why This Rule Exists

Minimum trading days prevent "one-shot" strategies where a trader risks everything on a single trade. We're looking for consistent, disciplined trading over multiple sessions.
