To qualify, traders must demonstrate consistent execution over at least 30 trading days. There’s no deadline—take the time you need to build your profile and reach profit thresholds.
What Counts as a Trading Day?
We use your net economic position to determine trading days. A trading day is only counted once you fully close out your position, meaning your net exposure crosses zero (flat).
This prevents inflating trading day counts through partial position adjustments or additions.
Intraday Traders
Each calendar day you open and fully close your positions counts as one trading day.
Multiple completed trades on the same day still count as just one trading day.
Example:
Monday: 3 trades opened and closed → ONE trading day
Tuesday: 10 trades opened and closed → ONE trading day
Overnight Traders
A trading day is counted only on the day your entire net position is fully closed out.
Partial closures without flattening your net position do NOT count as separate trading days.
Adding new trades to an existing net position does NOT count as a new trading day.
Example scenarios clearly explained:
Scenario A:
Monday: Open 10 contracts.
Tuesday: Close 4 contracts (still holding 6) → NO trading day counted.
Wednesday: Close remaining 6 contracts (position fully closed) → ONE trading day (Wednesday).
Scenario B (Multiple Adjustments):
Monday: Short 5 contracts, close 3 (2 remain open overnight).
Tuesday: Short an additional 5 (total short = 7), close 4 (3 remain open overnight) → NO trading day counted.
Wednesday: Close remaining 3 contracts (net position fully closed) → ONE trading day (Wednesday).
Key Takeaways
ONLY full closures (flattening your net position) count toward the 30-day requirement.
Partial adjustments or additions don’t increase your trading day count.
One trading day per calendar day maximum.
