Trading days explained

1 min. readlast update: 10.28.2026

A trading day is any day on which you open at least one position. The day you close a trade does not count on its own.

Example: a position opened on 5 July and closed on 8 July counts as one trading day (5 July), not four, not two.

Days are counted in server time, which is UTC time. A day runs from 00:00 to 23:59 UTC, so a trade opened late in your evening may fall on the next trading day by UTC time.

Your progress is shown in your dashboard as Min Trading Days — days completed against days required. The number required depends on your plan, and on some plans there is no minimum at all.

You can reach your profit target in a single day, but your account passes only once the day count has been met as well.

The complete set of risk rules that applies to your account is set out in Risk Rules.
