What is the Minimum Trading Days Requirement?

Updated on September 28, 2026

The minimum trading days requirement ensures that traders demonstrate consistent performance over a set period, verifying trading discipline and risk management. A trading day is defined as any day on which at least one trade is executed and closed.

  • Flex Plan (Evaluation): There is no minimum trading-day requirement across any account size ($50,000, $100,000, and $150,000). However, to successfully complete the evaluation, you must satisfy the 50% consistency rule, which naturally requires trading across at least 2 separate trading days.
  • Direct Plan (Instant Simulated Funding): Direct accounts bypass the evaluation phase entirely. Because there is no evaluation stage required, the minimum trading days rule does not apply.
