Minimum trading days
Minimum trading days is the number of separate days with at least one fill that a phase needs before it can pass.
A phase cannot pass before you have traded on enough separate days, even if the target is already met.
How it is counted here
A trading day is a UTC day, from 00:00 UTC, with at least one fill. Days do not need to be consecutive, and days without a fill do not count.
- Classic 1-Step: at least 3 trading days.
- 2-Step: at least 3 in phase 1 and 3 in phase 2.
- Funded account: no minimum.
If the target is reached early, the phase waits until the days are met, and the loss floors still apply while it waits.
