Minimum Trading Days by Model
To count as a Valid Trading Day, the trader must generate a minimum profit of 0.5% of the initial account balance.
Evaluation models (funded stage, per payout)
- 1 Step: 3 days, or 4 days for accounts purchased from 27 July 2026
- 2-Step Standard: 3 days, or 4 days for accounts purchased from 25 July 2026
- 2 Step GOAT: 3 days, or 4 days for accounts purchased from 25 July 2026

- Pay Later: no requirement during evaluation, 3 days once funded

Instant funding models
- Instant GOAT: 5 days
- Instant PRO: 5 days

Your trading day count resets after each payout. A new trading day starts at 5 PM EST.
Example:
Initial balance = $100,000
0.5% minimum = $500
So the trading day counts as “valid” only if the trader makes at least +$500 during that trading day.
